The world's oldest profession.

[processions]

THE WORLD'S OLDEST PROFESSION There's no one who understands better than you that in the trade of skin and vice and sex, there's no room for emotion. "Love" especially is worth less than the money you can ply - and more dangerous for its trouble, too. Still, you've broken the one rule of sin (don't fall in love, never fall in love, not with a client) and there's no turning back. So what will you do? Here's the rope made of decisions: use it to run away from the bed you've made...or tighten the noose. No need for explanation needed here, it is what it is. A Pretty Woman-esque shipping meme for a romance (or something like it) between a prostitute and...someone who's not a prostitute! Obviously, while the meme is based on a romcom that glosses over all the darker aspects of sex work, threads here could be fluffy, romantic, tropey/meta, tragic, or serious. Triggers could very well abound. If things are going to be on the uglier side with your character, like abuse, drugs, or underage, please make a note of that and respect preferences. Make a top level comment with what role you'd like to play + any other info. Reply to others. Play out meetcutes, forbidden romances, business-turned-more, rescue, etc. Roles: The Worker: Everyone has a different story about how they ended up in this lot. Tragedy, force, addiction, money troubles, or genuine love of the work, it doesn't matter, as all the roads lead to another notch in the bedpost and some more money in your - or your boss's - pocket. For once, though, the person you're "hired" by...they're different. Actually, fresh-faced or veteran, you may just discover that you're a little different yourself, more heart of gold than hooker. The Client: You were looking for a little fun and you didn't mind paying. Or, on the other hand, you might have just stumbled into a den of iniquity on accident or for other business entirely. One thing's for certain...one person's caught your eye, and whether it be love at first sight or an arduous process, you want better things for them. What do you plan? A rescue? Beating up anyone who'd hurt them? Be careful you don't get hurt in the process, whether it be at the hands the criminal element that plagues the shadowy side of life or, unfortunately, at the hands of the one you care for most. Setting: Past (Roman brothels, Victorian whorehouses, Renaissance courtesans, etc.) Modern Sci-fi or fantast

( probably the client, but open. )

douma / kimetsu no yaiba / m/f

[lotusandlies]

(either role, aus available! for him as the worker I imagine he'd be rather costly; send me your lonely debutantes.)

Henry Sturges: The Last American Vampire / Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

[whichisit]

[Either, Henry is extremly sex positive.]

Clint Barton 616/MCU

[nexttarget]

[sex worker]

Treize Khushrenada | Gundam Wing

[kittykatz]

Client.

With this one, it might end in bed or it might not depends on the other party involved. Default is he needs someone as pretend companion and it must be someone who does not already know him closely.

Helmut Zemo | MCU | ota

[experienceandpatience]

[Client, but I'm open to talking about worker too.]

Bucky | MCU | ota

[metalarm]

[Worker most likely.]

[wealldosillythings]

OOC: Okay, I'm curious - independent or part of an agency?

Kind of thinking they had a weird meetcute sitch where they've maybe seen each other in a particular neighborhood. Bucky's crossed paths with an officer who suspects he's working, and Molly pops in all diminutive and sweet looking like "um sorry he's with me" "quickgetinmycar". fast forward to present where she pays to hang out with him - originally she just wanted to check up on him, but turns out she's lonely and works weird hours and there's palpable sexual tension and she realizes she wants to sleep with him bc she cares about him. Molly being Molly would probably jump to "oh no. I have to end this"

Dorian Pavus | Dragon Age Inquisition | m/m

[luxuriousdespair]

[Just abandoned his family and name, has run out of money, needs to make some more up somehow. m/m for sex but will be pretty arm candy for women interesting in hiring him for a party to pretend to be their lover or something.]

[tieflingtarot]

[How about Molly decides if he's gonna be the distraction for a heist/some Nein shenanigans he's gonna be a Goddamn Spectacle and obviously he needs amazing arm candy for that?

/and then they can have the fun part of the party after to celebrate!]

Linhardt | FE:3H | ota

[sleepyscholar]

( a very uncertain client who might just end up offering tea and a nap together instead of asking for sex )

Ted Lasso | Ted Lasso | ota

[theodorelasso]

[ Some suggestions: Client who noticed that the sex worker was having a bad day, and is literally just here to give them a nice relaxing day without any demands. Client who's having a bad day and might need some comfort/company, but is going to be incredibly respectful nonetheless. (He's very pro sex worker rights, which means if someone wants out, he'll do everything to help them, but if someone enjoys it, he'll be supportive.) OR, worker who leans towards the courtesan/companion side of things where it's emotional as well as physical, but that one will probably be more AU. Or something else you can think of! Either way. ]

Akira Kurusu/Persona 5 Protag | Persona 5 | M/M

[apocalypsejack]

[Canon is a prostitute/gang leader/brothel Madame in a post apocalyptic/1984 style universe. Probably the worker. Preference for sci-fi/modern. is 1/2 alien, 1/2 human in canon but can play as full human.]

Todoroki Touya | BNHA

[ the worker. ]

Nico Acosta | OC | M/F

[anoranza]

[ooc: Either role.]

Evie Montgomery | OC | OTA

[la_bonne_chose]

[ooc: Either role, but I would love, love, love a courtesan verse for Evie. Sold into service at a high class brothel, she's spent years entertaining all sorts of patrons, never expecting to meet someone that they actually care about. Maybe she has a patron that returns time after time, and although she is reluctant to admit that she has fond feelings for him, eventually does. I have so many horrible ideas of the hurt I can inflict in this verse, but ultimately, I would love for them to have a happy ending.]
