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.

( No 1-1, 1-5, 1-6, or 2-3. The psychic knows who you've been with. Open to just about anything else.)

(No incest, blackmail, or anything in the noncon department. Stockholm acceptable.)

[Sharon considers the door of the hotel as if it might be one of life's great mysteries. She knows she was in the right place to meet him. She just wasn't sure she wanted to meet him. She slips the key into the lock and lets herself into the room, checking it for threats as a matter of habit.]

[She frowns as she drops her bag onto the bed and goes to check the window. How long had they been meeting in supposed secret like this? Fury knew, of course. He's had her spying on Impossible Missions Force through Brandt ever since SHIELD had heard Brandt was made IMF secretary's right-hand man. Technically, it's a dirty trick SHIELD is pulling, but Sharon knows IMF likely has people in SHIELD, too. That's how spy games worked - you kept your friends close, and enemies closer.]

[Not that she thought IMF and SHIELD were in danger of being enemies; the bosses in charge just didn't like willingly sharing knowledge and tended to suspect the other agency knew more than they were telling.]

[She returns to the bed, still silent. It wasn't that she wanted to come clean to him. She just didn't want to continue manipulating him like this. Brandt had done bad things, sure, but he was still a good guy. But the mission came first. The mission always came first. So she'll see it through. For now.]

[ no 1 or 8. ]

[No incest or noncon.]

[Bruce had known the silence of his mansion all too well. How empty it seemed to be when it was only him. No hired help. Just the soft chirps of the birds and the grasshoppers. He'd invited officer Blake over knowing how this would end. Or how he had hoped it would.

Normally a man like him would be expected to be seen with a girl that was equal to his social ladder. Not another man who worked for the public as a officer on the streets. So yes he had felt the need to keep it a secret.

The fireplace roared with flames as he poured two glasses of his finest wine. Maybe this was a little too much. But he wanted to impress his guest. Treat him and act as a good host.]

[ Preference for women, but open to interesting ideas. Default canon setting is pre-Grace's mom since he's less angsty and...well, mad, but if you want another time period I'm game for that, too. ]

[ Premise in a nutshell: Steve fell from the train instead of Bucky. Reverse their roles; Bucky got frozen and came out Captain America to carry on his friend's legacy, and Steve was found by the Russians and became the killer Winter Soldier.

Lots of possibilities for forbidden love here, across enemy lines or inside the Red Room itself. Any questions, feel free to PM me. If you'd like him reformed, I can try that too. ]
