Shipping Meme

[somepartsbroken]

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!

[ It wasn't often people let him play the charming gentlemen as he so loved to do. He smiled at her when she took his arm walking at her side.]

I would very much love to know the ideas of Starfleet, I only know the bits that Jane and Spock have offered to me and that still leaves holes in the story. I do know that Spock is from as many years in the future from where I am, as I am old. Two Hundred and forty nine years in my future. I am endlessly curious.

[ Why? he doesn't expect to live that much longer.]

It does actually, it's a bit odd. The flowers and rain are so much like home. Yet I know they are not. And don't let a soul tell you insanity is bad. Its freedom.

[rumchocolatesouffle]

"Do I look like an overly hairy man?" Kurt jokes with him. He was quite... hairless in most areas after all. "But fine no Bee Gees." Though that had been included in their showcase of the era.

Kurt laughs and enjoys their dancing some more. "You're a great friend, you know that? Not everyone would think to give a gift like this."

[ka_mai]

"Aye. I think it's safe to say there was much drinking. I hope there was much drinking. Man Jesus, this is near as bad as...well, never mind what. Sometimes this place drives me mad. Literally and metaphorically." He laid there a moment, taking full stock of himself. It wasn't as though he couldn't at least rule some things out.

"In good news, my ass isn't sore."

If absolutely nothing else was certain, he was certain he hadn't actually fucked his dinh.

[somepartsbroken]

"No I think your a little worse off then I." Though Dorian had daily stubble, his chair hair was much lighter then anything else. It was odd but almost blond and barely noticeable. Everything else was dark. "Good, then I will try. Besides I must confess there is beauty in the music of Juice Newton and Crystal Gayle."

"Not everyone has learned to stop fighting the urges most would call insane. I am free of those bounds."

[ka_mai]

"Sommat like that, mayhap." Bert returned the kiss, allowing his hand to move to the fastenings of Kurt's jeans. He spoke between kisses, never able to stay quiet, even at bedroom play.

"There's cultures that brought sex and worship together. Sowing and Spring Rites and Reaping, back in my world, they all used to be about sex." His deft fingers opened the button of Kurt's jeans. "Back in the old days, when it was all bonfires and oiled, naked bodies writhing under a swollen moon."

[ex_steadycourse703]

If you get me started, I might never stop talking. [The warning was infused with a goodly amount of teasing as well. While it was true, Sulu could converse a night away with the best of them. Endless chatter wasn't a skill she'd honed either.]

Starfleet is.. it's about striving to be the best version of yourself. It can be hard to live up to those standards sometimes, but exploration and peace, respecting others, cooperation in the face of challenges. Those are what we try to epitomize. [Generally speaking. There were some obvious exceptions.]

I don't know. Being out of my own control sounds like a terrifying thing.

7 - teasing

[freebitchbaby]

It was a well known fact that Gaila liked to walk around wearing next to nothing at the best of times. Even then that was only ever normally when people complained enough that she was forced to put them on to keep them quiet. She was also an incredibly tactile person, a common trait of her species, and was forever hugging and brushing people. It was as if she didn't even notice the effect she had on other people sometimes.

She did of course, but there was a carefully perfected art to her act of pretending not to be aware.

"Watch out." Was the only warning that Rush would get before getting a faceful of ample green cleavage in his face as he was all but straddled as Gaila attempted to reach a book from the bookcase behind his couch. It was plain daylight and any one of the other candidates could have come wandering in and seen them in what was rather less than a virtuous pose. Her skirt, if the strip of fabric could be awarded that name rode high up on her thighs and the v cut in her vest was so deep that it was more than easy to see her bra.

[begin_at_the_end]

"I feel like there was much drinking."

And he did, really, with all the dull aches and soreness and displeasure that comes with it.

Near as bad as what, though?, he wondered. Some other ordeal, some other foolishness that would inevitably befall Bert--and only Bert. But the foolishness that befell him was sometimes a bit too much like a fire, and those nearby would sometimes end up scorched too. This might be one of those times.

"All right."

Because what else was there to say? There was no chance in heaven, hell, or this place that anything could have passed between them. Appearances are deceiving. And he'd rather like to try to sleep a little longer.

[waspromisedcake]

She nodded eagerly, quickly setting the bouquet down on her dresser. She'd find an extra glass later, since she wasn't putting it into her drinking glass. That'd just be silly.

"Let's go."

[hookedonguyliner]

It was a bit of both. If he was keeping track (but he would never do such a thing, no, never), then this was their third encounter. This time he was determined to speak to her.

"It seems providence has plans for you and I, my lady. We must be destined to know one another."

[somepartsbroken]

I have nothing but time. I do not mind hearing everything you feel like sharing. [ He replied in a confident tone. He liked to hear about peoples lives. It was like reading stories that he had more interest in.]

Ahh, like futuristic explorers? I can understand that. I must ask, you do not enslave species you find do you?

It used to terrify me in my days before I was embraced. I worked hard to always be prim and proper. Then in time I realized there is no fear in simply going forth and doing what you wish. There is no second guessing.

[rumchocolatesouffle]

Now there was a mental image for him.

He thought he might go crazy with anticipation as his jeans were opened. The other man's touch was so close. He wasn't sure if he could breathe. He tried to focus a bit more on this picture Bert was painting with his eloquent words. He looks up into Bert's eyes with almost a fevered look.

[to_this_end]

Oh dear god.

Rush sighed heavily as suddenly, once more, he had a lap full of alien dancer. He averted his eyes - though it was a difficult maneuver, considering her breasts were filling the scope of his vision at the moment. And pleasant as the view was aesthetically, he really wasn't in the mood.

