strangers like ｍｅ
( a shipping meme )

You've always known you've been different, even if you didn't fully understand how. And it's more than a normal, healthy feeling of youthful isolation, because somehow, someway, you were cut off from any connection. It's possible that you were raised in conditions most would consider "wild," even barbarous or animalistic. Of course, you don't know that. You don't even think there are others similar to you.

Until someone like you falls into your life, by chance, by accident, or by design.

At first, you go full-tilt into learning everything about this mysterious stranger and all they know about your mutual people. All these wonderful concepts, these worlds you've never dreamed of! Most importantly, now you know you're not alone.

Then, things change. Your focus begins to shift to this person, more than just the information they can provide. You can't help but notice their features, so much like yours. Whenever they're around, you feel so much lighter and happier. Your heartbeat quickens. You want to see them smile. Why do you have this growing need to be beside them?

You don't understand any of this and, hopefully, you're fine with that as long as you get to learn more and stay with this person, this link to your past...and your future.

This was originally conceived as a shipping meme, but if you want to play gen, that's fine. Just clarify! Smut is fine, too. Again, just specify it.
Feel free to AU your character as desired.
You can do a feral AU or just focus on the "lonliness until they discovered ~love~" aspect.
ANYWAY, comment with your character, preferences, and, if you'd like, which part you'd like to play (the "only" one/wild one or the "stranger").

[ pls throw all the aus at me. philcollinsforever.mp3 ]

( either role. open to m/f and m/m. cross-canon and au suggestions welcome, no smut, please! )

[ yeeees this is my favorite concept to play with when it comes to fellow psychic/powered/demon-spawn youngsters. they need more good in their lives. ]

(M/F and ignoring current canon for this, going with the idea she escaped and went into hiding to deal with the fallout.]

[Platonic CR/gen only please!]

[ pref m/f for anything shippy. ]

( either role! )

[ The 'wild' one. Would prefer to keep things gen. ]

[Please teach little demon girl how to human.]

[I'd kill for a Mon-El or a Barry Allen if we wanna go a more generic 'super powers like me' since this is basically Kara's canon, but if anyone wants to claim they're Kryptonian (in an AU or as a lie to pull one over on Kara????), then that's fine by me too!]

[Gen or light shipping, no smut please.

I'd love to do something with "got turned into a vampire yesterday/last week, no idea what happened and no guidance, still trying to figure out what the fuck is going on". Happy to play either end of that situation (or two clueless ones)!]
