Look Past the Blood on Your Hands

[asoftermeme]

Look Past the Blood on Your Hands Red's in your ledger or you're making your way towards a crimson page by your very nature. Did you simply do what you had to do in order to survive? No one could understand how you lived. That could be just what you tell yourself, though; really, you might have enjoyed your crimes. You're not proud of some of what you've done, no matter what, and there's a part of you that will probably never heal. If you were someone else looking in, you'd never be able to stand looking at you, much less stomach you. But someone does all of that willingly. They can look past the blood on your hands and the bad decisions weighing on your shoulders. It's you they care about, not your history. Actually, they may even love you, though you can't begin to fathom why. Comment with your character, preferences, and whether your character is the one with guilt or past sins or the one looking past all that. Reply to others. Have fun.

[...I have no idea what these two would be doing, I just love Kenshin. They have a certain amount in common, though. Much blood, much wandering, many revolutions. (I have a Sanosuke, but I don't do that ship, I'm afraid!)]

[[HAHA No worries there, that is not something I ship either! Honestly, within his canon I only ship him with Tomoe or Kaoru ;; I'm lame.

But I'm certain we can come up with something! Maybe they met up somewhere in Kirkwall and wind up going off to do something together because of reasons. Or I'm willing to hear any ideas you've got if that doesn't sound interesting to you.]]

[Whew! The only non-canon RK pairing I can do really is Sano/Misao, I have a soft spot for that. And Soujiro/Misao. Otherwise the canon ones make me too happy to deviate from. ;)

Anyway, if you're familiar with DA this becomes much easier! I play Hawke as going wandering on the run after the end of DA2, so they could meet up anywhere. Hawke has that unfortunate knack for getting in trouble everywhere, and Kenshin could get caught up in it. He might do better in Thedas than she would in Meiji Restoration Japan, though. (trains? what?)]

[I feel much the same! I'll admit I never thought about those two ships before though!

I am! I have played DA2 and started a bit of DA:I but I only know Origins by reading about it since I was basically shoved at DA2 first. It has been a bit since I played any of it though so I am a little fuzzy on the details. I agree though, fitting him into Thedas would be a LOT easier, and since this is a meme we've got that extra fudging wiggle room.

I am fine with something as simple as them both being in the wrong (right?) place at the same time. Seems about right for both of them, in all honesty.

ALSO, I apologize that I did not get back to you sooner! Yesterday was my birthday and I'm heading to a con this weekend so I've been a bit busier than I anticipated -- as long as you don't mind slow replies for a bit I'm quite interested in doing something still!]

[I don't like them as much as their canon counterparts, but they're interesting variations. =)

Anyway! I like this plan, it's a good plan. Details can be kept vague so long as it's set post-DA2. =) Would you be willing to start? I'm a bit behind on tags and trying to catch up. *sheepish* And don't worry about delays, I'm afraid I can get a bit slow too due to real life interference, but I won't forget, I promise! And tanjoubi omedetou!]
