The Slave Auction Meme

The Slave Auction Meme



• Leave a comment with the character's name, fandom, and whether your character will be playing the part of 'slave' or 'master', plus preferences for scenarios if you have any.
• Respond to others with one of the scenarios below or feel free to make up your own.
• Please remember to be respectful of others while you play

Warning: Be aware that this meme deals with dark subjects like slavery and may also contain non-consensual/dubiously consensual sex, violence, and kink.

SLAVES

1. The Newbie - This is your very first auction and you don't quite know what to expect. Hopefully you remember your training and don't disgrace yourself in front of your new master. Hopefully someone thinks you're worth buying at all.

2. The Oldtimer - You've been bought and sold and bought again so many times. You've seen it all before and don't think this time is going to be much different. In fact, the only real anxiety you've got is whether or not someone's going to pay for a more than slightly used slave.

3. The Pet - You're a pleasure slave. A bed warmer. A decorative piece of artwork. You're meant to look pretty and be pleasing and not much else.

4. The Guard - Your master hired you because of your ability to swing a sword or shoot a gun, not your looks.

5. The Escape Artist - Somehow you always manage to squirm out of your master's chains. Too bad you seem to get caught after a while. Maybe your next daring escape will be permanent. Then again, maybe your next master has special ways of keeping you locked up.

6. The Undercover - You aren't a slave at all, you're just pretending to be one. Why? Well that's up to you. Either way, your cover is blown if you don't act the part.

7. The Specialist - You have a skill that no one else has. Something rare and valuable. Something your master needs more than anything else.

MASTERS

1. The Customer - You've owned slaves before and this trip to the market is nothing new to you. Still, you're hoping to find something worth your while.

2. The Gift - Someone bought a pet for you, isn't that nice of them? Or maybe it isn't so nice. Did you even want a slave in the first place? Well you're stuck with one now.

3. The Giver - You're selecting a slave for someone else, and they need to be perfect. Perhaps you'd better test them out first to make sure you're getting your money's worth.

4. The Trainer - You specialize in taming unruly slaves and making them over into perfect, obedient, well-trained pets.

5. The Rebel - You hate the idea of slavery, but the system isn't going to go away any time soon, so the next best thing is to buy up any slave you can get your hands on and free them, right?

6. The Companion - You want someone to be with you always, someone you can talk to and depend on, someone who will never leave your side. It's a good thing that money can buy that these days.

7. The Undercover - You're not actually a Master. You're at the auction for an entirely different reason. Maybe it's special policework, maybe you're trying to hunt down a certain someone. Either way, your cover is blown unless you act the part.

As always, feel free to use a combination of scenarios or make up your own if you have other ideas.

You would do the same for me if I put up in such a place. Even if it involved dragging every gardener you could find out there.

[personal profile] holdshisown 2025-05-05 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. What sort of husband would I be if I let you live in a place with no trees? No gardener would have been spared from the task of remedying that situation.

So it is no wonder I did it for you, is it? [He asks, kissing his temple softly.] My love for you is without end.
holdshisown: (Happy)

[personal profile] holdshisown 2025-05-05 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Still it was sweet and I am grateful for it. [He miles up at Fingon, grateful too to be in his company again.] And that, my heart, is the greatest gift you've ever given me.
thedayhascome: (12)

[personal profile] thedayhascome 2025-05-05 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Clearly I do not spoil you enough if that is the greatest gift. I will endeavour to do better.

[personal profile] holdshisown 2025-05-05 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
And what could be greater than your love, hm? [He teases, surprising himself by the joyful laugh that slips out of him. Oh. Oh but it feels good to laugh, he thinks.]
thedayhascome: (12)

[personal profile] thedayhascome 2025-05-05 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Obviously so much of my love shown to you that your room is full to overflowing with it, perhaps your entire keep.
holdshisown: (pic#17477220)

[personal profile] holdshisown 2025-05-05 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Now that would be a sight to see.
thedayhascome: (03)

[personal profile] thedayhascome 2025-05-05 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I am going to spoil you when we are home to the point that you forget you might ever want to leave. [As if he wasn't "spoiling" him now. Though Fingon would argue that in this case it was a medical need.]
holdshisown: (Happy)

[personal profile] holdshisown 2025-05-06 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I can only imagine how you'll pamper me when we get home. [Not that he is not already doing so. Spoon feeding him as he rests against the softest bedding available in this place.] I bet before to long I'll be making the rest of the court green with envy for how I hoard your favor. [Not that he'd mind that. He could be like a dragon with it's gold when it came to Fingon's attention.]
thedayhascome: (03)

[personal profile] thedayhascome 2025-05-06 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
They are already green with envy my love. Who else has had someone walk into Angband for them, and who else do I go visit even now as a King when they live so far away? Though it is never for as long as I would like.

