bakerstreet | Bodyguard

the bodyguard shipping meme

You're a pop star, or a royal, or maybe even the last of your kind who will bring about the Earth's redemption. Whatever the case may be, you're in a position that may be a bit dicey if you attract the wrong kind of attention.

And you're a bodyguard, a soldier, a knight - a protector. Somehow, you've been roped into protecting this person. You'll be rewarded, of course. The work may be cut out for you, but just do your job, keep your head down, and it'll go smooth.

Except for when the two of you break the bounds of professionalism and feelings begin to flourish. Being in such close quarters may get you to see the other in a different light, and saving someone's life just may be the ultimate form of intimacy.

Could this be the real danger? To feel so strongly for the one you've sworn to protect...are you compromised?

How to Play

1. Comment with your character and preferences, being sure to put if you want to play the guard, the guarded, or either. Also, you may want to put if you prefer fluffy, angsty, or smutty interaction - or have no preference.
2. Comment to others.
3. There are no prompts, because there are so many potential options there could be a hundred. Feel free to play anything: the beginnings of the relationship, just meeting, getting used to each other/not getting along at first, the obligatory first time, a threat on the protected's life and how their protector responds, how the feelings between the two has changed the protection, etc. Your only limit is you.

((The guard. Minus the shipping, unless it develops organically/there's good chemistry.))

[ Willing to play either role. Open to males or females. ]

[ooc; either role.]

[ooc; probably guarded.]

[Modern (reincarnation) AU or canon (probably pre-war? or no-war AU). Either way, definitely not the bodyguard (not that he can't and isn't reasonably good at defending himself, but, well...)]

[ the bodyguard ]

[ we can bullshit how it happens, but reluctant bodyguard loki pls!! gen or ship. ]

[The one being guarded maybe, although she's not going to be happy about it. Information about her is here, and an in-depth post about her seer powers is here.]

[The one being protected, in all likelihood. She may not be best pleased by the whole thing, though. AUs, assumed CR, canon, and crosscanon all welcome. (She comes in a vast assortment of AU flavours.)]
