You're All I Know

[picturethat]

an amnesiac shipping meme


You have no idea who you are.

One day, you just woke up from the darkness, confused and alone. You barely remember your own name, much less why you're here...or where here is, even. Your own body is strange to you, and if you have some kind of power or ability, that must be frightening. Perhaps you're angry at everything so new and different, lost in this strange world you don't understand or know your own place in. Maybe you feel the need to hide away, lest you be crushed by everyone out there who is sure to hurt you.

You are so, so alone.

Only you're not. There is one person, one person who's found you and taken you in. They've shown you kindness, looking after you while you can barely look out for yourself. Out of the goodness of their heart, they've shown you things, taught you things. Most importantly, they're giving you a new sense of identity. And for that, you've begun to appreciate them. More than words can say, actually. You care for them so deeply that your heart hurts around them. Is that normal? What is this feeling? You can't imagine life without them, and leaving them- That's something you could never consider. Is this lov...

The word's on the tip of your tongue, but you can't figure it out, exactly. What you can figure out is that you want to give everything you can to the person who's done so much for them. You want to stay by their side and make them happy. You want to protect them at all costs.

So no one would blame you for getting confused when you see them with someone else or getting angry when you believe they're in danger. And certainly it's only natural for you to get frustrated when you want to tell them what you think of them, what they mean to you, and you can't figure out what to do. Perhaps following instincts will do?

One thing you know is that this bond and these emotions will never go away, not even when you learn who you are.

RULES
- This meme is for examining what happens when someone with no memories, potentially someone with powers or skills that could be dangerous at the very least, develops deep feelings for the person who's taken them in or is helping them realize their past. It can be played as awkward, adventurous, tragic, cracky, fluffy, truly romantic, or anything in between. You can play at the beginning, the part where emotions have strongly developed, or even when the amnesiac has regained their memories and must now deal with new feelings.
- Reply with your character and preferences. Mention if you'd like to play the amnesiac, the caretaker/help, or both.
- The role of caretaker does not have to always be beneficial. Maybe they caused this condition in the first place so the other character would be dependent, loving, and loyal towards them.
- Reply to others and play.

Are you up for cross-canon, maybe?

The last battle had been a success. Starkiller had fallen and with it, a good chunk of the momentum the First Order had gained. Now, they limped back into the Outer Rim and left the Resistance to lick their own wounds as well as savor their victory. The price for victory had been a high one, but they were still there, still surviving to fight another day.

Finn was slowly recovering and had been sent on for specialist training in intelligence. Poe was proud of him and Rey and made sure to keep in touch with them as much as time and work would allow. Between Rey's training with Skywalker, Finn's training and missions, tactical planning and patrols for Poe, it wasn't as often as he liked.

The last thing anyone expected was for an emergency call to go out to Rey and Master Skywalker. Poe had been injured on a mission and while he'd been recovered, he wasn't well. The physical injuries could be healed with bacta treatments, but his mind... oh, that wasn't quite so easy. As it was, they'd had to keep him sedated more often than not, thanks to the simple fact that he didn't know where he was, or who anyone else was. He'd been told his name time and again, but even that seemed too much for him to handle.

[ooc: I don't mind at all!]

[thesefirststeps]

Despite the huge victory, there wasn't really any time to celebrate. There was always something else to do, something important to focus on - Finn had his recovery, which he was getting through like a champion. And Poe? He was always busy, if his messages were any indication.

And Rey, for her part, was just as busy with her Jedi training with Master Luke. Sometimes, she found herself overcome with the desire to return to D'Qar to help (and to see her friends again, of course), but she knew that the path that she was on was just as important.

And then, the call, and they responded immediately. The thought was that if Poe wasn't around so many people and too much stimuli, he might recover his memories faster than in an environment that was always busy, frenetic and always on alert. It has been difficult, all the days with no recognition in his eyes, but Rey held the hope that eventually, it would come. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but at some point.

