Happy Mardi Gras!

Since flinging beads and sharing King Cake is much less satisfying virtually, how about a meme?

1. Comment with any character you know I've written.
2. Receive three bits of trivia about their sexuality: practices, preferences, experiences, fantasies, kinks, etc.
3. Profit!

Rose:
1. She was actually fairly good friends with Mathieu before he raped her. They were neighbors, there weren't that many people of the same age around... they'd grown up playing together. They'd even played at kissing together, though she was never interested in marrying him. Part of the reason she has so much trouble trusting is that she trusted him.

2. She had a fairly long-lasting relationship with one of the other female students when she went away to school, though it was never very deep emotionally. The other girl was white and well-off, and they didn't understand one another on a number of levels, but she was also smart, and kind enough, and very dedicated to her work. For a time that was all Rose wanted- just to learn, to work, and to have someone to share a house and take care of the physical necessities with. She broke it off when she started to want to more of a connection with the world, and made the decision to come back to New Orleans specifically to start a school for black girls.

3. Is somewhat into voyeurism. Sometimes she just wants to watch and not have to be directly involved.

Ben:
1. Does not really do casual sex. He feels a lot of emotional commitment to anyone he sleeps with, and remains invested in their well-being even after the relationship ends. One of those people who is still close friends with all of his exes.

2. Only mostly straight in feelings, but nearly entirely straight in practice. Partly because he's personally invested in being a Proper Respectable Gentleman, partly because he wants his relationships to be open and official and celebrated by everyone around him, and partly because he really wants children and a big family.

3. Is as into cuddling, talking in the dark, sharing a bed, eating breakfast together, and all the other non-sexual parts of sleeping together as he is into the sex itself.

I love all of these! (I want fic of Rose 2 and 3.)

I also really want fic of Rose 2! I just don't think I can handle the amount of research into 1820s NYC that would be necessary. (Fic for Rose 3 would be much easier, if also sort of plotless!)

I hope we'll get more flashbacks to his younger days, before he left for Paris. He "thought himself invincible as Hercules" at 16, but he was also shy and had a crush on Cathérine Clisson and didn't know what to do about it, and later he "was as chaste as he could stand to be" (what does that mean?) All of this would be so interesting to get to see.

Yes, me too! I'd also love to know about his life in Paris before he married Ayasha; we know he was with Marguerite Scie for a while, but I don't get the sense that was his only relationship. I want to know more about Marguerite, too, since we get only a little glimpse of them together.
