Should Never Be Together


the "should never be together" meme.

When two people come together in a relationship, it's a beautiful thing. What can be wrong with love, right? Right? Except when the union is completely and totally wrong, for whatever reason. Then things can get a little messy.

How To Play
1. Comment with your character, listing their name, canon, etc, along with any preferences.
2. Comment around to others, using the RNG to determine the scenario. It doesn't have to be a lovey-dovey relationship, obviously. There can be hate, sorrow, lust, whatever.
3. Thread! Have fun! Do things!

Scenarios
1. Warring Factions: You belong to rival organizations, armies, clubs, etc. Whatever it is, you're not on the same team.

2. Soldiers on the Battlefield: Or maybe you are on the same side, but this is the wrong time and the wrong place. Plus, attachments cause distractions.

3. Bodyguard and the Guarded: Just like the movie with Kevin Costner! One of you has been hired to protect the other for some reason, and feelings are starting to grow. Are you a professional and cut things off, or do you give in?

4. Prince/ss and Knight: Similar to the above, but with a whole 'nother level of wrong...one of you is royal. Courtly love is okay; still, don't forget your place.

5. Enemies: This vendetta is personal, and you totally hate this person! Don't you? Perhaps you're maybe just rivals, or something as serious as superhero and villain.

6. Family: The ultimate taboo. This person is related to you, so there's no way you should indulge this desire, even if it's the most pure love there ever was.

7. Age Difference: The years between you should keep you both at bay, but it's easier said than done.

10. Teacher/Student: Teachers and students have a unique bond, and to corrupt it is a dangerous thing. Will you dare to act on emotions that could put you both in a destructive place?

11. Already Spoken For: One or both of you are already involved with someone else, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Just know that you can't have your cake and eat it, too.

12. Not Compatible: Your personalities or jobs make it so it's hard for you to be together.

13. Not Compatible...in Another Way: You're both different species, which means you're either afraid to take your relationship to a physical level or you can't because of differences in biologies.

14. Not Ready for Love: You took a vow (or celbacy, of chastity, of dedication), you're married to your work, or you just don't want to be involved with anyone. Too bad!

15. Rich and Poor: One of you has the money while the other is from more modest means. Can the 1% and the 99% ever be bedfellows, literally?

16. Hurt Before: Your heart has been broken, and maybe there's been no time to heal. But here you are.

Wanda thought she would hold a grudge against Hawkeye after they had their first encounter. She didn't appreciate feeling pain after he hit her with that device that electrocuted her. But he managed to get on her good side after he gave her that pep talk when they were fighting together.

She found herself drawn to him out of all the Avengers. Which is why she considered him her mentor even though he was the most normal of all the Avengers. She kind of liked his normalcy; it balanced her weirdness. He usually didn't stay at the Avengers Headquarters, so when she saw him she called out to him. "Clint?"

It's true Clint hasn't been around lately—not that he ever really is but, you know, new additional to the family means he's been spending whatever time he's not here out on the farm. It had been a nice reprieve, if you could call changing diapers at all hours of the day or night a reprieve. At least there no one was actively trying to kill him. Not intentionally.

But the word still turned and there was still work to do.

He'd only just flown back in to headquarters. So much so there's still a duffle bag of stuff hanging over his shoulder. He stops in the hallway when he hears his name being called. Wanda doesn't quite get a smile—he's careful with those—but she does get a friendly nod. "Heard you'd stuck around."

Wanda wasn't sure if Clint trusted her yet. Steve gave her a chance, and so did Natasha. She didn't care if she ever got Tony's approval. She still held a grudge against him. But she would like it if Clint trusted her. He was a huge motivator for her while they were fighting Ultron. The only other person that ever influenced her like that was Pietro.

"Yeah, this is the only place I probably fit in," she admitted. Without Pietro she had no one else. And she didn't want to be alone. "How long are you staying?" she asked.
