@berthindeath || kissing your lover just above their waistband.|| KISS MEMES || Accepting
Pressing Gwen into the door as he closes it, Emmrich cannot help himself as he leans down and catches her mouth with his. The kiss is a heady, drugging thing, his tongue begging entry to the seam of her lips, as his fingers cup her chin and tilt it up to control the angle of the kiss. His other hand finds the small of her back and pulls her up and onto her toes so that she must wrap her arms around his shoulders, must lean on him at least slightly to have any sort of stability.
An underhanded trick, perhaps, but well worth it as his hand creeps beneath her tunic to the silken skin of her waist, as the taste of her kiss floods his senses and drives the desire for her higher and higher still.
Her lips part to him, and Emmrich groans as he twines his to hers, feeling as though flames are licking at his spine. His grip on her waist tightens, and the small, shivery sound that she makes into his mouth is- ambrosia. He cannot get enough of her. In truth, he could kiss her forever, but that- is not actually what he wants, tonight. For just a moment, his kiss turns nearly bruising, stealing the breath from her lungs-
And then Emmrich eases off, pulling back. Gwen makes a strangled sound of protest, and he hums a gentle noise. "Patience, beloved," he says softly, pressing a soft kiss to where her pulse hammers in her throat- then to the base of her neck, as the hand that had been on her chin slides down, slowly undoing the buttons and belts of her tunic.
Slowly, Emmrich kisses each revealed patch of skin, and he knows the moment Gwen realizes his intent when he presses a kiss to the curve of her breast yet still doesn't linger. His tongue flicks against the sensitive skin of her ribcage, before he kisses the softness of her belly and feels her seize a sharp inhale.
The necromancer sinks to his knees before his beloved, pressing a more biting kiss to the edge of her hipbone, and looks up at her through his lashes, nearly swooning himself at the look in her lilac eyes, at the gorgeous flush that has painted across her cheeks and down her throat. "You," he whispers softly, "Are the most exquisite of beauties, my love. And I have been longing to do this all damned day." He nips at the skin of her hip once more, and watches Gwen's pupils blow, swallowing the purple entirely.
Slowly, he sets his fingers to the laces of her pants, not removing his mouth from her skin for even a moment, as his desire for her beats in his head like his heartbeat, and his blood burns for her. Slowly, achingly slowly, he slides her breeches down the softness of her thighs. Emmrich cannot resist but to mouth lightly at the soft skin where thigh and hip meet, closing his eyes, and running his hands slowly back up the backs of her thighs once he's pulled her pants down entirely, boots with them. Cupping the curve of her bottom, he toys with the hem of her smallclothes- and nips sharp enough at that silken skin of her thigh to leave a red mark, eyes opening again to meet hers, still locked upon him.
"Indulge me, beloved?" He drags those fingers, then against the heat of her core, dragging them back and forth and then circling the apex of her pleasure through the soft fabric- not hard enough, just enough to tease. Just enough to spike her need for him higher, until she's burning for him just the same.
"Right here. Against the door- let me be what holds you up." Slowly now, he guides the smalls off the same as he had her breeches- feels her tangle one hand into his hair and hums in approval, leaning into the slight sting.
He guides one thigh up and over his shoulder, and then presses in closer to drag his tongue against that which his fingers had just teased- too eager now to wait for her to find her voice, when her fingers pull him right to where she wants him.
Right where he wants to be.

Her small hands cradle a dove with a broken wing, lilac hues welling with tears as she rushes into the house from the garden. “Papa!” She calls tearfully as she comes tearing around a corner into his study. Raven hair hangs in messy curls, strands sticking to her cherubic cheeks as she looks up at the towering frame of her father. “Papa—it’s hurt.” Taissa remarks painfully, the white bird cooing quietly as the child’s thumbs slowly stroke it. “We have to help it.”
The commotion at first has Emmrich jolting from his desk, heart pounding in his throat. He cannot help but to immediately imagine the worst- such as Taissa being injured, such as some sort of- demon or attack, and a hand unconsciously reaches towards the staff on the wall- until he sees Taissa come racing into the study.
