May/December

[groupon]

MAY/DECEMBER ROMANCE A May-December romance is any where there is a larger than average age difference between the partners involved. Sometimes this is met with disapproval, sometimes it is arranged, sometimes it is abuse of power, and other times it just happens and it's no one's fault or doing. This meme focuses on those relationships. - Post with your character, preferences, and note their ages (or an estimate if no canon age is given). - Please don't forget to note how much of an age gap you're comfortable with! - Look around, tag. Have fun! Make up a scenario or make use of the prompts below. beginning 1. confession - you've just confessed your love. How is it received? 2. coerced - they have more power than you and you have no choice but to go along. 3. arranged - this was an arranged union and may not have had anything to do with your choosing at all. 4. secret - it would be forbidden or frowned upon, but you can't resist... middle 1. difference - does the age difference make things difficult? 2. domesticity - just a day in the life... 3. experience - one of you has more experience than the other, but at least they're eager to teach. 4. argument - you're fighting for one reason or another. end 1. breakup - things aren't working. 2. discovered - your forbidden secret has been found out and judged. 3. another - one of you has fallen in love with another. 4. happily ever after - against all odds, you've made it work.

((Sure! I'm afraid I'm a bit canon blind - way behind on Gotham but we can make it work!))

Beginning - 4 (I love Harry)

They'd arranged to meet somewhere in the lab, out of the way with none of the little cameras to tell people what was going on. She'd heard Barry talk about it once. He'd mentioned something about the other Harrison Wells and the Reverse Flash's suit. The other Harrison. She remembered the odd looks when she'd asked why they kept calling him that. She'd heard the story about how he'd been some guy from the future who'd stolen Harrison's face for his own.

Maybe that's where it began. Even Ollie thought of him as the double of the monster who'd killed Barry's mom. No one seemed to agree when she pointed out that the monster and Harrison had never been the same person, even the Harrison who was supposed to be in their world.

But now...she wasn't sure whether he was planning on letting her down easy or actually doing something about the sparks that were between them, but nothing could happen if she couldn't find the right place. She peered around the next corridor and muttered something under her breath about arrogant scientists who couldn't design a sensible building and instead had created a maze.

Rogue | X-Men/Marvel | OTA

[theycalledmeacurse]

[Younger party, in late twenties. Fine with most any age gap, she cares about who a person is inside thanks to her powers showing her the worst of people. Post-DofP AU used for cross-canon, prose pref.]

Elizabeth | BioShock infinite Burial at Sea | ota

[oiseau_ou_cage]

Technically could be either

( older party. )

Jane 'Forty' Andrewson | OC | F/M or F/F

[demscrawnyhips]

(At just barely 19, she's definitely the younger party)

[dangerous_dame]

((OOC: I'm pushing the terms of the meme a little, but I suppose you could argue that Dawn is in her late twenties.

Either way Dawn here is a shapeshifter. So I'm figuring Jane discovers that and they hit it off. Dawn makes enough money that she could allow Jane to live with her and away from her father.

The thread itself could consist of them first moving in together and maybe involve that experience gap. Especially with the fact that Dawn can create things such as tentacles and the like.))

[nippinatyournose]

[Jack never planned to attend University after he finished high school that summer. He hadn't taken the tests, prepared the applications, or toured any campuses, because what was the point? He didn't want to spend the next four years or more studying. He wanted to move into his own apartment and do things.

Alright, so working as a clerk at a supermarket wasn't exactly fun, but stocking the shelves wasn't so bad. He liked talking to people too, and figured if he kept at it, he might eventually save up enough money to try... something else? Okay, maybe he didn't have a plan other than surviving just then. That meant working, and spending a lot of his spare time with his new 'boyfriend.' He wasn't too sure if that term technically applied to them, but as far as he knew they were exclusive. It fit well enough.

Hans was still in school. Ten years older, and he was still in school. The thought alone made Jack a bit dizzy sometimes. Odd though, that even though they'd been seeing each other for a few months now, he'd never actually visited Arendelle University where Hans was preparing to graduate with a degree in business. Business or something more specific? Details.

Since that Monday Jack had the day off from work, he decided he would take the opportunity to sneak into a potential student tour group and try to find Hans while he was on campus. He caught a glimpse of him in a lecture hall when they passed the business building, and immediately broke away from the tour group. It wasn't hard to stroll into the building with a group of other students and then take a sharp right down the hallway. When one student in the lecture opened the door to leave for a break, Jack slipped silently inside and sneaked up toward the back of the hall.

The other students might not see him, but Hans definitely would, especially when he took one of the empty seats and pretended to look absolutely fascinated by the topic of discussion.]

Libra | Fire Emblem Awakening | OTA
