The Forbidden Lovers Meme
But it's not so simple in your case, is it? Because no matter how nice and happy your relationship is, the truth is that nobody else wants it to continue. Either you come from rival factions or pursue a relationship that is taboo or illegal, but this little bubble of happiness you're currently sharing would infuriate anyone who might find out about it.
That's all right, though, isn't it? As long as you have each other, you can make this meeting wonderful regardless of what everyone else thinks.
- Post your character and their basic information to the meme. Feel free to either set a scenario or leave your comment blank and open for one.
- Your character and the commenter are now engaged in a very bad romance! This is their first meeting after a long while, so sparks are definitely going to fly.
- But what about the details of their relationship? For that, you can either decide on your own or head to Random.ORG and roll for one of the following options! First, roll for the kind of relationships they have:
1. Keeping it in the Family: It's not unusual for siblings to love each other, or for parents to love their children. What's unusual is when you love each other too much, even if you have the excuse of not being related by blood.
2. Pay for Play: Your relationship wasn't built on love. It might be that one of you needed money and the other was willing to pay for a pretty face and a few wild nighs. It can be that one of you has something that allows them to blackmail the other into being their obedient toy. Whichever the case, there came a point where this relationship became too important for your lives to let go.
3. Rival factions: You might be coming from families that have been at each other's throats for generations, two rival corporations or two kingdoms at war. Or it might be the law that keeps you apart; a cop and a criminal is hardly a decent pair, after all. Whichever the case, you must be stealthy about this or the wrath of both your sides will fall upon you.
4. Balance of Power: One of you is enjoying a very different social standing from another. It might be that one of you is richer than rich and another is poorer than poor. Or it could be that one lover's standing is far above the other's, like that of a master and a servant or a soldier and a general. Of course, nobody expects this to work out. Even fewer would approve of it.
5. A Pair of Cheaters: One or both of you are stuck in another relationship, either out of convenience or because of love that cooled a long time ago. You know what you're doing is wrong and hurtful, but it's too late to stop. This relationship is the only thing that gets you off anymore.
6. Immoral and Illegal: Your relationship isn't just wrong, it might get you into serious trouble. Whether you are a teacher flirting with their student or a nun breaking her vow of celibacy to be seduced by a handsome friend, the slightest hint of being discovered will ruin your life forever. Problem is, you're far too involved to stop.
7. Toxic Relationship: One of you is clearly bad for each other. They might be a delinquent, a criminal or something else, but the number of bad habits they're bringing into your life is ridiculous. You should be stopping. Now, if only you wouldn't enjoy the chaos they're bringing into your life so much.
8. Stockholm Syndrome: It's not a relationship at all. One of you is keeping the other against their will; either as a political prisoner, a kidnapping victim waiting for a ransom or plain an unwilling toy. At some point, the relationship reached the point where the lines became blurred and you're no longer sure if you want to be rescued from this supposed hell.
- Done choosing? Good. Now roll the numbers again and decide on the circumstances behind your meeting:
1. First Time for Everything: Your relationship has been going for some time, but this is the first time you decided to let it advance into the bedroom. One or both of you might be nervous, but it's fine. This step should have been made a while ago.
2. A Usual Rendezvous: The relationship is now at the point where meeting up for sex whenever you're feeling safe and bored is a common affair. The world outside might hate you for this, but it's nothing compared to the routine of your relationship.
3. Ironic Jealousy: Oh my! One of you have seen the other in the hands of another. It doesn't matter if this "another" is their rightful partner, their spouse or whatever else. You belong to each other, so there's nothing wrong in getting jealous and a little rough for it.
4. Doubts and Hesitation: No matter how good your relationship is, it's wrong and one of you has been feeling that much more deeply these days. It's time for a confrontation - either you spend one last night before breaking up or one manages to convince the other that this whole thing must continue.
5. Caught in the Act: You've been doing your best to hide, but it didn't take you far. Someone saw you and it's only a matter of time before the whole world knows about your affair. Do you separate in order to satisfy everyone else? Or do you recklessly discard your old lives for the sake of forbidden love?
6. After Separation: Due to the constant pressure on your relationship, you decided to separate and lead your own lives. For better or worse, it takes you only so far. A chance meeting sends you into each other's arms and leaves you wondering why you broke up in the first place.
7. Happily Ever After: A lot of people protested against your union, but you never let it stop you. Now you're either leading a new life away from everything that forced you away from each other, or you convinced the world that this is what's right for you. Tonight is the night of celebration and not leaving each other's arms, no matter what.

