Took You In

They were on your front door, in your yard, or on the street, confused and clearly in no position to fend for themselves; in a worst case scenario, they were bruised and battered, possibly close to death. Bleeding heart or not, you can't just be so cruel as to let them suffer. They need a place to stay, and you'll open your home to them...long enough to get back on their feet, anyway.

Speaking of feet, the shoe could be on the other one. You're worse for the wear - in a new place, possibly injured, certainly not in the best state of mind. You could not even remember how you got here or who you are to get here, for that matter. You may not want to remember. Whether willing or not so willing, you're in no position to turn down help, especially if said helper won't take no for an answer. No matter how dedicated you are to looking after yourself, there's only so much you can do in your position.

The two of you are staying together, at any rate. Only for a while, the plan is. But after said while, even though strength and confidence is returning to the injured, there's something a little different between you two. It could be the close quarters, the kindness shown, or a number of things, but quietly, softly, feelings have grown. Could more confusion and hurt spring from this? What about when it's time to go? Can the temporary resident leave as easily as they intended? You're so close now, perhaps a little while longer can't do any harm...

...until whatever it was that put them in such a perilous position in the first place comes back, and there could be "justice" for anyone who's dared to help.

4. ɢᴏᴏᴅ ɢᴜᴇsᴛ — It's all you can do to show gratitude to the person who took you in. Fix them a meal, care for their house, whatever you can do once you're able.


5. ʙᴀᴅ ɢᴜᴇsᴛ — FUCK THIS PERSON AND FUCK THEIR COUCH. You didn't ask to be brought here. Let them clean up after you, you don't even care.

9. sᴄᴀʀs — Scars from the encounter that lead you here or scars from prior, you don't want them to see either. You still have your secrets to keep.


10. sᴛᴜʙʙᴏʀɴ — Ugh, your house guest is so stubborn! They always get up when they should be resting, have the worst habits, and completely disrespect your home! You'll get to them, one way or another. Or you'll throw them out. You don't want to, but you will.

Comments

Mizuki | DRAMAtical Murder | m/m preference, OTA

[blacked_out]

[Someone with the place to stay, but sometimes doesn't like to be alone. Castmates adored. Will be running with any route that isn't his own good end or bad end for convenience sake, unless you'd rather I use a different one. Please see his journal for details, as it includes headcanon.]

[zunge]

[I am predictable. Come tell me which prompts speak to your heart.]

[blacked_out]

[1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 20-22, 24, 26. <3 I'm game for any of those especially, and the others are fine except for 6, 17, and 23. :3]

Noiz | DRAMAtical Murder | OTA

[zunge]

[highly distrustful and apathetic lone wolf with severe abandonment and self-worth issues and one hella spacious one-bedroom apartment. good luck convincing him of anything like genuine concern. (please try, else he won't get anywhere.) castmates always adored, good with nearly any route as is convenient.]

Matt Murdock | Daredevil | ota

[jurisdevil]

[Taking somebody in. Feel free to PM to discuss details!]

[jurisdevil]

[y, certainly!]

Rey | SW:TFA | OTA

[thesefirststeps]

[ooc: Either / or.]

bel (sloth) | seven deadly sins oc

[retire]

[ probably the one taken in. ]

Alucard | Castlevania Symphony of the Night | m/m preference

[fatherssins]

[ Either scenario is fine. ]

[raventonbeauty]

[Ashley here comes from a vampire canon, but he is human within that canon. I'm currently playing him at a canon point immediately after losing his brother, so he's fairly broken. Let me know if either of these interest you and I can write the starter. Locations can be changed, these are just Ashley's defaults.

Option 1: Ashley's living alone in his family's increasingly neglected mansion in Louisiana, which he has no idea how to maintain. But it is very safe and he could definitely take someone into it.

Option 2: Ashley's living in Paris, burning himself out fast in grief with drugs and lovers. He needs someone to take him in hand and dry him out a bit, give him something to fasten on other than his grief.]

[fatherssins]

[ Both scenarios sound good to me. As Alucard is from a bygone era he may not wholly understand substance abuse, especially because of his very limited social interactions with others so I'm leaning towards option 1 but either would be alright. ]

Saya Masaki | Neon Sign Amber | m/m

[gyaruo]

[Either role, but likely the caretaker.]

Farlan Church | Attack on Titan | OTA

[forelocked]

[Either role.]

Bucky Barnes | MCU | M/M

[tws_bucky]

[Likely the one taken in]

[tictacs]

[ extremely post-cw where bucky is actually bunking with scott instead of steve like everyone expects? 'cause scott's the furthest away from dangerous situations (technically) and is also probably the best at trying to help buck find a sense of normalcy after everything ]

Ashley Raventon | Lost Souls | M/M

[nicodiangelo]

[Cross-canon with a demi-god kid of Hades be okay?]

kara danvers | supergirl

[superassistant]

[ could be either. ]

clint barton | mcu

[arcuarius]

( Wife-less flavour - CW compliant )

Kristen Kringle l Gotham

[misskringle]

(More than likely the one taken in, canon through "Knock,Knock" but am up to date otherwise, M/F and crossover friendly)

Nico di Angelo | Heroes of Olympus | m/m

[nicodiangelo]

[Could go either way. Post end of Blood of Olympus he'd like be the caretaker but pretty bad at it but could still go either way.]

mikaela hyakuya → owari no seraph

[infatyuated]

[ more likely to be taken in, unless your name is yuuichirou. ]

Scott Summers | X-men Apocalypse

[amiexpelled]

[Most likely to be the one who need to be taken in, since is Scott is canonically a mess.]

Wanda Maximoff | MCU | f/m

[seeingscarlet]

[Either, more likely to be taken in if post-CW]
