Old couple

established couple

A shiny penny. New, stretchy and clean socks. And what about a car fresh off the lot? There's something to be said for the fancy and new - but there are charm and comfort you just can't beat when it comes to the old faithfuls. Your favorite t-shirt, worn out in the shoulders. That warm blanket.

The person you've been with...well, forever.

Comment with your character, prefs, etc.
All characters are welcome, as there are prompts for everyone - yes, including your grimdark antiheroes and playboy types.
Reply to others. Your characters are well-established "old" couple who've been with each other for a while and - hopefully - have left all the drama behind.

prompts.

special trip: enjoy the beaches of Florida or the twin-sun skies of Tatooine.
not the settling sort: how did you, of all people, settle down? nevermind, you might as well just reap the benefits.
new place: you two just can't keep your hands to yourselves. or your bodies off every piece of furniture you have.
night off: one of you is always busy, so time together is rare.
long distance: a more extreme version of the above. you two are married but don't live together, as one of you is always on the road...or on the run.
still so in love: no matter how long you've been together, the spark's still there.
hatesex: there's no spark here, as it's more like a raging inferno of resentment towards your insignificant other.
rekindle the spark: in continuation of spark talk, you guys are trying to recapture what you once had.
make-up sex: the best thing about marital spats? making up again!
romantic night: break out the chocolate and bubble bath.
still got it: they have no need for jealousy, as you have eyes only for them. you want to show them how beautiful they are.
domestically depraved: to the outside world, you're the Cleavers. in your own little world, you're still the perfect couple - just a bit kinky.

[character is 17 in canon, happy to AU/age up for playing as an established couple that started in high school]

[Ruggie is a diligent worker which works for night off or long distance, it could also lead to his partner feeling jealous and needing to be reassured. I'd definitely be interested in trying one where Ruggie's fallen into a relaxed, domestic kind of feel and the couple goes for that spark again.]

OTA 16+ . )

[Voice testing, but I think it would be nice if she's had a long-standing partner where's been able to explore her emotions given her overall nature as a puppet and position as a judge. Long Distance, Not the Settling Sort, and Night Off prompts are the ones I'm veering towards the most.]

[Long Distance prompt is definitely a thing given her traveling as a Nameless, Night Off as well. I've been playing around with things as we still have very little info, but I think the idea of a long-standing relationship she doesn't remember after having her memory wiped would be fun to write as well.

Cross-canon is welcome! Please check my journal if uncertain of anything.]

[ no hatesex. ]

[Long distance is pretty much on the nose for them if we're talking post s2.
Muriel could shuttle communication between them, when they both decide to stop being so ineffably stubborn?]