He remembered well what had happened the last time she'd climbed into his lap.

"I would have moved for you."

[hookedonguyliner]

Hook didn't know his runes, so each room was still a mystery to him even if it had a rune carved into the wood. He entered and looked around, thinking that looked like a perfect bed to have a romp in. Now he just had to find a lady to oblige him.

The bump to his back caused him to turn around, slightly alarmed he'd been snuck up on. At least the woman seemed harmless and not to be a master assassin sent here to end him.

When she tugged at the door, he went from alarmed to amused in an instant. Maybe this was a wishing room where dreams came true.

"There is no need for apology, my lady. But would you not care to stay awhile?"

[gruesome]

Some could feel the watching as he let himself down off of a low-hanging branch, but it was a pleasant feeling. He wasn't alone.

"I don't bite," he said lightly, facing the water instead of the trees.

[ka_mai]

"Oh aye," he went on, slowly dragging down Kurt's zipper. He could feel the heat and swell of flesh beneath. "They'd fuck in the spring soil all the night, to bless the land while the fires burnt down. A celebration of life and flesh and heat." His hand slipped inside the younger man's jeans, stroking his cock gently but firmly in rhythm with the cadence of his words.

"The night was given to wild lust and untamed passion."

[ex_steadycourse703]

We are also a military branch, subject to Federation interests, but it's a voluntary coalition of planets, we don't seek to grow our territory outward. Slavery was abolished as a human practice many years ago, from my time. [Sulu tilts her head and thinks for a moment. Because it's true that not everything is the utopia that she describes.]

There are some cultures that engage in slave trade, but Federation policy requires a ceasing of the practice before the people can be inducted in. Not everyone chooses to join the Federation, as you might guess.

[Coming from a point of history, she's curious to know his opinion on slavery as well. The concept that he might willingly embrace insanity is something that she doesn't know what to do with, just yet.] ...you've been through a lot in your lifetime. Haven't you?

[rumchocolatesouffle]

Kurt was lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you looked at it) to not lose it as soon as Bert touched him. Instead Bert gets a soft groan of relief and pleasure.

"D-did you participate?" Kurt stammers out. The story was erotic to say the least.

[ka_mai]

Bert had to laugh.

"Nah, this was hundreds of years a'fore I was born. We still had the fires and we danced, aye, but with our clothes on, and we spilled wine instead of our seed. Civilization washes the sex out of religion." He tugged Kurt's denims down, to give him better access. He enjoyed this sort of sex - friendly and relaxed. And it had been a long time since he'd touched a man, at least as far as he was concerned. It was good. He could never imagine a life without a woman's touch, but he did enjoy the feel of a man.

[freebitchbaby]

"Too late now."

It wasn't really but Gaila had made her choice now and she was sticking to it. She leant forward toward Rush, one hand either side of his shoulders on the sofa which created a convenient scientist trap. She took her sweet time, frowning at the titles and occasionally silently sounding out the titles with harder words. Nope. That wasn't what she wanted.

[somepartsbroken]

I remember when the emancipation proclamation was announced. I was in south Georgia at the time. People were very cross, but it was a good thing, people needed their freedom. All men are created equal was not limited to race or gender. I firmly believe the congress that wrote that bill used men in the biblical sense as in the whole of the human race... and I am now rambling. However what i meant to say is I am glad to know such practices have not come back.

[ Dorian however likes to picture it as just what she described.]

Understandable, not everyone is open minded as they should be.

You could say that, I have mostly just watched the world move forward. [ he offered her a smile then.] I was fifteen years old when the Revolution broke out, if that gives you an idea of it all.

[to_this_end]

"Gaila, please."

He couldn't even see his own book! And he couldn't breathe without feeling the warmth of it scatter over the surface of her breasts. He supposed he really shouldn't be considering an attractive woman - who was, he was forced to remind himself, actually a lover - thrusting her charms at him to be an annoyance, but there it was. And really, they'd had one awkward fling. That hardly gave her license to treat him as a climbing implement.

"Get off?"

[ex_steadycourse703]

"Destiny and I have an understanding."

She didn't run away this time. You had to face a challenge head on, if you didn't, it would just continue to spite you. So, Sulu sized him up without shame. It wasn't a crass observation, it was just a general curiosity. (but oh, he was so worth looking at)

"I work for what I want, and I'll get it." So far, that principle had held true.

"But I haven't made up my mind about you, yet."

[ex_steadycourse703]

[In turn, Sulu is fascinated by the insight into things he can give her. There is so much detail in a year, she could never hope to remember them all. Even when the Academy had offered classes in classic history.]

A lot of the original charter of the Federation was influenced by the US constitution, actually. We the beings of Earth, Proxima Centauri, Vulcan, Andoria, and Tellar are resolved that henceforth our relations shall be those of worlds which, as sovereign equals, cooperate in friendly association to promote their common welfare... for we have agreed that our worlds hold these truths to be self evident that all species are created equal...

[The words were memorized with an obvious sense of pride, even though Sulu ducks her head sheepishly when she trails off. and who's mun has a federation history book] ..sort of, I'm better at fleet history than other kinds though.

[somepartsbroken]

The smartass in Dorian wanted to reply with he did, yet he couldn't say a word. For once since he had arrived in the temple he was silenced. He slowly stepped around the tree, crossing his arms over his chest in an unsure manner.

He wasn't at all certain of what to say, but if he could still blush he was certain he would be.
