Meme Announcements!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: UPDATED 12/16/2017
Happy Holidays, fellow Kinkmemers! I have returned and have no reasonable excuse for my absence except LIFE. I will be working on updating the archives. If anyone sees anything amiss, please let me know.
I am also hoping to find another Mod and an Archivist.
The more dedicated people we have in this Meme the less chance of it dying. I admit that being the sole keeper of the Meme is not great for the fandom. If something were to happen to me, for good, this place would go the way of the Fallout Kink Meme. Let's not let that happen! If anyone would be interested in Modding/Archiving, please drop me a line. Thanks! <3

(Anonymous) 2013-02-15 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)But let me start with some overall impressions. Like with the twins, you've gotten us this far, you could have phoned the sex scene in. It didn't have to be anyhting more than two gorgous guys fucking, but you just can't do that, can you? Instead you give us a thesis on beauty and pain. Something that's so deep and throughtful that it almost forgets to be hot. The key word there is 'Almost'
Because Holy Gods, is this hot. I honestly had to stop using Ulfric's voice in my head, because otherwise I'd never finish reading it and the husband would be late for work. Even now my forehead is sweaty. Damn! I told you once about what I liked in being fucked by a large man, and it's good to see you took notes.
Now, let me backtrack a little, because there's a whole lot more here than just mindblowing sex.
We start with some kissing, to get things to a quick simmer right away. I love your imagery in discribing it. Dyce being willing to chase Ulfric's excitement, Ulfric's tongue curling like smoke in Dyce's mouth. This also gives us our first brush with pain.
Both Ulfric and Dyce are almost too big for their skins. They are so many big things: Heroes, Warriors, Leaders of Men, Kings, Villians, and Instruments of the Gods. With all that, there's almost no room to be men; Simple, needful men. This is the truth Ulfric's lived with for years. He was born too it to an extent, but he's way more than just a Jarl. Ulfric's also become such a sex object that he doesn't have sex anymore. Because when you're supposedly a perfect sex god, how can you actually take off your clothes and fuck someone? How can you live up to those expectations? Its the Prom Queen Syndrome times a thousand.
Dyce on the other hand, is just coming to this truth. This story has been about Dyce's evolution as much as it's been about Ulfric, and that last section, with Dyce running away and Ulfric hauling him back is an excellent example. Dyce, who's avoided commitments all his life, has made commitments through his actions. He helped lead the battle, so had to go and honor the dead. He's broken Skyrim from the Empire, and now he has to help it fight against the Thalmor. He's become a warrior. He's become a leader of men, and he didn't even notice. I suspect he doesn't realize what he's done, but it's coming. Dyce has avoided the sex object problem, by not letting his image drift from his reality, and by not paying too much attention to what 'people' are saying about him.
As Ulfric (and Galmar) showed Dyce how he had the ability to be a leader and a warrior, Dyce is showing Ulfric how he has the ability to be a lover. Both Dyce and Ulfric had those talents, they just didn't know how to apply them.
I love the imagery of Dyce searching through all of Ulfric's layers to reach his skin, to actually touch him. Fabulous metaphor. As is the Fucking Gorgous. The intensity of that scene is just so artful. All sex, to a greater or lessor extent is about control; Who's doing what to whom? Who's giving, who's recieving? Who's begging, who's asking, and who's making who beg? Ulfric and Dyce are so interesting because that control dynamic is unpredicable and constantly shifting. Yes, Ulfric is huge and forceful and Dyce is small and slippery, but look at their Thu'ums, and Dyce is thehuge battleaxe and Ulfric is the tiny dagger. Is Ulfric seducing Dyce or is Dyce seducing Ulfric? It's constantly going back and forth and you could watch it for hours.
(Gah, character limits.)