They had crossed some lines in the end and there had been no going back even when he knew that he should be able to end it all.
However he wasn't able to deny her. It was vicious circle, entwined by the forbidden. Both of them were guilty but he was the one that should know better.
Even so here they were again, dancing around each other in a way that only they knew. Everything felt familiar between these four walls. There were no prying eyes or judgemental gazes.
He couldn't help but smile at that.

Snow crunching under her feet and her breath visible in the air as she continued to walk the streets, Blake could feel how she was once again being followed. It kept happening lately. She would turn and look, of course. Even double back with her hand ready to draw her gun if need be. But she could never find anyone and the prints in the snow didn't seem to show up as much as her own did.
She was starting to think it was her own paranoia getting to her. She was one of the [very] few remaining cops topside in the city and it was important for her to keep a low profile.
But it was also important for her to help the shelters.
So far, nothing had happened to the shelters themselves and they were still able to get food and supplies (with Blake rounding it out with all the extras she helped bring in). But there was still that sensation of being watched, of something behind her.
Today, she decided to try a different tactic: she kept walking, not even turning to look over her shoulder. It was only when she turned a corner that she stopped walking and pressed herself up flat against the brick wall. Silently, she moved her hand to grab a hold of her gun and watched the edge of the wall that made the corner. She listened for the foot steps -- or tried to over the heartbeat thumping in her own ears.
Blake planned to put a stop to this today. ]
no subject
Not consciously; her eyes didn't make contact with his in a shop window's reflection, or anything as ridiculous as that. He's a professional, and she isn't an idiot. In fact, he thinks she's something of a professional too, in her own way. Or just a very canny civilian.
Which is what drew his eye to her in the first place.
When she slips into an alley, though, he pauses. A prickling of his instincts says he should be careful, in this one, so he turns instead and makes a circuit around the building, coming at the alley from another direction.
She hasn't emerged yet by the time he rounds the building. So he flattens himself against the wall, and peers around the corner, a quick glance that he reviews mentally for several seconds like a snapshot. Yes: she's there. Waiting. Knew she was being followed.
He digs in his pocket for a cigarette -- rare, to be getting them during the occupation, but this is the only luxury he pulls strings for. Lights it, and drifts around the corner, in her view, without looking in her direction. Just a mercenary taking a cigarette break. ]
no subject
Once she sees that she isn't, she moves down the alley towards him. As soon as she's close enough, keeping her hand ready to grab her gun. ]
Why are you following me?
no subject
Following you?
no subject
[ She knew she shouldn't lose her temper with this guy. It could blow her low profile or she could end up dead if he was faster than she was. But she knows she was being followed. And someone keeps following her when she's out.
He's the only person around - unmistakably part of Bane's merry band of mercenaries - so, unless someone else steps out of the shadows, he's her number one suspect. And him playing dumb is just really pissing her off. ]
Think I'm too stupid to know when I'm being followed? I know this city and I know when someone's creeping after me no matter what street I take.
no subject
Cigarette? [ Like a peace offering. ]
no subject
Or maybe it just catches her off-guard. Most men would get pissed off, not seem impressed.
She does continue to try to place the accent, though.
She wants to take a step back at the offering, as if it were a loaded weapon. But she remains where she is. ]
No, thanks. It's a nasty habit.
How many strings did you have to pull to get them?
no subject
[ The League is taught to keep mind and body pure. Barsad was never really totally League, though, was he? He was something rougher. ]
Not many. I am the strings, in this city.

rolled a 3! (AU time!)
she casts spells his way in an attempt to kill him then and there, but he's simply too quick. she's not skilled enough to catch him and her lancer seems to be getting more out of sparring with him rather than playing for keeps. it's an insult, shinji thinks, but never says it. not right away, at least. when the after effects of using the book of false attendant sink in, however, she can't help but mutter under her breath. standing on shaking legs and wiping blood from the corner of her mouth, she's almost delirious from the mixture of pain and magic both unwelcome in their abundance in her system. ]
Lancer -- th-this wouldn't h-have to happen if you'd just kill him like I ordered you to. [ she wishes every day since cu chulainn introduced himself into their lives that she'd forged a proper contract. ] We're not profiting from you playing around.
no subject
She still does. But she's confused by him and angry at him too, and it's becoming a sort of obsession. She wants to try every piece of him. She wants to figure him out and make him see her as she is. It's distracting.
But Shinji is hurting that, too, is distracting. She's torn, and it shows on her face.]
