Interspecies Love Meme

Vampires and humans. Angels and demons. Ghosts and the living. The idea of "opposites attracting" is hardly a new one, but with the rise in popularity of supernatural creatures, aliens, and other sentient beings beyond our human understanding, the forbidden romance trope has been injected a shot of fresh blood- sometimes quite literally.

This meme does just that, taking the whole "not meant for each other" thing to it's most logical extreme. Of course, it's not always angst and depression. These days, mermaids and bird-people can have their relationships in peace to some degree.

Rules

Comment with your character, putting any preferences you have (ie, "humanoid characters only," F/M, etc). Also, be sure to note your character's "species" for others to reference (Name | Character | OTA | Human, ghost, mutant, alien, vampire, god, zombie-catgirl hybrid, etc).
Reply to others. If your characters aren't different species, feel free to AU or anything else like that.
Use the rng to determine your prompt.
Also I didn't think I needed to say this, but be excellent to each other. Dick comments and anon bullying are not on.

Prompts

Meeting: Did you know there were, I don't know, werewolves before this? Or maybe you thought all aliens were evil. Will this...thing change your perception?
Falling in Love: You know you're not the same, but your feelings don't care.
Self-Hate: Perhaps you're mad at the being you're in love with, yet you're more angry at yourself.
Can't Be Together: Whether for self-inflicted reasons or societal rules, you can't be in love with who your heart has chosen and it's putting a strain on you.
Pushing You Away: Things are getting too intense, and for both of your sake, you want to make friend/crush/lover hate you.
Beauty & the Beast: One of you is beautiful, the other hideous. Maybe, though, the beautiful one is ugly in the eyes of society, depending on where you live. Whatever the case is, you don't look the same.
Confession: Screw the rules, you're going to tell that sweet girl/guy/other how you feel! What can go wrong? Or this is something you've put a lot of thought into and you're scared, but you're going to do it.
First Time...or Not: Finally, the two of you are taking the next step and getting physical. It may go off without a hitch, depending on your...you know, or- OH GOD, HOW IS THAT GOING TO GO IN HERE. Wait, you have a...?
The Kinky Option: Hey, maybe being different will pay off. Think about it. A long tongue? Ghost powers? Sounds like it could be fun in the bedroom.
Prejudice: "What are you doing with that dirty monster?" "You know we can't be involved with humans!" "We don't take kindly to your type around here." Why can't people just leave you two be?
Facing Your Instinct: It's hard to be with someone when you want to suck their blood. Or eat their brains. Or possess them.
Because of Me: Your lover has been dragged into your fight or hurt by others of your kind. Now they're in the crossfire.
Standing Up For You: Hey, knock it off! I don't care what you think, he's perfect in my eyes.
You Don't Know You're Beautiful: The fluffy option where you're trying to make your loved one see just how much you care and how they're beautiful to you, no matter what.
Gifts: Show your affection with a gift from your culture.
Starting a Family: Can you even reproduce? Is it something you want to consider? Perhaps it's new ground to tread, so you'll have to be the first to think about it.

[Every civilization has a myth or legend about the ravens: the keeper of secrets, a tricksters, the bringer of light, altruistic and occasionally heroic. Robin walks the fine line between humanity and the other, this realm of the living, the realm of the dead, and the world of spirits that lies in between. She's the last witness for the dead and yet not of death itself but chooses to celebrate and preserve balance of life. She sees signs and omens. Some would say say she's a shaman but she's something all together different: A wereraven, the Corax. Her shapeshifting people are of many races and nationalities, but share one culture, were almost slaughtered to the point of extinction by allies jealous of their powers long time ago and though they are rare now a days, the Corax tend keep their existence secretive and but remain the most accurate eyes, ears, and tongue of the world, moving in clandestine circles to keep allies informed.

If the Corax were long-time allies with the Ieuqut, this could bring this strange raven-haired woman with snow white skin and black eyes into his community from time to time to bring news about the Cold War and information non-natives invading the Arctic for research. This periodic exposure may allow Ukiuvak and Robin to become familiar with one another, maybe slowly overcome that prejudice against all humans being bad (technically she was born a human but became something more preternatural now), and develop a mutual understanding and friendship.

One particularly winter when the fickle Arctic weather becomes too harsh for Robin to safely travel back to human civilization and so must remain with the Ieuqut for the season that the relationship blossoms into something more.

If that sounds good to you, are there any particular prompt that you'd fancy?]

[She was a human who's become a catgirl so she can even be confused/uncertain about her own body as well as her partner. She can also jump between worlds for her own "canon" so she can straight up be in someone else's canon or we can mash things up.]

[A genderless being of dark given bug form more or less. Avoiding 16, everything else is fair game.]
