The Firsts Meme



It's your first time! Whether it's first kiss, first date, or even your first child, your character will be plunged into the nervous or terrifying experience that is their first time.

The list:
1. First kiss. Pucker up!
2. First date. Who's paying? Dinner and a movie, or a night under the stars in the back of your convertible Corvette?
3. First time. You've been together awhile, and it's about time to consummate things.
4. First child. Was it an accident, or planned for? You decide!
5. First Anniversary. You've made it an entire year without killing one another! Time to break open the bubbly.
6. First pet. Dog or cat? Fish tank? Rhinoceros?
7. First house. Apartment in the city, or perfect white picket fenced home! Either way, better make the best of it.
8. First fight. And things had been going so well; is your relationship strong enough to outlast the tiffs?
9. First breakup. But they were your one and only! How will you cope with losing them? How will you ever manage to find another?
10. Make up your own! Or mix and match!

As per usual, the norms apply! Post a comment with your character, and others will use the handy dandy RNG to choose a random scenario, or they'll simply pick one they like! Keep rolling and playing your little hearts out, and enjoy!

[ John was slowly trying to move on. Of course, it was unsurprising that it hadn't been an easy road. Listening to his best friend lie to him about everything he was, then commit suicide like that wasn't something he could just forget. For nights and nights after that day, he was plagued by nightmares. Even nightmares and hallucinations followed him during the daytime. He had been a total wreck. Emotionally unable to return to 221B Baker Street, or to be near anyone who reminded him of that life, he'd crashed at Harry's place, sleeping on her sofa. She'd been sympathetic for a while, but eventually, they'd started driving each other crazy again.

Eventually, he went back to work, after finding he hadn't been fired for his extended absence. His life was still a shadow of what it used to be, with Sherlock, but at least he was functioning again. He'd started seeing some of the old people - Greg, who met him fro drinks every once in a while, and Mrs. Hudson, after he finally moved back into the flat. Mycroft helped pay the rent, although John had vehemently argued at first, not wanting to take his charity.

And then there was Molly. She'd never really noticed him much before, not when Sherlock was there, but now, they had each other. It was still very new, and John had only ever kissed her on the cheek, but it was a good thing. So when he opened the door to see her that day, it was a pleasant surprise.

He raised his brow, taking the box from her hesitantly. ]


Molly, you really didn't have to... [ But he trailed off after opening the slightly squirming box, and seeing the adorable kitten peering back at him from within. John half-grinned a little bit, shaking his head quizzically. ]

You... got me a kitten.

That's quite all right! I'm not the quickest tagger most of the time myself. :3

[Molly is painfully aware of the apparent emptiness in John's life. He's gotten better about it over time, and she doesn't doubt that he'll be fine before too long, but... well, he deserves better than that constant melancholy and brooding. He deserves a lot of things, none of which he's gotten recently, no matter how much Molly tries to help him.

And then, of course, there's only so much she can do before she worries she might be smothering him. The last thing she wants is to push him away.

But seeing that little grin on his face excites her, makes her think that maybe she won't mess everything up for him, for the both of them. She grins in return, but then it falters for a moment, eyes widening a little as she realizes something.]


Oh! You're not allergic, are you? I mean, you wouldn't be smiling like that if you were but you could just be being nice, and I really should have checked before just giving him to you. I hope you're not; he's a little standoffish at first, but he's very sweet once he gets to know you.
