What you won't do for love

This Won't End Well

In our bones, we all know this kind of relationship.

Maybe the ending was written long before either party showed up. One of them might've made a terrible decision and spent the rest of the story paying for it. Or, despite all good intentions, the universe simply took one look at two people’s happiness and said, "absolutely not."

The endgame isn't making it to the finish line. No. Our goal here is far, far worse. We need to make everyone miserable when the whole love falls apart.

How to play: Roll, pick, combine, ignore the numbers entirely. Whatever gets your characters into the most emotionally expensive situation possible.

Prompts

You're destined to kill them.
You keep finding each other in every lifetime. It's never enough.
The relationship is real, but one person's memories aren't.
Everyone knows how this ends except the two of you.
The ghost of your lover never actually left.
Every time you choose each other, something else has to be sacrificed.
The apocalypse showed up halfway through your love story.
You were supposed to be enemies. That lasted what, all of a week? Good going, hero.
The bargain for your soul seemed reasonable at the time.
One confession. Five minutes too late. Somebody’s getting married or getting dead.
You can save the world or you can save them.
The curse can be broken if you stop loving each other.
One of you isn't meant to survive this story.
You spend years trying to prevent the tragedy, only to discover you've been walking straight toward it.
The ending doesn't change. Everything before it does.
Wildcard.

Are we still doing Dante Must Die Mode? If you'd like an extra twist, decide how the story ends before the first tag. Then write the whole thing like maybe you've found the version where fate finally gets tired and goes home.

(It won't. But it'll hurt more if you believe it.)
