The Forbidden Lovers Meme

[funandcutememes]

It's only natural to long for a perfect love story. Few things feel as fulfilling as a relationship where the other person will always listen to you, sex is always good and happiness always seems to be one word away.

But it's not so simple in your case, is it? Because no matter how nice and happy your relationship is, the truth is that nobody else wants it to continue. Either you come from rival factions or pursue a relationship that is taboo or illegal, but this little bubble of happiness you're currently sharing would infuriate anyone who might find out about it.

That's all right, though, isn't it? As long as you have each other, you can make this meeting wonderful regardless of what everyone else thinks.

• Post your character and their basic information to the meme. Feel free to either set a scenario or leave your comment blank and open for one.
• Your character and the commenter are now engaged in a very bad romance! This is their first meeting after a long while, so sparks are definitely going to fly.
• But what about the details of their relationship? For that, you can either decide on your own or head to Random.ORG and roll for one of the following options! First, roll for the kind of relationships they have:

1. Keeping it in the Family: It's not unusual for siblings to love each other, or for parents to love their children. What's unusual is when you love each other too much, even if you have the excuse of not being related by blood.

2. Pay for Play: Your relationship wasn't built on love. It might be that one of you needed money and the other was willing to pay for a pretty face and a few wild nighs. It can be that one of you has something that allows them to blackmail the other into being their obedient toy. Whichever the case, there came a point where this relationship became too important for your lives to let go.

3. Rival factions: You might be coming from families that have been at each other's throats for generations, two rival corporations or two kingdoms at war. Or it might be the law that keeps you apart; a cop and a criminal is hardly a decent pair, after all. Whichever the case, you must be stealthy about this or the wrath of both your sides will fall upon you.

4. Balance of Power: One of you is enjoying a very different social standing from another. It might be that one of you is richer than rich and another is poorer than poor. Or it could be that one lover's standing is far above the other's, like that of a master and a servant or a soldier and a general. Of course, nobody expects this to work out. Even fewer would approve of it.

5. A Pair of Cheaters: One or both of you are stuck in another relationship, either out of convenience or because of love that cooled a long time ago. You know what you're doing is wrong and hurtful, but it's too late to stop. This relationship is the only thing that gets you off anymore.

6. Immoral and Illegal: Your relationship isn't just wrong, it might get you into serious trouble. Whether you are a teacher flirting with their student or a nun breaking her vow of celibacy to be seduced by a handsome friend, the slightest hint of being discovered will ruin your life forever. Problem is, you're far too involved to stop.

7. Toxic Relationship: One of you is clearly bad for each other. They might be a delinquent, a criminal or something else, but the number of bad habits they're bringing into your life is ridiculous. You should be stopping. Now, if only you wouldn't enjoy the chaos they're bringing into your life so much.

8. Stockholm Syndrome: It's not a relationship at all. One of you is keeping the other against their will; either as a political prisoner, a kidnapping victim waiting for a ransom or plain an unwilling toy. At some point, the relationship reached the point where the lines became blurred and you're no longer sure if you want to be rescued from this supposed hell.

• Done choosing? Good. Now roll the numbers again and decide on the circumstances behind your meeting:

1. First Time for Everything: Your relationship has been going for some time, but this is the first time you decided to let it advance into the bedroom. One or both of you might be nervous, but it's fine. This step should have been made a while ago.

2. A Usual Rendezvous: The relationship is now at the point where meeting up for sex whenever you're feeling safe and bored is a common affair. The world outside might hate you for this, but it's nothing compared to the routine of your relationship.

3. Ironic Jealousy: Oh my! One of you have seen the other in the hands of another. It doesn't matter if this "another" is their rightful partner, their spouse or whatever else. You belong to each other, so there's nothing wrong in getting jealous and a little rough for it.

4. Doubts and Hesitation: No matter how good your relationship is, it's wrong and one of you has been feeling that much more deeply these days. It's time for a confrontation - either you spend one last night before breaking up or one manages to convince the other that this whole thing must continue.

5. Caught in the Act: You've been doing your best to hide, but it didn't take you far. Someone saw you and it's only a matter of time before the whole world knows about your affair. Do you separate in order to satisfy everyone else? Or do you recklessly discard your old lives for the sake of forbidden love?

6. After Separation: Due to the constant pressure on your relationship, you decided to separate and lead your own lives. For better or worse, it takes you only so far. A chance meeting sends you into each other's arms and leaves you wondering why you broke up in the first place.

7. Happily Ever After: A lot of people protested against your union, but you never let it stop you. Now you're either leading a new life away from everything that forced you away from each other, or you convinced the world that this is what's right for you. Tonight is the night of celebration and not leaving each other's arms, no matter what.

