The one conceit of this meme: humans (or human-expies, whatever beings they may be) mate for life. With this comes the typical trappings of "mating for life" - indescribable closeness, contentment around your "destined," and, of course, in your all-too-familiar worst case, jealousy and rage should the bond be threatened.
Oh, and there's also the little caveat that, should your mate die, you die as well. But that's not too much to swallow, is it? The whole thing is only a small conceit, you know.

PROMPTS
romanticism | You approach the potential of mating with a dreamy hope. It will be just like a romance novel! distaste | Ugh, mating? You're going to put it off...or maybe even try not to do it at all. imprint | That's them. That's the one. You both know it, and you can't keep away. first | The first time you come together sets the bond in stone, not to mention sets the stage for the rest of your lives. share | Some mates are able to communicate and share their secrets through a mental link; others have to do it the old fashioned way and just speak up. calm | When one partner goes berserk, there's only one person in this world who can get them to settle down. comfort | Merely being in the presence of your mate can turn your stormy day around. heal | Scars, mental or physical, can be mended with the right love from a mate. need | Your body is going through actual physical withdrawal due to being away from your one and only. protect | Whether the threat be real or jealously perceived, you have to keep what's yours from harm. obsessed | You're beyond jealous. You've taken it too far mistake | Mating with them was not the right decision, but you can't take it back. cheat | Despite your being mated, you've chosen to break a sacred trust and go outside the home. death | There's not much will left to live in you after your mate has passed. Even if there was, it's not like you have much of a choice not to die. old mated couple | You've lasted a long time. This may be your "happy ending."
[Both Greed 1.0 and Greedling are available, though if you aren’t familiar with Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood canon, you should check my permissions or kinklist for an important note on Greedling if you want to do something sexy and/or romantic with that version of Greed. I like doing sexy and/or romantic things with both versions of Greed but I think that, if you want to do that kind of stuff with Greedling, you should know what you’re getting into first.]
[Glenn's species is like this. They bite a gland at the nape of their mate's neck (and have theirs bitten in turn) in order to merge each other's scents and be permanently marked as each other's. Of course, one has to already be even partially of his species first. What's a little loss of humanity to be able to have nigh-tantric marathon sex with one's mate?
[Pros: really awesome immune system, ability to tolerate high temperatures, powerful body, high regeneration from harm, insane shapeshifting (even changing one's physical sex if desired) and tentacle abilities, animal attraction (you can be a Disney prince/ss!)
[Cons: cannibalistic urges (can be calmed by eating animal meat), average 5k+ daily calorie diet required, debilitating mating cycle every New Moon, animal attraction (it's because they want to mate with you, since those cells are communicable between species.)
[There's a lot of info in his journal for those who are curious.]
[yoooo you interested in doing something with this big magical fairy tale grump? just give me an idea of what your preference for setting is (and any others i should know about) and i'm good to go.]
