Never let her out of your sight. Never let your guard down. Never fall in love.

[reversesock]

the bodyguard shipping meme You're a pop star, or a royal, or maybe even the last of your kind who will bring about the Earth's redemption. Whatever the case may be, you're in a position that may be a bit dicey if you attract the wrong kind of attention. And you're a bodyguard, a soldier, a knight - a protector. Somehow, you've been roped into protecting this person. You'll be rewarded, of course. The work may be cut out for you, but just do your job, keep your head down, and it'll go smooth. Except for when the two of you break the bounds of professionalism and feelings begin to flourish. Being in such close quarters may get you to see the other in a different light, and saving someone's life just may be the ultimate form of intimacy. Could this be the real danger? To feel so strongly for the one you've sworn to protect...are you compromised? How to Play 1. Comment with your character and preferences, being sure to put if you want to play the guard, the guarded, or either. Also, you may want to put if you prefer fluffy, angsty, or smutty interaction - or have no preference. 2. Comment to others. 3. There are no prompts, because there are so many potential options there could be a hundred. Feel free to play anything: the beginnings of the relationship, just meeting, getting used to each other/not getting along at first, the obligatory first time, a threat on the protected's life and how their protector responds, how the feelings between the two has changed the protection, etc. Your only limit is you.

[Can be either the guard or the guarded. She's been both in canon, and is a mercenary by trade.]

[benjaminbutton]

[ Guarded.

A couple of options:

1. Peter's gotten in waaaaay above his paygrade with a baddie, so an ally's had to step in to protect him - and May.
2. As a favor, another super/super-adjacent is looking after Spidey's aunt while he's away.
3. Infinity War or a comparable AU happened. Because we hate ourselves and want to be miserable, one of Peter's dying wishes was that your character took care of May. DOES YOUR HEART HURT YET? ]

Aunt May, aaaahhhh! <3 <3 Okay, so, just checking, would you mind if I AU something up?

[ guard. ]

[fanaa]

( ooc | ooooh I want it just for the sheer amusement of thinking of her as guarded cause reasons like what is this crazy notion! and I am sure something can be thought of! I know it says shipping up there, but eh not truly necessary and I love my things to be slow as heck anyways~ )

{ can be either but if he's the one having to be protected just a FYI he's not going to make it easy for you what with his disappearing acts and juvenile tell me to do something I'll do the exact opposite I do what I want attitude . Good luck with that! }

lioriley | original | ota

[invigorates]

( guarded. )

Esther Moreau | OC | M/F

[57times]

[ Either role, though I am weak for her being in the guarded role for once. Am also here for platonic prompts where she is aged down to 16-18 and is heavily dependent on her guard/ian for company and comfort.

On the other hand, she could easily have been hired to guard someone, either as is or when she's older - almostthriving. ]

[officerzeppelin]

(ooc want a handsome, kind of motherly protector? I can au it up a bit and have Dean sent to work in the UK, and he could be hired to protect Esther from something or other - you can have your choice of Dean at any age, too.)

Loki Odinson | MCU | OTA

[wearenotdoinggethelp]

[Either really, and if it's with somebody unlikely, something can be AUd a bit, seriously. Anything's possible.]

[its_starlord]

[ooc: Would you be interested in AUing something with Quill? Maybe he's taking on some random job that requires him to protect Loki? I'm also open to other ideas!]

Sgt. Damien Scott | Strike Back | M/F

[morethrustmrscott]

[OOC: Because let's face it, sleeping with someone he's supposed to be protecting (whether they're good or bad) is pretty much his jam.]