They all know I would keep you for myself if they would stay. That the might Maedhros is all mine. My best friend. My cousin. My life.
holdshisown: (Happy)

[personal profile] holdshisown 2025-05-07 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... that is true, I suppose. I have seen plenty of people sigh wistfully whenever that song Kano made about your rescue of me is being sung.

[He can understand it, in a way. It feels good to know someone cares enough about him to do something like that.]

Only yours. [He agrees, sounding incredibly pleased with himself.]
thedayhascome: (14)

[personal profile] thedayhascome 2025-05-07 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I will not lie, several women have swooned at me over it. [And perhaps in another life that would have taken his interest, but his love had been long ago claimed by the elf in his arms.] Many take up Kano's songs, I suppose to honour me or remind us that there is always hope no matter how grey and thick the clouds appear.

[Fingon kisses his temple softly.] I will have to protect you better than I have been. [It wasn't as if Fingon had had much choice given where Maedhros insisted on living, but it clearly wasn't something that could go on. Not after this.]
holdshisown: (pic#17652370)

[personal profile] holdshisown 2025-05-07 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Your arms do make the prospect of swooning a very tempting one. [He might have had the thought to do so once or twice himself, but his dignity never quite allowed him to do it.] It is a nice song, even the songs he makes to tease or mock me are nice songs, but that ones one of the best he's done I think.

You protect me just fine, love. [He reasures him.] Sometimes bad things just happens, is all. The fact that I do not need to pick myself up from them all alone is a comfort enough for me. [But he's not so sure he want's to dwell alone anymore after this. Himring will always be special to him, a place he'd built and made a home out of, but he does not know if he still have the strength to be so far from Fingon any longer. Violations like these were not healthy for elven souls, he's not sure he'd hold up as well as he did now when their bond was stretched by such a vast distance.]
thedayhascome: (02)

[personal profile] thedayhascome 2025-05-07 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
They do also quite like my arms. [Which is true, but his tone is gently teasing. It is not that he doesn't see them or their value but he truly had no designs on anyone but Maedhros. It was for the best, anyway, he is only likely to make a widow of a wife who is left behind when he goes to war.] I cannot listen to it long. It is still too real to me, even all these centuries later.

Bad things do not just happen, bad people and fell beasts design them and I have allowed you to be without my protection for too long and look what has come of it. I am sorry, my love.
holdshisown: (pic#17466718)

[personal profile] holdshisown 2025-05-07 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
They are very nice arms. [He does not blame anyone for looking at them and wanting to feel how it would be to fall into their embrace. It was just too bad that they were exclusively for him when it came to such things.] I understand that, though I fear Kano feels a bit affronted by it, it was a traumatic thing for you. [Just because Maedhros sees getting his hand cut off as a gift does not mean it was not a terrible thing for Fingon to have to do.]

No, I suppose not. It was not any fault of yours that this happened though, love. Even so I think I'd feel better for it to dwell with you from now on. I don't think I could bear the distance any longer.
thedayhascome: (15)

[personal profile] thedayhascome 2025-05-07 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
It's all the archery. It gives you great arms. [And the whole being a Noldo of the royal line, so on and so forth, barely removed from the first elves compared to the many generations that have since come after them.] I did not feel terribly brave when I did any of it. I wept. He can be affronted if he pleases, but I cannot bring myself to sit through the whole thing even though I know it is a masterpiece. [For to Fingon, he was never the hero in that tale. If anyone was it was Manwë who granted him Maedhros and both of them a safe escape.]

It is not my fault I had to cut off your lovely hand either and yet I still feel the weight of it. [And the haunting feeling of his dagger cutting through his flesh and muscle.] I am sorry it happened but I am not sorry to keep you close, I admit.
holdshisown: (Default)

[personal profile] holdshisown 2025-05-07 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
And great shoulders. [He adds cheekily.] I know. It was a terrible thing you needed to do that day, I don't think anyone who was not actually there could ever truly understand how horrible that was for you. I was half-delerious then, it's easier for me to hear of it for it seems farther away in my mind. But for you, who had to be conscious and aware for all of it? I understand why that still hurts you. [It was a tale, he's certain, only the two of them will ever truly understand in full.]

