the mutual captivity dependency (romance) meme

No matter how hard you fought, how subtly or overtly you rebelled, or how many times you tried to escape, you ended up at this point all the same: you're a prisoner. Perhaps you're just a regular, run of the mill captive, perhaps a hostage, a science experience, a weapon to be used, yet, no matter what, you're not free.

But you're also not alone.

There's someone else confined along with you, who you met through your mutual imprisonment. The only thing you two may have in common is that you're both trapped here - and that's enough. The two of you grow close (it seems you're closer to them than you've ever been to anyone, but that could just be the situation); soon, something begins to start between you, tiny and delicate. You can't speak to what that something is, not in a place like this, but you know you want it to last. They are another reason to keep going.

Captivity, of course, has a way of stripping everything from you, including reasons to live. Surely, it is only a matter of time before this small - and still somehow world encompassing - comfort is taken from you...

...no. Not this time. They've taken all you have, right down to your freedom, and it stops now. You won't let the person who's become most precious to you in this hell be stolen away.

No matter what.

HOW TO PLAY

• Comment with your character and preferences. Are you open to AUs and assumed CR? What are your limits? Given the subject of the meme, there's likely to be triggering material here. Do you prefer very dark fare or a light at the end of the tunnel scenario?
• There's one prompt that could be smut, but feel free to play it in others if you're open to it. However, I'm going to be posting this as a smut meme on TLH later this week.
• Reply to others. RNG.

THE ORC AND THE PIE MEME



Monte Cook, famed tabletop game designer and writer, once created a scenario so simple, pretty much anybody could pick it up and play it. Put simply: You are in a ten by ten foot room. There is a delicious pie in the room. Said pie is being guarded by an orc. You are hungry. It is your duty to find a way to convince the orc to give you the pie.

Of course, it doesn't HAVE to be a room of those exact proportions, but the basic scenario stands in this meme:

1. You, the poster, are the "orc."
2. Your respondents are the "hungry adventurers."
3. Thread poster: don't let them get the pie. Responders: get that frickin' pie.

I hope you weren't expecting anything more complicated than that.
