Shipping Meme

[shadowmods]

Welcome to the ToS Shipping Meme! The rules are simple.

1. Post your character/preferences.
2. Reply to other characters with one of the following scenarios
3. Ship it!

Remember, this is just a fun meme so you can ship things that would NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY in game. Yay for no in-character consequences to bad decisions.

SCENARIOS
1. Stupid Cupid Your characters stumble upon a room in the temple that is dedicated to Berkano, which is the rune of love and new beginnings. Think Midsummer Night's Dream. Your characters may be close friends, strangers, or sworn enemies. Whatever the case is, they are now suddenly and inexplicably in complete and total love. They may or may not be aware that this makes no sense, but they can't help themselves.

2. Some Like It Hot Forget love and new beginnings. Your characters have ACTUALLY stumbled upon a room in the temple that is dedicated to Kenaz, the rune of fire, passion, and sex. There's no stopping you, even if you tried. Luckily, the room is prepared for that, and comes equipped with a bed. Whether or not you guys make it that far across the room is another question.

3. I Can Hear The Bells Your characters are getting married. Maybe it's true love, maybe it's to get out of marrying Tristan, maybe you're being forced into it and this ship is a little dub-con, or maybe it's because you accidentally participated in some Nysgod ritual and weren't aware of its implications. Either way, the wedding is about to happen or just has. How do you feel about that?

4. I Don't Want To Go Your character has been determined to NOT be the one for Tristan. Whether or not they like it, they're being sent home. Do they choose to spend it with a close friend, with the one they love? Or maybe, do they decide to finally tell that person they've always had a crush on just how they feel? You only have one night left, what you do with it is up to you.

5. The First Time Your characters are interested in each other and it's time to do something about it. Either the first date, the first kiss, the first I love you....or some other significant first. Whatever it is, it's definitely time to take that step. So who's going to take the initiative?

6. The Morning After Your characters definitely went at it. Maybe it's the first time, maybe they're cheating on someone, maybe it was out of anger. Whatever the case, for some reason, it was significant and you're going to have to talk about it. Good morning, Starshine! The earth says it's time for some cuddling and/or awkward conversation.

7. Potpourri Have another idea? Pregnancy, proposal, accidental body contact, trapped together, caught in the rain, hurt/comfort, etc? Go for it! Make your own scenarios up and run with them.


NOTE: Feel free to throw any mirrors into play if you're interested!

She turned to look at him, eyebrows lifting in a did you really just say that way.

Cordelia debated punching him. It wouldn't really hurt him, sure, but it might feel good to reach out and hit her knuckles to his jaw, hear that satisfying thwack of contact.

But no. No punch. Instead, she laughed.

"I liked the part where you weren't talking so much." And, perhaps to demonstrate what she meant, she leaned over to kiss him good morning.

[dublinbrogue]

He chuckled a bit and followed her on up. The night was looking better already.

[dublinbrogue]

The vanilla was powerful enough to overpower his own natural slightly spicy scent that the vampires all seem to pick up. The blue eyes were almost too wide, and void of anything but adoration.

"Why tempt a perfect thin'." He spoke in the same almost dreamy tone, his arms staying around Flagg. "We could find a god and get it done right now."

[unflagging]

Oh sure, kiss him a while. He could enjoy that. He could definitely enjoy that. And he cupped her face in his hands and smoothed his thumbs over the soft shapes of her cheekbones and the line of her jaw.

And when that first kiss ended, he kissed her--shorter, quicker this time. And once more. And once more.

And he smiled.

"You don't like going to bed with talkative men?"

Because of course he had to.

End scene

[advancedbosoms]

"Don't bring him up," she responded evenly, "Or I'll leave."

Cordelia raised her eyebrows at him, putting on a mask of surprise. She raised herself up on her elbows, drawing away.

"Of course, if you had other things to do, better things to do, I'd be happy to get out of your hair." And because she already knew that he enjoyed leaving a mark, she leaned in close again, drawing her hair away from her neck.

"But I think you forgot to leave a hickey on this side."

