I have died every day waiting for you.


I have loved you for a thousand years...


Some say that if a pair of lovers die together in tragedy, they will get another chance when they are reborn. Even if the two of you keep losing each other, you'll get to meet again.

This meme is that meeting. For the first time? For the hundredth time? That much isn't clear. What is clear is that on this, your seeming first meeting -

Everything rushes back to you. Memories, emotion, and all the comes with it...including the memory of how you two died. Overwhelming, isn't it? Some people find it hard to accept, for good reason. What will you do? You can't just bring it up, they'll think you're crazy! Maybe you don't want to bring it up, as you refuse to believe it yourself. And even if you do believe it, that doesn't mean you have to embrace it. You're your own person, after all. You refuse to love someone merely because of who you were in the past.

Or maybe you can't help but let these feelings rise to the surface because they're too strong. No matter what, you can't repress it. In fact, the more you two meet and spend time together, the more you find yourself falling back into the old roles...and making the old mistakes. That isn't good, though; there's one more thing. One of you, when you first met, had a vision about how the two of you would die this time.

You can't let that happen. Not again.

  • Comment with your character and your preferences.
  • Feel free to do a modern AU of your character. Assumed CR and AUs are a must here.
  • Don't feel obligated to stick with first meetings. Play that the characters have known each other for a while, are trying to have a relationship while trying to be their own unique selves, not having a relationship because THE PAST DOESN'T DEFINE ME, or even trying to avoid death in an adventurous fashion!
  • Reply to others.

...I'll love you for a thousand more.

[Neato! Two questions: first, can you cope with slow tagging, because alas, real life. =( And if so, is there a particular historical period you'd like to play with or shall we just modern AU it up?]

[ I actually tend toward tagging of the leisurely persuasion, so yep! just keep communication up and I'm happy as a clam, real life is more important than RP. I'm pretty good with any period as well! Are there any that you're really jonesing for? C: ]

[If communication falters, know that it's because real life; I've got a baby and often don't have two hands free for typing, argh. I will keep tagging but there might be a week or so between them sometimes. =( Period-wise, I'm not sure! The ones I know about aren't ones I think I can push Hawke into, if that makes sense. Actually, I'm happy to do a modern AU for once if that suits; it's not often there's a meme where I can make that work.]

[Right, an idea happened! Would modern day Ezio still be an assassin (with or without the capital A)? If so, Hawke could be working as a bodyguard (personal security, whatever) and there could be a run-in. Hawke wouldn't be working for someone she considered unworthy (read: Templarish; Hawke would make a decent Assassin in some ways, really), but she could still end up in the right place at the right time to stop (or try to stop) Ezio from finding his target. And then shenanigans with fighting that stops suddenly when they actually get good looks at each other. ;) Or if writing action doesn't appeal, post-shenanigan shenanigans as they both go "...what the hell just happened?"]

[ Oh! Oh yes, I really love that! He could be the private hire hitman type instead of having an association with the Brotherhood. :/a Contract work... I love writing action! And I understand about real life, it's cool. :3 ]

[Oh neat, as soon as it occurred to me I loved it too. And raah for action scenes. ;) Do you mind starting, though? I already have four starters I'm trying to work on, gaaah.

Also, that is the most adorable icon, I cannot lie.]
