Essek Thelyss | Critical Role | M/M

[zauberdecke]

A fellow wizard--

I had never allowed myself to become close however him with his flame-hair and intense eyes allowed me to feel things that I had never felt before, not like this. He was so pivotal to me that he managed to change my alignment.

Nico di Angelo | PJO canon | m/m

[refantasma]

Percy Jackson

I'm over him though.

sarafa | nier re[in]carnation

[unabelle]

...I thought, for a brief moment, that it could have been my late husband. Until he showed himself as a vile thing, unworthy of my love.

But, when I first saw him, I thought I could have been happy with him. Just for that moment.

rui kamishiro | project sekai

[hyperfix]

Does it count if they're first and still current? If so, then...a friend. A good friend, which is how I want it to be.

Samantha Murphy × OC × OTA

[andgracetoo]

He was the most lovable meathead I've ever known. Taught me everything I could've wanted to know about both fighting and fucking. But I think he was always meant to break my heart, and I've been able to make peace with it since then. Pretty sure a mentor isn't supposed to be your soul mate, if that's even a thing.

Miharu Arisato (FeMC) | Persona 3 Portable

[diemtocarpe]

Well, he can get really grumpy...

The Swede | Our Flag Means Death | OTA

[ourlittlenordicangel]

I have never been in loff before...

Claire Bennet || NBC's Heroes || OTA

[infinite1ups]

He was a serial rapist who tried to assault me. Now he'll never hurt another girl again.

[extrasensory_problems]

Woah that's.....really scary.
How did you meet him?

lapis de fiore | original | ota

[crisantemo]

[ As much as she hates to admit it... ]

I thought I could trust him. Then he shot me, so that was the end of that.

Gu Sui | The Best Actor is a Fox Spirit

[flirtyfox]

I didn't believe in love. I'd only ever seen lead to painful things, but then a very handsome general was sent to keep an eye on me. He's serious, but he also makes a very cute face when he's flustered, and he's fun to tease. My first love has been my only love.

the amazon — omina

[yearofthehorse]

She had a gentle touch. Her hands didn't know the weight of a sword until I left.

As I have brought war to many places, I brought war to my home first.

Cloud Strife ↳ FF7R ↳ M/F

[finishingtouch]

.. isn't this a bit too personal?

(To answer it is hard, difficult even for him with muddled fragments of memories. Muddled promises and smiles that were directed toward him; the voice in them was something he'd always remember down to her red eyes looking at him with a sort of happiness and yet...)

Shinobu Jacobs | No More Heroes 3

[rippedoff]

It's kinda embarrassing to look back on now. But the first guy I really felt anything for was the first one to defeat me in a ranking battle. He's also the one that cut my arm off when I refused to concede defeat.

[Never mind the fact that she somehow managed to lose the same arm twice after that in addition to her other arm, eventually. Why was it always the arms? But even she knows how unbelievably insane that sounds, so she adds:]

But he did spare me when the rules stated that you're supposed to kill your opponent. Even when I begged him to kill me. And I was able to get my life on a better track because of it.

He wound up rejecting my advances, but at least now I know that we were never gonna be a good romantic match anyway. Still happy to call him my master, though.

Suga Koutaro | The Forest of Drizzling Rain | OTA

[gemuinemanagement]

A childhood friend.

...I almost got her killed.

Kaiou Michiru | Sailor Moon

[fuckyeah_seaqueen]

Much as I'd love to claim it was Haruka, my first crush was Sailor V. Then again, half the girls I know probably realized that they were into girls because of her, so it's probably not too surprising.

It was only a little bit awkward when things clicked into place for me later on.

when your paid's ran out so your icons are a mess. >_<

[tiaraed]

[Oooooooh this is the juiciest thing she's heard in ages.]

Your first crush was Minako!?

okkotsu yuta ( jjk )

[prolonged]

.. My childhood friend. Then she died and I accidentally turned her into a terrifying cursed spirit.

