Mutual healing



Mutual Healing Meme
Healing doesn't come quickly, whether the need comes from physical or mental wounds. But you're trying regain your strength - and yourself.

People, as a general rule, are kind, or at least not outright inflammatory to you, it seems. Still, you just can't connect with them. No matter how nice, how caring, they don't understand. They've never experienced anything like what you've gone through, or they're not like you in a way that lets them see what you still go through; they have no frame of reference. Sure, they have sympathy, but it's not the same. So there's no real connection, despite any friendliness. It's so easy, then, to feel detached...

...until you meet them, in this place of both death and healing.

They may not have been through the exact same struggles, they may not be exactly the same as you, but they know what darkness is light. How they handle this fact may be better or worse than how you do, yet you can see yourself in their actions. And for once? There's connection; more than that, too. Slowly, you can feel yourself opening up towards them, and then, falling for them.

Is this something your used to? Will you fight your feelings, or will you jump at the opportunity to be with someone who can begin to get you? You may have little choice in the matter, as your instincts may just reach out to be with whatever compatible contact you can get. That's better, in the long run, though. Who else could have wounds like yours?

  • Essentially, it's what it says: a "romance," in the loose definition, or "shipping" meme for characters who have been through the wringer or have hangups.
  • Reply with your character, preferences, and any info you want to include. Remember, the more information, the more taggable you are.
  • Respond to others.

[Basic gist: Largely faction-neutral Orion mercenary in her mid-thirties, can be adapted into most any Star Trek timeline point for ease of RP, flirty, easy to get along with, but extremely observant. Pilot, mercenary, ship captain. Also comes in various Starfleet AU flavors as desired. Kink List.

Hang ups about romance and such? Well. This meme was made for her.

( permissions + worldbuilding | Open to potential shipping lines with characters of any and all genders who are 25+. Lonán has a secret soft spot for characters that aren't quite entirely human or are otherwise a bit non-normative, but I'm taking all comers.

He's convinced he's got his shit handled, but possible avenues for exploration can include everything from feeling out of place from a very young age in his home and community, a nearly life-ending medical crisis in his twenties, and adjusting to an entirely new way of life thereafter. )
