The (Platonic) Love of my Life Meme

The (Platonic) Love of my Life Meme

They're your partner, your soulmate, your other half... but you don't think of them *that* way. This is a meme for playing out intimate platonic relationships.

Post with your character, canon, preferences, etc. Tag around. Despite the wording of the meme, Golden Trios (or more) are fine too. Here's some prompts to get you started:



1. Love at First Sight: Your eyes met, and you knew with the tugging at your heart that this person would be your best friend for the rest of your life.

2. Better as Friends: You have mistaken your platonic bond for a romantic one, and are trying to make it work as lovers (and failing). The love and trust is there, but there's no attraction, no spark. When are you going to realize the truth?

3. Wedding Bells: The two of you want all the legal benefits of marriage -- or maybe you're being pressured to marry someone, so you pick your best friend. Just don't let anyone know you don't plan on consummating.

4. Confession: You've been friends for a while, and it's time to let them know the truth -- that your feelings for them go beyond friendship and into platonic partnership. Here's hoping they understand.

5. Under One Roof: You live together. Sharing a bed, arguing over furniture, going for groceries... can your relationship withstand being around each other nearly 24/7?

6. New Life: The two of you are going to raise a child together. Maybe you're adopting, or using artificial insemination. Maybe one of you conceived a child with someone else and the other one will serve as another parent figure for the child.

7. Not my Lover: The two of you are constantly mistaken for lovers -- how could you be so affectionate and intimate with each other without something romantic or sexual going on, after all? You might even get in trouble for this perceived relationship.

8. Three's a Crowd: One or more of you also has a romantic partner in addition to your platonic partner, and they're getting jealous of all the time you spend with your platonic partner. They may even accuse you of cheating, and you may have to choose between the two relationships.

9. Friends Never Say Goodbye: It's been a good run, but it's time for you to part ways. Perhaps you're simply breaking up, or someone has to go far away. Whatever the cause, your memories of this person and what you had together will never fade.

10. I Love You (Intensely and Platonically): Wildcard. Combine prompts, or make up your own scenarios.

Nothing had gone to plan (but then, when did anything go to plan?). Aramis was tired, dirty and wet when they finally made it back to the Garrison.

Porthos and d'Artagnan offered to take the horses and Aramis clapped a hand on Athos's shoulder. At least they were alive and well, for the most part, only a few bruises between the four of them. "Shall we have some wine?"

Athos stands under the rain, his head tilted down, letting his hat shield his face from the icy water. His mood has been sour from the moment he woke up, hungover and broken-hearted as usual, and needless to say that the utter catastrophe that was their mission for the day has done little to improve it.

Aramis's grip on his shoulder is warm and friendly and Athos only considers the question for a second before giving a slight nod and leading the way to the nearest tavern. Athos is not a chatty -or even pleasant- drunk but Aramis knows that, so he doesn't bother protesting anymore.

No, he is hardly pleasant, but someone needs to watch out for him and this night, the duty falls to Aramis.

When they are seated in a corner booth, their backs to the wall so that they can see all the comings and goings, Aramis smiles at the barkeep. "Wine, please," even as he shakes the water from his hat and sets his cloak so that it might dry a bit.

"Well," he attempts, voice dry. "That was a good day."

If Aramis dares voice such a thought, Athos will argue that he is a grown man and perfectly able to watch out for himself, even when drinking himself into oblivion.

He settles in the tavern, still looking sour though he is feeling warmer already and the promise of wine lifts his mood a little. He lets out a silent snort at Aramis's comment, raising an eyebrow in answer. "I particularly enjoyed chasing the Duke under pouring rain," he agrees, his tone just as dry.

"Though," Aramis admits with a smile, "seeing him fall into the mud was rewarding in its own way."

When the wine comes, he pours them both a nice half-glass, then raises his. To friendship.

With an agreeing hum, Athos raises his glass and quickly downs it. The wine is cheap and sour, and he immediately reaches for the bottle to pour himself another drink.

Athos is methodical about this too, and he knows exactly how many glasses of wine he will need to drink for the world to go slow and blurry around the edges. He doesn't care for Aramis to see him drunk yet another time, either.

Letting the silence stretch for a moment, Aramis finally says, "you know that I am your friend through thick and thin .... "