Quickly, Emmrich moves to her and drops to one knee, hands hovering- but it is not his daughter who is injured, thank the stars. It is the little dove she has somehow found- and Emmrich feels his heart turn over in his chest. She has her mother's heroic heart, his little girl, and he takes a shaking breath- half relief, as he steels himself. Gentle hands brush dark curls out of Taissa's face, and he looks down at the little bird, compassion and concern in his features. It is indeed quite wounded, though it holds itself remarkably still and brave in his daughter's gentle hands.
"We certainly do, my heart," he says, quietly, stroking a gentle fingertip against the bird's head. "I am so glad you found the poor creature. Come, let us find it somewhere comfortable to rest, and together we will set about fixing this poor wing, hm?"
How lucky he is indeed, to have somehow been blessed enough for this little soul to be his future. Gwen, he thinks warmly, will indeed love to hear of today's adventures when she returns home.

"That sounds a lovely day, darling," Emmrich says, fondly enthused, and means every word. He is- glad, beyond glad, that she has been finding ways to take time for herself to breathe alongside the rest of their companions, or alongside the Inquisitor more often. She has been working herself harder than anyone that he has ever known- and that's a judgement he feels perfectly sound in making.
He's... Grateful. To Inquisitor Lavellan, for how intent she's been on trying to protect Gwendolyn's personhood and wellbeing. And grateful that the Lighthouse had seen fit to grant the elvhen woman her own space here, so that she and Gwen can convene as much as they do- and so that he and Regin can discuss and strategize about the... Other matter, of Solas and Gwen's connection.
But he banishes that from his thoughts for the moment at least- wanting, achingly, to just... Be in the moment with her. She's right. They need to do their best not to only speak of or think of work, whenever they can.
The distraction is- worrisome. "There have been- but you yourself, my love, asked not to speak of work," he reminds, pressing a soft kiss to her temple. It's not either of their faults, really, when work- their work- is so desperately dire. When there's so much riding on the outcome of their work. But the very least that he could do for her Is there anything, perhaps, that you'd like to do specifically for our evening? We could perhaps commandeer the kitchen from Lucanis- I've acquired a lovely wine-sauce recipe for pasta, that I was hoping to try with you-"
But then she's wincing- and Emmrich curses the Dread Wolf a dozen times, as he lifts a hand to her temple, cooling magic pulsing gently to try and ease the ache of the blood magic he cannot undo, matching only to the pain in his heart that he cannot- protect her from this magic. From this pain. Truly, whilst Emmrich feels compassion for the once-Wisdom spirit... Moments like this, that compassion is hard to reach. He will have to reach out to Regin again- see if perhaps they can try and pursue a solution to this from yet another angle....
But that isn't important right now either, ultimately. Not in the moment. It can wait till the morning- Gwen and her wellbeing cannot. "- Perhaps, my love," he says softer, "We should have a quiet night in. Just- the two of us and soft lights. I could make us dinner to share in bed, even, if you were so inclined. Read to you, if your head is aching so. You-" he nearly bites through his tongue, anger and heartache. "You must rest that lovely mind and heart of yours."
The light pressure of his forehead against her own has a relieved sigh escaping her. She doesn't judge him for it, she isn't much better than he is, in truth. Often�� caught needing to be productive or else she'll fear they've gotten complacent, that they might miss something and it could throw their entire operation into a tailspin. But Regin had reminded her to stop and take stock sometimes, that it was something she wished she'd done more during the days of the Inquisition. And with the benefit of having even a fraction of free time, sometimes it's best to not overburden oneself with work, lest they forget who they are in the process.
She's trying.
Gwendolyn easily presses into his chest at his insistence, a light chuckle leaving her as she feels the warmth of his kiss against her skin. Lords, she could stay like this with him forever if she could.
" Mmm, a quieter day, thankfully. " She speaks softly as her hands move to roam over the front of his vest, adjusting it somewhat but mostly using it as an excuse to feel him. " Went out into the forest with Davrin and Assan to help him forage. Spoke with Strife and Irelin for a time regarding the state of things. " She murmurs softly, but she's clearly distracted.
