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!

"Well then clealry I'll have to pay more to buy the good aged stuff. I know you wont keep me waitin' but I'll be here waitin' for you as long as it takes. Then we'll spend a week in this bed then maybe talk to our friends." he spoke the words as a promise.

"He was long gone before I was even born, bitch ran off the moment he found out Ma was pregnant. If he couldn't stick by her he's not worth knowin'" His father was a royal asshole too. Doyle was better off without him.

[nott_caine]

"We'll talk to them after a week." She laughed, loving the idea of having a completely private week with Doyle. Time seemed to move much too quickly when she was with him. "Not like I haven't disappeared on Diana before." She shrugged.

"Fathers can be real bastards sometimes. The fact he left your mother is enough to show what kind of man he can be. You're better off."

[dublinbrogue]

"They can survive without us for a week, and if not well theres always the network if either o' us will be up to talkin'." He didn't bother to hide his context. He wanted to give her something to give her hope to keep going to come back to him. "You'll come back to us and we'll all be happy once more."

"Aye, I suppose they can. You know I don't give a shit that he abandoned me. Whatever a lot o' guys don't care to stick 'round and raise the miserable bastards they spawn. Least he could o' done was properly broke if off with Ma, he never told her goodbye, just left in the middle o' the night." He explained running a hand down her side. "I remember bein' small in Dublin and seein' her sitting in the window looking out across the city with this sadness in her eyes. I never understood it till I was much older." He knew his mother missed his father, but he hated the man... demon. "I was, she and my aunt Judy did the best they could to make sure I turned out a decent kind o' guy." He could be a real gentlemen and othertimes the street hustler shined through.

[nott_caine]

"If we can even remember where we put that ear piece." She grinned, feeling as snarky as he was. Even thinking about coming back to him was enough for her to become inappropriate. One of the guys, as always. "I will, I promise I will."

She nodded, "She might have missed him, but I would bet that she loved having you in her life. It probably made it all worth it in the end."

[dublinbrogue]

"I hope we don't" He leaned smiled at the idea. He wanted to leave her with those images and he did so love how easily he could say these things to her and her not get offended. It was just a wonderful feeling to be that comfortable with her, someone he could love and charish and still take out to the bar and have his back in a brawl. "And I promise I'll be here waiting my beloved."

"I never doubted that, but I know I hurt her a lot. " He didn't want to think of how she would have reacted to the news of his death... "Either way she's a grand woman, you'll love her."

[nott_caine]

She cuddled against him, placing her head on his chest as she listened to his heartbeat. "Knowing you are waiting for me, it gives me hope." Nott said, stroking his arm lightly. It had been so long since she felt any sort of comfort and safety in the arms of another. He could bring out her playful side, her rough side and the tenderness in her. He was a perfect match in every way.

"I look forward to meeting her." Even if it was at the cost of Doyle for some time. "This will be the first time in a long while that I meet a mother."

[dublinbrogue]

"Let that hope fuel your journey." He spoke softly running his fingers through her hair. "I'll let you to take my jacket with you want." He normally never let it go but she was too important to him to not offer her something. He loved everything about her and oh how he'd miss her while she was away.

"Incase she thinks your full of shit." He took her hand to move one of her fingers to the tiny scar on his forehead. "Tell her you know where this came from. We lied to everyone for years, hell I still do." He had likely told people in front of her that it was from a bar fight. "I tripped over one of her shoes, when I was six and busted my face on the coffee table. She cried for days thinkin' it was her fault." She'd not be able to deny the woman was important to him to know such a thing. "I never even told HArry that." He thought she'd want to know that tidbit too. "You'll do fine."

[nott_caine]

"I have this," she held up her finger with his ring on it. Suddenly, she sat up and removed a pendant from around her neck. It was a small silver necklace with an emerald at its center. She placed it in his hand, curling his fingers around it. "I was given that by my father when I was a little girl. I haven't been without it since then. I give it to you now, to carry with you."

She kissed his scar gently, tears fell from her eyes again, touched by the revelation and the knowledge that so few knew it. "Thank you." She whispered to him. "Thank you for everything you have given me and the promise of what is to come."

[dublinbrogue]

He held his hand closed with hers moving to kiss her knuckles through the embrace. "I'll wear it till your return so I don't ever lose it." He didn't care if it wasn't a manly look. He'd do it for her he loved her and something that special. "We'll have each other with us till we find one another again."

He reached out with the other hand to brush the year away. "No tears, only happiness." He muttered low "Your welcome, it's the least I can do for the love o' me life."

[nott_caine]

"Love of your life?" She asked him, kissing his palm despite the blood. "I feel the same. You are the love of mine."

[dublinbrogue]

"Aye, the great love o' me life. You get only one o' them. I'd wait a million lifetimes to have ytou back but I'd rather not wait that long so you'll have to hurry back to me. souls like ours should never part."

