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!

[nott_caine]

She gave a growl, finally managing to free one of her arms. Turnabout was fair play and Nott's hand dove under the waist of his jeans, grabbing hold of his straining cock, giving it a tug. Her hips rocked forward to meet his fingers, grinning wickedly at this play. They didn't like each other that much, but there was undeniable fire between them.

"Oh really?" She quirked her eyebrow. "Let's see how wicked you can be."

[nott_caine]

Yeah, I'm starting to get that. I think...I can give it a try...

[nott_caine]

She gave him an annoyed expression, "I don't need many people." She huffed out a puff of smoke. "You act like I need friends, I don't. I have survived centuries without anyone except my sister. Friends eventually betray you and cause trouble Maybe you haven't learned that lesson yet. You will."

Nott shook her head, "Last friend I had was great. We went tearing through the world, kicking the ass of hunters and other enemies. We were together for over 30 years. Then, he turns against me. Joins up with my enemy, my daughter hunter. Some friend, right?"

[madame_de_pompadour]

She nodded, giving her approval with her small smile. Tipping her head up, she offered him her lips freely, not afraid of what was now to come. He was her champion after all. More than that, he was her friend and a dear one at that. Kissing him seemed as natural as breathing.

[investigatetime]

[Sarah had heard the door open, and in reality knew she should be startled and be prepared to run or fight, but something else struck her instead: great curiosity and, well, attraction to this other woman.

This was entirely unexpected, but she almost felt like she couldn't take her eyes off her for a moment. It was like being in awe of someone you greatly admire.]

Have you seen these before? These runes?

[Then she realizes no one had been here before, or expected that no one had given everyone was from somewhere else, and she laughs a tiny bit.]

No, that was a silly question, I suppose not.

[madame_de_pompadour]

She took a shaky breath at his words, moved and touched that he would offer them so freely to her. A rare jewel in this place, as precious as the heart that beat within his chest. She knew the verse, having begun to educate herself with the various books in the library.

Gently, she answered back:

"Not of my self;
by some great Maker then,
In goodness and in power praeeminent;
Tell me, how may I know him, how adore,
From whom I have that thus I move and live,
And feel that I am happier then I know"

[somepartsbroken]

"A moment of selfishness here, I didn't say you did. I said these are my thoughts. I generally like to be a social creature and this place is showing me as much as home did that humans are not exactly pliable for the job. They break both physically and mentally with far too much ease." He took a draw off the cigarette in his hand before he rolled his eyes and looked at her. "What kind of kindred would I be if I had not learned that? Having a gun put to your head by a woman you thought felt the same way as you did is kind of a realization that friends are not wise. However insanity is often marked as repeating the same mistakes expecting different results... and that is pretty much what I do."

He was still sore about that, he had loved Maria and for nearly a century he thought she loved him too. One hot night in Georgia changed it all. He had to move to the other side of the country and start all over just because he stupidly opened himself up, to his sires best friend...who convinced him to kill his sire no less.

"...That's fucked up." He spoke giving her a look. "Tell me you killed him."

[dublinbrogue]

[ George Throughgood playing on the jukebox and a bar full of drunks offically cheering Doyle smile and took hold of her hand.]

Ain't much t' dance too but how about a spin around the pool table?

[investigatetime]

Sarah Jane had gotten to know Spike fairly well in these many weeks she had been here, and even though he was rather annoying, blunt, and frustratingly vague at times, she had developed a soft spot for him. But most certainly hadn't expected to be marrying him.

"These rituals are quite strange, huh?" Sarah fumbled at the fabric of her skirt in the doorway to Spike's room. "I mean, I hadn't expected... Well I always had been so busy, you see..." She stumbled over her words, which was very unusual for her.

At least he didn't call her 'old girl'.

Remind me one night on plurk to show you table of Trek.

[somepartsbroken]

[ He couldn't help but chuckle when she tapped him with the wet finger.] Here I figure it would have been warmer after touching your hand not chillier.

It is possible, if my world heads that way. There has been tales for many years of an end of days coming. At least for us kindred. I don't know how much I believe in it but they are pretty convinced.

[ He spun the umbrella above them a moment, not uncovering them just making the water on it fly all directions.]

The Masquerade is the rules we have to live by, like the name implies its much like a masquerade party if your time still has those.... umm. An easy way to explain. [ He smiled then looking down at her.] We pretend we are human still. We are not to let humans know what we are or to make too much of a wave our inner wars even have to been kept in silence so not to alarm the normal people of our exsistance. To break the masquerade is to bring the royalty down on you and certain true death follows to any Kindred who fails to keep up their play.

Here I see no point in it, this place does not allow for secrets such as mine.

[capt_forehead]

His lips curled slightly before he kissed her, gently drawing her against him, wet skirts and all. He lingered sweetly on her lips before pulling back, smiling down at her.

"You're beautiful and a welcome reminder of a man I haven't been for a long time."

[madmaninabox]

Two eyes, two arms, two legs, ten fingers and toes. [He almost tacks on, "That's the right number, isn't it?" or "Didn't get a good look at her ears," but right. No laughing.

They're bringing her back, anyway. All wrapped up in a blanket. He wants to hold her, so badly, but -- he steps back while they move to help Bonnie sit up, prop her up with pillows -- Mum gets first dibs.

He would've let her pick the name. There are so many he could've used, but there's no sense in using their child to memorialize someone he knew -- and probably lost -- a long time ago. She's someone new. She ought to have her own name.]

[blytheandbonnie]

She's perfect.