In retrospect, she hasn't done much today, so why does she feel as tired as she does? Her left eye twitches slightly, a sigh leaving her lips before she tilts her head back so that she could gaze up at Emmrich, her hands slipping around his sides beneath his arms so that she could grasp at his shoulder blades. " And you? Have I missed any new developments here while I was gone? "
But she hisses almost immediately after the words leave her lips, a sharp pain digging behind her eyes and into her temples. A hand falls from him to press the heel of it into her temple, trying to alleviate the pain with pressure as her other hand scratches into the soft fabric of his shirt. Maybe she's pushing herself too hard after all.

She puts on a good show; but Gwendolyn Ingellvar, at this point in her life, could not be unnassuming or non-threatening even if she put the whole of her heart and soul into it, Emmrich fears. There's too much anger and pain in her, a miasma of it that he can very nearly see cloaking her. It aches in his heart in the worst of ways, and he-
He cannot help but to feel responsible. Cannot help but to know he is responsible, at least in part, for what she's suffered to bring her to this point. This, perhaps, is one of the greatest of his failures, in the whole of his life.
He cannot give up on her, large in part because of that. He won't.
"I would not 'have you believe' anything that is not true, Gwendolyn," he says, agonized. "I will not do you the indignity of lying to you or trying to trick you. I have too much respect for you to do so. Please, this need not end in blood. Just- release her, and let us-" He flinches slightly as she throws the woman to the ground, but takes another cautious step towards her anyways, unable to quite stop himself.
And Manfred, moving with him, makes a wary but pleased hiss, slowly waving his skeletal fingers at the woman across from him and Emmrich. Emmrich's heart is a hummingbird within his throat, and he steps carefully to the side, laying his hands gently atop Manfred's shoulders to keep him close, but to allow him to step forward, into the light so that Gwendolyn can see him.
"- Yes. Curiosity. He chose- each and every one of the bones for this body, and has elected to go by the name 'Manfred," Emmrich says, voice tight and aching with emotion. "He was- a close friend of yours, as I recall. He has been- a very dear friend to me, as I attempt to teach him to navigate the physical world. But he has never forgotten you." Another cautiously pleased little hiss, and Manfred waves to her again- more eagerly, this time, as though hoping it will make her respond in kind.
He hated to let Manfred put himself into such a tense and fraught situation, but there is little else either of them can think of to try and get through to her- and it had been Manfred's own idea. If Emmrich doesn't let the little spirit try things that are important to him, it will only hurt him, in the end.
And he had once followed Gwen around the Necropolis as loyally as a hound, as the little blue and silver wisp he'd been for so long. His jeweled eyes glow that same blue, as he watches Gwen, head tilting to one side. "He wished- to come to see you."
The truth. Entirely. For Manfred shares Emmrich's fierce hope to- save her from herself, and from those leading her deeper into the dark.
Hands raised in mocking peace, trying to appear nonthreatening when she's not naive. Emmrich Volkarin is no simple mage; a man of renown within their his order. Unparalleled abilities that had staff and student body alike buzzing with his skill and charm. Charm that had once captivated her on more than one occasion but no more than that fateful night.
She could still smell his aftershave on his skin, the warmth of his voice as he spoke to her to keep her conscious. How he'd cradled her in his arms with his cloak wrapped around her to fight the chill and also preserve what little dignity she had left. Her body riddled in shallow and deep cuts that seemed to ooze endlessly no matter what he did. A cloak that's tucked away in a trunk back at the compound.
Sentimentality. Something she needs to rid herself of. She cannot afford to lose sight of things, not now. Not because he's finally decided to show up.
" Oh, pardon me. " She muses bitterly, reaching up to drag her hand across the captive woman's mouth, sealing it shut so she would stop her aggravating whining. They haven't much further to go and once she's dealt with this little road block, they could be on their way.
But then, the words coming from the necromancer's mouth has her mouth twitching.
Until she's breaking into a throaty laugh.