[She tries to keep it impassive as she takes the glass, taking a long drink from it.]

It's been a busy week.

[easily]

For now. Do you really think one of my brothers won't eventually wonder where I am, why they haven't heard from me? [If not Niklaus than surely Kol or Elijah would come after her eventually.]

What do you wish to know? [She doesn't trust him, not by a long shot, but she's also half starved, so she doesn't have a lot of options.]

[ John pulled up to the mansion, drumming his fingers on the wheel for a moment before getting out of the car. It was chilly out, and he hunched his shoulders, pulling the coat more tightly around him as he hopped a couple steps on the way up to the door. ]

Mr. Wayne?

[ He rang the bell, waited, feeling a peculiar mix of giddy and confused. The text had come in late last night, and John had only given it a bleary look before shooting off a reply. Now, the sun's about to set and he's, presumably, alone on Wayne grounds with the man he'd looked up to as he grew up. Talk about hero-worship. ]

[ She taps the kiseru on the ash tray once, letting the expensive burning roots fall onto crystal dish. Hermit is the term she uses to call herself, but appearing as she is now-- it would be much more accurate to call her a witch. ] Come now, Ginko~.... [ From within her sleeve she pulls something out. It's a single lotus, and she sets it before him. Perhaps it's a gift. Or a bribe. ]

In what ways have I not helped you? What you have encountered is just a test of determination.

[ Oh, but she could follow him for quite a while, and then toss him to the side in about a decade. The best way to ensure that he be rid of her meddling is through ensuring he's boring. But who could really say what that would take? ]

[To call this wrong, would have been an understatement. Dean wasn’t the one that loved monsters; he ganked them and then he got the hell out of dodge. That was the way it’d always been. The way it should be. Until Rebekah.

Now it felt like his whole world was spinning out of control. Dean had come to Mystic Falls to kill Klaus, simple as that. How was he supposed to know the attractive blonde he met at The Grill would end up being the son of a bitch’s sister?

Couldn’t kill her; even if he had the means, Dean just…couldn’t. Pacing the small area of the hotel room, he turned his head, green eyes staring straight at Rebekah as he ran one hand through his short hair]

We can’t keep doing this. You get that, right? [His voice carried a hint of anger; truth be told, he was more pissed at himself than her] Your family would kill me without freakin’ blinking. And…this…whatever the hell this is between us, it’s not gonna save your brother.

*Ginko takes a slow, lazy drag of his cigarette, holds it, then lets the smoke escape through an equally slow sigh. The lotus goes without a single glance in its direction.*

Your efforts have wholly been useless and in vain.

*Although he was tired from so much wandering, he moves to rise from his seat and pick up his hefty pack, slinging it carefully over both shoulders.*

I tire of you, and I hope we never meet again.

*Welp, don't mind him, he just wants to leave right now.*

{Sorry he's not quite stockholm-affected right now. I just can't wrap my brain around it in that way right now. @.@;;; I thought I could.}}

[wickedthiswaycomes]

[ She raises an eyebrow at that. Those words, that statue-- he's just like the others. ] You hope? That is all? [ A small laugh, and she rises as well. Although for her, she hovers rather than stands, letting fabric rustle with the slightest of wind. She extends the heated end of her pipe towards him, dangerously close to his trademark pack. It would be horrible if it caught fire now, wouldn't it? ] I am my own person; I follow who I want... unless you have something to offer me that is better or bargain with, mm?

{ NP We can try a different scenario if you want? Or just continue with this and see where it leads? }

[ Hm. My thoughts are either Aurora is brought to Storybrooke, present day, or an earlier meeting back in the Enchanted Forest before the curse took hold. Whichever idea you like better. ]

[Rebekah's fallen for a hunter before, and she paid the price for it -- her whole family had. You'd think she'd learn. But she always falls for the wrong men, and Dean is no different.

She shouldn't be surprised by his words, but she is. She cares about Dean, but of course that's not enough. Because he wants to kill her brother, the same brother who had chosen Caroline over her. The one who never chose anyone but himself.

Even when she turns her back on Nik, his presence still dictates her life. It just isn't fair.

She stands up from where she had been sitting on the bed, making her way towards him.] And who says I am trying to save him? Nik has more than earned whatever comes to him now. I am tired of putting my life on the line for his.

I don't want to give this up.

Idek 4? Or you can roll if you want.

*Ginko shifts to try and get his pack out of the way. Among his supplies, he has important cocoons that he uses to transmit messages instantly between people with the matching, duplicate cocoon via the uro-san. But... speaking of.*

If you are not careful, we could be lost to eternity. Don't touch my pack again.

