"Carried You Down to the Saint Lawrence River..."

Hey, look! I don't want to finish this essay!

three kisses.
❤ give me one of my characters and one of yours. [or several of either and I will mix & match]
❤ i will write three short snippets.
❤ each snippet will feature a kiss.


pick 12 characters and answer the sex/romantical questions meme. RP characters this time through, from a potpourri of games. (I suppose if you needed any inspiration for the above...) Robbed off [livejournal.com profile] skaryma, both of them.

1. Gaheris
2. Ivy Statton
3. Mickle
4. Magdalen Kohlrabi
5. Sagramore
6. Lynette (space!Lynette, not Arthurian!Lynette)
7. Zara
8. Alex Moore
9. Phoena
10. Jim Brown
11. Agravain
12. Linden Kohlrabi

a)Do you think Four is hot? How hot? No. Magda is definitely not hot. She is the antithesis. Hahaha.

b)What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant? Never mind that that would be difficult, I would laugh very, very hard. Anyway, Alex is good at being a single parent, so he'd cope--he'd probably be most worried about Annika being okay with a sibling. Linden would feel hugely guilty about bringing another misbegotten child into the world, so he would hide somewhere, make child support payments if asked, and generally try never to appear in the kid's life ever.

c)Would Two and Six make a good couple? ...Yes, actually. Ivy is good at reading people, and she would calm Lynette down. Lynn would be cool with someone who can take both charge and responsibility. So that would work out quite well, really. I'm kind of delighted.

d)Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why? Since Phoena is his adopted daughter, I'm gonna say Jim. The best part is, Jim is just a reincarnation of Sagramore, so the result will be hilarious, especially if either one figures it out.

e)What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve having sex? Well, Ivy would never have sex with someone as obviously fucked up as Linden, quite frankly, because she is smarter than that, and Linden gives off a definite aura of Not On if you are in the way to sense it. But if they were having sex for some ungodly reason, Zara would go EW and walk out again, because she is Not Innerested.

f)Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve fic. A History of Violence. Because I would enjoy the reference and the fact that both of them have been involved in violent uprisings.

g)What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Eleven to deflower One? OH MY GOD. Ahahaha. I would use Lots of Alcohol as a plot device, believe you me, because Gaheris/Agravain--oh my god. Gaheris would probably take it, especially if he were drunk, but with Agravain it would have to be some kind of power play and/or extreme misery, and--dammit, now I'm thinking about what would make it work. DON'T MAKE ME WRITE THIS IT'S NOT OKAY.

h)What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion? HURRAH FOR THE BONNY BLUE FLAG THAT BEARS A SINGLE STAR. ...uh, no, he mostly just goes "AW CHRIST" at such moments.

i)What might be a good pick-up line for Two to use on Ten? "Cocktails~!" Because this is Ivy.

j)What is Six's super-sekrit kink? Gawain. Uh, no, it's actually just other people who understand mechanics as well as she does and want to talk sexy about them. And she likes cuddling a whole lot.

k)Would Eleven shag Nine? Drunk or sober? Very, very drunk. Frankly, Agravain in my head is straight as a rod, but he's also capable of getting so drunk off his ass he can't tell the sex of the person he's sleeping with, so, you know, anything goes.

l)If Three and Seven get together, who's on top? Mickle would let Zara be on top, physically, but in all honesty she'd be the one controlling the situation. She's kind of like Connie that way.

m)"One and Nine are in a happy relationship until Nine suddenly runs off with Four. One, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve, then follows the wise advice of Five and finds true love with Three." What title would you give this fic? So, Gaheris and Phoena are dating, but then Phoena goes off with Magda, and Gaheris shacks up with Agravain and Linden--then Sagramore tells him to wise up, so he hooks up with Mickle. Wow. Okay. Everyone really is bisexual. Well, Mickle is probably better for Gaheris than Phoena, and I can see Phoena and Magda having a Really Fucking Weird relationship, and I think I've already discussed the problems inherent in Gaheris/Agravain, and dear God Gary why would you sleep with Linden?, but overall: I would probably pick some Significant Biblical Title because that's what I tend to do with fic that has Gaheris in.

n)How would you feel if Seven/Eight was canon? I would laugh and laugh and laugh. Also, Zara would hate Alex, he is way too chill.

Ken/Ivy

i. The first time she kissed him, on the dance floor of that little nightclub on Washington Street, him drunk off cocktails and her nineteen and wearing that silly dress that was the height of fashion in the nineties, she didn't know at all why she felt so determined to keep him from leaving without her.

She doesn't find out until she marries him, and realises that, like the part of her that hears the trees complaining in winter and murmuring happily in spring, she knew that he was Right.

ii. "Baby, you didn't sleep again? It's been four nights."

"Three." He corrects her with a resigned expression.

"That's still bad. You need to get more rest. You're working so hard, it doesn't make sense for you not to be able to sleep."

"It's just insomnia and bad dreams."

"Maybe we should see a doctor."

"Because they do so much good," irritably.

Ivy sighs. "Baby--I just want you to feel better."

"I feel fine. It's just a few hours' lost sleep."

She wraps her arms around his neck and stands on her toes to kiss him. "Why don't you come to bed for now? At least you'll feel better."

Ken loosens his tie. "That's a plan."

iii. After the third gynecologist, the second obstetrician, and the myriad sex clinics, therapists, proctologists, urologists, and a Buddhist priest Ivy's mother suggests, they end up back home in the living room of their expensive Manhattan apartment, sitting on the couch in front of the picture windows the size of the walls. Ivy curls up on Ken's lap and sobs into his shoulder.

"It's not fair. It's not fair. I just want a baby. I just want my own baby."

He kisses her hair and strokes her back, making his best effort at soothing noises. "It might just be coincidence so far. They didn't find anything wrong."

"But we're trying. We've done everything they said."

"Maybe we'll get lucky yet. We don't need to give up."

But she's inconsolable for the rest of the week, and he's only just getting used to it when she picks herself up and throws herself back into work. If he had an answer--but he doesn't.
