[11] words like rain, how sweet the sound

The Other-Wordly Meme

Words are magical things; they can have so many lovely connotations and varied histories.
Words have family trees just like people. They are linked to each other.
Some words are full of flavor and color and describe things you never suspected there were words for.
Words are why we're here.

The meme is simple: post a comment with your muse's name and canon in the subject line.
List any preferences you may have ("No Shipping," "No Smut," etc.), if you decide to leave the next step up to responders.
Responders (or original posters, if they so decide), go to the Other-Wordly blog and hit 'Random' until you get a word. Use the word as a prompt for an RP scenario. Do this several times, if you like. Mix and match. Have fun with it!
Don't stop with a word, though! Words can often have etymologies that are at odds with their current meanings. Words can shift connotations over time. Let your imagination carry you with the words as its wind.

Husbands

He's laying with his head on Steve's thigh, a content expression on his face. He's lazy and tired and not in the mood to move at all.

And he knows he can do this, exist peaceful near Steve and not be judged. It feels good, comfortable and reassuring.

Steve's hand drops into his hair every now and again and Bucky practically purrs. He feels like he's loved, like everything is right with the world, at least for a few minutes.

He knows it won't last, it never lasts. Something will rear it's head and go south and make everything crumble but for now he's happy to simply exist which is not something he often finds himself thinking.