*Especially if they are in a closed space. If an uro-san was loosed, opening up a closed space would take them to a location where only one person has ever escaped - and it took over a decade.*

{We could always transition it to 4-1. Since she's easily stronger than he is - and I don't even know her canon oh, she has info in her journal. Duh. XD;;; Or just see where it leads. c:}}

[michaelsword]

Yeah, I get that. [It was one of the things they had in common; how much family controlled and dictated their lives. Not that there was any comparison between Sam and Klaus.

As she stepped closer, something in his expression hardened, as if Dean could just will all of those feelings away. All of this, it’d be easier if Rebekah had just been a one night stand. Another name on the list. She wasn’t, though. He hated how much she meant to him; how the pain in her eyes created an ache that didn’t go away.

Arms down at his sides, Dean lifted his chin just a touch] But it doesn’t change what you are. You drink blood and…that makes you a monster. [The slight tremble in his voice was obvious. Because in his heart, Dean didn’t see her as a monster]

What am I supposed to do?

I rolled a 1 or a 7 for the first one. You can choose. And "ironic jealousy" for the other one.

[wontlove]

[ Brian was annoyed, more he was totally comfortable with. Annoyed that he'd let Jack actually get to him like this. It was just too much for him, to see him actually fucking holding hands with some random little twink. And so he was storming down the hallway to Jack's room, his eyes bright with anger as he knocked three times before simply opening the door.]

We need to talk.

[wickedthiswaycomes]

Don't touch, you say... [ She withdraws the pipe somewhat, a cold smile set in place. Instead of replying right away, she will float right through him to his opposite side- it would feel like virtually nothing to him- effectively hovering between him and his way out. As always, she likes to place herself above who she meets, so she floats just a head above him, if only to look down.

A moment passes. She inhales from her end of the kiseru... and then simply exhales the scented smoke apathetically right in his face. ] Maa, you care what would happen should we be lost in eternity...?


{Sounds like a good idea!}

7 → 6ish (seems to work with that other thread we had)

[grindr]

It was never a surprise when Steve left. He always left to go.. do whatever it is he did. It crossed TJ's mind once that they guy might have a family somewhere, but Steve just didn't seem the type. But what did he really know about the man? He never stayed around long, but he always came back. TJ promised himself he was done with all this: the vanishing for weeks, for months at a time and all the secrets and distance. But as soon as Steve showed up at his door, all his resolve melted away.

Maybe if he was sober, he'd have more willpower. Yeah, right. TJ liked trying to convince himself he'd be a better man if he would just kick all his bad habits: drugs and booze... and Steve. But what could he do when Steve showed up again, just standing at the door like there was nowhere else he was supposed to be? Inevitably, they ended up in bed. Again. Once all the fire of anger and passion cooled and they lay there in the dark, TJ started wondering why he kept trying to convince himself this was a bad thing.

"How long are you here?"

[easily]

[The words cut in a way they shouldn't. He's not the first person to call her a monster, but it hurts more, coming from Dean. Is that really how he sees her still, even after everything.]

Like I can help that? It's not as if I chose to be this.

[She was murdered by her own father, given blood without knowing what it would mean, what it would make her. It was supposed to help protect her and her siblings, but all it had actually done was condemn them.

She never wanted to be a vampire. Once, a long time ago she had been promised a cure, a chance to be human again, to live a normal life, but hundred of years have passed since then. She doesn't delude herself like that anymore.]

I can switch to blood bags, I don't have to feed on actual humans.

[michaelsword]

[Releasing a slow breath was the only way that Dean managed to keep his composure. The same question had echoed over and over in his head almost the entire night. How was he going to give this up? How could he cut her out of his life?

The answer was obvious. He couldn’t] And that fixes everything? It’s putting a band aid on a freakin’ gunshot wound. You’ll go back to drinking from the tap at some point. [Was he trying to convince him or her? Dean didn’t even know anymore] Then I’ll kill you. Because that’s what I do.

[His voice lacked its normal conviction, though. Stepping forward, Dean raised one hand, brushing an errant strand of blonde hair from her face. The look in his eyes said it all; he could call her a monster, act like it was easy to just up and leave…but it wasn’t the truth] Rebekah…

[easily]

You couldn't kill me even if you tried. [It's a defensive answer, one that's built in a thousand years of living. But it's true. He doesn't have a white oak stake.

She also likes to think that he cares too much to do it, but she's been wrong before about that sort of thing before.

She does know though if it came down to it, she doubts she could kill Dean.]

Dean...

[Her heart flutters a little as she feels his hand brush against her skin.

What were they going to do?]
