A May-December romance is any where there is a larger than average age difference between the partners involved. Sometimes this is met with disapproval, sometimes it is arranged, sometimes it is abuse of power, and other times it just happens and it's no one's fault or doing. This meme focuses on those relationships.
- Post with your character, preferences, and note their ages (or an estimate if no canon age is given). - Please don't forget to note how much of an age gap you're comfortable with! - Look around, tag. Have fun! Make up a scenario or make use of the prompts below.
beginning 1. confession - you've just confessed your love. How is it received? 2. coerced - they have more power than you and you have no choice but to go along. 3. arranged - this was an arranged union and may not have had anything to do with your choosing at all. 4. secret - it would be forbidden or frowned upon, but you can't resist...
middle 1. difference - does the age difference make things difficult? 2. domesticity - just a day in the life... 3. experience - one of you has more experience than the other, but at least they're eager to teach. 4. argument - you're fighting for one reason or another.
end 1. breakup - things aren't working. 2. discovered - your forbidden secret has been found out and judged. 3. another - one of you has fallen in love with another. 4. happily ever after - against all odds, you've made it work.
((In my headcanon, he's probably like--five, technically. So any romance with a human being will be May-December for him. Fair warning that I will FTB for anything explicit.))
( I usually write her late teens through early to mid-twenties. Considering she's immortal, I'd love to have her as the older, albeit eternally youthful party. )
She'd been watching him for the last three years. She'd run into him just after the incident that had brought down Stark's jet, though it hadn't been intentional. Jess still needed to put whiskey in her belly, and that meant taking clients on that often led her to some shady as shit places. And one of those places had her crossing paths with what turned out to be a teenager hyped up on adrenaline, super senses, and the do-good feeling of being a 'hero'.
God help her if she never heard that damn word again. But it was one she'd heard more and more over the years, Peter often trying to convince her to give it another try. So she'd had one bad run in. That couldn't be the end of it, right? She'd never gone into detail on just what had happened with that 'bad ending', because he was a kid and no one needed to know that shit, but she'd put off the whole 'come play superheroes with meeee~' calls for three years.
And she would continue to ignore it. That didn't mean she didn't see that the Spider-brat was turning into Spider-Man in reality, and there was a part of her that felt... weird when she'd caught herself admiring certain parts that women her age shouldn't be admiring on eighteen year olds.
Yet here she was, chin propped up on her hand, elbow on the desk, watching a certain spiderling fuss around in her cramped, shitty kitchen, trying to sort through the bags of take-out he'd brought her because Peter Parker had seemed to have made it his life's mission in heroing to make sure that Jessica Jones lived off more than coffee, whiskey, and regret. She had a feeling he was just trying to make up for ruining her tail earlier, spider-swooping through the streets and catching the 'bad guy' she'd been tailing to stop him in his tracks instead of letting him lead her to where the rest of him and his cohorts were stashing their stolen merchandise. He was so eager to do good, she always felt like she was kicking a puppy when she got mad at him for screwing her shit up.
So maybe that was the excuse she gave herself as she watched his backside while he played Susie Homemaker in her kitchen, sipping from a glass and idly wondering things that she probably shouldn't be.
[Hello...I played Balthazar Blake with your Amelia many times and you do write her superbly. Can I interest you in a different old guy? Would probably be best if she's at least 20, but he's pushing 100 in canon, so that's...almost beyond December and into January of the following year.
Since they're from widely divergent canons maybe some accident could have dropped him into her world, unless you'd like to AU them?]
( miwako's a 20something lolita - as in the fashion, not the nymphet variety - with a penchant for free love and speaking in third person. pretty kinky, despite appearances; exhibitionism is pretty common for her. )