[capt_forehead]

Angel smiled nervously. Those damned blue eyes. That color seems to get him in trouble a lot. His forefinger and thumb restart their languid assault on his cuffs. When he finally gets around to noticing the rest of Rory, he nods, though he's not sure at what. Rory cut a nice figure in a suit, Angel couldn't deny.

"You too...Are we really going through with this?"

Honest to god, random Icon gave me that icon.

[capt_forehead]

Angel has been fucking for two hundred and sixty some odd years, if you count his adventures in Ireland as a young man. He was practiced and aside from his night with Buffy, he preferred vampire coupling.

He growls and leans into her, his mouth hot, tongue tracing up her ribs to slip under then over her breast, enveloping her nipple and sucking. Flat teeth nip at her as his pace slowly increases. His thrusts are no less long or deep, but they were harder. Claiming.

[ka_mai]

Of course we'd still be in love! Madly. What, you think I'd stop wanting you just because you get old? Nah. And you're going to be one of those women that ages like wine. Finely. And we'll have naught but time for each other.

[He closes his eyes, savoring every touch, every soft little exhalation.]

Yeh'll nag on me, and I'll piss and moan, but we'll still fuck like wildcats when we're through being red at each other.

[unflagging]

A nervous laugh (nicely acted, if he did say so himself) and a shrug.

"I...think we sort of have to. Don't get me wrong--my feet are like blocks of ice right now, they're so cold, okay?"

[ka_mai]

"You and me both."

Man Jesus, how much had he drank last night? He knew 'a lot' summed it up, but...

It wasn't the first time this had happened. There had been a brief time where getting utterly sloshed and waking up in bed with a fellow had been a somewhat regular occurrence. That had been a long time ago. Now he was a committed man with a woman who - while not his betrothed - had said she'd be willing to marry him. At some point.

And now here he was.

"Lest of course she was watching, she likes that."

[advancedbosoms]

We'd better. I'd get too bored with someone who agreed with everything I said. I'd just end up walking all over them.

[She buries her nose against his throat, rubbing there like some cuddling cat who's trying to get letter.]

I don't ever want to forget this.

No matter what we said we knew could happen, I never thought I'd have to figure out how to say goodbye. I thought...

[unflagging]

Gently, carefully, he put his arms around this newly-confessed paramour and sniffed him--as delicately and subtly as possible. No, things were not typical at present. Generally shotgunning an entire bottle of vanilla extract did not result in such behavior. So something just smelled of vanilla. Another sniff. And probably magic too.

Well. No harm in having a little fun while it lasted.

He caught Doyle around the waist with one arm and stroked his face (ever so gently, a lover's caress) with his other hand.

"But if you love me, and if I love you, and we love one another, what need have we for a wedding? We need only one another, don't we? Doesn't that make us complete enough?"

He'd save some of the really heavy lines for a little later--'Oh moon of my heart's sky' and all of that.

[unflagging]

He opened his mouth to say something and then decided against it. No. Let's play the Quiet Game.

He smiled, held a finger to his lips, then touched that same finger to hers.

Quietly, quietly, even keeping his breath quiet, he kissed her--her mouth, her chin, her throat, down the side of her neck. He tumbled her back over into the ruins of the bed. He kissed her neck one last time and then and only then set his teeth into it.

Gasping would be permitted, as would breathing, but the sound of her voice--no, he'd touch her lips again to remind her. Shh--silence now.

But she was right about his liking to leave a mark (or two or ten or nineteen).

[dublinbrogue]

"How about... we just done tell her." He spoke, thinking she's not a demon like him or a vampire like Angel no way could she smell it... then again he's WAY behind in the Cordy times.

Doyle had been smashed plenty of times and ended up in Angels bed a couple but at worst he only snuggled the vampire and it was something he'd never talk about but waking up stark as the day he was born wound up in the covers with Culbert Allgood actually made him ponder slowing down the drinking.

...just for a second or so.

"Wait." He looked at Bert sitting up his eyes wide. "She what?!"

[ka_mai]

"I can't do that."

Bert shook his head and flopped over onto his back. "We don't keep secrets. I made a vow, and I don't break vows. Mayhap...mayhap I sent her a message about it. S'alright as long as I ask first."

