Calm, calm, caaaaaalm down

Calming Presence

You're about to go off the rails. No, no "about," actually. You've left that train track fair behind, and you're crazy. Rage fills every inch of you, and there's no doubt you're about to do something dangerous, stupid, or reckless. Or all three. There's only one person who can calm you down: your partner.

Now, they're using closeness, reassurance, or physical intimacy to remind you what really matters, which is the two of you. Surely, this will bring you back, letting the anger ebb out and you'll be able to think straight again, even if your lover was the actual cause of all this mess.

Won't it? Surely you won't direct your wrath towards them, no matter what.

[ ooc: bi for shipping; canon, cross canon, assumed cr and OCs are equally welcome. Clara can be either role, easily. ]

[OOC: He's likely the one doing the calming but I'm open to working with either scenario. Previous, new, or assumed CR are all welcome.]

[The calming one.]

[ ooc; probably the calming presence but honestly down for working with it being in the other direction! previous and assumed cr, cross-canon, au and etc all welcome! ]

[Voicetesting. He could really use some calming. OTA gen, ask first about ships. Warning in journal.]

[ Jon is...a non-ideal choice for being the calming presence, so that's obviously the side I'm looking to play 👀 gen only. more info/prefs in journal. Jon is especially likely to bond with someone else involved in the supernatural/for cross-canon this can get extended to all sorts of sci-fi things as well. assumed cr might make more sense for this. can write starters. very okay with it being a harrowing near-miss of calming the other down/very fraught/etc, or more soothing takes on it. ]
