The Forced Separation/Reunion Meme

Your characters have been forced apart -- be it by destiny, circumstance, or death. The only thing that's certain? It wasn't voluntary. Now, thanks to chance, luck, or fate, you meet again.

1. Tag with your character. Include name/series/preferences in subject line.

2. Roll RNG to determine the duration/cause of the separation.

3. Play out the separation, the reunion, or both.

4. Be excellent to each other.

Length

1. One Week

2. Two Weeks

3. One Month

4. Six Months

5. One Year

6. Five Years

7. Ten Years

8. A Lifetime

Reason

1. Death - One of you died -- or that was the general consensus, anyway. Whether you've been brought back or you were never really dead in the first place, who can say? All we know for sure is you're alive and kicking -- more or less.

2. Argument - The two of you had a falling out, a fatal difference in opinion that resulted in the more or less permanent parting of ways. Now, time has passed. Maybe you see things a little differently?

3. Torn Apart - Neither of you wanted to be split up, but circumstances beyond your control have forced you apart. Parents, demons from hell, a job change, whatever it was, there was absolutely no stopping it. Just when it seemed like you'd never see them again -- there they are.

4. Lost - You've been wandering on your own for so long, displaced and confused, with no real memory of how you got there. Somehow, through sheer dumb luck or the assistance of a stranger, you've been put back on the right path.

5. Life - Who can really tell when it happened? People just grow differently. At some point, you fell out of touch, missed a few phone calls, whatever it was, life got in the way, and they drifted out of your life almost without your noticing it.

6. You decide - There are other scenes and circumstances that can separate people. Come up with your own or choose one.

[He's seated in Lestrade's desk chair, a year after he went off the building, fingers steepled.

When the light flicks on, he smiles.]

Get in and shut the door.

[ This is, of course, the very last thing he expects. Then again, he isn't really expecting anyone to be sitting alone, in the dark, in his office. When Greg Lestrade opens the door and turns on the light, he's sipping a cup of coffee.

When he hears Sherlock's voice first, he looks up... and nearly drops his coffee. Eyes wide, he shuts the door, leaning back against it for a moment. ]

... Sherlock? What the bloody hell...?! You died!

Obviously not.

[He answers, but not in the most unkind tone he's ever used with Lestrade.

He can be forgiven for mistaking this one.]

I merely came extremely close.