" You would have me believe you, wouldn't you? " She giggles painfully as she throws the woman to her hands and knees, the chain still firm in her grip but relaxed enough in knowing that Emmrich won't attack her yet. " The dying, bleeding girl you found that night is dead, Volkarin, you and your colleagues made sure of that. "
But when her eyes slide to the skeleton that peeks out from behind the professor she is frozen. The lilac aura that surrounds it, the inherent understanding that a curiosity spirit is housed within the bone construct—but there lives a familiarity in her heart that she had not been anticipating.
Thoughts of soft grass beneath bare feet, fingers tangling in blue creep vine as the wisp bounces against the crown of her head. Her laughter echoing like a dream.
It couldn't be. But it pulls from her lungs all the same before she can stop it,
"...Curiosity? "

"Oh, love," he sighs, squeezing her just a bit closer and pressing a soft kiss to her hair, unable to help himself. Truly, it's not her fault. The fact that it hasn't been blatantly discovered by the other nations up until this point is no small miracle- but it's only a matter of time.
The ruling powers of Nevarra truly need to come up with a plan for the fallout of this, because the Chantry declaring an Exalted March against Nevarra for having an undead ruler- it's not an unfathomable response from them, if he's to be honest, and something he knows many of the mages of Nevarra are aware could be building in the distance.
No, this isn't Gwen's fault at all. This just- isn't sustainable.
"... Unfortunately, that is indeed what I am suggesting," he says, as much as he's loathe to actually put it to words. "Do you have a better idea?" Meant genuinely; not in challenge or reproach. If anyone were to have a good way to charm the Talons into not... divulging or acting upon that which they might have finally confirmed for themselves through Gwen's slip... Well, it's Gwen herself. "Because unfortunately, I do believe that's the only plan I have. Do you think that perhaps you could convince this to be kept quiet some other way, darling?"
Lilac hues look on at him with a growing distress, seeing the way he pinches his nose and looks just as she pictured he would. But it's when he admits his disappointment that her face almost crumbles completely. It was worse than anger, in her opinion, but she reaches as he stands to his feet and moves to take her into his arms.
That is comforting, at least.
" I'm sorry, dragul meu. " She mutters, unable to stop herself from weaving her arms around his slender frame, tucking her head against his shoulder as he offers what could potentially be a solution. At the rate she's going, it's currently only rumor and nothing more. She's not definitively said King Markus is undead, simply validated a widely spread rumor that has been uttered in the streets of Nevarra City long before reaching the shores elsewhere. She cannot confirm her own or anyone's suspicions.
But when he suggests a trade, she can't help the way her face scrunches a bit, considering it for a moment with a lifted brow. " What are you suggesting, we bribe a talon? "

I'm sorry that I haven't been here super often and that I've been slow on replies and inbox the past 2 weeks. I'll try and be here more this weekend- I just got out of the hospital late last night (3.6.2025) after a major health scare and I've just got... Limited energy and honestly more inspiration for my ocs right now.
I did recently update my rules so PLEASE check the 'readmore' section in my pinned. I will be around sunday and monday, hopefully.
love yall dearly, i promise to devote the time that my necromancer beloved deserves soon.

Her heart stops as she watches him hit the ground, the venatori rogue yanking their scythe free from her love’s side. It has her choking on air as she can’t find it in herself to say anything much less scream. Her fist slams shut, eyes unblinkingly wide as her magic seizes the enemy in place, body contorting with her magic as she siphons their life force in a steady stream.
“No—“ she shivers out finally, her boots slamming into the ground as she rushes toward Emmrich lying there, blood pouring from his flank as she slams her palm right over the wound. She knows it hurts, but she immediately begins using the venatori scum’s life to amplify her healing spell—inverting it as she uses herself as a conduit. She’s trembling, silent tears slipping from lilac hues as she stares at her love, shaking her head.
“No, you don’t get to die.” She whimpers as the dying rogue pales, falls to their knees as the light from their eyes dull and goes out, body turning to dust as it hits the earth. || @berthindeath || send 'no, you don't get to die' for your muse to find my muse covered in blood || PLEASE SEND MORE OF THESE GOOD LORD
He hadn't seen the blow coming. He's usually so much more careful, so much more aware on the field, but this day has been - worse for some reason, the cultists better organized, better trained.
