Sentinels and Guides Shipping Meme
Sentinels and Guides Shipping Meme
A Sentinel!AU 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
1) Post with your character/canon in the subject header.
2a) Choose whether your character is a Sentinel or a Guide
or
2b) If you don't know or don't care, just leave it blank!
3) Information about Sentinels and Guides can be found here and here. Information on 'The Sentinel' which this meme comes from can be found here.
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!

Re: Tony Stark l MCU l ota
Steve had never had this kind of thing before.... only in Malibu. "This reminds me of you. I spend a lot of time out here. Do you want me to give you some privacy?" Steve sounded unsure. He looked at Tony, not wanting to let him out of his sight, but wanting to give him as many choices as he could.
Re: Tony Stark l MCU l ota
Tony looked around impressed, which was hard to do when you were as rich as he was. "Remind me to get the name of T'Challa's decorator," he muses before Steve's next words sink in and he starts to panic. "No," he says turning to grab at his Guide, "I want...I need you here...I know I get clingy when I'm like this, but it's been months and I need to know you aren't going to vanish on me."
Re: Tony Stark l MCU l ota
Steve pulled away only enough so he could get Tony out of his clothes. He stared at the marks he made on his mate's skin. "These should have healed. God, I'm so stupid." Steve could probably help him heal, but the man would have to trust him enough to let him in.
Steve started pulling his own clothes off, blushing some because this isn't how he imagined this moment. "You know if we complete the bond and the training, we would be stoppable?" He stepped into the bath, holding his hand out for his sentinel. It was his choice, always his.
Re: Tony Stark l MCU l ota
"Dad made it pretty clear that anyone who bound with you was in for a power boost. I just don't think he realized it was going to be me." He settles into the water and closes his eyes. "I didn't present until after he died."
Re: Tony Stark l MCU l ota
"You're beautiful Tony, and I love you," He whispered, pulling him gently against him, as he settled back against the side of the tub. He began to gently wash his.... Tony. "You are mine, and I am yours," Steve stated softly.
"He was really that bad?" He asked, clearly believing Tony but still not believing that the man that he knew was the same man.
"We need the bond for us to heal."
Re: Tony Stark l MCU l ota
Tony settles into Steve's arms and nuzzles him taking in that clean scent that is his Guide. "Losing you fucked him up Steve," he muttered, "he felt like he failed you and rather then get close to me he decided to push me away. Never was good enough for him no matter how hard I tried."
