( what you can never have )

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.

8. 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?

9. 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.

10. Not Compatible: Your personalities or jobs make it so it's hard for you to be together.

11. 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.

12. Not Ready for Love: You took a vow (or celibacy, of chastity, of dedication), you're married to your work, or you just don't want to be involved with anyone. Too bad!

13. 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?

14. Hurt Before: Your heart has been broken, and maybe there's been no time to heal. But here you are.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[She's 23-24, so 20+ OTA. Castmates (especially JINUS), crosscanon, crossmedium, assumed CR, AUs, OCs etc all always welcome!

Not interested in 6. Canonly she's a rich af k-pop superstar, demon hunter and also a half-demon but I'm up for all the AUs too like princess or whatever else. Could also be someone's bodyguard or something instead of being the one, who needs the guard but either role on any of those situations.]

[ 😌 zabuzas welcome but open to aus. he is young, poor, a bodyguard, swore himself to someone else, from a clan that did a bunch of warcrimes, a merc, a tool with no feelings, etc etc just so many options ]

[ demon, aspirant in a religion she knows is bullshit, literally under contract with the scion of the religion's founding family and he's her codependent ride or die. down for a good time but would be taken off guard by romance. some degree of 12 seems inevitable but she works for a lot of these prompts. characters 20+ sounds good! ]

( he's the emperor of austria, so warring factions, soldiers on the battlefield, bodyguard and already spoken for would make sense by way of canon - but am willing to try anything except the family prompt. no smut. can do modern au, if needed, but prefer historical. info in journal. )

[Info/prefs over here. 8 (and 7) are just canon for some oblivious shenanigans set pre-IAC lol but some of the rest can easily be AUs~]

[ open to a great many ideas and any of the above prompts! either with canonmates, or other magitech-style crosscanons. also open to some crossmedium with GoT (et al.)! wiki here but the tl;dr is he is the prince of a secondary country, ranked below the crown prince of another country, and bitter af about it. he is also canonically disabled, with a magitek-powered prosthetic arm (because he did something he shouldn't have bc he was bitter), . ]
