bakerstreet | A job to do

the bodyguard shipping meme

You're a pop star, or a royal, or maybe even the last of your kind who will bring about the Earth's redemption. Whatever the case may be, you're in a position that may be a bit dicey if you attract the wrong kind of attention.

And you're a bodyguard, a soldier, a knight - a protector. Somehow, you've been roped into protecting this person. You'll be rewarded, of course. The work may be cut out for you, but just do your job, keep your head down, and it'll go smooth.

Except for when the two of you break the bounds of professionalism and feelings begin to flourish. Being in such close quarters may get you to see the other in a different light, and saving someone's life just may be the ultimate form of intimacy.

Could this be the real danger? To feel so strongly for the one you've sworn to protect...are you compromised?

How to Play

1. Comment with your character and preferences, being sure to put if you want to play the guard, the guarded, or either. Also, you may want to put if you prefer fluffy, angsty, or smutty interaction - or have no preference.
2. Comment to others.
3. There are no prompts, because there are so many potential options there could be a hundred. Feel free to play anything: the beginnings of the relationship, just meeting, getting used to each other/not getting along at first, the obligatory first time, a threat on the protected's life and how their protector responds, how the feelings between the two has changed the protection, etc. Your only limit is you.

[ guarded. not improbable that he'd get a bodyguard anyway, being the son of a diplomat and a worldwide traveling star violinist. can be adjusted into a complete au setting too if that's easier. open to discussing scenarios or just rolling with whatever you feel like putting down~

canon, cross-canon, cross-mediums, ocs: all fine. m/m only. 21+ ]

[oh. I am very intrigued to give him this asshole for a bodyguard. Jason will be an amazing guard, but he's definitely not a people person and has major baggage but I love the idea of him falling for a musician. In Jason's canon, he's a vigilante, so I can either mod that or it can be part of it and he's playing bodyguard for some reason. Maybe to get close to Murata's parents because they're tied to something Jason's been tracking? Open to ideas.]

[Definitely the one being guarded. M/F but OTA for castmates; AUs, canon and crosscanon all welcome]

( the guarded )

[ooc: Either role.]

[ooc: open to either role.]

[ooc: Most likely the guarded.]

[Definitely the guard]

[Open to playing either role.]

((The one being guarded preferably.))

[ Most familiar with CF and AM but happy to play in other routes. AUs loved, crosscanon welcome. As an emperor she's probably the guarded one but I'm very open to her saving her guard in battle. ]
