ANGST MEME

Sometimes we all want to play some angst and see just how far our characters will fall.

- Post your characters, name and series in the subject along with any preferences.

- Go to random.org and roll.

- Play!

1. just depressed.

Things are tough, you're feeling worn out, or whatever the case, you're depressed. You need help or someone else thinks you do anyway.

2. abandoned.

You were left behind by everyone you hold dear and now you're forced to see how well they've adjusted, how happy they all are while you're screaming inside.

3. sick.

Cold, flu, or something even worse, all you can do is lay back and let someone take care of you.

4. fight.

You've been fighting nonstop with the other person and it just keep escalating.

5. break up.

You're being broken up with and they won't reconsider... Damn.

6. separated.

For some reason, you've been separated from the other person for a long time.

7. kidnapped.

You've been held captive for how long now? Maybe they've been torturing you even, using your blood to write ransom notes, threatening to cut off fingers to send next, etc. Rescue is on the way though, right?

8. beaten up.

Just because someone didn't like you or maybe they wanted something you had, whatever the case is, you're coming home sporting some nasty wounds and bruises.

9. jealousy.

You just have this undeniable jealousy suddenly and you need to let it out.

10. cheated on.This goes beyond just suspicion and you have full on proof of what your lover has done. How do you handle it?

11. apathetic.

You're not sad, you're not happy, you just... don't feel much anymore. The sparkle of life has gone right out of you and you're just going through the motions now.

12. addicted.

Drugs, alcohol, whatever your drug of choice is, you can't fight the draw and you can't draw yourself out of the hole, but the other person is going to try.

13. bad romance.

You know this isn't good for either of you, but you can't stop now.

14. fear.

Nightmares, the feeling someone is following you, etc. You can't shake the feeling.

15. insanity.

You're seeing things and hearing them, waking up only to realize you've done things you don't remember or you're in a place you weren't before. You're losing it and you don't know what to do.

16. guilt.

It's eating you up inside and you have to tell someone about it now. You want to be punished and you won't take no for an answer.

17. loss

You've lost something dear to you.

18. wild card.

[ She lifts her hand to touch his smile with her fingers, tracing his lips before her palm caresses his cheek. ]

I don't care what anyone else calls me as long as I have you.

Hawke...

[He gives up and closes the distance between them to kiss her.]

[ She leans into the kiss, wrapping an arm around Anders' neck to draw him closer. This isn't what she expected when she had stormed into the cave to give him a piece of her mind, but admitting what had always been there was a far better end to the story than she could've ever imagined. When they lean back, she kisses his lips again, chaste and quick, her cheeks red. ]

You can't tease me like this and expect me to resist forever, Hawke. [He reaches up and brushes his thumb across her cheek.] This will be a disaster but I can't live without it. I will bring you nothing but disaster and hate.

It's not teasing if I intend to follow through, is it? [ Smirking, she leans into the touch. ] I've brought you enough trouble. Might as well let you return the favour.

You've never been trouble. Well, except for the Deep Roads. I would enjoy avoiding those for the rest of forever if at all possible.

I'll do my best. I don't see any reason why we'd have to go near them.

[ Until his Calling, of course, but - they had years until then. ]

Would... Will you kiss me again, Anders?

[He doesn't bother with words because he can kiss her instead. Kissing her is a much better option.]

[ A much better option indeed; she pulls him closer and leans into his kiss. If they were anywhere else she would have him up against a wall now, but a dank cave is hardly the place for that kind of thing. Instead, she revels in just being able to kiss him, to touch him and hold him in the ways she's wanted to do for years. ]

[The timing was terrible, the place was completely inapporpriate but Anders finds the kiss is perfect. He holds her face in his hands, cradling her like something precious. She is to him. She's all he has, the only good left in his life.]

[ It's impossible not to press herself against him, to draw him as near as she can possibly get as she pulls him into a harder kiss. They were on the run, in hiding, and in a desperate situation, but Hawke can't remember the last time she was this happy. ]

[He groans against her mouth, stunned by her fervor. He has never imagined anyone wanting him like this, especially after Justice and the Chantry. Every Templar in Kirkwall could ride down on them and Anders wouldn't notice.]

[ The groan is enough to push her into motion, pressing him back a little so she can deepen the kiss, hand gripping at the back of his neck before she has to pull back to breathe and gather her thoughts. When she looks up, she's flushed but smirking. ]

I suppose that's what happens when you give in after years of temptation.

[He stumbles a few steps, surprised by her sudden force. He had almost forgotten how strong she was but the push is a good reminder.]

Now is a truly bad time for us to give in, isn't it?

It's as good a time as any.

[ She reaches for his hand, leaning up and wrapping an arm around him. She hadn't meant to make him stumble or anything, but it got out of hand a little. ]

I love you, Anders.

I've loved you for years.

[He admires her strength. It's one of those things he loves about her.]

And you never said a word.

[ She laughs, leaning up and nudging their noses together. ]

Then again, neither did I.

I didn't think to. I gave up on that part of my life when I took on Justice.

[He rubs his nose against hers.]

Everyday I kept waiting for you to choose Fenris or Sebastian or Isabela, someone who would take you from me.

The part of your life that allowed you to love?

[ She can't exactly complain, leaning closer and just... Holding him. She'd thought she'd lost her capacity for love when her family died. ]

And yet I always came back, didn't I?

The part that allowed someone to love me. Who could love a monster?

[He's been told that his whole life, abominations are monsters. He knew what he was choosing when he took on Justice and when his anger took over he truly understood what being a monster was.]

You did. Maybe the Maker hasn't abandoned mages completely.

You're not a monster. Not to me, you never have been.

[ She shakes her head, frowning as she does her best to make him understand. ]

I'm not sure that's the case. He has stuck you with me - maybe it's a cruel joke. 'Deal with the Hawke and we'll see what we can do'.

[He tilts her head up so he can kiss her gently.]

If this is his idea of cruel he has vastly missed the mark. You are a blessing, Hawke, the only light left in my life.

[ Leaning into the kiss, she softens. ]

You've always been a light in mine. Since Mother you've been the only thing keeping me going.

Now we will keep each other going. I will carry you when it gets to be too much... though I don't think I can lift your sword.

[He looks at her massive weapon and shakes his head.]

No, I definitely can't lift that.

[ She laughs, resting her head against his shoulder. ]

You may carry me and I shall carry my sword.
