bakerstreet | Not such a bad guy

The Good / Bad Pairing Meme

Attraction is a strange beast. It's hard to pinpoint just why you may want to shag that particular person...or, even worse, why you're in love with them! And can't that be bad enough when the two of you are, but what about when you're completely different? Or maybe you're not even on the side! You're a superhero (or at least on the side of good), he or she's a super villain... How would your relationship pan out if things were like that?

Okay, it may not be as dramatic as that. You two could just be the "good" guy/girl in school, the goody two shoes, who's fallen in love with the "bad" boy/girl, leather jacket and all. Whatever the case may be, things won't be easy.

How To Play
- Comment with your character, putting the standard information somewhere in it. You also may want to specify your preferences or where your character would fall for each set of prompts. Some characters may be different things for each: ie, someone like Dean Winchester would probably be a traditional "bad boy" in the first sit, but a hero in the second.
- Tag others! Feel free to use the RNG. Roll twice. First number chooses the prompt set, second the prompt number.
- Have fun and be respectful to others.

1) Every Good Girl Loves a Bad Boy
1. Summer Lovin', Happened So Fast: One of you is straight laced, while the other walks on the wild side (interpret that as loosely as you'd like). Somehow, though, you've come together.
2. Daddy Don't Approve: Your friends or family don't like your partner.
3. Be My Lover but Don't Be My Friend: You're just in it for the sex.
4. Uptown Girl: There's more than just "good" and "bad" at play, here; there's also class differences.
5. Ashamed to Be Seen: You care about this person, but you're rep's more important.
6. Love 'Em and Leave 'Em: You thought you were important, but your lover's just left you by the wayside for some reason.
7. Against All Odds: Somehow, you're standing up to all the naysayers, and you've lasted.
8. WILDCARD

2) Heroes and Villains
1. Love or Hate at First Sight: Pretty self explanatory. This baddie/good guy is a little different than the rest.
2. Got to Have You: The good party's been kidnapped by the bad, for some reason. Is it love, lust, annoyance? Who knows?
3. Stockholm Syndrome: You're the one who's been kidnapped or hurt, but you're falling in lovelust with your captor.
4. Reverse Stockholm Syndrome: You're the kidnapper, but you're falling in love/lust with your charge.
5. Unrequited Love: One of you cares for the other, but it's not returned.
6. Purification: Through the power of love, the bad guy has been won over and changed affiliations!
7. Corruption: Through the power of lust and manipulation, the good guy has fallen in order to be with the other person.
8. The BatCat Scenario: You've both decided to stay on your own sides, but whenever you meet, there's enough UST to power a small city.
9. Bad End: One or both of you have been killed or hurt by your affair.

It had started out as just another job. Tail local vigilante, nab local vigilante, deliver local vigilante to the client and go home with a briefcase full of cash. Items one and two got checked off quickly enough, if not easily enough. But then item three got hitched on something, and much to Kane's irritation, some time later it's still hitched.

At first, the situation was nothing but an almighty inconvenience. Not that he didn't have the skills or the equipment to hold a man as resourceful as the Arrow long-term, but it took time and effort, both of which Kane felt he'd spent enough of on this job. Bad enough the client wasn't coughing up for their wealthy playboy who likes to play Robin Hood, but as a solo act the job of keeping an eye on Queen was all on him.

But as time went on, Kane started growing more amenable to the arrangement. He still wants his money, but he's starting to think he might actually miss having Arrow-boy around after he's gone. He'd expected Oliver Queen to be nothing but a rich twit, but the guy's kept him on his toes. He's good conversation in the evenings, and if Kane's being honest, he's not bad to look at either.

As he enters the vigilante's cell, he sees that Oliver is meditating. Surprisingly, Kane doesn't interrupt him -- at least not until after a long moment of just watching him.

"That meditation shit really good for anything?"

He has a tendency to flirt with villains, it's his thing.

[[ OoC: Adela is most likely to be the "good" or the heroine in any given pairing, though I don't mind changing her to a bad guy's minion or something if that works. Willing to work with any scenario, let me know if you want me to write up a starter! ]]
