The person that you love is far away. Gone. Dead. Out to the store for longer than you expected them to be. The person at your door looks just like that person. They sound just like them. They might even act a lot like them. But that might be your imagination. Be careful not to project someone else onto the person just because they look the same. The exact same, give or take a few imperfections.
Or, maybe you don't know. Maybe they came by with the intention of taking advantage of their similar appearance, just to get something out of you. How long will you be fooled? How well will they pretend? What will you do if you realize the truth?
If it comes down to it, no matter how much you try, do you even see them when you look at their face, or do you see a person who isn't there at all? Can you even admit it to yourself, if you don't?
Can you live with it, if you admit it?
(This is a meme for interacting with twins, characters with the same actor as another, characters who have an uncanny physical resemblance to each other, and alternate versions of characters. Their face should be close enough to be considered 'identical' if they're not the same 'person'. If they're an alternate, then their personality should be distinct enough from the original that a reasonable person would consider them entirely separate people. Tidus and Shuyin or Future Trunks and GT Trunks, not the two John Crichtons or two different Doctors.
Make up connections to identical faces if one doesn't already exist. Or, run with the alternate universe concept.)
Optional Prompts:
1: My replacement puppy - Your loved one is gone. The best way to move on is to fall in love again...with someone that looks exactly like the last one. Nothing could go wrong.
2: Stealth mode - Your loved one is gone. They know it. Do you know it? Did you expect them back already? Were they wearing that before? Do they seem odd? Surely not!
3: Stranger in my bed - Sex. Maybe they used their similar appearance to get in bed with you. Maybe you used their similar appearance to relive something you lost. Maybe neither of you intended it, but it's still what's happening. It's like having sex with a stranger again only...they're actually a stranger.
4: The face of my enemy - Loved one? Sorry, someone got deeply confused. You never loved the other version of them, you hated that person. And now this person looked just like that person. And kind of acts like them, too. Can you separate your feelings, or will you just punish them for things someone else did? Do you even care?
5: Betrayed by love - They used you. They manipulated you. They betrayed you in a way that your beloved never would have. Of course they did, because their face and their voice are nothing but cruel lies. Just like the things they'd said to you before. Are you angry? Hurt? Are you angry at them for their betrayal, or because they betrayed you with that face?

Comment with your character, info, and all the good stuff. If your character's a teen, you're golden. If you need to AU it, go ahead. Age down - either completely, including mental age/canonpoint, or Seventeen Again style.
