You're the one good thing in my life

[asoftermeme]

healing the broken meme a shipping meme The events of many canons have left its characters ravaged, unable to be the whole people they once were. They can never go back to the innocence they had before. However, they can find someone who can pull you back from the brink. Some say love can conquer all ills and cure all broken people - the jury is still out on that, but enough people subscribe to the notion that it may have some merit. With the right affection behind it, can it be the elixir to heal traumas or mend angst? For this meme, it can be. No matter what your what your problem is, from daddy issues to being mind controlled to hating all humans or being just a jerk, all you need is healing from the right person. All in all? This is a shameless meme playing with the idea of "cured by love." Love it or hate it, it's prevalent in fiction, both fan and published. And sometimes, no lie, you just want to play it and not be judge for the pure shlock you know it to be. Here is the place; now is the time. However, you don't have to go for unrealistic escapism. One partner trying to help the other through trauma is not an easy task, and there are bound to be setbacks, resistance, and hurt feelings. And what if BOTH partners are a little bit broken? Can they survive together, or will they bring each other down? how to play - Comment with your character and preferences. Feel free to talk about your character's problems. You might also want to mention if your character is the one who needs to be healed or can do the healing. Or perhaps you and your thread partner can play two roughed up characters learning to trust again! - Reply to others.

BARRY ALLEN | THE FLASH | OTA

[gottagoflashfast]

[ ooc: his trust in people is shattered entirely. ]

[searches_forhim]

[ooc: Jane can relate (if taken from a canon point before The Dark World)! Maybe they can try to heal together?]

Aoi Asahina | Dangan Ronpa | OTA

[flutterkick]

[Potentially either role]

legolas, lord of the rings (novels)

[orcsurfing]

( definitely the healer, PM to discuss if you want him be the healed one. prose preferred, cross-canon welcome! warning for slow posting. )

It was a slow waking. For a man that normally slept so lightly, able to be up and ready in a matter of seconds the moment something disturbed him, the sluggish return to consciousness that always followed dreaming left him anxious, frustrated, and all too vulnerable. Limbs heavy and immobile, the unmistakable feeling of cold, rough stone still lingering at his back. The sound of cruel laughter and the feeling of crueler hands, and the sudden, horrifying feeling of falling-

With a grunt, flinty eyes were finally forced open. And just like that, the rest of his body seemed to follow, the leaden feeling slowly disappearing from his arms, allowing him to stretch, and check his surroundings, and slowly sit up with a soft groan.

So much for rest, then. While he couldn't tell just how long he had been asleep, their shared room was still dark, the moon still high in the sky outside their window, and Artemis couldn't help a soft curse from slipping out in his native tongue. He was still exhausted; more so than before, he noted miserably. But he was in no mood to try and return to sleep when there was the risk that his subconscious would just turn on him again.

No. Definitely no more sleep tonight. With a frustrated sight, he pushed the sheet away from where it still clung to his sweat damp form, head hanging in resignation of his fate as he reached up to rub the stiffness from his neck. He could sit up the rest of the night. Keep watch, as it were, for all the good it did within a secure inn room.

At least one of them would get a decent night's sleep, with any luck.

sam wilson | mcu | ota

[wingedman]

[almost definitely the healer.]

Martha Jones | Doctor Who | f/m

[aproperdoctor]

[definitely the healer, but let me know if you'd be interested in doing something where both parties are broken.]

warden brosca ▼ da:o ▼ ota

[uncaste]

[ ooc: growing up casteless is rough af. ]

sarah manning | orphan black

[ohpissoff]

[ could be either. but if she's doing any healing she's gonna be shit at it cause she's a mess. ]

Thea Queen l Arrow

[redarrowqueen]

(Season from hell anyone? She's lost an emotional older sister and has cut off Malcolm finally but its left its mark emotionally. I do ignore the bloodlust however, that arc drove me nuts. Can also be the healer depending on person/canon point.)

Deadpool | Marvel | OTA

[beaarthur]

[ Can play 616/movie/mcu whatever needed. Cross canon is very much welcome! ]

Thorin | The Hobbit (films) | ota

[oakenshielded]

(( m/m or m/f both welcome. either role is fine! ))

Sherlock Holmes | Sherlock (BBC) | m/m

[deerstalkers]

(( either role ))

Rey | SW: TFA | OTA

[thesefirststeps]

[ooc: Either / or.]

Brady Truebridge | Filthy Rich | ota

[thirdrichest]

[Gen only. Prefer the healer, though she'll be a little gruff anyway.]

mccree ( overwatch )

[serape]

[ either role ]

bucky barnes | mcu

[ex_sidearmed813]

[ gen pref, needs healing. ]

[loveslola]

((Gen works great for me. Maybe post CW, instead of going to Wakanda, Steve sends him to Phil?))

Bucky Barnes | MCU | OTA

[cryogenics]

[lbr, he's probably the broken one. Could also be the healer though.]

Sam Winchester - Supernatural - OTA

[second_son83]

(will do healing or to be healed. He's got some baggage but he doesn't like to talk about it much so good luck with that.0

[low_key_angel]

((drive by hugs. Hi stranger!))

Derek Hale - Teen Wolf - OTA

[sourwolf_hale]

(will probably need to be healed but he can be gentle at times so he could be the healer as well.)

Caleb Danvers | The Covenant | OTA

[sonofipswich]

[Either/or!]

707 | Mystic Messenger | OTA

[deezhacks]

[avantguard]

[ hello! are you feeling one role more than the other? ]

Hitachiin Kaoru | Ouran High School Host Club

[fragrant_hitachiin]

[either role!]

Azumane Asahi || Haikyuu!!

[azuhi]

[Would be perfect for either role tbh]

Clint Barton | MCU | OTA

[bettercallit]

[redarrowqueen]

(Given the age gap would going gen against Thea be an option? She's current on canon but I do ignore the whole bloodlust arc, would be during the period post S4 with her being on leave from Team Arrow.)

Aric Dominija | The Arcana Chronicles

[deathstouch]

[Either but he doesn't exactly trust people at all.]

Jamie Campbell | Zoo

[jamiesgotagun]

[Most likely to need healing but could go either way.]
