People are strange, love is stranger

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

[Part II]

Friday nights had never come more slowly in the history of the world. No teenager watched the clock on a Friday afternoon with more concern that the bell would never ring. The promise of hen nights had never seemed so far out of reach.

And yet, despite all of his moaning and whining and rolling around on his brother's bed in sheer agony, Kili managed to make it all the way through the week with scarcely a scar upon him. He'd not been able to text Gabriel as much as he wished since he was 'working' and so he spent the time he was hankering for the werewolf texting his boss' son instead. Christian was a good sport about it, especially when Keiran did more than incessantly ask after Gabriel and requesting candid photographs... Though that last game was quite fun and Kili reciprocated by taking random photographs of his family around the house.

It did not occur to him the Christian's father might not be too keen to have random up the nose shots of the Durin Cousins on his son's phone because he was in the dark about everything.

If Gabriel had chosen to share the fact with Christian that he was dating the nephew of a fairly notorious, if previously fallen from grace and notoriety, well that was on him. Kili was still blissfully unaware of where the money came from. Or that his uncle and cousins were more than just jewelers.

So by the time it was officially Pub Time, Kili was skidding into the place just as the manager was starting to wonder where he'd gotten to. "You've been up for ten minutes," he growled as Kili rushed towards him, tuning up.

"Sorry!" He wasn't. "My hair needed to be perfect!"

He had no idea if Gabriel had arrived yet but he slumped onto his stool and grinned breathlessly at the small crowd of regular's he drew to every gig. "Sorry I'm late. I'm going to play an original for you all. See, I've met someone. And I love being in love."

[uglydress]

[ Pretty much summoned by the meme's picture, tbh; I'm a huge sucker for dwarves.

I love assumed CR, crossovers (♥ ♥ ♥), convoluted scenarios, combustive attraction, bickering, first time, culture differences, ingenue/gruff, worldly man, inhuman characters, cute nerds nerding out together, Beauty and the Beast dynamics because duh, arranged marriage AU, fairy tale/fantasy settings, magic, passionate reunions, redoing first times that didn't go so well. sneaky trysts, risk of discovery, emotions spilling out in private, and much, much more.

Ridiculously into Tolkienverse (dwarves yes pls), ASOIAF/GOT, HP (my kingdom for a Newt Scamander or Lupin), and MCU right now and equally into AUing Belle to fit in any of them, but check out my slightly embarrassing dream list of shit I'd like to play. ]
