"I can't live without you...literally."


Wake up. Do what you have to. Work. School. Save the world. Avenge your father's death. Go back to sleep. Average day, for human, demon, sailor scout, angel, slayer, what have you. Though there's some part of you that wonders, in the back of your mind, if this is the day you'll meet your bond.

Because your world is just like ours - or how yours was, in another universe - but with one addition: the soul bond. The soul bond is a concept as old as time itself. People don't question the process, it just is. Some say that it comes from the beginning of time, where each soul was created in a pair, and throughout the lifetimes those souls are reborn into, they search for each other. This is the soul bond. Even if that's mostly faded into myth, it's generally excepted that there is only only one person for anyone. So, soulmates.

Not exactly. Soul bonds are more. They are about the joining of bodies: sexually and psychically. The bond isn't necessarily about love, though the close connection facilitates that emotion growing, and some fondness does appear in almost every case. It's bigger than love, bigger than hate, bigger than anything else; it's finding yourself in someone else, and your never wanting to lose that. Needless to say, the soul bond is the cornerstone of life and society. Marriage is reserved for the bonded, and you're expected to be searching for that other half. There's a good biological reason for that, too, as the unbonded cannot reproduce and those who have not found their bond are doomed to die extremely early in comparison to their peers and in a most painful, withering fashion. Who would want that?

In this world, sex is had with those who are not the other half of your bond, even if society considers that frivolous. For the truth is, sex with any other will never be as good as sex with your other half. When you make love to someone who isn't yours, you'll know it. It's a disappointment.

When you so much as see your bond for the first time, or at least for the first time after you've reached sexual maturity, you'll know, even if you're already "with" someone else. The signs are inescapable. You'll know it's them. You'll become hyper-focused on them, your heart will race, your muscles tighten, your brain shoot off every signal it nose...and you will become aroused beyond belief. Any arousal you've had prior pales in comparison. So go ahead, if you don't want a bond, ignore it. Try. It won't work. The more you ignore it, the more control you'll lose. Did I forget to mention? In this world, sexual drives are a little more animalistic than usual. They would have to be when the mainstay of the races is a sexual-based bond. Those who try to ward off the desire to become one with their other half can achieve mild success - until they absolutely lose themselves. It's not uncommon to see bonds going at it in the streets, unabashed and unashamed, for trying to hold off the inevitable. Sex between bonds in public, generally, is not looked down upon.

You've given in. Of course you did. But what now? The first time you have sex with your bond, it will be beyond compare. You will share memories with each other, as this is the opening of your psychic connection with them. Yes, psychic connection. How would you expect to be truly bonded otherwise? How strong this link is depends on how often you have sex. Even at baseline, though, you'll know if your bond is hurt or in trouble. Fair warning: this will pull at that animal brain, and you will go into a beserker mode to get them back with you. Similarly, you will behave in a territorial manner if you feel the bond is threatened; jealousy often results in shameless public sex, in hopes to re-establish the strength of your connection and make your bond realize that YOU'RE the other part of them, no one else. In addition, bonds don't handle separation well and each partner will be antsy and on edge. It can be done, and most pairs do because of work, duties, and life in general, but returns are usually accompanied by sometimes days-long sex sessions.

Aside from those quirks, the bonding process can be quite useful. A bond can calm you down, and sex with your bond can serve as the ultimate relaxer. Your bond is the one who can heal you, and sex boosts your strength and power. Yes, those of you looking to achieve your ultimate goal...or ultimate form. Being a bond makes you stronger. Don't resist, no matter how surly you are.

The bond is no respecter of person. Outside of sexuality such as straight or gay, types or species don't matter. You could be bonded with someone as different from you as night and day. However, no matter what the case, you'll begin to care for them in some fashion. You'll feel the need to be with each other as much as possible, both sexually and otherwise. They'll become the most important person in the world to you. Of course, this is assuming your bond is someone you can feasibly be with. Perhaps there is some truth to that reincarnation business, as sometimes, those souls are reborn into people who are never meant to be bonds - warring tribes, at-odds species, and even relatives or people with a great amount of age between them.