[experiment01]

[The look she sends Yuta is curiously shocked. A cursed spirit? She tilts her head to the side, a tiny chirp parting from her mouth.] ..I have so many questions but I will refrain from asking. Sorry that happened to you! [The voice that speaks this for her comes from her phone's text-to-speech app.]

strahd von zarovich | dnd/curse of strahd

[alliegiance]

My Tatyana.

There was never a creature of greater beauty, and never again will there be.

[unabelle]

It sounds as though there's a story to be told, there. Perhaps some great romantic tragedy.

[She does love a good story, even if Strahd reeks of fucker vibes.]

jill valentine | resident evil

[torsion]

I met Chris in my early twenties; everything about him was my ideal. It's impossible to not feel something for someone like him and I'll always love him.

Before that? Jean Claude Van Damme.

[ She's a simple gal with a very obvious type. ]

[slurring]

Jean Claude Van Damme, huh?

[ He clearly chooses to ignore the elephant in the room deciding to go gentle on her for now. ]

Brett Talbot | Teen Wolf

[aconitia]

When Cruel Intentions or Remember the Titans was on, and I realized I didn't care about football but everyone was hot.

[threeisapattern]

[he just holds out a hand for a fistbump tbh]

Tara Markov | DC | OTA

[judascontract]

(CW for grooming, CSA, abuse, gaslighting, manipulation. the judas contract sure is an arc.)

[There's technically two she could go with, but she decides to go with the one that is worse because she's herself. And despite everything she refuses to be ashamed.]

I was fourteen when I met him. He was... well, I never really asked. The white hair made him look older, I think, but he was probably in his mid thirties.

He found me in a club I'd snuck into. They all thought I was some nobody but he knew what I was - I was so much stronger than my brothers, so he picked me up and turned me into a killer, all for his own deranged grudge against the people he ordered me to befriend. I'd kill for him, and I'd enjoy it because it meant I was strong, it proved that I was superior.

He never loved me. But he knew he was the only one who'd ever looked at the real me and not been disgusted, so he pretended anyway, and in his mind I'm sure he "did what he had to" so he could keep me under his control.

He abandoned me at the last minute and left me to die. He lived. Now I'm just one of those things he wants to forget about so he can pretend to become a better person for the thousandth time.

Lexy Cross | Chucky | OTA

[dollblecrossed]

His name was Junior. He was a good kid. And an even better boyfriend. Even when I was a really shitty girlfriend.

Steve Rogers (de-serumed AU) | MCU | OTA

[shieldborne]

I don't wanna talk about this. [Abrupt, sharp. More brusque than his usual.

A moment later he relents:] I dunno. Kinda had a thing for Myrna Loy when I was a kid.

[That still sort of sounds like he's dodging the question.]

last saw the og captain america 3000 yrs ago bear w me... also info in journal!

[ezrapound]

Myrna Loy.

[ Jim huffs a faint smile, glances down at his hands where they rest on the hard black metal of the Willys' steering wheel. ]

Joan Bennett for me. Her in Disraeli...

[ It seems a safer subject than prying further into whatever the guy's patching over with the admission. Probably some girl he's missing—maybe she said she'd write to him while he was in basic and then just didn't. Or guy, for that matter, if it's not someone in his platoon. ]

Basil Hallward || The Picture of Dorian Gray

[toomuchofmyself]

Oh, well. It was quite the usual thing: a schoolboy romance. When you're young-- Eton, Oxford- nobody thinks anything of such foolishness.

The difference, of course, is that he grew out of it and got married and I...I remain as we were.

[gemuinemanagement]

...Is that something people grow out of? Love.

weiss schnee . rwby . f/m

[weisstune]

His name was Neptune Vasilias. It was very shortlived, despite saying he liked me, then began flirting with another team of girls. I had been forced home to Atlas after the attack at Beacon. Never spoke to him again.

Ganymede | Greek mythology

[eagleswept]

His name was Nikomedes.

[A little smile creeps up on Ganymede's face, entirely unconsciously.]

A couple years older, from one of Troy's noble families. He was in the guard, I first noticed him when I came back after a year in Dardanus with my uncle. He'd begun to grow a beard---

[A sheepish, shy little laugh.]

Anyway.
