A May-December romance is any where there is a larger than average age difference between the partners involved. Sometimes this is met with disapproval, sometimes it is arranged, sometimes it is abuse of power, and other times it just happens and it's no one's fault or doing. This meme focuses on those relationships.
- Post with your character, preferences, and note their ages (or an estimate if no canon age is given).
- Please don't forget to note how much of an age gap you're comfortable with!
- Look around, tag. Have fun! Make up a scenario or make use of the prompts below.
beginning1. confession - you've just confessed your love. How is it received?
2. coerced - they have more power than you and you have no choice but to go along.
3. arranged - this was an arranged union and may not have had anything to do with your choosing at all.
4. secret - it would be forbidden or frowned upon, but you can't resist...
middle1. difference - does the age difference make things difficult?
2. domesticity - just a day in the life...
3. experience - one of you has more experience than the other, but at least they're eager to teach.
4. argument - you're fighting for one reason or another.
end1. breakup - things aren't working.
2. discovered - your forbidden secret has been found out and judged.
3. another - one of you has fallen in love with another.
4. happily ever after - against all odds, you've made it work.

tomie | junji ito's tomie | f/m*
for those unfamiliar with the canon, tomie is from junji ito's manga of the same name and is terrible. no, seriously, she's awful in just about every way possible: vain, cunning, cruel, self-serving...and also a hellbeast from beyond our mortal realm. physically, however, she appears to be a beautiful young girl; she's so beautiful, in fact, that any man who sees her will instantly desire her and said desire will eventually drive him to madness. that part almost always ends in the death of both he and tomie. or maybe "death" is more accurate, since tomie is incapable of dying. time after time, murder after murder, she is reborn as long as there is some part of her body still remaining. even worse, if there's more than one bit of her out there, each piece will become a brand new, fully-formed tomie.
expect some dark business to go down here. vanilla's possible, of course, though fluff is not. more realistically, xeno, body horror, and gore/possibly death is more on par. if you have any hard nos, please let me know before we start so i don't tread into anything you're not down for.
*f/m because tomie finds men more useful and easier to manipulate, and she especially has a taste for older men or men of resource, but i'm down with playing f/f if you can think of a reason this ageless she-bitch demon creature would be interested in your lady. )

Xingqiu β Genshin Impact β m/m
very happy with any beginning except coerced, and any middle except argument; more interested in beginning or middle prompts. love to play out early on and letting it develop, courtship interactions, and playing with secret relationship things, but I am always open to hearing other ideas for scenes and situations. Xingqiu can be the enthusiastic pursuer for a more demure older character, or the inexperienced half to a very experienced other (in any aspect of knowledge or skill,) or the more positive half to a gloomier/stoic/serious older character, as just initial examples off the top of my head!
castmates and cross-canon equally welcome; for castmates, especially love Zhongli, Diluc, Kaeya, Childe, but open to anything with anyone if you want to discuss it! really open to anyone aged older than him, can't really think of a limit, so feel free to PM if you have questions. if you'd like a starter made, just ask! )

would you prefer to start, or would you like me to? immediately at this moment I can think of a way of starting off but without much of a direction, if you don't mind kind of free-handing through the scene; but if you have a particular hankering for something, I am open to anything! )

if you'd like anything changed, let me know!
Xingqiu waits until every last student files out of the lecture room, save for, of course, himself. he plays as though he's consumed in his book where he sits, eyes mostly down upon the pages of a novel tilted down below his desk, but his ears are on the space around him, waiting for the first breath of near-silence that tells him that the rest of his peers have left. in the liminal space between this departure, and realization that Xingqiu has barely moved, however β he indeed does just that.
he rises from his seat, the book patting shut in his hold before he takes up a small pouch of cotton linen he tucked away at the beginning of class, scooping it up under his arm. with his other hand, he takes the book and walks the aisle between tables up to Murakami's desk. )
Master Murakami. ( this part, by now, is as routine as it is ceremonial; Xingqiu stopping at his teacher's desk for some excuse he's devised over the course of the lesson, or perhaps in advance when an ideal opportunity occurs to him. sometimes to needle for more information, other times to pretend (and poorly) at a failing to grasp the topic or instruction given... Xingqiu may be good at masking things, but he isn't a master liar. for today, however, it's all earnestyβ ) I wanted to thank you for today's lesson, and also, to return the book you lent me.
( and such a book is procured, the philosophies of summoning via the different and varied elements of the world. given Xingqiu's existing ability and water elementals abound in the world, it was a very pertinent suggestion from his instructor.
...in fact, it had been thrilling to have offered from Murakami. even though Xingqiu's code of honor is stronger than the steel of the swords he has learned to wield, even now... it almost pains Xingqiu to relinquish back unto its rightful owner, after fostering a keepsake of Murakami's, one so rife with fascinating knowledge and, undoubtedly, quite the meaningful presence in every fiber of the book's woven binding. it makes Xingqiu a little selfish, not enough to sour him so much that he resents the return of the book β but enough to make it feel denser as he holds it out for the older man to take.
but return it he does, always true to the word he gives another. ) How are you today? ( it's...a question that is loaded, but delivered gently. a veneer of politeness suspends any implication that might be spotted by and especially about this, their so-slightly unkempt teacher with middling-energy in enough of a show to at least draw a concerned curiosity, though Xingqiu isn't sure how brittle that veneer truly might end up being...
but it's a question with a purpose, part of that purpose hiding tucked away in his arm, its reveal doomed to be both soon enough, and not terribly exciting...but it is fated to be genuine. )