She's taken up residence in the chair by his bed, just watching. She could take solace in the way his chest moves as he breathes, and the color that's returning to his cheeks. Maybe today he'd remember something - anything about the man that he is, the friends that he has that are worried sick about him.

Maybe.

[ooc: Much appreciated!]

John Watson | BBC Sherlock | m/m

[captainwatson]

[desecrated]

It's been three weeks. John still wasn't awake.
John doesn't know, John - Sherlock doesn't know what condition he'll wake up in. There was a lot of blood, a lot of it. Head injuries are always tricky, but the fact they'd forced him out of the room more than once while the monitors beeped urgently.

He rubs his cheek. Barely been home to shower and shave and certainly hasn't slept.
He watches the brain activity monitor and then back to John.

"You're going to be alright," he says, trying to sound confident, but - he doesn't feel that confident.

[captainwatson]

John remains still with no reaction to the words of the man behind him.

Inside his head, everything is thick and heavy with a dark fog he cannot disperse. Where is he? Why is everything so muffled and yet suffocating him? If there is ever a flicker of light then it's too far for him to reach.

Help...Please, someone. Anyone. Help.

-

The doctors are weary when talking to Sherlock about Dr. Watson's condition, ever since they recommended that taking him off life support might be the best option. There is little chance of someone with this amount of brain trauma regaining consciousness. But the pale, heartbroken young man refuses to listen or to accept.

All they can do is wait.

[[ooc: Be home in 7 hours.]]

[desecrated]

[[ooc: np]]

Taking John off life support when he hasn't even woke up seems wrong.
The monitors only tell so much. They don't know the slight twitch in John's fingers that might only be muscle memory, but it's still memory. If John's in pain, then - then he can decide.

With anyone else - yes - it might have been merciful.
But John's a fighter, he wouldn't want to die, he wouldn't. Maybe if he couldn't function, yes - but they don't know that he can't, they just assume.

He keeps dreaming about John, covered in blood - begging to be saved.
Save me. Don't let me die... don't... it's all your fault...

It's almost three in the morning when John hears the door buzz. He gets out of bed, wondering who on earth is going to be at the door at this hour. Mycroft? He's usually courteous enough to send a text before kidnapping John these days. Especially since Sherlock went missing.

John quickly gets dressed and puts his gun in his waistband. He's never forgotten the time he was conked out and kidnapped by a Chinese man who was definitely not there to deliver food.

Still squinting, he goes downstairs. He can hear the rain hammering against the building. Storm Maria, the media are calling it. She's supposed to be gone by the morning.

John opens the door, blinking to make sure he's seeing right.

Not Mycroft. Not one of his agents...They usually tend to wear clothes. This man at his doorstep is stark naked and shaking, hunched over, wet hair over his face. It takes John a couple of seconds to believe this isn't another dream.

"Sh...Sherlock?!"

[[ooc: Felt the need to be rescuer!John. Tags are gonna be a pain for a while as I'm mostly on late shifts.]]

[desecrated]

There's a hoarse inhaled sound, rather than a word. He's shivering and cold and he just knows... here. Must be here. He doesn't know if it's the right address. He thinks it is... maybe?
He's cold, he's so c-cold...
He looks up at the man in - the place he's supposed to be. He coughs a few times, shivering, not sure how to ask if he can come in or if the man is going to scream and slam the door in his face like the last four houses have.

[[ooc: np. I have yet to hear back from the background check. It says "additional work" - dunno what that means.]]

[captainwatson]

"Bloody hell!" John exclaims and grabs his hand, tugging him quickly inside and shutting the door. "Christ, Sherlock..."

He holds the man's arms, quickly seeing the scars on 80% of his torso. Long cuts and welts and third degree burns.

John hopes to God this is a nightmare.

"Upstairs, quickly now." He orders, not harsh, simply firm. Assuring, strong hands guiding his shoulders; "You're gonna get pneumonia."

You're alive. Fuck, you're alive!
