Puppy Love Turned More Meme
a childhood sweetheart shipping ( or ) smut meme

“If there is someone in the past that you’ll remember for the rest of your life, it would be your childhood sweetheart. The exhilarating sensation when you hold hands, the magical feeling of that first kiss will forever linger in your heart and mind and no matter where you have been; you will keep longing for those very special days with a smile on your lips.”

When the two of you were young, you were inseparable. You played together, dreamed together, did absolutely everything together. A day without the other was unthinkable. Other people joked that you two were a pair of little lovebirds; what they didn't know is that they were absolutely right. Of course, it was the kind of innocent love that only children could have, but you were in love.

Then, life got in the way. Things changed and the two of you may have grown apart. Now, you've finally come back together and fortune's smiling as if it may be just like old times.

But that can never really be, can it? That familiar innocence is replaced with something much more adult. Will your relationship change with the times and the new urges, or will you both cling to the past? What if only one wants to take that next step while the other wants to keep memories pure?

OR
It's always been one-sided, right from the start. As kids, one of you followed the other around like a puppy over the moon. The other wasn't cruel to the person crushing on them, yet they didn't see them in that way. Maybe their admirer was kind of an ugly duckling or a late bloomer. Maybe they were just the kind of kid who wasn't interested in icky, gross romance.

All that's in the past, because after a long separation, you two have met back up and, man, has the late bloomer finally bloomed! They're exactly the type their once-object of affection would go for.

Surely this is a dream come true and now they can get the returned feelings they've always wanted!

...right? There can't be any way there'd be a sore spot here.

Comment with your character, preferences, and which "scenario" you'd prefer to play, if you want.
This is not a specifically smut meme, but smut is possible. Please say if you're open or would prefer no smut.

[Would prefer no smut, please!]

( yessss, please. for the second option-- harry is absolutely the puppy. when he loves, he pretty much loves the person forever, and is prone to pining. open to just about anythin though. probably no smut, but m/m, m/f, and cross-canon are all great. )

[Smut in museboxes only!]

[canonmates/other characters who aren't her actual childhood friends (she has...so many...) are also welcome! we could AU it up somehow, or for a different spin, try a setting years in the future from current canon or something.

no smut though, thanks.]

[Canonmates from separate timelines are great. I can provide information on his post-game scenario where needed but long story short, it's a sort of doomed-timeline-good-ending existence in a dream bubble made to look a lot like reality, but with some weird little inconsistencies in its history and geographical makeup.]

[Assumed CR is fine if you're willing to discuss first.]

[My kingdom for a Michele...]
