Arthur Eddington/John Smith – gentleness. Also available in lightly edited form at Teaspoon.
I usually put my author's notes in my kinkmeme master post, but I want to post some here as well. I got called out on the anonmeme for this story, deservedly so, because despite my best efforts, it's out of character: Eddington would never try to seduce Smith like this. In fact, when I first heard there was an Eddington/Smith prompt on the meme, I had the opposite seduction scenario in mind, and a way to play it I thought might work with their characters – but it turned out that wasn't what the prompt called for. I'm pleased with the results, given the confines of the prompt, but maybe someday I'll go back and write what I really had in mind.