Or perhaps better puppeted. He hasn't been able to determine which it is- and at the strange, sick rush as the blade slides into him, Emmrich loses his breath on a strangled gasp, staggering to the side. His barrier, even, had been sliced through like a hot knife through butter- and he stares down at the blade sticking out of himself with a distant sort of shock. There is a jolt of pure agony as the curved blade is pulled free- and Emmrich is the one to drop as though his strings have been cut, blood bubbling on his lips.
He strangles, it feels- he cannot draw in a true breath, cannot force his lungs to work. His eyes roll- slide closed for a moment before he forces them open- and they lock on Gwen. The pain and panic in her face- the sheer terror. Clumsily, one of his hands seeks hers, grasping with a force he hadn't expected himself to have, even as his vision blurs and blackens.
He cannot do this to her. He cannot- abandon Gwen. Not again. Not like this.
For a moment there, he is dying.
But then the life force of the Venatori slams into his own like a psychic battering ram- driving his consciousness away from the inviting darkness. He gasp a frantic, desperate breath- then sucks in another, greedy for the oxygen, desperate for it. The wound begins to seal and knit- as does his lung within his body.
He surges upright, coughing and wiping blood off of his mouth- and hauls Gwen against his chest, his own magic twisting through the veil as he focuses on the hand holding hers, and funneling his own healing magic through her and into himself alongside her- sealing a slice on her cheek as he holds her to himself.
"I'm- I'm alright. I'm sorry, beloved, I'm alright. You have me. You have me. I'm n-not... I'm going nowhere." His own terror is an inky blackness lurking at the back of his throat. He had never in his life come so close to his own end.
Never.
But he holds her to him, and strokes her hair, pressing a kiss clumsily to the side of her head- glad that he stains her skin with none of his blood, by some mercy. The hand over hers atop the sealed wound squeezes, trembling like a leaf in a hurricane.
"You have me. You saved me. I will not leave you."

KISS & TELL: wiping away your lover’s tears as you kiss them. (grcvewctcher)
Her eyes are tear worn, exhausted as they land on his back facing her in an arching window. She slips into the bedroom of the unfamiliar home, steps still uncertain in their path but her destination was always the same.
She'd insisted they come here, to his home in the city, after everything that's happened. He deserved to feel safe in a familiar place, no matter how much the Lighthouse has become a second home. What he feels now, it should be here. With a heavy decision made, and what lies ahead for them tomorrow, a familiar bed is needed. Should he find rest, that is.
It's too quiet. A light, gone.
Her hands slowly find him so as not to startle him with her touch, sweeping down the length of his back before she is encircling her arms around him from behind. She looks up at him with a twisted brow as she sees him slowly turn his head toward her as far as he could muster. She can see his hair is loose, hanging over his forehead as his own reddened gaze finds her as he's hanging on by a thread.
And she breaks.
" It's okay, " She barely manages, hardly a shred above a whisper as she watches him crumble. He, who has been a font of her strength for months, now twists in her embrace to seek her comfort. Tears flood and break onto her cheeks the moment he sinks to his knees before her, an aching sob leaving him as his face buries into the satin of her night dress. She whimpers softly as Emmrich pulls her in close until she is all but in his lap, his face in her chest so that he might have her beating heart close. Her fingers are slipping through his hair, feeling the quake of his shoulders as he gives into his turmoil.
He'd chosen to renounce his claim to lichdom for the sake of his ward, who had thrown himself into danger to protect them. For a chance to bring him back to them, to bring him home. There is no promise of success, no matter how powerful the mage who performs the rite. Manfred has to desire return, to hear his call. The worry lives in both of them now as they wait on the edge of that precipice of doubt. But hope, by the lords, hope has to drive them forward. For Manfred's sake.
" Dragul meu, " She sniffles as she gently draws his head up to face her, lilac meeting the forest moss of his eyes, tears unrepentantly flowing as her delicate touch slowly begins to sweep them away. " Ne vom aduce băiatul acasă. " She vows as she presses their foreheads together.
