Dearest.

[buckingham]

terms

of

endearment

Pookie. Honey bear. That Bastard. Sun and stars, moon of my life. Prince of Darkness.

Pet names. Love 'em. Hate 'em. Whether they send you swooning or get your eyeballs rolling, they own at least a little charm. Sometimes, with the right combo of words, we just can’t get enough!

Does your character have an alias for that special someone in their life? Don’t worry, you can tell us. And the character that affectionate nickname belongs to.

▶ For the top-level folks: DO NOT LEAVE YOUR COMMENT BLANK. After you set up your name/canon/preference header, go into the comment and fill us in on what pet name would be your character's go-to. Gun to their head, if that's the necessary provision.

▶ For the reply folks: their character just called your character...that. You read it. That. Go nuts.

[That's new and despite the post-fight haze Scott is a hundred percent certain it's not meant for him. He's just won a fight, though, a little high on adrenaline and pain, so he puts on his best smile for the poor sack who's about to have the displeasure of meeting him.]

Yes, babe?

[ He speaks with a candied tongue, reared into the proclivity by a mother who spoke the same way. It's a multifaceted custom that he liberally applies to cultivate a sense of familiarity, or he heaps a cloying wad of it onto an edge that not only will prick, but it will stick.

Names will be shortened, people become pups, and to anyone who happens to be smaller they'll become a "little" lass, laddie, or whatever else. But anyone who's spoken to Finn long enough knows that there's one term that he appoints to everyone. It comes almost as often as he breathes; it's nothing special, but this time there's something different in his tone or the look in his eyes when he utters the usual: ]
