Florence Nightingale Effect Meme

1. Previously aloof tough character gets injured, lets the love interest treat their injuries, and reveals a newfound trust and intimacy. This might or might not involve the tough person making that hissing sound when the love interest touches their injured face, but not quite pulling away...

2. The love interest gets injured, and the tough character treats them and suddenly reveals a tender side.

It's an old trope, admittedly, but an understandable one. You're hurt - physically or emotionally - and perhaps even on the brink of death. And then, out of the blue, someone saves you and brings you back. They heal you, they feed you, cloth you, wash you. In the human mind, the intimacies can bring up warm feelings, even in the hardest of hearts. Will you fight them or let them grow? And what about when it's time to leave? You may not feel like leaving your angel...

HOW TO PLAY
1. Comment with your character and preferences. Mention if you'd prefer to play the healer or the healed - or both, for greatest versatility!
2. Reply to others.

NOT EXACTLY PROMPTS, BUT IDEAS

- The finding and saving
- The hurt/comfort care process, I.E. cleaning wounds, bathing, wrapping bandages, etc.
- Feeding, finding clothes, etc.
- Mother hen behavior ("you're still hurt, don't do that!")
- Comforting from trauma
- Unwilling patient
- Pulling away, trying to be all aloof
- Realization of growing emotions
- Denial
- Attempts to instigate something more
- Jealousy at seeing your savior with someone else
- Confessions
- Mutual attraction
- First (accidental or no) kiss
- Obligatory sex scene option
- Make your own scene

Lunafreya Nox Fleuret | FFXV | ota

[luxoraculi]

[ I am good with either or, but likely Luna will be the healer as... well. That's kinda what she does. ]

Rey | Star Wars | OTA

[weilding]

[ Hurt Comfort? Yes, please. Pretty much all on the list actually. Either side of the equation. But face it, if it's Ben she's going to be the healer. ]

[neverreallygone]

edelgard von hresvelg | fire emblem: three houses

[crestsidestory]

[ Most familiar with CF and AM but happy to play from other routes. AUs loved, crosscanon welcome. Willing to play either role here but her medical knowledge is basically battlefield first-aid/healing potions. Bonus points if we turn some level of antagonism into affection. ]

[etisoppo]

[ chiming in oocly first only to check: would you be interested in a gen thread instead of a ship one? and are you alright with sort of just loosely blending their canons to facilitate this! otherwise i can happily get us started if you're interested. c: i'll roll for who's injured/who's helping unless you have a preference. ]

[lasthungrywolf]

[Want a thing with a street punk? Could be AU'd into ATLA as a non-bending subject of the Fire Nation. Maybe he helps her fend off Fire Nation soliders, getting singed in the process, and she heals him while he gives her a place to hide out? I'm up for permutations, though, considering how fast her healing usually goes...]