Emmrich nods once as his chin trembles, his hands shaking as he reaches to grasp at her upper arms, stroking the soft bare skin of them. It feels as though he is trying to make sure she's present, that he is anchored in this grief with her. " Știu. " He rasps out, his voice still unsteady.
Her thumbs swipe beneath his eyes as she tries to ease him, feeling him draw her closer. Then their lips are touching in a soft press that Gwendolyn does not push, but he does as his hands slip to grasp at her sides. He is chasing her comfort as he deepens the kiss, a silent plea to her to take his mind away from the gnawing fear. She meets it, soft palms framing his face within them as she kisses him back with she has.
Soon she slowly eases their embrace to a slow pass, her lips slipping to press at the height of his cheek, then to his temple until she's guiding him to lean his head against her chest. Her heart beats steadily against his ear as his long arms weave to encase her protectively within them. She wraps him up against her as her hand lifts to cradle the back of his head, scratching into his thick hair as her lips find the crown.
She would remain here as long as he needed, until the sun rises if that's how long it takes. He will know that he does not face this alone, and that for as long as this heart is beating, he will never have to be alone again.
" Iţi promit. "

「CLIMB 」 : for sender to climb into receivers lap & 「 GRIND 」 : for sender to grind against the receiver (mwah love yoooou) || @berthindeath || sinday sunday intimacy and spice prompts || selectively accepting
He is so enraptured by her that he can hardly breathe for it. She is a work of art no painter could ever hope to outdo, she is the song one hears that changes their life at night amongst the stars, and as she meets her gaze to his, backing him up against his bed, Emmrich bends to her will, helpless not to. Eager to.
It is not entirely common that she takes charge, such as this, but the confidence that has been building in her since their first time has been the most intoxicating thing he has ever born witness to, and he cannot do anything but follow her wishes.
He can always take charge again later, if he so pleases- so that he can set about loving her as she deserves to be loved, can press his affection into the marks he leaves on her skin.
The necromancer sinks to sit upon the bed, a low exhale rattling in his lungs, and Gwen's smile is all mischief, all daring, as she moves to straddle his lap, her hands catching upon his shoulders and bracing herself there. Her teeth sink into her lower lip before she raises her eyes back to his, and he feels his own heart nearly stop, his hands settling automatically at her waist and stroking gently at the warm skin beneath the gauzy fabric of the nightdress that has rucked up nearly to her ribs. It's a short thing to begin with, only barely hiding her beautiful form from his vision, tantalizing in the way that watching how the material blurs her body and moves with her just makes him watch her more intently.
He always watches her, really; she always has his attention, but like this, he doesn't think anything could tear his focus off of her. A fire could start in the room and she'd still be the only thing worth looking at.
Emmrich exhales shakily as she moves, her lips pressing softly, so softly against his. The kiss is coaxing, pulling him in to follow her- and he does, kissing her back just as soft, savoring her, savoring the moment. It ends all too soon, as she breaks it- though he chases her, she keeps just far enough back that their lips brush against one another at the slightest movement or breath- and yet he cannot truly kiss her, cannot steal the air from her lungs to fill his own, cannot steal the words from her head.
She haunts him like a dream it feels in these moments, but she is oh-so very real. Real in a way he'd never dared to pray for. He slides his hands up her flank, beneath the nightdress- slowly, slowly, and watches as she closes her eyes, swaying somewhat in his lap- luxuriating in the simple bliss that is his worship of her.
And then she's pressing more firmly into his lap, and Emmrich loses his breath, biting his own lip. Her eyes don't open- but her body moves in a beautiful, sinuous roll that sends fire licking along his nerves, the pressure to the length of his manhood like whiplash- so very much, so very intense after she has teased and played with so much softness, so much almost-but-not-quite.
"Gwendolyn," Emmrich breathes out, throat tight, his desire for her singing in his blood. She grinds down and into him again, and he cannot help but to rock up and into her, which tears a whimper from between those beautiful lips. He feels the urge to close his eyes- forces them to remain open, to remain on her.
