bakerstreet | The Should Never Be Together Meme

the "should never be together" meme.
	When two people come together in a relationship, it's a beautiful thing. What can be wrong with love, right? Right? Except when the union is completely and totally wrong, for whatever reason. Then things can get a little messy. How To Play 1. Comment with your character, listing their name, canon, etc, along with any preferences. 2. Comment around to others, using the RNG to determine the scenario. It doesn't have to be a lovey-dovey relationship, obviously. There can be hate, sorrow, lust, whatever. 3. Thread! Have fun! Do things! Scenarios 1. Warring Factions: You belong to rival organizations, armies, clubs, etc. Whatever it is, you're not on the same team. 2. Soldiers on the Battlefield: Or maybe you are on the same side, but this is the wrong time and the wrong place. Plus, attachments cause distractions. 3. Bodyguard and the Guarded: Just like the movie with Kevin Costner! One of you has been hired to protect the other for some reason, and feelings are starting to grow. Are you a professional and cut things off, or do you give in? 4. Prince/ss and Knight: Similar to the above, but with a whole 'nother level of wrong...one of you is royal. Courtly love is okay; still, don't forget your place. 5. Enemies: This vendetta is personal, and you totally hate this person! Don't you? Perhaps you're maybe just rivals, or something as serious as superhero and villain. 6. Family: The ultimate taboo. This person is related to you, so there's no way you should indulge this desire, even if it's the most pure love there ever was. 7. Age Difference: The years between you should keep you both at bay, but it's easier said than done. 10. Teacher/Student: Teachers and students have a unique bond, and to corrupt it is a dangerous thing. Will you dare to act on emotions that could put you both in a destructive place? 11. Already Spoken For: One or both of you are already involved with someone else, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Just know that you can't have your cake and eat it, too. 12. Not Compatible: Your personalities or jobs make it so it's hard for you to be together. 13. Not Compatible...in Another Way: You're both different species, which means you're either afraid to take your relationship to a physical level or you can't because of differences in biologies. 14. Not Ready for Love: You took a vow (or celbacy, of chastity, of dedication), you're married to your work, or you just don't want to be involved with anyone. Too bad! 15. Rich and Poor: One of you has the money while the other is from more modest means. Can the 1% and the 99% ever be bedfellows, literally? 16. Hurt Before: Your heart has been broken, and maybe there's been no time to heal. But here you are. 17. WILDCARD

[No smut plz]

[It's an undercover assignment, the kind he usually hands off to Lois or one of the other senior reporters, but a suspicion that Intergang is behind several attempts, two successful, to take out doctors at the prestigous Princeton Plainsboro Hospital in New Jersey and Clark finds himself playing bodyguard. To a doctor. A pretty doctor. A pretty, intelligent doctor. A pretty, intelligent, principled doctor. She's older, because that's the way his luck runs, but less of a chore than it should be to stay out of the way and keep an eye on her. Sometimes he has to dart out and attention to certain duties of his own, but there are always eyes on her when his own can't be there, and, somewhere in the last few weeks, he's fallen for her.

Hard.

The official investigation, which he is not actually a part of, seems to be wrapping up and focusing on other staff members of the hospital, but until he knows she's no longer a target, he can't leave. Today he's taking a quick cigarette break outside the emergency room entrance, because that's what hired bodyguards do, watching the snow fall, and giving himself a very stern lecture.]

[No 6/16, and keep in mind, it will not be a happy fluffy thread. He'll use someone's love for him against them and mindfuck them to hell and back. As always: Walking trigger warning.]

het only.

[ she doesn't want the distraction of romance. uhura's got her eyes set on the enterprise and she needs to be on top of her game and more importantly on top of her classes and her work load to get there. romance will have to wait — she certainly isn't planning on falling in love or even lust with anyone.

much less with an instructor.

spock is all the things that she wants in a man: he is intelligent and calm, he respects her and her space and her ambitions and she has learned so much simply by following courses he teaches, by talking to him. he is also very much unavailable and that she wants him — something quiet that has grown into what she realises is more than a crush at this point and definitely more than just lust, something that has snuck up on her unexpected and denied for the longest time — doesn't matter.

she tells herself that, but it does nothing to calm her heartrate when she runs into him (not literally, fortunately) in the corridor on the way back to her quarters from the library. inclining her head in greeting. ]
