The Witch's Curse
A fantasy AU meme where witches are real, and they are vengeful. Specify your character's role: the witch (or sorcerer), the subject of the curse, or the curse breaker. Tag around and pick or RNG a curse.

1: Change of Form: human turned animal, mythical beast turned human, human turned inanimate object, human made older/younger, the possibilities are endless
2: Obeisance: you are now cursed to follow the witch's every command and it's useless to resist, or perhaps you simply have to obey every command given you no matter who gives it
3: Curse of Sleep: like princesses before you, you are cursed to sleep for all eternity, or at least until your one true love finds you
4: Possession: be it a demon or any other kind of spirit, your body is no longer your own
5: Isolation: some witches use towers, others use forests of thorns, but either way the message is clear-- you are never seeing the outside world again
6: Resurrection: even death is not an escape from the witch's power, for some can raise the dead
7: Bad Luck: some curses are more minor, only causing you to stub your toe or drop your books, but they're still annoying
8: Defects: you weren't turned to an inhuman shape, but were somehow made hideous, clumsy, or repellent in some way-- maybe you smell terrible, or maybe people who get near you just feel uneasy and want to leave
9: Wounds: you have a wound that simply won't heal-- maybe it's slowly killing you, maybe it's just annoying, but it's not going away
10: Monster Magnet: wherever you go you're always being attacked by creatures, demons or monsters or ghosts, etc, that want to kill you
11: Never to Meet: you become an animal during the day while your true love is human, then you switch forms at night, so you can never both be human at the same time again
12: Death: your death is approaching and you need to find a way to avert it or remove the curse entirely
13: Objectification: you didn't avoid the death curse, and now your soul is bound to an inanimate object, perhaps to provide more power for the witch, to bind a spell to the object and give it power, or maybe just so you can't move on to your next life
14: Cursed Object: maybe it wasn't the witch themselves, but something that used to belong to a witch that put the curse on you, and now you must find a witch who can remove the curse
15: Cursed Ground: your house is built somewhere it really should not have been, and now you have to deal with ghosts or demons or the undead, which will really ruin your property value
16: Wildcard: choose your own adventure!

Hotaru Tomoe | Sailor Moon
6
She's been missing pieces since she was brought back. This kind of resurrection was less pure than the sort her mother could do. It feels dark and wrong, like there's something hollow deep in her chest that's starting to itch. She's come to Hotaru. She knows there'll be answers there. She knows that Hotaru isn't the one responsible.
She knows she's supposed to be dead.
She bows politely as she enters a space that usually feels friendly, eyes downcast.]
I think there's a problem.
no subject
Not like this. Not one who should be so vibrantly alive.
She half-rises, one hand unthinkingly outstretched as though there were no distance between them. This is wrong, the comment an understatement more vast than the sky.]
I...think so, too.
[Her soft voice is as kind as she knows to make it, and she glances behind the girl once as though expecting another to appear. She knows the others didn't entirely trust her, and she didn't blame them. She didn't blame anyone for that, but was still grateful for the trust Chibiusa had put in her.]
You came...to me, for help?