The bond is permanent. This is the person you were meant to be with, after all, until you die (and soul bonds usually die within years of each other). Theoretically, though, it can be broken. Mostly, this is done when one side betrays the other side somehow. As the bond is initiated through sex, it's broken in the same way. What happens next is rarely pretty. Police reports usually find the bodies of the dead bonded, cause of death specifically unknown.

Head spinning yet? It shouldn't be! This is the world you live in.

rules
- Comment with your character, preferences, what you're interested in, and what you're not interested in.
- Crosscanon tagging is expected and encouraged. Mention if you want to make some kind of canon-insertion AU with one of the characters or just have a nebulous AU.


prompts

Meeting - You see your bond in that way for the first time, and it's done. You're done. You have to have them to be complete.

Trying to Fight It - No, you're the type who rebels against this whole "soul bond" system. You're the master of your own design, and you won't give in despite the fact that you could just start masturbating right now.

Failure to Fight - The whole fighting thing didn't work out, and now you're going at each other like you'll die of thirst.

First Time - The legendary first time with soaring sensations, amazing orgasms, and the sharing of memories.

Not the Sharing Type - You're a private person and don't want your brain in someone else's. How can you reconcile this? Maybe doing the act can change your mind. Or maybe you just want relief so badly, you don't care.

Feedback - You feel all of your partners pleasure as well as their pain. If you can't come up with something kinky, I can't help you.

Dirty Thoughts - You know what's naughty? Sending mental images of what you'd like to do to your bond through your connection. It's like mental sexting - or a fun way to torture them.

Learning About Each Other - You're learning what both of you like and don't like and sharing as you go.

Jealousy - Someone tried to approach your bond and it made you a bit miffed. Now it's time for some affirmation of the connection and to make sure that you're still on their mind.

Rough Bond - Your bond is more hate than love sometimes, but it's a thin line. Besides, you still care more about them than anyone else, and god forbid someone hurt them. Besides, rough sex is fun.

Separation - You'll be apart for a while. You need one last hurrah

Reunion - You're back together. Now to make up for lost time. Not just because you want to, either.

Public - Remember how I said sex in public is accepted for bonds. Why not take advantage?

Chasing That High - You keep having sex with people, trying to find you bond.

Chasing That Low - In contrast to the above, you're trying to keep away from a bond by desensitizing yourself to sex.

Bond Party - Some young people throw "mixers" where, hopefully, you may meet your bond. Experimentation is bound to happen...even experimentation with multiple people at the same time, trying to find that one.

Can Never Be - Your bond is with someone you shouldn't have one with. They're your sworn enemy, your teacher, or your sibling. Your body and soul says yes, but your mind says no.

Strengthen - You need energy to defeat the big bad or rule the world. Go to your bond and recharge.

Comfort - A bond is often the only one who can calm their other half down, and that sometimes happens through a grounding via sex, bringing the upset party back to what really matters.

Healing - Healing wounds and healing the connection all comes down to body pressed against body. Just be careful of blood.

Long Time Bond - You've been together for some time now and you know each other like the back of your hands. You can make them come in ten seconds flat if need be, but it's more fun to drag things out, isn't it?

Ritual - You want to make your bond official in the eyes of the government. Unsurprisingly, the marriage ceremony is ritualistic sex.

Impregnation - There's no fertilization between the eggs and sperm of non-bonds, so one surefire way to make sure everything's on the up and up is to get pregnant.
Mind Games - Being psychically connected is all good until they fuck with your head.

Dependency - It's not always easy, being for, all intents and purposes, addicted to a person. You need them like you need breathing, and you'll take what you can even if you're ashamed.

Already with Someone - You love someone, but they're not your bond. Can they keep you when you meet your real bond?

