You can't choose who you love

Interspecies Love Meme

Vampires and humans. Angels and demons. Ghosts and the living. The idea of "opposites attracting" is hardly a new one, but with the rise in popularity of supernatural creatures, aliens, and other sentient beings beyond our human understanding, the forbidden romance trope has been injected a shot of fresh blood- sometimes quite literally.

This meme does just that, taking the whole "not meant for each other" thing to it's most logical extreme. Of course, it's not always angst and depression. These days, mermaids and bird-people can have their relationships in peace to some degree.

Rules

• Comment with your character, putting any preferences you have (ie, "humanoid characters only," F/M, etc). Also, be sure to note your character's "species" for others to reference (Name | Character | OTA | Human, ghost, mutant, alien, vampire, god, zombie-catgirl hybrid, etc).
• Reply to others. If your characters aren't different species, feel free to AU or anything else like that.
• Use the rng to determine your prompt.
• Also I didn't think I needed to say this, but be excellent to each other. Dick comments and anon bullying are not on.

Prompts

1. Meeting: Did you know there were, I don't know, werewolves before this? Or maybe you thought all aliens were evil. Will this...thing change your perception?
2. Falling in Love: You know you're not the same, but your feelings don't care.
3. Self-Hate: Perhaps you're mad at the being you're in love with, yet you're more angry at yourself.
4. Can't Be Together: Whether for self-inflicted reasons or societal rules, you can't be in love with who your heart has chosen and it's putting a strain on you.
5. Pushing You Away: Things are getting too intense, and for both of your sake, you want to make friend/crush/lover hate you.
6. Beauty & the Beast: One of you is beautiful, the other hideous. Maybe, though, the beautiful one is ugly in the eyes of society, depending on where you live. Whatever the case is, you don't look the same.
7. Confession: Screw the rules, you're going to tell that sweet girl/guy/other how you feel! What can go wrong? Or this is something you've put a lot of thought into and you're scared, but you're going to do it.
8. First Time...or Not: Finally, the two of you are taking the next step and getting physical. It may go off without a hitch, depending on your...you know, or- OH GOD, HOW IS THAT GOING TO GO IN HERE. Wait, you have a...?
9. The Kinky Option: Hey, maybe being different will pay off. Think about it. A long tongue? Ghost powers? Sounds like it could be fun in the bedroom.
10. Prejudice: "What are you doing with that dirty monster?" "You know we can't be involved with humans!" "We don't take kindly to your type around here." Why can't people just leave you two be?
11. Facing Your Instinct: It's hard to be with someone when you want to suck their blood. Or eat their brains. Or possess them.
12. Because of Me: Your lover has been dragged into your fight or hurt by others of your kind. Now they're in the crossfire.
13. Standing Up For You: Hey, knock it off! I don't care what you think, he's perfect in my eyes.
14. You Don't Know You're Beautiful: The fluffy option where you're trying to make your loved one see just how much you care and how they're beautiful to you, no matter what.
15. Gifts: Show your affection with a gift from your culture.
16. Starting a Family: Can you even reproduce? Is it something you want to consider? Perhaps it's new ground to tread, so you'll have to be the first to think about it.

[lasthungrywolf]

[Any special prompts/preferences/wishes in mind for them? :3 ]

[snowyoni]

[Since they've met before, I have a keen interest in 7, 8, 15 and 16. I don't mind mixing those with any of the other options, particularly 6 (if you want to play around with Yukina's oni form) and 10.]

[lasthungrywolf]

[Ooh yes I'm up for mixing any/all of those! I think I'd lean toward 7+8 more than 16 at least for this thread just to set up that CR for future threads... but being the oblivious URT/UST dork he is, she'd probably have to be the one confessing when the tension and his inability to believe she might like him too gets to be too much to stand, if you're up for that! We can include 10 explicitly or just have it in the background that he's stood up for her fiercely... and probably stupidly recklessly.

I'm kind of imagining her giving him something symbolic of her interest that he doesn't comprehend at all and then gets fed up and just jumps on him. Alternatively, she could give him The Best Birthday Present. I'm open to other angles, though, too!]

[snowyoni]

[I like the idea of this all possibly stemming from some bit of standing up on his part. Weeks after she decides she has to be the one to say something, gives him a present symbolic of her interest and then is just blunt when he doesn't understand. How's that work for you?]

[lasthungrywolf]

[All sounds good to me! Let me know if there's anything else you want to add in, if you want me to start it off, or you're welcome to!]

[rolled a 7, but feel free to mix it up it you like!]

Daenerys and her dragons never failed to draw attention, anywhere they went. After all, there hadn't been a dragon in middle earth since long before most men were born. It wasn't hard to imagine why Ser Peregrine Took might become enamored with the beasts, or their mistress. He would certainly not have been the first. But unlike most men, Pippin had captured Daenerys' attention as well. Where some might have seen foolhardiness, she saw bravery, curiosity, and an insatiable love of life. And it hadn't escaped her notice that he was tall for a halfling. She was short for an elf, so perhaps that balanced the scales in some way.

Not that she had any idea how to tell him how she felt, or ask him how she felt about her. All she knew was that she cared for him a great deal more than she had ever expected.

Sorry for the delay

[pippins]

It had been about the dragons at first. Pippin would stand by that until the day he died, hopefully a very long time from now, but quickly the dragon's mistress had become quite a more interesting quandary for him. She'd been kind to him and didn't seem to get too irritated at his unquenched curiousity about the dragons and soon about her. He'd wanted to know about her life, how she'd come to the dragons and how she'd raised them. There were endless questions and he never seemed to run out of them.

The more he talked to her the less the dragons became part of the conversations and the more he just wanted to know her and the more he thought about how lovely her hair was and how she almost wasn't that much taller. There was little doubt in his mind that such a beautiful lady would never think twice of him but she always seemed to make time for him.

"Do you have a favorite love story?"

no worries!

[tastedfire]

Daenerys smiled at the question. Could he be thinking of romance? Or did he just enjoy storytelling? Either way, she was happy to indulge his questions. She did love sharing stories, and songs with him. "Let me see...Beren and Luthien is a great one, but...have you ever heard the tale of Jonquil and Florian?"
