Offer protection

[interjection]

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.

Sylvain | Fire Emblem

[ruinedlance]

Most likely the bodyguard, but open for either role. Happy to plot or jump right into it. Also happy to start.

[mythrone]

( Interested in acting as a guard for a foreign prince? Maybe Noctis was heading to Garreg Mach to help Dimitri's cause, but his own guard got ambushed by Empire soldiers. Sylvain could find him hurt and in need of some help making the rest of the trip.

Or he could already be aiding Dimitri when he and Sylvain head out on a [secret?] mission of their own.

What do you think? Other ideas? Totally cool if you're not interested, though! )

yu ijin （mercenary enrollment ） m/f

[normalstudent]

[ He's canonically a bodyguard trainee, but has plenty of experience due to being a highly-trained ex-mercenary/child soldier for the past decade. He takes his job seriously and looks damn good doing it. ]

( either )

nito nazuna | ensemble stars! | ota

[pyonpyon]

( probably the guarded?? but totes down for an AU where he's a newbie guard or something else. )

june moone ( + enchantress ) | dceu | ota

[exhumings]

[ Not in need of protection as much as she requires someone who can strategically snuff her out should Enchantress take full control. Protect humanity from her, that's what she's saying.

Of course, emotional attachments could make this transaction...messy. We'll go with "messy." ]