[This, Bonnie declares after a moment of considering the newborn, after she's been adjusted and presented with the swaddled child.

Sure enough, all the right amount of the right parts, and baldish as she may be, Bonnie's pretty sure those wisps of hair look red.]

I don't care if every parent says it, they're all wrong. She's the most perfect baby in the history of everything ever. [And yes, she is already looking terribly proud of this as she lightly touches the infant nose. The baby sleeps right on, and who can blame her? She's had a lot of excitement.]

[madmaninabox]

'Course she is.

[He approaches again as soon as the staff drifts away, and absolutely beams as he points to her head.]

And ginger! Good old ancient Druids. Well done, genetics.

[blytheandbonnie]

Well, she'll burn right up whenever she goes to the beach, but at least she'll be easy to spot in a crowd.

[And knowing the Doctor and his methods, Bonnie has no doubt that the child will have many, may occasions in her life to get lost.

She'll hand her over soon, just--in a minute. She's still busy marveling.]

We made her. How's that possible?

[And before he can launch into a scientific explanation, she quickly clarifies:] I mean, I know how it's possible but just all of a sudden there's someone right here that didn't exist an hour ago. And there's all that love and hate and anger and sadness that she's going to experience and she hasn't gotten to any of it yet. She's just brand new. A clean slate, you know?

[madame_de_pompadour]

"I admire the man you are," Reinette said to him, gazing up into his eyes. "If he is someone from the past or was someone before you became a vampire, was he ever really lost? I imagine he was simply waiting for the chance to appear once more."

[begin_at_the_end]

Now he stirred, because there had come a voice--in his mind? No, more in his ear. And voice and dream suddenly seemed misaligned, or torn apart, or shattered. The truth of the waking world disagreed with the pleasing lies of sleep. And sometimes there's no way to hold to those lies. Not when waking truly takes hold.

He stirred against her, stroked her hair, opened his eyes...and frowned.

[isthistheregion]

It was as if they were speaking with one mind, or both native speakers of some new language who had never met before in their lives. She had understood the meaning behind his words and had responded in kind. His heart soared.

"Heaven's last best gift, my ever new delight." Finally he touched her face, the pad of his thumb brushing against her cheekbone. How could he express what she meant, what this moment meant to him except in poetry?

"I am lost for words. I am amazed." He spoke tremulously, now, in his own words. "If I did not know myself to be awake, I would insist that I were dreaming."

[ex_steadycourse703]

[The feeling, if it could be described as such, was mutual.

Sulu took a step further into the room, compelled to be just a little closer to this newfound stranger that made her head feel the slightest bit dizzy. She is carrying a basket, what had originally been a search for plants to bring back to her room ended here, and there is an assortment of flowers in the basket. Sulu fishes one of them out, even as she shakes her head.] No, I'm not a linguist I'm afraid, I really can't place these runes.

[The fact didn't bother her at all, it's secondary to her impulse to offer the other woman the solitary flower that she'd picked from her collection.] Here, I.. want you to have this.

i will :)

[ex_steadycourse703]

Your skin just wasn't expecting it. [Sulu's good humor is a nearly universal thing. Especially when her responsibilities are light.]

Oh, I see. [In some ways it reminded her of the prime directive. Control of access to information for the benefit of those left out of the loop.] ..I think you're right about a place like this having it's own set of rules though. Technically, I should have cleared it with Jane, to see how much we can go around telling people about Starfleet. In our universe, we have code of conduct to follow.

[And then she laughs at the twist of the umbrella, amused and pleased.] ..now I feel like jumping into the puddles, I haven't done that since I was a kid.

[madame_de_pompadour]

She grinned, giggling at the excitement that filled her heart. To be in love so deeply and fully, it was bliss. This temple seemed brighter and happier, so much more of a home now that he was here. If she felt lost or alone, all she need do was gaze into his eyes and peace would be found. "I find myself feeling the same," Reinette whispered, caressing his cheeks, wrapping her arms about him. "This day...I did not wake and feel that something so important would happen. It has though and I am so glad of it. I love you."

[freebitchbaby]

"The more you talk the harder it is to concentrate on the titles, okay? D'you mind saving the nasty for like a minutes time? I've, like, almost got it anyway." Gaila replied with an impressive roll of her eyes. "If you distract me, it'll only take longer." She had spotted the book that she wanted but she was having far more fun irritating him now. Gaila couldn't help but wonder quite how long she could keep this up before he dumped her on her ass.

[freedomfound]

He certainly was an interesting kinda guy, wasn't he? A little weird, yeah, but Seth hardly saw that as a negative.

"I sure can't think of any." She followed his movements easily, light and agile on her feet. Gosh, it had been forever since Seth had danced with anyone... When was the last time? She couldn't remember... Maybe because it had been so long ago. Maybe because all of her memories were fuzzy these days.

[shewhokills]

Aileen smiled in spite of the frown, lifting her eyes just enough to watch him. She didn't let go in the least.

"Sleep well?" She could ignore the frown. It wasn't unusual, and it didn't surprise her in the least.

That's random icon BTW if you know of the old Angel Fanfic sight.

[capt_forehead]

Angel was very grateful that he hadn't gotten around to his belt yet, chuckling darkly in her ear as he pushes into her hand. He dips a teasing finger into her, flat teeth biting at the back of her neck.

"Doyle's lucky to have a woman like you in his bed. Hot." He clicked his teeth sharply in her ear, a full finger slipping inside her as he moves in her hand again.
