Everyone knows the feeling of when you see someone and you know you've seen them before. Isn't that a part of déjà vu? But what if the connection you have with that person goes beyond the superficial recognition of familiarity? Perhaps you were connected once...in the most intimate of ways. Some religions and philosophies believe in reincarnation of souls, and it's said that souls could be reincarnated together - once again to follow out the same path they did before.
Or maybe not. Maybe it could be a second chance for fixing things that went wrong before, like the a tragedy or circumstances keeping you apart. But can you take that chance? Do you even want to?
HOW TO PLAY- Comment with your character, stating preferences and pertinent information.
- Tag around to others and roll the RNG to determine what your scenario will be.
- The first roll determines the parameters of the "past life," the second the parameters of the "present life." The meme is intended to take place in the present, but there's nothing stopping you from playing out flashbacks to the "past."
- Play out the scene!
- WARNING: There will probably be triggers here.
| | A. THE PAST- Medieval: The two of you lived in the middle ages or an equal high fantasy setting. Kings, queens, knights, wizards, your doomed love was set among the sword and shield.
- Feudal Japan: During this time, honor reigned supreme and warriors lived and died by the sword. Perhaps the two of you lived here?
- War: World War I, World War II, World War...III? Whatever the tension was, the two of you weren't living in happy times.
- Not Human: You were gods, demons, monsters, angels - or at least one of you was.
- Sci-Fi: The two of you found love in a world of science and technology...maybe a base on the moon?
- Taboo: In a past life, the two of you were related, yet still somehow fell in love. Or perhaps there was a big age gap, or different social standings. Whatever it was, your affection was "wrong," somehow.
- Intended for Someone Else: One of you was engaged, intended, or taken by someone else.
- Not Allowed: For some reason, you couldn't have your love back then.
- Tragically Cut Short: Somehow, your love ended in tragedy and one of you died.
- Living Happily Ever After: The two of you grew old together, had a family, the whole shebang, and died of old age. As a reward, you get to be with your loved one again.
- WILDCARD or CHOOSE YOUR OWN
B. THE PRESENT- (Not So) First Meeting: You could swear you've seen this person before...but where?
- Need to Be Near You: You don't know why, but you have to be close to this person, to protect them, to love them.
- Memories: You're having memories of your past life and it's freaking you out.
- The Reveal: Somehow, the truth is revealed to you about who you used to be and what you life was like with this person.
- But I'm Taken: Unfortunately, you've already moved on to someone else who doesn't fit into the picture of your past.
- You Have to Be With Me: You're determined to rejoin with your past lover...even if they're not interested.
- He Doesn't See Me: You're afraid your lover only sees the past "you" and not the you who exists now. Are they in love with a memory?
- Madness Ensues: It's getting hard for you to tell which life is the "real" one, the one you have now or the one in the past. Perhaps you only see one way of release: becoming reincarnated again.
- It All Worked Out: The battles are fought, the war is one. You've earned your happy ending in this life and the two of you can live together.
- WILDCARD or CHOOSE YOUR OWN

"God," Archie murmurs, offering his hand even as he looks at Horatio with obvious affection in his eyes, "I love you."
no subject
He also already loves the way Archie's hand looks with the simple band slipped into place. Maybe it hadn't been roses and kneeling and all that, but maybe the faint crackle of eggs and sleepy clinging close together is much more them.
Kissing the other man's palm once he got the ring settled is entirely natural. "Thank you."
no subject
"Thank you," he answers earnestly, "We ought to get you a ring as well, at some point."
Later, at least. For now, he's far more content to be pressed in close and safe here, together, in the quiet of their home.
no subject
"--really?"
It's an obvious thing, really. It still gets his cheeks flushing all over again.
no subject
"Yeah." And now a kiss to the tip of his nose, "Could be our first-- engaged outing, even."
no subject
It's a silly thing to feel so flustered about. Thank goodness there's the eggs to turn back to, one hand not quite letting go of his fiancé.
Archie Kennedy, his fiancé. The flush is unavoidable. "--yeah. Yeah, if you like."
no subject
"I would," he murmurs happily, "'t'd be fun."
no subject
"We will, then."
What wouldn't he do for Archie? What wouldn't he do for the man who was now about to be his husband.
"I should-- make some calls, first."
no subject
It'd be just like Horatio, after all, to rush off into preparations and passing on information and forget to take care of himself. But that's why Archie's here.
(Why Archie will always be here, now.)
no subject
They have so much more time, now, to properly enjoy that.
"If you insist."
Honestly, Bush and Pellew will probably be glad to hear Horatio had been gently directed into actually taking care of himself before getting distracted by the work of the day.
no subject
And he can't help but grin, just a little, at those two particular words. He can't help but be excited about the future ahead of them even more, now.
no subject
He'd heard, of course. He doesn't care.
What an amazing thing to hear, even when it's just in their kitchen at breakfast.
no subject
There's something earnest and entirely sweet to his happy, "I do."
no subject
He's not sure he'll be able to stop grinning until then. Or after, possibly.
no subject
A pleased little kiss to his fingers.
"I'm so happy, Horatio."
no subject
"We'll have to keep you that way, then."
no subject
Because their happiness is so critically intertwined, especially this time around.
no subject
What else could happen? What else could make him more infinitely happy than marrying this man?
no subject
Because that's all he's wanted for so many lives, now. Horatio's happiness is the most beautiful, valuable thing.
And now he'll have it forever. They both will.
no subject
"Start with breakfast, then."
The first step toward the rest of our lives.
no subject
"Sounds perfect."
no subject
What a lovely thing to celebrate over breakfast.
What a lovely first opportunity for his future husband to stop him from making a grab at the phone rather than moving to sit as well.
no subject
Which is, of course, ultimately the plan.
no subject
And it means they're delayed in listening to Horatio fumble through explaining what's happened over the phone to Pellew. Probably it will wind up getting handed over to Archie before he's been properly successful.