I know, love, I know. [And he does. He does understand why Fingon feels that way, he's just never going to stop telling him that he himself does not blame him in the least for either thing.] I would not want you to feel sorry for that. I want you to keep me close, now more than ever.
thedayhascome: (05)

[personal profile] thedayhascome 2025-05-07 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
All the better for dragging my much larger cousin around with. [He taps him gently on the tip of his nose.] And for you it was a reprieve after so many years of hell. [For Fingon it was the true discovery of what hell could be, even though he was grateful to get Maedhros back. As much as he had seen on the ice and in the battles after, he had not been prepared for seeing his love so tortured and diminished.] But Kano could romanticise anything if he tried. And I will not deny our people the tale since they love it so dearly.

You will have to peel me off of you if you wish to escape my company and protection.
holdshisown: (pic#17466718)

[personal profile] holdshisown 2025-05-07 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
You are very good at that. [He chuckles.] It was. It was freedom, a momentary pain at most and one that gave me more than it took. [And he'd been so used to horror then, conditioned to simply accept it as how things were. Fingon, he thought, for all that he had seen had not been so worn down that he'd see something like that and be so numb to horror as to find it just what is to be expected.] It is a skill of his to do so. The people like the song, I know, and that is well and good, I just wish they didn't sing it quite so often around you. They mean well, I'm sure, but it does pain you and I do not like that.

Perhaps I'll prefer to wrap you around me like a blanket instead.

As swift as Thorondor flew I was sure you were going to bleed out. I had no silk to stitch you with or fire to cauterise the wound. You bled through all of my clothes. I do not know how it is that you woke up at the end of all of it. [Everything had been so red. He shudders, then tries to regain full control of himself. He didn't have time to have feelings of his own. Not really. Not when the world was so dire. Maybe some day in Aman he could stitch himself back together.]

They do not mean any harm. They think it is my greatest feat. And I suppose they are correct. Heroes are supposed to enjoy being honoured.

I would like that.

[personal profile] holdshisown 2025-05-08 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
That must have been terribly frightening for you. I'm sorry you had to go through all that alone. [Alone because Maedhros had been pretty much unconscious at the time. It hadn't been anyones fault, of course, but Maedhros still felt bad about Fingon having to deal with that all on his own.]

I know. They just want you to know how much they admire you, a wish I can certainly relate to. I'm just sorry that it is a thing that brings you pain.

So would I. Nothing would make me feel more safe and cared for than that.
thedayhascome: (06)

[personal profile] thedayhascome 2025-05-08 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Not quite as frightening as the prospect of leaving you there. But Thorondor has often been a friend to me, he brought us back, he spared father's body the indignities that were surely to come and scarred our great foe in the process...

You do not need to be so full of apologies. I can bear it and happily enough. I would not take the joy from them just because for me it was smeared with blood.

You slept quite well last night. [Especially all things considered.]
holdshisown: (pic#17653484)

[personal profile] holdshisown 2025-05-08 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Thorondor is a brave and noble soul, he's done our people many a good turn when he did not truly have to risk himself in such a way. I'm glad he took uncle away from there, he deserved much better than what they would have done to his body in that place. [Fingolfin would not have deserved to have his body mutilated and put upon display as it surely would have been.]

It is not apologies so much as it is sympathy for your hurt, love. You are a good and kind soul, I hope you know, to care so deeply for other peoples happiness like that. It's one of the many, many reasons I love you so dearly.

You were there. I always sleep better when you are there. [It made him feel like he was safe, that all was right, no matter how dire the circumstances.]
thedayhascome: (09)

[personal profile] thedayhascome 2025-05-08 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes I selfishly wish he would come watch over us sometimes and not just Turu, yet I am also glad that Turu has the eagles. I would rather lay myself bare than my brother. [Things were so... complicated in this world. It was selfish to want for himself, yet he did, but never as much as he wanted for his siblings to stay safe and well–something they seemed to struggle to do when out of his reach but they were much too old to force back under his wing.] I am sure father would have claimed to not care if he was with us to say so... but it would have been a blow. I could not have born it. I would have gone for him. [Part of him thinks that, as much as how little his father deserved the disgrace is why Thorondor rescued his body. To spare Fingon the same fate, or at least hold it off for a time.]

I do not know how to be otherwise. There is little hate in me except for towards Morgoth and his monsters. I do not even hate your brothers. I could never hate my own people for trying to celebrate me, even if they unintentionally stick the dagger in deeper.

Then you will sleep much better going forward. Even when I am not tired I enjoy being able to hold you.