My apologies.
no subject
Don't waste your time apologizing! [ she snaps, baring blood stained teeth. though she'd have scolded her for not apologizing as well. ] Just make sure that it's his blood on your lance next time. That is my final order on the matter: That Lancer will die!
[ everyone will. everyone has to die at shinji's feet. ]
no subject
[Her expression is definitely a pout. Nothing's made her heart rise quite so much as these little battles.]
no subject
You need to work faster! You cannot play with him. [ because seeing how her heart rises when she's with him? it hurts. it makes her blood boil. and though shinji would never, ever dare to admit it: she's jealous of cu chulainn. mulling it over for maybe half a second, she crashes their lips together. ]
If there is something that you need, you seek it from me and only me.
no subject
But then there's a kiss, and it's ten years of twisted habit for her to kiss back. Physical affection was always important to her, always a giant part of her identity, but since the grail it's become the only way she feels connected. It's the way she gives and takes and curses and praises all at once, and Shinji knows very well that she's easily derailed.
It leaves her a little breathless, but at the same time she thinks she can still taste his tongue.]
...There is something only he has.
no subject
D-don't say those things to me. [ not when you're my only hope. ] It makes me want to throw up. [ she might anyway. ]
no subject
She can't hurt her that badly. Instead she lifts her Master into her arms, giving her a reassuring smile and kissing her on the forehead. There's something sad in her face that hasn't been there since just after the Grail, but but tried to squash it. It's not something she wants in herself, either.]
Wait til we get home. I'll have your uncle make crepes if you'll smile.
no subject
but she feels safe in lancer's arms. it feels like home.
her breathing slows, finding a steady and comfortable pace.
it's better not to think on whether or not this was a victory or loss.
not right now, at least.
she watches lancer's eyes carefully. ]
Mm... it's late.
Do you really think he will? [ not that kariya ever says no to that sort of thing. ]
no subject
[That's honest. Her desire to protect and take care of Shinji is honest. She's very much conflicted in many areas right now, but those things won't change for anyone or anything.]
no subject
With blackberries and cream. [ a simple, firm request. ]
Let's go home, Lancer.
no subject
[She isn't going to stop being interested in Cu. That's something entirely too deeply seated. But she can put it aside for the sake of this girl, at least when she's watching.]
no subject
she wishes everyone would answer her this way. ]
You're very important to me, Lancer.
Do not forget that.
[ because feeling inferior would always eat at her heart, she has to say it even if it goes against her sense of pride. for lancer, she too can put some things aside. ]
no subject
I am honored to be of use to you, my lady. As always.

4 - 2 i guess!!
he does not bother to turn on any of the lights; he lives alone, after all, and the only person that would potentially be awake at this hour (do Servants sleep, really?) wouldn't care either way. so the lights remain off, and Kirei makes his way to the bathroom like a blind sheep. ]
no subject
At first, he cares not about the creaks of the old house on the Church's land, attributing the noise to some small creature that made its way in. But then, he hears the door of the bathroom open. He opens one eye, and with an exasperated sigh, heads in that direction. There, he sees Kirei. Gilgamesh frowns, and the strangest mix of anger and pity display on his face. ]
What a pathetic state to return in. You test my patience for coming back at such an hour, Kirei.
no subject
the shirt that he wears under is soaked with it, but, like the priest coat, is dark colored and therefore makes it impossible to tell the extent of the blood covering his body. he takes great care in folding it and depositing it on the lid of the laundry basket adjacent to the tub. ]
I was not aware you were waiting for my return, King of Heroes. [ he reaches over, starts the tub. he allows the water to run over his fingers, testing the temperature, and to rinse off the small amount of blood staining his hands. ]
no subject
I could only wait for so long. The night had grown too long and so I attempted to sleep, but as fate would have it, you came back not long after that. But I have to wonder what would have kept you from nursing that wound of yours before returning. Cleaning those clothes of that much blood will prove difficult-- black is a color that can only hide so much.
[ He stares at Kirei's now-bared torso to try and assess the damage. Clearly, he hadn't lost enough blood to be fatal, but Gilgamesh finds himself surprised that he was able to make it back with having lost as much as he did. ]
Washing out the wound with water alone will only suffice up to a certain point. If you wish to avoid it becoming infected, you should at least use something a bit more potent.
no subject
but there are no wounds. the extent of the blood on him is not his own. ]
There is little concern for that. Go back to sleep, King of Heroes. I apologize for waking you.
no subject
You need not apologize, Kirei. I will return to bed soon, but if you have need of me, do not be afraid to speak up. This body can forgo sleep much more easily than most.
[ He stretches again, turning around to head back to the bedroom. ]