I'm Not Yours, You're Not Mine - You know you're not bonds. Still you want them to stay with you and you'll do anything and try to be better.

False Bond - You thought you were bonded, you really did, until you met them

Faking It - There are benefits to faking a bond, including for safety, financial gain, and to secure alliances. Of course, you can't fake it in the bedroom.

Manipulating - You'll get what you want, even if you have to lie and pretend you're bonded to them...how you can fake that, no one knows, but it's worth a shot.

It's Not Me, It's You - Sometimes, mistakes are made. They're your bond, but you're not theirs.

Break the Bond - Because you have a death wish or a snuff kink.

My Ex-Lover is Dead - Your soul bond is gone and you're trying to fill the gap.

OR MAKE UP YOUR OWN


Now made with 10x more awful because Brock Rumlow is involved in it. I regret nothing and neither should any of you.

Bucky was out getting them food. Actually, she wasn't sure what he was doing. Right now though? Right now she was getting bored. It's why she was laying back in their bed and her hand was trailing down over her body. If she'd realized that he'd end up feeling what she was in that moment, she might of stopped. Might of.

Her hand slides down along her stomach a bit more, moving to slip between her legs.

If he wanted to think that it was some residual effect of them being parted, who was going to stop him. However, it has nothing to do with that at all. No, it has to do with the fact that he isn't home and she's getting bored. Something that was hard to do when it came to her. Normally she'd be working on her sketches, but not today.

No, her fingers move between her legs a bit more and caress along her clit, soft moan slipping from her lips. Sorry, Bucky, you may or may not get through the market aroused by the end of the shopping trip. More than likely aroused more than not.

It wasn't that something was going on at home per sae. No, it was her being bored and not having anything to do. Bucky hadn't given her anything to do and she didn't feel like sketching. Though she can't help but yelp slightly when she feels that slight bit of pain. Specifically in her thigh and it has her scowling a bit.

She leans her head back and closes her eyes, body overly frustrated at the moment. Okay, she could wait. At least until Bucky got home and then all bets were off.

Thursday, October 16th, 2014 01:02 pm (UTC)

No one had ever told him that he had to be 'good' as it were. She definitely never told him that and he knew it. Though that scowl gets a bit of a pout out of her, "I am not." She pulls on one of his shirts and walks into the kitchen, pressing up against his back.

"You should've given me something to do while you were gone. Because I was bored and one thing led to another... You know how I get when I'm bored and don't want to sketch."

Was Stephanie surprised when it turned out they were each other soul bond back before the war and everything happened, no she couldn’t say that she was and she didn’t thought anyone was for that matter. Everyone that knew them had probably seen it coming from the start, considering how close they had been while growing up, so it really hadn’t been that hard to accept that part of their lives and adapt to it, even if they hadn’t gone with the norm back then and married right off the start, they were going to do so of course but then the war had happened and…

…Everything that had happened did, he had fallen, she had fallen, she had woken up alone in this new century and feeling that missing link from her soul bond and then she had found him again, when he had tried to kill her and had been so confused at feeling that familiar tug once again, and of course all the things he had gone through made their situation a bit complicated.

Sure she had managed to bring Bucky back and the work on his recovery was still a work on progress, and while they were both aware they were soul bonded, they hadn’t exactly done anything about it just yet. Their bond was still there, surprisingly enough despite all that had happened but then it was probably because he hadn’t exactly been that conscious about betraying her, but the thing is that they…well they hadn’t gone about re-affirming it just yet.

A slight and what kind of felt as a slight intimate touch against her arm snapped her back to her senses, she looked up to find Tony’s smirking face and she couldn’t help but smile back. It was odd how a disastrous one night stand, which had been just awful, had ended making them kind of friends and now he felt comfortable enough to flirt with her from times to times, since it didn’t bothered Pepper and it’s not as if it meant anything. She turned when she saw movement from the corner of her eye and smiled a bit. “Hey there, Buck.”

