For Piper 😘

Them as a person: [7/10] “She can be a bitch. And she knows it. But let’s look beyond that. She’s sweeter then she wants to believe. She’s more generous then she wants to be. She’s more thoughtful then she expects she is. And she is more beautiful then she is willing to accept. Everything about her is in a constant state of denying what she is. A woman who’s been hurt. A lot. By a lot of people. But she’s far from lost or broken.”

Level of attractiveness: [6/10] “It’s funny, lot of people don’t like Gnomes. I think they can be pretty sexy in their own way. When you get one with the right stuff. I’ll admit, I started to fall for her personality before her body. But once I saw her naked? The two became pretty much equal, tell you what.”

What annoys them most: “I like a bit of fight in my partners. But I think she sometimes puts up a bit -too- much push back. Then again, we’ve only been intimate a few times, and sex was one of those. I’m biased, I’ve always preferred a bit more submission in bed. Ahh, does not detract from her appeal though.”

What they like the most: “The cute way she always tries to play off the things I do. I bring her food? I didn’t have to. I help carry some of her gear? She could have done it herself. But I always see that small smile on her lips when she thinks I’m not looking. It’s adorable.”

What they’d do if they were locked in a closet together for 4 hours: “I think we all know.”

Overall opinion: “She may never lose her edge, and she may always be abrasive and mistrustful. But I hope in some small way, I’ve helped her to feel important. That she feels I want her around me, because I do. And as much as she wants to deny all of it, I hope going forward she will always remember at least -one- person cared for her.”

Rating: [7/10]

Them as a person: [7/10] “Ria is.. fragile. Like handling a small bird within your palm. You enjoy their songs, their sweet presence, their beautiful appearance. But you can never escape that voice that picks at the back of your mind, reminding you how easily you could harm the precious thing you hold. And maybe that’s not fair to her, but for all her splendor, I am always compelled to stay away.”

Level of attractiveness: [8/10] “She’s got style, she has a sway when she walks, her eyes can make me feel rooted in place, and she knows exactly how to work a man like me. She’s a lot like Kenny, actually, with how she acts and moves through life. Which is cool, but also fairly disturbing to ponder.”

What annoys them most: “She does enjoy discarding her garments around my homestead. It is extremely difficult explaining to others I may bring home for an evening of fun who’s bra is on my bed.”

What they like the most: “She.. respects my choices? If that makes any sense. I’ve been pressured by more then my share of people to commit to something I just don’t have in me. She never has. She made her feelings evident but it was more for her own sake, rather then to guilt me into a partnership. I’m more grateful then she knows.”

What they’d do if they were locked in a closet together for 4 hours: “Okay well this is simply unfair. I think we all can imagine a few ways in which a man and woman with mutual attraction might spend time in a closet for four hours. You do the math, friend.”

Overall opinion: “She is a wonderful part of my world, for the moments she flutters in and out of it. She keeps me smiling. I just wish she would focus less on the things that stress her out, and more on what makes her happy. My fondest memories with her were simply ones spent by a pond, watching the wind in the trees, enjoying this world without expectation. I need more friends like that, and I am glad to have one in her.”

[books-n-quotes]

The boy never cried again, and he never forgot what he’d learned: that to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed.

Cassandra Clare, City of Bones (via books-n-quotes)

[rosemarywaterwitch]

Be a gentle soul. Let Kindness be part of who you are. Be generous and understanding. Care about your friends, your family and your loved ones.

But also be fierce. If someone puts yourself or the people you care about in danger - be strong. Be frightening and protect what is yours. Be a force they have to keep in mind.

NSFW under the cut!

Connor has a thing for Gnomes and Dwarves. Appropriate, given this ask! It stems a lot from when he and his sister first came to the Eastern Kingdoms they sheltered first with the Wildhammers. Connor adored their company, their lifestyle, and their traditions. He had a few flings, too, among the Dwarves of the region.

It’s no surprise then that he elected to establish his winery where he did and why he employs over 60% Dwarves in his staffing. It’s their work ethic, their drive, their company, and a sense of loyalty he feels to them. But he’d be a cold liar if he said there wasn’t one or two nights where a bottle of wine led to a bit of a romp behind some wine vats with one of the Dwarven workers.

NSFW under the cut.

- Connor considers himself straight, however his past profession found him at times sleeping with men. He does not mind it now, and though he hosts no romantic attraction to males he has no trouble helping another man get off for release and intimacy.

- Connor very much enjoys worship play during sex. Both giving and receiving. He loves to treat his lovers like kings/queens and make them feel in the time they spend intimately that they are gods/goddesses. That goes both ways. He loves a partner who lavishes themselves on him at certain times and makes him feel elevated. Heavily does it for him.

- Connor -really- adores angry sex. Unhealthily so. There is something about taking out your aggression by fucking the hell out of each other that’s a major turn on for the guy. And the best part is that it’s a fantastic way to end an argument!

Night Visitations

She awoke to the smell of cigarettes.

Eyes flickering open to seek any form of light in the darkened loft apartment, Kenny found herself absent of any such source. The only illumination on offer being a shaft of moonlight on the far side of her home that permitted a slight gleam to the hallway toward her bed. And yet it was not enough. However, she knew, even without any form of direct visual note.

“Hey Allie.”

Silence for a moment. Perhaps the elf was already asleep. That is until a small sound lifted from the other side of her bed.

“...hey...”

It was a softer sound, though still possessing of that gravel ever present within the elf’s voice. As the woman turned her head aside, Kenny could just make out the soft glow of her illuminated eyes, dimmed to a bare hint in the darkened room.

The butcher scooted a bit under the sheets, having to pass the distance over before allowing for her arm to snake under the elf’s short hair. Her other hand curled around her front, resting against her abdomen and drawing Allie in to hold.

The Kaldorei gave no protest, resting her head back to the pillow and letting their forms set against each other.

“..wanna talk about it?” Kenny offered. Allie replied after only a moment.

“No..”

The barest hint of a shrug was the butcher’s reply, tightening her hold on the elf and letting her eyes close. The smell of cigarettes always used to repulse her.

But she had a reason now to like it.
