The "Should Never Be Together" Meme

[gameofbones]

the "should never be together" meme.

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. 10. 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? 11. 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. 12. Not Compatible: Your personalities or jobs make it so it's hard for you to be together. 13. 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. 14. Not Ready for Love: You took a vow (or celbacy, of chastity, of dedication), you're married to your work, or you just don't want to be involved with anyone. Too bad! 15. 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? 16. Hurt Before: Your heart has been broken, and maybe there's been no time to heal. But here you are. 17. WILDCARD

[Princes are betrothed at birth. Matthew is probably no exception, and even if he weren't, Orihime's pretty sure he'd never be allowed to go whisk a baker's daughter off of her feet for a lifetime of royal wedded bliss. It's also almost guaranteed that she'll be the one in charge of baking his wedding cake when the time comes, and when she thinks about it, her heart twists and aches.]

[Nonetheless, no matter how much she knows they can't form any sort of romantic attachment, she can't help brightening immediately when she sees him in the market. She's peddling fresh bread, rolls, fruit pies, and meat pies, bundled up against the colder weather. It's much warmer tending the ovens, but she can withstand a crisp autumn morning, especially if it means she gets to talk to the prince again.]

[It was as obvious as the sun in the sky. There existed a need, a desire, a gap to be filled with her company. Yet, as much as her heart pulled to be closer to the warrior from pulse, young Tifa couldn't bring herself to take the plunge. Time and time again they had come to the end of this road, holding hands and standing before the door to their future. Fang would eagerly reach for the knob, but Tifa was the first to push it close.

And so this went, again and again. She was fearful of the differences they had, far beyond the shame of loving another woman. Though it wasn't a physical problem, there was a ever looming age gap between them. It didn't exist in her legs or her lips, but in the way she looked at Tifa. She knew Fang didn't mean it, but her eyes had seen things that only Tifa could imagine. It caused a bit of distance, feeling as though she would never be adequate enough for the slender and protective Fang.

They sat, as they had many times before, upon the couch in Tifa's makeshift apartment. It had become a regular thing for them to spend time with one another, regardless of the tension still between them. Though she could feel the issue rising, she pretended to ignore it, instead she tried to change the subject if it came close to being brought up.]

So.. Any good hunts this week?

[No one ever said she was good at avoiding the subject. She didn't know what she'd say or do if Fang asked again. A person can only deny themselves happiness so often before cracking under the pressure of desire.]

((I really dislike the new 52 I know, a DC fan that despises the new 52 is such a rarity, and I've been itching to write a thread to send-up this mis-matched pairing for months. But, first: I want to have your permission to collaborate on such a feat, before I can roll and start it up. So, will you be my partner-in-crime?))
