reincarnation au meme

Ah, reincarnation! The possibilities are as endless as the cycle of lives your characters have led. Perhaps they knew one another in a life before what you now call canon. Perhaps canon is a past life for one they're leading now. Perhaps they've lived many, many times, and are now on yet another iteration... in space.

The choice is yours! But if choosing is hard, here's some prompt ideas:

Relationship:

Family: Siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, parents, children... The bond of blood remains strong, from life to life.
Friends: The most chosen of families. Perhaps you swore once you'd be best friends for ever-- how true it is!
Enemies: You have been rivals for longer than perhaps even you know. Maybe someday there will be an end to this feud... or not.
Lovers: Soulmates-- or at least, romantic partners. Maybe one life was enough, or maybe you'll keep loving them 'til the end of time.
It's Complicated: Friends to lovers to enemies to lovers to....... Well. You've lived many lives. People change, and relationships do too.
Other: A vindictive deity making you live and live again? A helpful spirit supporting you through incarnations? Something else entirely?

Situation:

Found: You've found one another yet again, in another life. How easily does it go?
Memory: One of you remembers... But the other doesn't. Or neither of you remember, but feel the pull. Or there's a terrible memory, rising up and making you lose all sense of when you are.
Coping: It's not easy, having another life (or lives) rattle around in your brain. How do you deal?
Repeat: Something from your past life is happening again. Can you make it go differently this time? Do you want to?
Denial: No, no, no. Past lives are just something for fantasies and fairytales. So why is this person so insistent they aren't?
Marked: For all your soulmate tattoo/scars/words AU needs. There's a mark connecting you two-- has it remained the same across lives? Have you?
Outside: Your family member/friend/love/etc. has a past life. You weren't a part of it-- but they've found the people who were. How does that feel?
Other: There's so very many reincarnation AU ideas out there! Play them out!

As per usual, toplevel with your character/whatever info you want to include about your thoughts. Tag out! Have fun!
