Kissing Scars

The Kissing Scars Meme
Despite the romanticism surrounding the emotion, it can be difficult to be loved completely — not just the beautiful parts of us, but also the sad parts, the injured parts, the hidden and less-than-pleasant parts. There are marks on us, both physical and mental, that we'd often rather forget. The mental ones can just be easier to hide. As for physical scars, they can be off of our minds some of the time, but that's exceedingly hard to do in more intimate, close moments.

Whether it's to your dismay or otherwise, your partner is not looking away and ignoring your scars. To the contrary, they're providing attention in a way most heavily associated with tenderness: kissing. It may be an accidental slip-off target, or they may be trying to show you that what you've done and who you've been don't matter to them now.

Does the gesture touch you? Make the walls come up once again because of the memories that are dredged from somewhere you'd rather no-go? A mixture of both?

The wound has long closed, yet the pains remain; these days, however, there's someone who may be willing to help you bear it.

  • Reply with the usual: canon, character, preferences, et al. You may also want to say if you're down for smut or not, since it's not a given.
  • Be sure to include what side you'd like your character to play. Mention if you can do both the kisser and the kissed.
  • Also, feel free to talk about your character's scars.

[ Conner doesn’t have any scars of his own, but he will probably be pretty fascinated/curious if he is able to fixate on someone else’s for a while. ]

[ info in journal. edelgard's most significant scars are a series of old incisions up her inner arms and down her torso, from experimentation performed on her when she was a child. this requires significant cr for her and I'd love to discuss crosscanon but I'd prefer no unfamiliar OCs here. characters ~20+ preferred, Hopes very welcome. ]

[ can be both the kisser and kissed! he has a scar across his eye in canon, but i headcanon he has plenty of those with how he fights in his knightly uniform, with half his chest out and no armor of sorts. ]

( gotta say, our other thread got me enjoying these two fiends. would you be up for something with them? claudia doesn't have scars because of vampire healing, but she can be hurt badly enough that it takes quite awhile for her to heal + her weakness in the sun.

but i can also see her just enjoying memorizing scars wayyy too much.

{OOC: A cyborg agent where half of his body is covered in scars in one way or another. Tends to be nonchalant about any injury he suffers, besides the inconvenience of it. Socially awkward, tries too hard, and wants to be Valued, and questions his own humanity. He's very protective of others though, and knows field first aid should he need to help someone. AUs, OCs, crossovers, I'm up for all of it. Also willing to write the starter!}

[ her soul and mind are fairly scarred but depending on canonpoint she may have a few physical scars or marks (sure, there's being shot and stabbed, but Force Lightning burns can't be fun either), also can play up delayed healing for one reason or another as necessary. she's likely to be genuinely interested in the story behind someone else's scar(s), as well as surprisingly gentle in tending to them. open to either side of things, or mutual affection; also open to smut if the thread heads that direction. canon, cross canon, AUs, OCs, timeline shenanigans are all welcome. ]
