Two broken people

Mutual Healing Meme

Healing doesn't come quickly, whether the need comes from physical or mental wounds. But you're trying regain your strength - and yourself. People, as a general rule, are kind, or at least not outright inflammatory to you, it seems. Still, you just can't connect with them. No matter how nice, how caring, they don't understand. They've never experienced anything like what you've gone through, or they're not like you in a way that lets them see what you still go through; they have no frame of reference. Sure, they have sympathy, but it's not the same. So there's no real connection, despite any friendliness. It's so easy, then, to feel detached... ...until you meet them, in this place of both death and healing. They may not have been through the exact same struggles, they may not be exactly the same as you, but they know what darkness is light. How they handle this fact may be better or worse than how you do, yet you can see yourself in their actions. And for once? There's connection; more than that, too. Slowly, you can feel yourself opening up towards them, and then, falling for them. Is this something your used to? Will you fight your feelings, or will you jump at the opportunity to be with someone who can begin to get you? You may have little choice in the matter, as your instincts may just reach out to be with whatever compatible contact you can get. That's better, in the long run, though. Who else could have wounds like yours? Essentially, it's what it says: a "romance," in the loose definition, or "shipping" meme for characters who have been through the wringer or have hangups.

[Once upon a girl who tried to save her brother, a prince, from a dark fate. For her devotion, she was rewarded with pain and abuse, and turned into a witch. Her brother became a devil and used her to manipulate her peers. The witch suffered humanity's hatred until one day she met a foolish girl who aspired to princely nobility. The witch doubted her, but the little princeling promised to save her.

The princeli- her friend - fell to the seductions of the devil and the betrayal of the witch. But her friend fulfilled her promise anyway and saved her.

Also, Anthy is very broken and 14 - so other teenagers are preferred for actual romance.]

[child experiment weapon, grew up into an anti-social, super-powers having ex-con. Some dumb jarhead (complimentary) gave her a chance after they saved most of the galaxy and now she's a teacher of kids with powers like her. Still could use some help with all that trauma ]

[ Uh. Give him money, he'll do most whatever. He's not a prostitute, okay, period. He actually might even beat you up. Not that he'd take your money. He'd just beat you up if he got frustrated. ]
