The Immortal & Mortal Romance Meme

You'll outlive this person, it's a given. Their lifespan compared to yours is but a speck, an ant in the eyes of a god. You're immortal - or, at least, extremely long-lived - and they're doomed to die. Yet, somehow, you've begun to love them. Will you nip this in the bud and try to cut things out from the root...or will you let yourself be set up for inevitable loss?

how to play;

Comment with your character and your preferences (ie, m/f, no smut, etc). Also, be sure to include what part your character will play, otherwise you become nearly impossible to tag.
Reply to others.
Use my prompts or make up your own.

prompts;

unspoken: There's something between you that is more than platonic, and you both understand it though you've never discussed it.
pursuit: Someone admits their feelings; an attempt at courtship may begin, though what qualifies as "courtship" or "dating" may differ between the two of you.
push them away: You, the immortal, know you'll only watch the mortal die and no matter how you view them, you want them to look for someone better. So you'll try to drive them away from you.
inexperienced experience: Despite your many, many, many years, you actually have no experience in romance...or in sex.
unique show of affection: When you've been on this earth as long as you have, you may have ways to show your love that are beyond the norm.
actually forbidden: Your long-lived race is forbidden from romantically fraternizing with the ones
accept it: Damn all the consequences, you both know the risks. You want to be together.
lovemaking: The obligatory smut option. Is it as you'd expect, or do your differences raise their heads here, too?
differences: Speaking of differences, your cultures and your experiences sometimes clash. Do you work through them and learn from it or does one of you get frustrated?
condescending: Despite your years, it's important to remember to not be patronizing to your partner.
make the most: You only have a limited time together. Make every moment count.
baby mine: The two of you have an offspring. Who do they take more after...and will they have their immortal parent's traits?
come and go: A partner who has lived for centuries or longer may find themselves drifting away or finding they need to keep traveling as they always have, but they know there's always one place and one person they can return to.
i watched you change: You can only watch them grow older and weaker. They may doubt your love now that they are not as young or beautiful as they once were. There is no need for that.
the end of the line: Your love cannot keep them alive, but you will be with them in their last moments.

[ m/f + f/f for canon-mates or previous cr, m/f for assumed cr. can roll with show, book, or au. can make either role work but defaulting to immortal 🥲 ]

[ immortal. up to date with s2 but have a slight preference for book-verse for her. ]

[ Immortal though purely "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" means, since Enchantress will keep her alive. ]

[ mortal. ]

( available as immortal goddess or formerly immortal magician. familiar with these canons. )

[ immortal. ]

(played canon immortal demon (bad choice ladies) but also have an asoiaf au where he is known as the undying priest because...you guessed it, cursed (?) to not die.)

( mortal )

[ Willing to au to the other one or human what have you, or break rules entirely with two immortals, not playing the smut but OK with implied offscreen. ]

[ either role ]

[ immortal by default, but happy to switch things up. reincarnation is a thing in her canon so that can be thrown into the mix too. ]

( OOC: Mortal with a side of optional "different places, different faces, time is a wheel endlessly repeating itself" reincarnation DLC because like a bad penny you just can't get rid of him. )

( yes hi immortal-ish character here, let's make it angsty )

( mortal. )

[ Y'all know. ]

[ Immortal but it's complicated. Even more complex than regular immortality, for that matter. ]

[ The immortal with a bonus of it's canon that there are infinite reflections of each world some with only minor differences from one another so you can absolutely pull the 'I lost you in the world I found you in so I found another world where you're still alive/don't fucking hate me yet'. ]

(The immortal one. Also a queen and a dragon. So many good things in one package.)

(The immortal one but ever at risk of losing memories of the present time with you.)

(Woefully immortal.)

((Immortal by canon))