Whatever was the reason behind the Avengers being willing to host Bucky with them, she was quite thankful for it, especially to Natasha and Sam since they had been in the brunt end of the soldier violence. But she had the bit of suspicion it was due to the fact most, if not all of them, understood how important a soul bond was and how awful it was to be without that person. Natasha had been particularly antsy –or as much as she could be, when it had taken Clint quite a bit to return from his last assignment before SHIELD fell.

They all understood and had probably banked on that bond to more or less keep Bucky on line, as tenuous as their bond was it was still there and still had enough of an effect. Which was why she was able to notice the slight irritation on his tone though she could be mistaken as well, they couldn’t read the other as well as they did before, but before she could open her mouth Stark beat her to it.

“Nah, we are not busy at all, Buckster, right Stephy?”

She just looked a bit startled at the new nickname before sighing a bit. “Are you hungry? We were about to have breakfast or at least I was since Tony seems to survive only with coffee.”

A grin appeared on Tony’s face before he wrapped an arm around her shoulder. “Yes do stay with us, we are all friends here, aren't we?”
Friday, October 10th, 2014 04:35 am (UTC)
As tenuous as their bond was, she was still able to somehow feel the moment he got angry –even if she wasn’t exactly sure about the reason, she knew Tony could be quite annoying but the man hadn’t said anything yet to piss Bucky off unless it had been the nickname. Her expression fell a bit when he left the kitchen before she could say anything to him and she turned to glare at Tony a bit. The man just held up his hands and moved to get his coffee looking as innocent as he could manage; she just sighed and decided to leave her bond mate alone for the time being.

And maybe that was why, after that incident in the kitchen, Stephanie had made it a bit of a mission to spend as much time with Bucky as she could manage without being to overbearing or grating on his nerves. Which no one in the tower questioned, since it wasn’t rare for soul bonds to try to gravitate to each other and be near the other after a long separation or if something that had endangered their lives had happened, God knew that had happened when Clint returned and Natasha hadn’t let him out of her sight, Stephanie was kind of doing the same in a way.

She did missed her best friend and soul bond, she of course knew things wouldn’t be the same, but she had no trouble adapting to who he was now and she hoped she was showing that to him.

But every time, every time she felt as if she was making some progress, somehow Tony appeared and did something that seemed to set off Bucky and he ended storming off, which left her starting all over again and with Stark looking a mix between amused and expectant as if waiting something, really Pepper should return like ASAP since he clearly was to bored and unpredictable without his bonded around.

She was hoping that today things will be better; Bucky had after all agreed to have breakfast with her after what had happened the previous night when Tony had clung to her and whined about being bored. “I was thinking about going to the park today, do you want to come with me?”

She had been pouring coffee for them when low and behold a very sleep deprived Tony appeared, made a bee line for the coffee, stealing a mug and promptly pressed a kiss against her lips, “Thank you, babe, just what I needed!” And just moved to find the sugar, leaving her standing there in shock and feeling maybe just a bit uncomfortable.
Sunday, October 12th, 2014 03:43 am (UTC)
It was the shattering of the glass what snapped her back to the attention and she was kind of glad for the distraction, she moved to get one of the kitchen rags and handed it to Bucky. “Here, you need to dry off.” She moved away for a few seconds, to get the mop they have all decided it was better to keep around after the rather impromptu water battle that had happened here, like six times already, with Tony just watching on maybe a tad bit amused and looking over at Bucky.

“You really need to step up your game transformer, snooze and you lose they say.” He finished preparing his coffee and walked past her once she returned, before stopping to smack her ass. “Keep up the good work, babe.”

“TONY!” She wasn’t happy and was tempted to throw the mop at his retreating form, the damn idiot what the hell was his problem. With a sigh she started to clean the mess of the juice. “Alright, leaving that asides, I still think we should go out, otherwise I will be tempted to go deck Stark or call Pepper to return ASAP.”

