How many days 'til Valentine's Day?


THE CRACK PAIRING MEME


crack pairing


An unusual relationship of any kind of fandom (i.e. books, television shows, movies, ect.) that is unlikely to happen.


OR

Randomly take two characters… they don’t have to know each other, they don’t have to show ANY signs of a relationship, and hook them together. That is a crack pairing.


We all know them. Fandoms have fostered these little gems of shipping since the early days, and now, they can even be serious contenders in even the most hostile of shipping wars. Maybe they're absolutely ridiculous and only "for the lulz." Perhaps they make perfect sense...if you squint. Whatever the case may be, these so-called "crack" pairings are not canon and they're nowhere near as popular in fandom as the big fanon pairings.

Most of the time.

Of course, it's important to note that a lot of the time in RP, pairings are always crack pairings. Especially crossover ships, which canon purists would deride purely for being impossible. Still, in memes, that's less likely to happen because people either stick with canon ships, fanon ships, or close CR because of the lack of opportunities for development that games offer.

Not here. This meme is for ALL your ridiculousness, all your high school fangirl dreams, and just plain not being sorry for your ships. Think these characters would be cute together? Go for it. That character have adorable icons and that all you know about them? Ship it, by all means. Here, the reasons come after the desire.

RULES
- Comment with your character and preferences. If you want, you can include a one sentence or so blurb about your character. But blank comments are fine.
- Tag to others.
- RNG for prompts. Prompts cannibalized from random memes.

Sweet
1. Can't deny it - you've tried to run from your feelings for so long and you can't do it anymore. It's time that you show the object of your affection exactly how you feel. Hopefully you don't lose everything in the process!
2. First time - it's your first time making love together. Is it awkward? Do you go all out or is it spur of the moment?
3. Accidental - you didn't actually mean to confess or kiss. They overheard you or it was an accidental kiss. Maybe you were just really drunk and let it slip!
4. Close as can be - you just want to make love and you've found a spot where it's just you and your partner, however you want it to be.
5. Happily ever after - somehow, you've made it work and you're both happy together, even if it meant you had to run away together.
6. Appreciation - show appreciation for your lover! With words, a look, or whatever your choice way to display affection is!
7. Cuddling - nothing wrong with a day of cuddling...
8. Vacation - you're on a vacation! Wherever you want to be. Road trip, amusement park, Grand Canyon, etc.
9. Family - you're visiting family! Maybe they find out about your relationship, maybe they already know, or however you want to play it out! Maybe you've got news you're starting a family by getting pregnant, adopting, or even getting a new pet.
10. Acceptance - someone who disapproved of your relationship before suddenly approves. How's that feel to you and your lover?
11. Surprise - you've planned a surprise! What is it?
12. Date - first date, second date, hundredth date, etc. What are you doing for it?
13. Reunited → it's been awhile since you've seen each other and nothing can ruin this moment.
14. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Angst
1. Conflict - you've just had a fight with your lover over your relationship or how you handle it. Can you find it in yourselves to forgive each other?
2. Cheated - your lover has cheated on you and you need to confront them about their reasons why and if you can work it out.
3. Found out - you've been found out by someone close to you and they're less than thrilled with your relationship.
4. Disgust - though they play along with it, they're secretly disgusted by the relationship they have with you and it finally comes out into the light.
5. Guilt - one of you is feeling guilty over your relationship, knowing it can never be truly normal or more than a secret.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Comfort
1. Soothing touch - what better way to sooth your lover than to make love to them and show them that no matter what other people say, you're not going anywhere.
2. Fight for you - whoever has found out about your relationship is trying to hurt your lover and you're not going to let them.
3. Won't let you go - you need your lover to realize that you won't let them go, no matter what.
4. Back together - you broke up for a bit, but whatever it is between you two, you can't stay apart.
5. Injured - your lover was injured because of your relationship and it's time to patch them up.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Twisted
1. Forced - you know your partner isn't interested in you like this, but you keep them going along with the relationship no matter what. Coercion, blackmail, whatever it takes.
2. Won't take no - their lips might say no, but you're not listening.
3. Control - you've given them some kind of potion to get your love interest to love you in return and they have to do whatever you say.
4. Recorded - you're not really interested in this forbidden love affair, but you must do it or you'll face some tough consequences.
5. Insult - you're cornered by those who disapprove of your relationship, hearing how filthy you are.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Sexy
1. Rough - you want it rough and hard tonight. Bites, scratches, bruises, etc.
2. Toys - you want to try some props tonight... toys or fuzzy handcuffs.
3. Bondage - more extreme. You're tied up, used, forced to orgasm, whatever.
4. Make up - make up sex is the best sex.
5. Public - you're feeling a little wild so why not a blowjob under the tablecloth in a restaurant or sex in the car?
6. Interrupted - oh yes, oh yes, oh--who the hell is that watching us?!
7. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Ending
1. Left alone - you woke up to your lover trying to slip away in the night because of the strain of the relationship. Do you let them go or try and fight for it?
2. Torn apart - others are keeping you apart after they found out about your relationship, giving you only minimal contact. What do you do?
3. Ending fight - the argument has turned dirty and ends with one of you storming out.
4. Parting ways - both of you have decided to part ways. It's just so much easier.
5. Always love you - though you'll always love each other, maybe it's time the relationship goes back to being strictly platonic. It would be easier... or maybe that's just how one of you feels.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

