The Long Distance Meme

Whether it's a temporary parting or your entire relationship has played out through letters and late-night text messages, being separated from your sweetie is never fun. Friends and family might shake their heads and encourage you to look closer to home, but you know this person is worth the wait.

Fortunately, there are certain ways you can ease the pain of loneliness. Messages, letters, phone calls, video chats, sweet but fleeting reunions... made all the more intense by the distance between you. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, after all...

Prompts!

1. LDR
Maybe you met online, or maybe you've been separated by circumstances. Regardless, the miles between you don't change how you feel about them - and you're prepared to show them that!

2. Workaholic SO
They work so hard (or so far away), they're almost never with you. Why not remind them of what they're missing out on at home?

3. Camgirl/boy
They say your relationship isn't real, but what do they know? You're infatuated, and you'll do anything to prove it.

4. Historical
You may not have all the conveniences of modern technology, but oh, you make do. Racy letters, secret trysts, and always finding one another the very moment your paths may cross again keeps the flame alive.

5. Parting Ways
You haven't separated yet, but you will soon. Whether it's for the first time or the hundredth, you'll make this moment count.

6. Wildcard
Anything goes!

[AUs, canon and crosscanon all welcome! #3 probably wouldn't work out well with her but her ancestors were shaman at one point so anything historical could involve her being a miko or shrine maiden of some sort.]

[AUs, canon and crosscanon all welcome! #3 would probably work better if it was some sort of net relationship through a shared online game. All other prompts are fine as is!]