Not that he'd ever actually tested that, but he saw no reason that Cordelia wouldn't honor the very rule she had laid down.

"Huh? Oh, likes watching fellows together. S'how we ended up together, actually." Where were his pants? He wanted a cigarette.

[dublinbrogue]

Doyle in his right mind would never throw his arms around another man and demand marriage but he was clearly far from right mind, the vanilla at least smelled much better then the scotch and smoke he normally smelled like.

He closed his blue eyes at the caress letting his head tip back a bit in the embrace.

"Because, I feel it, its callin' to me. We gotta do it Rory." The name was practically purred. He was very much gone. Opening his eyes once more he looked to the man like he was the purest form of salvation. "A union to save us from Tristan."

[advancedbosoms]

She knew it.

And she did gasp. Moan, writhe, incline her head to offer up her neck to him (really, Cordelia, even an animal would know better than to offer throat access to this man). Her hands curled in his hair, her bare form stretched across the bed.

A monster, yes, and she even knew that much. But that mouth. That eerie way of looking at you, like he knew every secret thought in your head, every perverted desire, every selfish and horrible inclination you'd never voice out loud.

What was that?

[dublinbrogue]

"...Really?" He asked his mind going back to the day he died for a moment, a distant look. 'Secrets are bad' he could hear echo in her voice in his mind.He felt like a jerk for even suggesting it. "Well it's a bit late to ask bud." He replied seeming to snap out of it as he laid back against the bed against his better judgement.

And suddenly that 'wtf' look was back. "She... your fuckin' with me right? The Princess?"

I love when that crap lines up

[nott_caine]

Vampires had long ago been Nott's preferred partners. Life was easier not to get involved with a mortal. Diana's experience proved that point perfectly. All the better if the vampire in question had an underlying danger to him.

Even in their silence, with only the growls and grunts to fill the air, she could sense who and what he was beneath. His beast matched her own in intensity and weight, fueling her forward to fuck him with all the primal instinct she could muster.

Her cries became more desperate, more pleased. Her nails raked down his back, marking and claiming him in her own way.

[ka_mai]

"That's why I hope I already did and can't remember. If'n not..." Well, he'd made a mistake. He could own up to it, when that happened. He found his pants, off to the side of the bed. And his cigarettes.

"And I am not! I was flirting with her, then along came the wizard-in-disguise who I did not know was the wizard. And he started flirting with her. We've been drinking, and I thought I was golden. But she can't decide which one of us she wants to take upstairs, and tells us if we put on a little show, we can both join her." Bert lit up and flopped back into bed.

"So we did. And then she wanted to see it all."

[unflagging]

That, my dear, was magic.

Magic and the fact that if anyone had a perverted desire, he'd likely had the same desire at some time or another, and probably before that other had even begun to think about, say, having him tie her up with her own silk stockings or drag her up onto the roof of a skyscraper and fuck her senseless in the noontime summer sun or make her bleed for her own pleasure and delight. (Or maybe she liked to watch, maybe even liked to watch as a young man was bound and dragged and fucked--for her pleasure and delight. With such soft kisses after, such soft kisses and soft smiles as only a lover might give.)

He was content with his handiwork here, though. For now.

He licked his way up to her ear and then nibbled at that too.

"There. Now you'll match on both sides."

[unflagging]

If Rory Fletcher (and his many aliases) were the purest form of salvation, one must wonder, indeed, if salvation is worth it. No, no salvation here.

"Darling boy, do you think it would work? Would he leave us in peace if we married one another? Or would our vows be meaningless to him when he decides one one of us for himself?"

[dublinbrogue]

And slowly but surely those blue eyes went wider and he didn't respond he just kind of stared off in one direction like he was trying to wrap his mind around that. What what... when did Cordy get so adventurous? Then again he never got to know that side of her in anyway, he had just always assumed she was perfect and pure as snow. Despite knowing she had some kind of jerk of an ex that hurt her.

Yeah he was silent for now. Give him a minute.

[ka_mai]

"The lady's a wild one," Bert confirmed. "It was a hell of a night, I can tell you true!" And it had led to...things Bert hadn't ever imagined for himself.

"You alright there?"