[He finally forces himself to face her. Leaving may be necessary, but it's certainly not easy. The least he can do is look her in the eye as he says his goodbyes.]

I... [Swallows the lump in his throat, regaining his composure.] I would like that very much. Assuming, of course...

[Assuming it's possible]

...assuming an opportunity presents itself.

[ Those words of his finalized it. Finalized how unlikely it was that they would ever meet again. But... what should it matter? He's just another person to come and go. Just another very brief friendship formed within a short period of time. Why should did he have to be so different? Why?

Clutching her hands a bit tighter, she desperately tries to fight back that emotion building up inside her chest; while it doesn't quite cause her expression waver, it does reach her eyes. ]


Yes, of course. I... I understand.

[ Once she's fairly positive that her smile cannot look any more forced, she finally averts her gaze down to the floor. What comes as a surprise is that she hasn't formed a small circle of ice around her feet yet. Yet. Chalk it up to her better hold on her powers, but she's far too distracted to be proud of herself. ]

In that case... [ Sigh. There's so much she wants to say, but judging by his expression and forced eye contact, this isn't any easier for him. No need to make a painful goodbye even more painful. ] ... I guess this is goodbye.

[ She forces herself to look up at him again, though her smile is gone. Even as much as she tries to force it back into place, it's no use. ]

I suppose it is. Though...

[He rubs his thumb between his fingers, and he shouts at himself to stop. However, his mouth is ten steps ahead of his brain.]

I won't be leaving. Ah-immediately, I mean. What I mean to say is-

[And now he's tripping over his own tongue. Edgeworth clears his throat, straightening up]

...I might have a spare moment or two before I go. Assuming you do, that is.
isolated_queen: (❄ No right no wrong)

[ There's no doubt in her mind that any spare moment they spend together is just going to make things even more difficult when he actually has to leave, but a part of her can't quite make herself look that far ahead when she hears those words. Though her expression doesn't quite change, that sinking feeling comes to a temporary halt in knowing that they have more time. Even if it's only for a few minutes. ]

Of course. I have no pressing matters to attend to this morning.

[ Even if she had, they would have been easily dismissed for a later time. ]

[The same thought lurks in the back of his mind, but it's too late to take back his words. Though, it's almost...nice, taking the time to say a proper goodbye for once. He's been in and out of his friends' lives for so long that he's become almost like a ghost. Perhaps this time will be different.

Though if they're to make the most of their time together, they shouldn't waste it in the hall. Edgeworth clears his throat, and holds out his arm, like a proper gentleman]


Shall we, your majesty?

[He still can't muster a smile, but that doesn't mean much; smiles don't usually come easily to him. For what it's worth, though, some of the tension has left his posture, and while he isn't quite relaxed, at least he isn't as stiff as he was a moment ago]
isolated_queen: (❄ Conceal don't feel)

[personal profile] isolated_queen 2014-02-13 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's some initial hesitance, but Elsa is quick to brush it off. Unclasping her hands, she reaches to take his arm while simultaneously moving to his side. She keeps her hold on his arm very slight, a preventative measure just in case her emotions take hold of her powers. At the very most, her touch would only freeze a small area of his sleeve and not his skin as well.

But that's not going to happen because she's fine. She's fine and everything is fine. Even if she can't quite force herself to feel like it is. That aside, she does manage another very small smile as she glances up at him once they start off down the hallway. ]


It's fairly warm outside. We could go to the courtyard if you would like.
