bakerstreet | Falling angel

You're an angel. Not metaphorically, not in the "you're so sweet" way; you're a literal angel - ethereal energy form, wings, and all. But you're not just any sort of angel. You're a guardian angel. Guardian angels are a caste, or choir, created with the sole purpose of protecting those they're assigned to. Each angel is created specifically for the person they guard, with a few exceptions. The only thing you're programed to know is duty.

Naturally, being invested in your charge is expected. What if your feelings for them veer away from "dutiful" into "fondness" and then...something else? Angels aren't supposed to know love, at least not in the way those in the living realm do. Still, nothing is as certain as it used to be, and you're not so sure of your purpose. All you know is that you want to keep your charge safe.

Can you guarantee that, now?

Use the RNG to determine your fate.

Prompts

Watching: You've been watching this person as long as both they and you have been in this world. Maybe over years, maybe suddenly, things aren't the same when you look at them.

Guilt: You realized that these pesky emotions are growing and you know this is against everything you know to be true. Your kind cannot love, and even if you could, this is wrong. You have known this person their entire life and thinking of them as more is unacceptable.

Terrible Angel: You're not angelic at all and fail neatly at almost all the benchmarks, but when it comes to the one you guard, you don't folly.

Righteous Fury: Usually, angels must be removed and impassive. You see your charge mistreated, though, and you lose control.

Relegated to Guardian Angelhood: You used to be much more important, of a greater choir of angel. Then, you screwed up and got pushed down into the ranks of guardian angel. It would be easy to be bitter towards your charge. You aren't, for some reason.

Can't Be Seen: The person you care for the most can't see you. It's typical angel protocol, yet you can't help but want to make yourself noticeable.

Affecting Your Work: Your growing and sometimes erratic emotions make your job harder. You're getting sloppy. You may even allow your charge to be hurt or allow yourself to be conspicuous.

Jealousy: You saw your charge with someone else and it...it really ruffled your feathers. Maybe you lost your cool. Hopefully, that won't mean bad mojo for the other person involved. No one would be any wiser if you made their head more attractive to bird droppings, though.

Kiss: Can you kiss someone when you technically have no lips? They might just feel a pleasant breeze; still, you're kissing them, and this is...nice.

How They'd Like You to Look: You've decided to make yourself known to them, and you want your appearance to be to their liking.

Inhabiting the Vessel They Love: A bit more sinister than the above, but also somewhat practical. They already love this body, anyway.

Revealing Yourself: You're taking the big step and coming into their life as an actual, tangible presence. Of course, "I'm your guardian angel" rarely gets the response you hope.

Stay with You: You promise that you'll stay by their side always, now as a physical companion.

Confessions: No matter the costs, you're revealing your true feelings.

Deciding to be More: It's dangerous, it's unheard of; however, both of you want to become more than just angel and charge.

Intimacy Without a Corporeal Form: They know you're there even when you're not in human form, and they want to touch you. This can be a smut option, but it doesn't have to be.

Intimacy With a Corporeal Form: You're beginning to learn what it's like to be intimate with them while you're in this new form. Again, this can be a smut option, but it doesn't have to be.

Wings: Letting someone touch your wings is the ultimate show of trust and, in angel terms, one of the closest things you have to sexuality.

Called to the Mat: Your higher-ups have learned of your sins. Now, you're on trial. Will you deny your charge?

Not Officially Yours: Problem number one: you're in love. Problem number two: it's with some other angel's charge.

Second Chance: As previously stated, most guardian angels are created for that one special person. However, some angels whose charges have died young are allowed a second chance. Will this new person ever replace your old?

Protection: Now is time to do the guarding - by any means necessary, especially now, after realizing just what your charge means to you.

Fallen: Because of your sins, you've lost favor. You've been stripped of your heavenly grace and you've fallen.

Immortal: You must deal with the implications that your charge will die and you will be sent on to a new heavenly job.

Failed: You didn't do enough. You let yourself slip, and now your charge is dying. They were more than just a charge, so you must do what you can to let their soul pass on in the most peaceful manner possible. But can you let go?

[ not the angel, but it'd be hilarious if he had one. m/m for shipping! ]

(well she has a messed up history with religion so go on, fuck her up lol. info on her journal.)

(A very exasperated and worried guardian angel trying to stop Claire from doing Claire things would be funny. BUT it'd be equally as interesting for Claire to experience permadeath only to become someone's guardian angel.)

[ weeeeeell, he's a demon, but semantics. ]

[He could really need a guardian angel with the amount of stuff he gets into.]

[Actual angel here, and not happy about being demoted to guardian angel. He used to guard Eden, now he guard some stupid human.]

[He's a whitelighter/witch hybrid. Whitelighters are like guardian angels for witches and people of significance. He could do both, but he did promise his aunt Paige to start taking on charges.]

[More than likely the charge who is (unknowingly) a handful for their guardian angel. Workaholic is a life and mindset.]

[Open to either role.]

[either]

(She is actually an angel. Currently living in Hell, not technically fallen. Though it would be amusing if someone was assigned to watch over her.)

[ would truly be one of the most annoying angels ever. but open to being guarded and a temptation instead. ]

[ pretty sure his guardian angel deserves some kind of award for keeping him alive ]

[ooc; either role. open to au's of all kinds.]

[ Most likely the charge, but I can flex! ]

[Angel-blooded if one wants to bend the rules...]

[Willing to discuss but more than likely the guardian.]

( either - though he would make a very pointed and exasperated guardian angel )

[ lucy can't sleep.

despite making it back to the correct year, lucy finds it hard to relax. every time the lifeboat is sent out, there's another close call, another chance for garcia flynn to end her life and everyone else's, too. whether it's witnessing lincoln's assassination, reliving the alamo, nearly being stranded in 1754, or meeting jesse james, lucy is exhausted and, despite everything, she can't sleep.

throwing off the covers on her bed, she lets out a groan of frustration and steps through the silent house, hoping a glass of whiskey will help settle her mind and her nerves. what she's not expecting is someone standing in her study. ]

Who are you? Get out. [ sure, she's wearing nothing more than a t-shirt over her underthings, but she lifts up a book, looks at it, sets it down, then picks up... a candle. ] Don't move. Who are you?

[ with the repeated questions and contradicting statements? she's fine. ]

[ being a guardian angel is--a unique honor. That's the way it's presented, at least, a way to give back, to protect someone, to do something, and Arthur, bless him, has never been good at not doing. Of course, Arthur did not expect to be Guarding someone who can time travel.

If he was capable of having a headache, he would have a perpetual one.

As it is, he feels like he spends just as much time gluing proverbial feathers back in his wings as he does keeping her alive. It's always a close scrape--but they make it through, even if she doesn't know that she's got someone on her side. Well; someone beyond her teammates.

And it's maybe all worth it, for times like this, when she's back home and safe and they (she) lives to fight another day. ]

What? [ it takes him a moment to realize she's talking to him. She's not even supposed to-- ] You can see me?

What? [ it's stupid, but lucy turns and looks behind her to make sure he's talking to her because what? ] Of course I can see you. You're standing in my study.

[ she throws the candle at his chest and, when it hits him square in the middle of it, she lifts the book and gives him a warning look. ]

Don't move. [ the whole situation feels like it's a comedy. ] Did Rittenhouse send you?
