skyrimkinkmemeANNOUNCEMENTS: 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
Alone (M!DB/Romlyn) (11/?)
Date: 2013-03-17 08:23 am (UTC)Romlyn couldn’t find fault in Serano’s decision to stay away from those flying heralds of death; but he knew for certain that what Serano tried to pass off as a noble cause was merely an excuse to be able to travel the country some more.
He had no idea what the altmer wanted to hide from him. But the simple thought that there was anything to hide resurrected all sorts of fears in his heart.
He steeled himself and forced himself to speak past the lump in his throat. “I don’t care. I just don’t want you to die.”
The altmer sighed in annoyance. “We’ve talked about that, Romlyn. When I die you have to go to the tavern in Riverwood and talk to Ognar. He will know how to contact a woman called Delphine. I gave her some money for you; you should use it to get as far away from Skyrim as possible and buy a small house somewhere else.”
“This is not about money!”
“Then what is it about?”
It was hard to put into words when asked so directly. He had to find a way to make this man understand without sounding too pathetic.
The priests in the temple of Mara had always described marriage differently. And even though he knew that the form of love they preached was something that only happened in fairy tales, this was not how it was supposed to be. His husband shouldn’t have to be knocked unconscious to spend more than a few days in the same house with him. Romlyn shouldn’t have to fight tooth and nail to keep his lover from fleeing from his side as soon as he was able to walk again. They should be able to talk about such things without it ending in violence.
But that might have been his mistake: Falling in love with a mercenary, vagabond, adventurer, whatever the man insisted on calling himself. Serano’s lifestyle just didn’t work well with what Romlyn was expecting.
He just didn’t want to lose this man. He didn’t want to be alone again. He wanted something normal.
“I just want us to be like… a real family.”
Of course, the altmer didn’t get it. “Is that why you asked me about children?”
“Just… Please just forget about that. The idea was stupid. You made it fairly clear that you weren’t interested.”
He thought back on that night a few weeks ago when Serano had held him so gently and Romlyn had been so sure of their relationship. For once the altmer had been affectionate and kind; in his warm embrace Romlyn had found the courage to share something of himself he had kept hidden for far too long.
But of course the moment hadn’t lasted very long. As soon as the words had left his mouth Serano had laughed his ass off. He had laughed so hard Romlyn’s ears had been ringing.
“Well you have to admit, the very idea is preposterous.”
Right. Preposterous. Of course.

A!Anon: Sorry for the short update and that I didn't get to the smut as I promised. I just didn't like the cliffhanger from the last update and felt like I should at least put something up. The problem with those long scenes is that I can never find a good place to stop, but please bear with me.
OP here~
Date: 2013-03-18 05:23 am (UTC)Ooooh, I'm curious if Romlyn knowing about Serano's little lie will have any further complications down the road. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into this.
And even though it's obviously one of the main points of this relationship, it breaks my heart how Romlyn can't seem to get anything he wants.
I'm loving this *u* you've made me the happiest OP in the live -long world; don't worry about us and just keep doing what you're doing, A!A

Date: 2013-03-19 08:12 pm (UTC)Athor!Non, you are fantastic! I love the complexity of the relationship and the is it- is it not abuse borderline that they tread so softly together. I love that Romlyn is willing to *literally* fight to protect Serano, even if Serano doesn't realise it.
And I love Serano chewing Romlyn out for biting his casting hand, I don't think it was meant to be funny, but it made me smile ay his priorities :)
Also, JSYK, I'm listening to Woodkid's I Love You, and I think it should be thier anthem.
Keep up the good work, lovely Nonny!
