Love at First sight from We

 
Sentinels and Guides Shipping Meme
A Sentinel!AU Meme

 

There are special people in the world: Sentinels--whose five senses are incredibly enhanced, sometimes to the point of overwhelming and who can easily lose themselves in fugue states--and Guides, the empaths with the ability to ground a Sentinel and focus them. Meant to be the protectors of the Guides, for every Sentinel there exists a guide that is their perfect match. In some universes, when matches are made, a Sentinel and Guide form a soulbond to fill the feeling of emptiness.

How easy was it for you to find yours? How are Sentinels and Guides treated in your universe? Or maybe you're one of the normal, unremarkable people. Do you fear Sentinels and Guides? Despise them?

 

Rules

4) All the tagging! Have fun 8D

Prompts
oo1. The Meeting
How did you meet? Was it at an event organized specifically for finding your other half? By accident? Did you follow a mystical calling to them? Some other way?

oo2. The Bonding
Do Sentinels and Guides in your universe soulbond? How does it go down? Is there a ceremony or do you just retreat to the bedroom?

oo3. Rejection
Sometimes Sentinels or Guides propose a match but it's just not perfect. You don't feel the pull or maybe you think there is someone better or maybe you're already claimed. Maybe you were claimed and someone better came along?

oo4. Protection
Sentinels are meant to protect Guides, any Guides, but it's even worse when they feel their Guide is in danger. They go feral; blind to anything but stopping and killing whoever threatened their Guide or the bond. Maybe someone attacked your Guide or you haven't bonded yet and you feel threatened or maybe you're the one doing the threatening. Whatever the reason, Sentinels in a feral state are dangerous and only their Guides can stop them.

oo5. Lost
Sentinels often lose themselves in their senses. Either you're a Sentinel who has lost themselves or a Guide that has stumbled on one or a friend trying to draw them out. Unbonded Sentinels will find it hard to escape without a Guide. Or maybe you're bonded already which means you just need yours to come home.

006. Persecution
Sometimes normal people or the government fear the power of Guides and Sentinels. Guides are empaths, feeling the emotions and sometimes passing thoughts of others and it can make people feel violated. Sentinels often have enhanced strength, which can make them dangerous. So they scorn them, hurt them or in the case of governments, regulate them.

oo7. Death
Unbonded Sentinels and Guides eventually lose themselves to the empty cavern inside them. Torn apart from the inside by the feeling of something missing. Breaking the soulbond of a Sentinel and Guide is agonizing and horrifying, leading quickly to death for the remaining partner. 

oo8. Old-School
Guides used to be treated on the same level as slaves. Unable to work unless their Sentinel said. Not allowed out on their own. They used to wear collars and couldn't own land or inherit money. Maybe the old ways haven't completely fallen out of style. 

oo9. Unbonded
Nothing is worse than being an unbonded Guide or Sentinel. Always looking for your other half to fill that empty feeling but you probably have friends that aren't your match or who are trying to set you up with someone. Maybe you're skeptical about the whole love at first sight thing and haven't been looking.

o10. Wildcard: Some mish-mash of the above or anything else you can come up with!

She snorted softly, but didn't say anything about his apparent indecision -demanding something to do and then deciding he didn't want it- instead she just said: "Not hungry? It won't be quite as good cold."

The soup wouldn't be, at least, the bread would be fine, she often kept rolls on hand as a snack, that and fruit, training like she did -even the meditation- burned a lot of energy.

It wasn't so much that he didn't want to get out of here, but he didn't want to be forced to go with her. At least, not on her rounds, whatever that meant. Instead, he just grunted in response and fiddled with the remote a bit more. "What's the point in taking me with you? It's not like you're leaving the ship, I can get there in minutes if you start freaking out again," he mumbled to himself, lifting a blanket up to muffle his voice even further.

I'll assign you an honor guard for tomorrow." She said, "You can go to the training rooms, the officer's mess for meals if you wish." That would keep him away from the majority of the ship's Sentinel population at least, "The observation deck, if you'd like."

She paused for thought there, chewing at another bite of roll, "I imagine you've communed with plants as part of your training in the Force. You can visit the atrium, if you like, provided there's no one else using it."

That... did sound good, actually. The part about visiting the atrium. It was a bit hard to imagine a ship like this having a designated spot for greenery, but he supposed it wasn't unheard of. "Sounds good," he said finally, squirming around until he could see the holo screen more fully, blanket still covering his mouth and most of his head.

Meditating would be good for his mental state. He might have been relatively weak to the Force, but he was strong enough that meditation did him good. He could levitate small objects and understand the needs of animals innately, but much more than that was lost on him.

"I would prefer if you waited until I could escort you to the officer's mess and to the observation deck, but I won't make it mandatory." Not yet, at least, eventually, probably, but not yet. She wasn't too concerned about letting him learn his way around, either, because there may come a time when he needed to be able to get to her without an escort getting in the way.

"I'll leave the rest of this for if you get hungry later, though it isn't as good cold, I still have a few meetings to attend this afternoon, but I'll be back this evening, you can aid with my meditations then." Which would happen just by the fact of him being in the same room, even if he wasn't actively assisting.
