bakerstreet | love is a haunted house

sleeping with ghosts —

You can't help who you fall in love with. But what if the person you fall for is no longer a person? Perhaps they were, once; those days have gone. All that's left is a memory. Is that something you can put to rest, or will you keep them with you and away from their final resting place?

Comment with your character and preferences. Mention if you'd prefer to play the living, the dead, or either.
Reply to others. You can use the RNG or not, if you'd wish. Make up your own additional prompts, scenes, scenarios, and such.

Dead Lover — No wonder they have unfinished business with you. You were theirs in life, and they're not about to let you go.
Tethered to You — In life, you didn't know each other, but now their ghost is connected to you, and you to them.
The Sight — You're the only one who can see them, the only one in the world to them, now.
Haunted Home — There's something wrong with your house. Can you reclaim it? Do you want to get rid of your companion?
Peace to the Vengeful — All you wanted to do was do a kind deed and help them achieve peace, not become eternally grateful.
Remember — Both of you are bound and determined to find out who you were as a living mortal. The knowledge might tear you apart.
Different Time, Different Place — This ghost is of a person who's a bit...antiquated compared to you. Careful, they may want to court you. It certainly makes things awkward when they see how you dress.
Jealousy — Lights burst, glass cracks, and the whole place goes cold when someone with a pulse smiles at you.
Protection — You'll risk your afterlife for the one you love.
Confession — If you can communicate vocally, confessions are easy. If you can't talk, that's a whole other kettle of fish.
The Challenge of Intimacy — Ghost makes it look so easy. You want to reach out and touch them, but you can't always do that.
Manifestation — Your emotions have temporarily given you a physical form.
Keeping You Here — The living's affection keeps the dead in the mortal coil.
Decay — The longer they stay with you, the more of a violent wraith, disconnected from their past, they become.
Passing — You have to let them go, even if they don't want to.
Just Like Heaven — You'll work together to find a way to bring you back to life.

[ info. tldr; 1949, the first ordained female pastor in denmark has moved to the capital to serve at a church there and is trying to find her feet in her new parish, at the same time as she's struggling with old grief and a new also female love interest. blanket cw: she most likely comes with discussions of religion and mentions of period-typical sexism and homophobia, though i can definitely go easy on the latter if requested. opt-out here. f/f for shipping, wide open to all for gen and platonic. ]
