What's harder than dating? INTERSPECIES dating.

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.
17. WILDCARD

[Sure, first time for her to meet a human, or first time for both of them? Maybe he was injured and she got him out of harms way. The fact that he heals very fast might make for a conversation starter. He's also got a knack for going places he probably shouldn't be.]

Confessions-y

[theveilisin]

[Yes, yes, he knows. He shouldn't allow himself to get close to, much less involved with humans. Optionally, with "filthy, brutish humans" or something else along those lines, depending on who was speaking. His mother didn't say things like that, but had cautioned him anyway, for his own safety. Some humans, she'd said sadly, could not stand to see something beautiful that they could not own.

But what was the point of being able to go to the human world if you could not see the humans? They had the same plants and animals in Faerie too, didn't they - and more besides! But they didn't have humans.

He'd watched this human for a while now, as he paced around within the walls around that big house like a caged creature, avoiding the other humans as much as possible. He'd allowed him to see him too, and Luvander could tell that now he was always looking for him whenever he was out. Sometimes he'd let him, sometimes he wouldn't - but he always wanted to. Always, always. He wanted the human to see him. He wanted to talk to the human too. We wanted to get closer.

So as the human boy got himself lost in the maze of lilac bushes close by the walls that contained him, Luvander picked a moment and then lowered himself through the air in front of him. His wings barely stirred, not wanting to disturb the swirls of magic around him, carrying him. The faintly glowing tendrils of it reached out toward the human, but Luvander held them back for now, and instead he just watched.]

Hello. You're... a human. [No point in making it a question, because that much was obvious. But still.]

[doesntdiscriminate]

[Sabo starts at the voice. It was unusual for anyone to bother him here, all hidden away in the furthest corner of the garden. His surprise quickly turn to astonished disbelief and he has to catch himself from reaching out to touch the faery to check that they're really there. He blinks, half expecting to find himself alone again and unable to decipher the rush of emotions he feels as he opens his eyes to find them still there, right in front of him.]

Um, yeah. [His small smile is awkward in its genuine nature, as if it's been so long since he truly smiled that he's forgotten how.] I'm Sabo.

[He remembers, a moment too late, that you aren't supposed to tell faerie folk your name. Doing so supposedly gave them power over you, and who knew what such ill-natured creatures would do with it. He briefly wonders if it could be true and, if it is, if this counted as him giving out his True Name since it was the only name he felt any connection to. Then he decides that it doesn't really matter.

He isn't naive enough to think that the faery wouldn't be capable of making his life worse than it already was if they so wished, even though he can't quite imagine how, but at least it'd be something different from the grey monotony currently stretching out before him. Besides, while he wouldn't be able to explain it, he doesn't think the creature - no, person - in front of him intends to do him any harm.]

And you're one of the faerie folk. [His smile brightens with the announcement as a frisson of excitement courses through his body.] What are you doing in our garden?

[theveilisin]

[Luvander's eyes widen in sudden and absolute delight as Sabo says his name. To trust him with something as important as a Truename at this point - and he can tell that it is, just from the feel of it - must surely mean something, right? Luvander had been right about this human. They were obviously fated to meet, and this their first meeting is already proving it.

He beams back at him, nodding excitedly.]

Indeed I am, yes! My name is Luvander, like the hero in the Garden of Songbirds.

[You know, the one that everyone knows? No, not that one. Silly human. Who doesn't know that story, anyway?

He takes a step closer, although in fact he isn't quite touching the ground just yet. The human is quite a bit taller than him, isn't he?]

And I'm in your garden to meet you, of course. I've been watching you. [He winks.] You have noticed, right?

[doesntdiscriminate]

[To be honest Sabo is somewhat surprised to be given a name in return, and so promptly too. Then again, he's not really sure if the power of Names goes both ways since, surprisingly, the rules and etiquette of interacting with faery folk hadn't exactly been the parts that had truly caught his attention back when he heard stories about them as a kid. Besides, just because he's been given a name doesn't mean it's a True one, though he can't shake the feeling that it is.

Either way he's glad to have some way of referring to Luvander in his head that isn't 'the faery' or 'the pretty, glowing boy'. Though he doesn't think he should mention that the only other Luvander he's heard of isn't exactly described as anything like a hero, no matter how far you stretch the definition of the word. It wouldn't be very polite, and that was important wasn't it, or particularly helpful right now.

He wonders if there's anything wrong with him that he doesn't become scared, or even the slightest bit worried, when the faery comes closer or that when most people would be flinching away in fear he finds himself instinctively taking a step forward.]

I have. I mean, I noticed you. [He flushes slightly, well aware of how that sounds. On the other hand seeing Luvander/the faery, or just the chance of seeing him, had become the only light and colorful thing in Sabo's life, the one thing he had to look forward to. So maybe what it sounded like wasn't far enough from the truth to make much of a difference anyway. ] I look for you, when I can, but I hadn't noticed that you looked at me too.

[He pauses, his brows furrowing in confusion.]

Why were you looking at me? I can't be very interesting. [As much as he tries the can't quite keep the bitterness and resignation from showing in his voice and expression as he continues.] Nothing in my life is interesting.
