Your oath I will keep

[sausagefests]

SWORN TO THE SWORD shipping meme It's textbook, really. Or, more accurately, parchment, because you've either found yourself or always been in a time (it doesn't necessarily have to be medieval) where swords - and possibly sorcery - are the weapons and the mindset of the day; at the very least, the rough and tumble attitude that comes with a knife's edge permeates the land. And you know how to wield a weapon, be it a blade, your own body, or something else entirely, so you've put it to good use. You've become a sworn sword to protect someone. It could be out of the goodness of your heart, out of heritage, or stemmed from a desire for compensation or power. No matter what the cause, however, one fact remains the same, and that's how you cannot let emotions cloud your judgement. Of course, that may be a little easier said than done. When you're so close to a person, in order to keep them safe, and when you put your very life on the line... ...ah, but you must persevere. Your duty does not allow you to falter. Comment with your character, role, and preferences. I forgot to mention, feel free to AU. Reply to others. Thread.

[ this dude's a spastic demon from buddhist hell who loves rock music and fucking with everyone. but he also has a soft protective streak he doesn't like to admit to and will protect anyone with his life, either because they're pure of heart and he's doing it out of his own morales, or because he fucked up and has to be stuck with someone shitty out of a deal with a demon or a punishment-related thing.
