bakerstreet | Be my star-crossed more-than-friend

SECRET relationship;

The fact that you're in a relationship with this person isn't public knowledge. Actually, no one knows about it except for the people involved. Maybe you guys are just private like that; on the other hand, it may be a necessity to keep things a secret from others. Maybe you're both team mates, and others on the team would give you grief, or you're not suppose to be dating, or you're not the type to usually date and you're only testing the waters. Perhaps it's the combination of you two, possibly an odd couple, that would bring some controversy or some teasing. Or, you know, you could not want to deal with friends and relatives being busybodies. Your reasons are your own.

Are you content with stealing moments to be together as a couple? Do you want to make your relationship known and the fact that you can't drives you batty? Remember, there are lots of benefits to dating in secret. You can be yourselves completely, away from prying eyes, and get to know each other better as potential longterm romantic partners. In a way, it's ideal.

...still, do you ever wish you could scream from the rooftops how much you care for your significant other?

how to play.

[ A fun concept I'd like to run with here: Belle's in some sort of forced engagement/arranged marriage situation and has come to view your character as a close friend and confidante...only that's just the surface, and beneath what it appears, they're really in love.

I love assumed CR, crossovers (♥ ♥ ♥), convoluted scenarios, combustive attraction, bickering, first times, culture differences, ingenue/gruff, worldly man, inhuman characters, Beauty and the Beast dynamics because duh, arranged marriage AUs, fairy tale/fantasy settings, magic, passionate reunions, 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.

negl, I'm always on the lookout to play against Thorin (from The Hobbit), as it's my little crack crossover-OTP-that-could. I have some ideas if that piques your curiosity.

Obviously, everyone's welcome, however! ]

[Hiding a relationship from her group or from a potentially hostile community (Grady or an invented one) works well for her canon, but I'm happy to do whatever. Interested in both canon and cross-canon CR, happy to do things in her world, your character's world, or a jamjar!]

[ modern au also available ]

OOC: So as an alternative to the film, how about the commissioner's daughter as a girlfriend for Baby - trying to also roll up the entire gang?

Let me know if you are interested in a thread. I am flexible when it comes to choosing a canon point.

[Let me know if you don't want spoilers!]

[TLJ compliant; castmates please]

[Would love to play her with a partner or lawyer she has to sneak around with.]

Terry is surprised by his own restraint in not dragging Karen off at work at times. He hadn't planned to end up in bed with her, but she just kind of got to him. He peered over the desk at her and gave her a smile. He was thinking of her in ways most partners aren't thinking of their partners like.

(ooc: left vague for you. Feel free to add to it.)
