It's the end of the world as we know it...

[pippilongsockings]

Ruinous Romantic Tension a post-apocalyptic shipping and smut meme Calamity makes strange companions, but when the world's gone topsy turvy, beggars can't be choosers. The world has ended, apocalypse is nigh, zombies are here, the evil empire has won, or you've crashed into a hostile planet...all roads have lead to the same ugly place. Survival has become your only goal, and two heads are less likely to be on the chopping block than one, so no matter if you're a people person or a lone wolf, you've found one other survivor - or they found you and gave you little choice - to be an extra lifeline and source of safety. Your life before fades away into the gray. What remains is the drive to live through this, day by day, though you at least have someone to watch your back and help you with the grueling tasks before you. Of course, the mind is a strange thing, which means even when tunnel vision comes standard with your troubles, thoughts and feelings can get jumbled. Relying on someone is a form of intimacy, perhaps an ultimate form, and could lead to dependency or other deep, conflicting feelings...feelings the two of you may just keep shoving deep down because that line of thought is far from safe. Not the right place. Not the right time. Repress it. Until you just can't anymore. tl;dr: "Two people are partners in a post-apocalyptic or other dark/"rough" setting who have been traveling together for a long time, depending on each other for survival. They've also been ignoring the unresolved sexual tension/attraction between them. One night while taking shelter, they finally give in and have sex even though they shouldn't, or they worry about how it will affect their partnership."

[ Rey's info. up for most scenarios, 'crashing onto a hostile planet' (SW has so much ext. universe material for this), First Order decimates everything, or even just a survivalist scenario on Jakku. m/f, canonmates only for shipping/smut. PM if you'd like to plot! ]

Kylo Ren raised his head to the sky and scowled at the latest lightning storm raging over Malachor. He huddled tighter into his ragged cloak, and turned his scowl on the young woman sitting on the other side of the small heating unit.

Here right at the foot one of the jagged cliffs that dominated the barren landscape, they weren't quite as exposed as they would be in the open field, but they would have to find a cave if they wished to sleep. The storm beasts were always hungry.

"This is your fault, scavenger," he muttered bitterly.

It had been supposed to be his moment of glory. Go to Malachor in secret, discover the ancient Sith knowledge hidden there, become strong enough to both challenge his Master, and rid himself of the connection to her. Instead here they were, trapped on this hellhole of a planet, their ships grounded, all hope for rescue long gone. They had to make it to the old wrecks of past visitors to this world, and scavenge what they needed for repairs.

"If you hadn't followed me... I hope you're satisfied. We're both going to die here."

[ Much prefer a M/F for shipping or smut things and I'll cheat things over to more platonic if anyone has some ideas for it! Good times (well bad times, end times) ]

ooc: so if I understand correctly, you're up for platonic things with guy charas? if so, let's

Hinata Hyuuga | Naruto (Road to Ninja)

[ M/F for shipping/smut probably but I'm open to much of anything if you want to fudge platonic. She can help a lot here being ninja prodigy and all. ]

[moredread]

[ ooc: Holy Grail War gone wrong, or other apocalyptic scenario. Fate/bullshit optional but that gives several options regarding Servants teaming up in order to survive, or different Master/Servant contract choices. I can just as soon leave all that off but it'll be harder. (I'm also aware of details that came up from F/GO but I don't actually know jack shit about the plot, so I'd prefer to leave that out altogether re: canonmates.)

AU, crosscanon, cross-medium welcome. F/F for heavy shipping or smut, but M/F for gen or borderline (depends on chemistry really). Any questions, hit me up! ]

[ota for gen, m/m for shippy]

Fallout AU incoming!

[reliablelies]

[The only Wasteland settlements that ever achieve any level of success are those with the heaviest fortifications and best trained soldiers. Asgard, located somewhere in the region formerly known as New York, was one of the most powerful East Coast settlements due to the mandatory weapons and bare-handed training for all the residents, as well as the high walls guarded strictly by constantly running turrets and sharp-eyed guards who rotated shifts ever few hours.

Careful management has allowed Asgard to prosper economically, the safety offered to traveling merchants making it a major trade hub in the region. Those who live within the walls consider themselves extremely lucky. Most never step outside that safety their entire lives.

Not everyone is content to stay in one place day in and day out, however. Loki, as the town leader's younger son, knows he'll never find the privacy he sometimes craves if he doesn't sneak out of town now and then. Sometimes he wants to be alone with his pre-war books, other times he wants to practice throwing knives at the mutant wasteland creatures.

Today is the first day he's decided to take another person along with him through the one defect in Asgard's defenses that he's used for sneaking out each time. Yes, Matt may be blind, but he's also proven to be a shockingly talented fighter when given the opportunity. Why should they worry about danger?]

There's an abandoned shack not far from here where I go when I sneak away. You'll be the only other person from Asgard to ever visit.

[He leads Matt along eagerly by the hand, not because the other man needs to be led in such a way, but because it gives him an excuse for physical contact between them. Never before has Loki felt more justified in his hand holding than now, when they're outside the walls where they most certainly should not be.]

I want you to know where it is. Just in case. [Of what, he doesn't know. Again, this is just an excuse to spend time alone with someone he quite likes.]