"You are- a masterpiece," he whispers- sliding one hand up her body, tracing the softness of her until he can cup the back of her neck, whilst his other hand slides down, gripping the softness of one thigh, pulling her more firmly into him the next time she grinds down- helping her to settle into a rhythm with him. Guiding, just a little, but leaving her in control.
She hums wordless in response- finally meeting his gaze with those perfect lilac eyes, and Emmrich is lost entirely. He tugs her down into a kiss, licking into her mouth like a man possessed as he grinds up and into her- harder, now, letting her feel the way she has lit him aflame. Wordless, he rolls them until they're both sprawled on their sides- pulling her leg over his hip to keep her open and pressed to him, refusing to break the kiss.
She- can have her control next time. He needs to feel her- needs to set his hands and mouth to every inch of her skin until she's breathless for want of him- the way he is every time she looks his way. "We-" he whispers into her mouth, "Are not leaving this room till midmorning tomorrow at the earliest, my dear."

I must tend to this, but I'd be delighted if we found each other later.

send “no, you don’t get to die” for my injured muse to react to yours saying this while they’re bleeding.

𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐑𝐏 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 — pt 4-6: confessions, first kisses, and the shift from longing to something more. some of these may be repeats from other posts of mine. couldn't give up the chance to use them again! ✧ ˚₊ Themes: longing, tension, intimacy & love unfolding
𝐏𝐓.𝟒: 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋 .
The moment hangs between them ; too much, too close. Will they lean in, or will the tension break before it can become something real?
My muse catches your muse’s wrist before they can walk away, voice softer now. “…Don’t go."
My muse closes their eyes, exhaling shakily. “Tell me I’m wrong. Tell me this—whatever this is—doesn’t mean anything.”
My muse hesitates, looking down at their intertwined fingers. “…Do you even realize what you do to me?”
My muse lifts a hand to your muse’s face but doesn’t touch them. “…Say the word, and I’ll stop.”
My muse brushes your muse’s hair away, their fingers lingering. “You… have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that.”
My muse watches your muse laugh, something shifting in their gaze. “…God, I think I’m in love with you.”
𝐏𝐓. 𝟓: 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐊𝐈𝐒𝐒 .
A heartbeat, a breath, a hesitation(?) then finally, lips meet.
My muse starts to say something but is cut off as your muse kisses them instead.
My muse doesn’t think—they just act, pulling your muse in before they can change their mind.
My muse cups your muse’s face, pressing their forehead against theirs. “…Are you sure?”
My muse kisses your muse mid-argument, desperate to stop them from walking away.
My muse hesitates inches away, whispering, “Tell me to stop, and I will.”
My muse pulls away breathlessly, searching your muse’s eyes. “…Do that again.”
My muse kisses your muse so softly it almost doesn’t feel real. “…I’ve wanted to do that forever.”
My muse touches their lips afterward, a little stunned. “…Oh.”
𝐏𝐓. 𝟔: 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐖 ?!
The confession is out! The kiss has happened.
My muse swallows, voice quiet. “…So… what happens now?”
My muse laughs nervously, rubbing the back of their neck. “So… do we pretend that didn’t just happen, or—?”
My muse reaches for your muse’s hand again, this time without hesitation.
My muse smirks, bumping your muse’s shoulder. “So, uh… was I any good?”
My muse tilts your muse’s chin up, searching their eyes. “You’re sure about this? About me?”
My muse exhales shakily. “I don’t know what this means yet, but… I know I don’t want to lose you.”
My muse kisses your muse again . . . this time, softer. More certain. “…Just in case that first one was a mistake.”

a note to those around here that i, the mun, am a.sexual, pan.ro.mantic, and ge.nderq.ueer- but that doesn't mean i dislike sex or intimacy in fiction.
i am the sort of sex-re.pulsed ace that a lot of media likes to show- i don't even like kissing or holding hands, but i find all of those things absolutely fascinating and beautiful in matters of fiction, and very interesting to explore. asexuality is a spectrum, just like every other form of sexuality, and everyone has their own individual relationship with their identity within it.
if you're an ace person who loves sex or an ace person that hates it, you're still deeply valid. and yes, asexuality is valid as a queer identity within its' own right.