The notion of a soul bond sounded completely ridiculous to Sarah. It was supposed to be as real as anything in this world, but the science behind it, the evidence...it didn't make any sense. It was all a matter of fate and chance. The world they lived in could not rely on such things. They were trained killers. They needed to be precise, deadly and on point. Anything less would get them killed, or worse, skinned alive by HYDRA. A least if they were dead they would be of no use to the evil organization. Then again, this was the same origination that loved to play God, creating life from nothing.

She was nothing more than a science experiment. Something for people to observe, take notes on, poke, prod, and test her limits. Now it was time to see if she was worth keeping around.

Her and the other clones were summoned to the debriefing room to discuss their newest target. Some diplomat that needed to be brought down for one reason or another. Sarah wasn't paying too much attention, instead she was throwing teasing glances at the other men in the room. One of them seemed like he'd be up for the task of going for a quick tryst when the room became utterly quiet.

Another soldier walked in, one of HYDRA'S prized weapons. Sarah's gaze turned from the soldier she was silently flirting with to see who walked in. Her heart began to speed up, her hands sweaty and sudden urge to get closer.

Weren't these the feelings that described as a..no, god no. Her life was fucked up enough as is! The brunette bowed her head to avoid eye contact, waiting to be dismissed and ignore The Winter Soldier.
Friday, October 10th, 2014 03:51 am (UTC)
The meeting droned on for what seemed like hours until they were all dismissed. They had an hour to prep themselves to take out the diplomat. Sarah briefly glanced at the clock, taking down the time and setting a mental reminder to come back within sixty minutes. Her eyes left the clock, automatically going to the Soldier, before forcing herself to stare at the man she had been silently flirting with. They locked eyes again, giving Sarah something to focus on. She flashed a weak smirk before turning on her heel.

All she had to do was stay away from the Soldier until they had to leave. She could busy herself by getting it on with the random guy she saw. Yes, that would do. A quickie would clear her head and leave her clear headed in time for the mission.

At least that was the plan until one of her Superior Officers called her back. The clones were to receive further instructions and would be operating under the Winter Soldier. Bloody hell. She wanted to shoot herself, or stab her own thigh if it meant getting away. But no, she was forced to stay with him. Just hold out till Cosima, or Helena get here...fuck. She kept her distance from him and opted to stay silent. Best to not make conversation with him, right?
Saturday, October 11th, 2014 04:12 am (UTC)
Sarah didn't know what was worse; being alone in a room with the Soldier or being in a room with him and not saying anything. The quietness was supposed to be calming, meant to keep her mind focused. But all she could focus on was him. The scent was starting to carry to her and she could only imagine what his body had to feel beneath hers. A shiver crawled down her spine, forcing her to look away from him.

Fuck, where the hell were Cosima and Helena? They were supposed to be here already. Her eyes swept the room over to the clock, watching the seconds tick by. She was trying to will the time to go by faster, but no luck. After thirty seconds she was at her wits end.

"Fuck this, call me back when the other two get here," she growled, moving from her spot to go right past the Soldier and leave.
Wednesday, October 15th, 2014 04:47 am (UTC)
Whether it was by chance or rotten luck when she passed him that she heard him. Sarah stopped right by him, feeling his presence wash over hers and felt a sudden wave of calmness and rightness right then. Any other normal person would've stopped, turned around and uttered some corny phrase, but not Sarah. No, nothing good happened to her. She was lucky to be alive. Lucky that she wasn't dying or coughing up blood or labeled as a failure. But if she and him were soul bonds...then they were officially screwed. Utterly screwed. They were products of science and if they were together...who knows what their handlers would want of them.

But as she stayed there, trying to let a lie slip past her lips, she couldn't do it. The bond was there, but it wasn't sealed. She should still be able to give him an easy and simple lie.

"...I don't know," she murmured, telling him a half truth. It was all she could herself to say. When she said those words it felt like someone delivered a blow to her gut. Sarah did the only thing she could do.

She bolted.
