You're a strong person, perhaps physically, perhaps mentally, perhaps both. You're brave. A steel rod of a backbone means you face your enemies with little hesitation, doing the job no one else wants to do. That kind of intestinal fortitude is commendable. You have a purpose. You have a mission. There is something about you that people want.
And you have a weakness.
Maybe nobody knows it or maybe everyone knows it, but your weakness is the person you're in love with. Yes, in love. Someone like you can be in love, whether you've admitted it to yourself or not...or to them. More than anything, you want to be with them and keep them safe from harm. Sometimes, you just can't. It's more dangerous around you than with you.
Whether you're together or not, you should hope that no one with an axe to grind with you knows that this person is your blind spot...
HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character, preferences, whether you're open to smut or no, etc.
- Be sure to mention if you'd prefer to play the one with the weakness or the "weak spot."
- Reply to others.
- Use the RNG or not.
PROMPTS
ship
- First Meeting: You've never met a person who's caught your interest quite like this; you may not know how to respond to these unique feelings.
- With Them Before It Happened: They came first. The situation that drove you to your "destiny" occurred later. You can't just throw away that old life.
- Unexpected Savior: You were down and out. They found you and nursed them back to health. You feel indebted to them..and more.
- Normalcy is Abnormal: You would never take things like dinner, picnics, dancing, or the movies for granted. Some people can't have that, after all.
- Missed Date: Of course, you have to bail out on dates occasionally. Duty calls.
- Shown Love: Who could ever care for someone like you? They can. They show you selfless affection
- Bad Apple: You’re rotten through and through - except for your genuine love for them.
- Light of My Life: Everything in this world seems terrible except for them, you’re beautiful, shining light. For them, you can live.
- Something There: Before, you were cruel to them, or they to you, yet now both of you see past that blustery beast (even if one of you was, say, a prisoner);
- Keepings Tabs: You have to know that your most important person is safe, or else you just can’t think straight.
- Stay Away: For their own protection, they have to keep away from a dangerous person like you. So no matter if you love them of they love you, you have to break up with them for their safety.
- Happened Before: The person you loved before got hurt because of you and you swore you would never love again. Still, you’re feeling that way once more, letting those walls down, and the old patterns are repeating themselves over and over.
- Important: You’re a king, a lord, a president, a top assassin. People would love to get close to you - or take you out - if they could find the right path in.
- Bodyguard: Your mission is the one you love (though you didn’t start out loving them), and the one thing keeping you from keeping them perfectly safe is also them.
- Berserk Button: From minor slight to major injury, no one hurts your lover without retribution.
- Left in the Dark: They don’t know what kind of life you truly lead. How long can you keep that double life a secret?
- Became This for Them: What you are now is all out of your adoration for them. You’ll do anything to keep them safe, even if it means becoming a monster.
- Not Accepted: You’ve finally revealed what you are in all actuality to them and the reaction was not positive. They’re repulsed by you or by what you’ve done.
- Dynamic Duo: They’ve accepted everything about you, including your mission. In fact, they want to help you fulfill your purpose.
- Family: You two have started a family together, so there's even more to lose.
- Blackmail: Some sinister somebody is holding the happiness, safety, or wellbeing of your loved one above your head to make you serve them.
- Hate Me: It’s not enough to leave them. You have to ensure their safety by making them despise you and never search you out.
- Destroy: You know that they could be your undoing, so you'll take them out yourself. You refuse to be weak.
- Kidnapped: Your weakness has been spotted and picked at, quite literally. Now, the person you care for is in the clutches of someone who wants nothing more than to see you destroyed.
- Bad End:
Is it in bad taste to want to name this prompt after a certain comic book character? The worst of your fears has come to past. Your beloved is dying in your arms because of their relationship with you and you weren't able to save them in time. - Placed in Your Life: The one you thought you loved and trusted was only a mole all along. They were placed in order to get you to make certain decisions and never really cared for you.
- Happy Ending: You've made it to a safe enough place in your life for you and your love to be stable and settle down.
smut
- Reluctant: You don't want to hurt your partner during intimacy, which is a distinct possibility.
- Solace: There's only one place where you find comfort about what your true nature is, and that's in their arms.
- Manipulation: There's one way to worm into your heart and onto your good side; they know it, and they can make you squirm. That's not always a good thing.

Hannibal Lecter • Hannibal
#1 - If you're game, can switch to brackets or a different tense.
------------------
Stakeouts had to be the most boring experience in history for normal people. Jack had asked Hannibal to come along because it might be the Ripper at work again. The man himself stood up on the sidewalk, nearly gone in the shadows of the alleyway. Only Hannibal's sharp eyes would have been able to see him and that the conversation he was having on his mobile phone wasn't a pleasant one. Will Graham still sat silently in the passenger seat while Hannibal had been relegated to the back. The rain that had been pattering lightly on the car's roof began to slowly build in intensity, driving Jack back into his place in the driver's seat. He thumbed the speaker function of the mobile on and snapped at the offending device. "I'm asking you to come here. I need you to come here."
A voice made tinny from the device with a few crackles of static answered him. The accent was gutter Liverpool, pure Scouse without pretension. "I said 'no' and meant it, Jack. Your killer? Your Baltimore Ripper? Not my game, mate."
"You've helped us before." Jack Crawford was drawn tight, not exactly odd but there was a heavy embarrassment to it this time.
"I'll tell you two things about your Ripper, Jack, and you listen to Uncle John. One, he or she is human and nothing but. Two, he or she doesn't like to be spied on. Got a scorch mark on my ceiling a foot wide telling me that." Funny, those crackles of interference only happened when the Englishman spoke.
"Then he or she is-"
Whoever 'Uncle John' was interrupted him. "No. Not a witch, wizard, warlock, magician or anything like that. A human. But..."
Will turned his head to give Jack an unbelieving look. Psychics and the like flocked to the FBI. Every single one claimed to know something. While Jack's anger never abated, he ignored any silent disapproval from Will or the doctor. "But what?"
"But your Ripper is dangerous. Complex. Enough to rebuff a simple spell without trying. I tried to see through their eyes, and whoever it is bounced me off hard without trying."
"Then try harder. I want this Ripper."
"It's been fun, Jack, but I've got other things to handle, my sort of things. Good luck."
The line went dead. Before it had, strains of cheap bar music could be heard. Half a block down the street the same tune was screeching from a jukebox's speakers in the local watering hole. Hard for most to hear over the rain which was slowly becoming snow.
"Jack," Will began.
"I don't want to hear it, Will," Jack growled as he pocketed his mobile. "He's a resource. One I don't use often."
"Sounds like he doesn't let himself be used." Was that a little bitterness on Will's part? A lance at Crawford's laid bare ego?
That distant music was easier to hear as the rain shifted fully to fat flakes of snow that were almost blinding the windscreen of the car. It had changed to some honky-tone country tune of someone run off with someone else. Ordinary people wouldn't have noticed the change in the air, as if new currents were running through it and shifting what should be to what was wanted to be starting with the weather. A metronome would have been able to time it better, set those changes to a beat like an operatic shift from one act to another.
"Any action from our man up the street?" Jack asked, changing the subject as his scent shifted from anger to self-protection.
"None yet," Will muttered with a sigh. "He's not the Ripper. Too formulaic. He's preparing for something. He killed those girls, I think, but he's... I don't know... getting ready for something."
The wind began to gust and drive the snow harder, a woodwinds section foretelling the arrival of something.

14, appropriately
Akande, for his part, is helping himself to the champagne. They have it for a reason, after all, and it's not like one or two glasses will so much as slow him in case they do run in to trouble.]
I must say, you have far more patience than I with this sort of business.
