It's getting close to Thanksgiving, have you thought about who you want to be your pretend bf?


Public displays of affection make people very uncomfortable.

The Fake Relationship Meme


You're not together. But you need to make people think you are. Because of reasons.

Maybe you secretly can't stand each other. Maybe you like each other, just not like that. (Or do you?) Maybe this is the only way you'll ever get to be with your crush. Maybe you just need to give off that couple vibe in public, or maybe you're going to be forced to engage in some hot'n'heavy fakeout makeouts. For reasons, okay?

You know the drill. Post, tag, profit.




  1. Home For The Holidays ⇢ You need to prove to your parents that you do so have a significant other. Just until they're gone.

  2. No Singles Need Apply ⇢ The place is perfect, but the landlady will only rent it to a nice, respectable couple.

  3. It's Not Safe For A Woman Alone ⇢ One of you is vulnerable in this big, bad world without a partner to protect you.

  4. Public Relations ⇢ There's only one way to stop these pesky rumors: start your own.

  5. Undercover Mission ⇢ They'll never suspect a couple of lovey-dovey honeymooners of... whatever it is you're actually up to.

  6. Marriage Of Convenience ⇢ It's good for both your families. Or your finances. Or your hetero street cred. Whatever: might as well make the best of it.

  7. Well That Escalated Quickly ⇢ It's common knowledge that you're together, except you're the last to know. Is it worth correcting people?

  8. Free Space ⇢ Bring your own bottle scenario.

[First thought is she literally hires him to play boyfriend at the family function, no prior knowledge of each other just literally going in cold. Very old school romcom-ish. Second thought, good acquaintances or outright friends as she's been spending time in his world, either she's got the hidden crush on him or he on her (not at all picky here) and still begs him to play boyfriend because she can't take being the only single one/non-knocked up cousin at the holiday event. She would absolutely agree to something embarrassing in exchange for this, general escalation into actually messing around if it fits/seems like fun for the tone.]

[ Man there is an appeal to both of them. I'm fine with either - I think my preference would be for the later, but there is something funny to be said for hiring a mercenary/adventurer type guy as a date sounds funny. But I think there's more potential mileage for the pre-existing dynamic. Maybe? But really if you feel stronger either way feel free to go for it. ]

Becoming involved with superheroes has led to a lot of Fun(TM), Interesting(TM) experiences, many of which are way more dangerous than Joe would want if he knew about it, but regardless: she would not say that being struck by lightning was a good thing in itself, but it's certainly brought things into her life that she would never have experienced otherwise. Case in point: playing happy couples with Oliver Queen. Because he needed a date-slash-distraction to a charity event for a case to gain access to a Person of Interest's house, and Barry is both available and willing for the small, small price of Oliver covering the cost of her going on a quick shopping trip for a suitable dress and accessories.

Because she doesn't have anything fancy enough for it. Not because she wants to go shopping on Oliver's dime or anything.

She's all dolled up when she meets up with him for a quick strategy session before heading out and making their big entrance, and yes, she 100% does a little twirl in her wheelchair to show off because obviously the most important thing that should be first on their list is getting his approval on what his credit card paid for. "What do you think? Up to your usual standards?"

[i'd prefer something ~awkward~ but fun with 2, 4, or 5! we could even combine them, or for a wildcard, it'd be great to have someone that he's spontaneously declare him as their boyfriend, and he now has no choice but to quickly adapt.]