[nott_caine]

"Anything and everything I can do, I will." She promised him. "You don't get to find your soulmate every day."

[dublinbrogue]

"So, that bein' said don't worry too much, we'll find each other once more." He spoke in a sure tone kissing her forehead. "We'll just lay here until you gotta met Diana, I can't let you leave without sayin' goodbye to her."

[nott_caine]

She shrugged her shoulders. "Saying goodbye to her is something we are used to. In all the years together, we often part ways and find each other again. This is no different." She scoffed, "Watch her turn into the prince's true love."

[dublinbrogue]

"If she does I'm demandin' her make him bring you back for the weddin' so her sister can be there and so I can have you to meself." He spoke in a mischievous tone. "Still I'd feel better if you at least had breakfast or somethin' with her, then you can come back if it's not that long and I'll make sure to send you off right." a playful wink give.

[nott_caine]

"Oh right, breakfast with my sister. I can see us sharing a yummy human between us over a white tablecloth. Family unity there. Nah. It'll likely be something along the lines of 'leaving now', 'see ya.'" Nott snickered. "Well then you will be fortunate. It never takes long."

[dublinbrogue]

"Just don't kill'em and it will be a lovely outting." He chuckled a bit. "You know what I mean Petal, and no rush on it even if it never takes long. Just make sure you see here and I'll wait here for you then we can have a bit o' fun before you go." He'd likely write her a letter and slip it in her bag while she was gone.

[nott_caine]

"I'll miss hearing you call me that." She pounced, rolling him on his back. "I won't. Despite what I say, Diana and I will do things our own way before heading separate directions. I seem to recall checking her car before she left Phoenix."

[dublinbrogue]

"I'll miss calling you that and everythin' 'bout you my love." He whispered placing a kiss on her forehead. "See thats the woman I've come to love and addore, she can be the classiest lady and fix anythin' needin' fixin' with ease. Thank goodness for that god knows I ain't no handyman." City boy was pretty useless with a lot of stuff.

[nott_caine]

"I got lucky," she smirked, enjoying his pleasure at her ability to be one of the guys. It didn't usually win many admirers. "I was around to see cars invented, so it was easy to adapt and learn how they work. Helps a lot when I am driving to a new city alone." She gave him a poke. "I take it that you wouldn't know how to change a flat tire?"

[dublinbrogue]

"Nah, you didn't I did. The luck's mine this time to have you." He spoke with a wink. He loved being playful to her. "See and I came after the classics were startin' to get ugly. I was born in '74 love." He added playfully. "Learned to drive in a mini o' all things." He liked ANgel's car much better. That thing was a beast, despite the fact he'd rammed it into a gate... "Aye, that it would make it easier. And hey I don't gotta know how to do anything like that here. No cars, but I can change a tire and check fluids. Sadly thats pretty much it." He chuckled a bit looking embarrassed "Harry taught me to change breaks though. Her dad was a mechanic."

[nott_caine]

"Well now I know you are flattering me." She laughed, pecking his lips. "Did you learn the old European way? Driving on the wrong side of the road, contending with sheep crossing?" She tilted her head, considering what he told her. "So she was good with cars as well. You really do like this sort of woman."

[dublinbrogue]

"Yep, and when I went to the states I scared the shit out o' people cause Ma forgot to mention that you don't drive on that side." He spoke with a bit of a grin. It was a fun memory. "We came to the states in me late teens I'd already learned to drive a year or two before. Though no sheep crossin's for me. Dublin didn't really had that issue. Same shitty traffic as LA had just different side o' the road."

"She was good at a lot o' stuff, and not always. Just turns out that I favor a woman that can be stronger then most men. I can tell you for certain I doubt Cordelia knows anything 'bout cars or the like." Then again he knew she changed a lot so maybe he was wrong.

[nott_caine]

"I imagine that was quite an experience. Of course, with the right amount of alcohol, we'd be living that memory again. If we had cars here. At least we have the alcohol." She smirked, leaning her head on his shoulder. "I look forward to seeing Dublin...I wish I could be with you when I first see it."

Nott nodded, "I imagine Cordelia was a special circumstance. Though she is strong in her own way."

[dublinbrogue]

"Actually maybe not, I may be a bit o' a speed demon. no pun intended." Okay he's more of a maniac behind the wheel... "but I'm a pretty good driver, more so drunk since I concentrate more. After slammin' Angel's car into a gate and havin' to take her to three chopshops to get her fixed I learned. and Aye, at least we have the liquor." A kiss placed on the top of her head. "I wish I could be there with you too. God knows I miss the sight o' the city but just the image o' you bein' there is more then enough. Stop by the the long hall, you'll love it."

"She is, she didn't take shit from no one and she never played the damsel in distress." He spoke fondly. "ALright, your right I may have a type but I don't have eyes for anyone but you anymore."
