💔 HEARTBREAK STARTERS!

Do you ever crave that sweet, sweet release that comes from words reaching into your ribcage and ripping out your heart? You're in the right place, my friend. Here are 80 doors to lead you into a world of emotional damage!

• Comment with your character and any applicable info you'd like the folks at home to know.
• Those folks return the favor by providing a line of dialogue picked from the prompts, one from which you'll both never recover.
• Tissues are in the box by the door. You can thank me afterward.

1. ❝ You are a victim of your own broken heart. ❞
2. ❝ You’re breaking my heart. ❞
3. ❝ The heart is just a muscle, isn’t that right? ❞
4. ❝ You’ve left a void in me that cannot be filled. ❞
5. ❝ Time does not heal a broken heart as they say. ❞
6. ❝ How do you cope when the love is with somebody else? ❞
7. ❝ Well, you can’t have heartbreak without love. ❞
8. ❝ Love is supposed to heal, to be your haven from misery. ❞
9. ❝ My heart no longer felt as if it belonged to me. ❞
10. ❝ There is an ocean of silence between us… and I am drowning in it. ❞
11. ❝ Raw love, like raw heartache, could blindside you. ❞
12. ❝ I was born the day you kissed me, died the day you left me. ❞
13. ❝ I’ve fallen victim to love once in my life, it was enough for me. ❞
14. ❝ I think perhaps I will always hold a candle for you – even until it burns my hand. ❞
15. ❝ I would have followed you to hell and back… if only you’d lead me back. ❞
16. ❝ I had fallen but you were not there to catch me. ❞
17. ❝ This pain has not passed, this pain, I’m afraid, it will never pass. ❞
18. ❝ A broken heart can be as lethal as a bullet to the brain. ❞
19. ❝ As if you gave your heart to autumn, for what it destroys never blossoms again. ❞
20. ❝ A single heartbreak teaches you more than what a lifetime of schooling can. ❞
21. ❝ You taught me how to live with you, now tell me how to live without you… ❞
22. ❝ You hurt me and yet I cannot stay away, I am miserable either way. ❞
23. ❝ Do you know why he did what he did to you? Because he could. ❞
24. ❝ I have been bitter since the day you broke my heart. ❞
25. ❝ Today is just another day of trying to get by without you. ❞
26. ❝ An entire world of people can never replace the one that I’ve lost. ❞
27. ❝ I cannot carry on with my future when I am stuck in my past. ❞
28. ❝ Many things we die but this love I have for you will not. ❞
29. ❝ I could never love another as I do you, even if I wanted to. ❞
30. ❝ This heart break will be the death of me. ❞
31. ❝ I still fight and I don’t know why. ❞
32. ❝ If our love is tragedy then are you my remedy? ❞
33. ❝ When you’re ready, come find me, my heart is open. ❞
34. ❝ Love is both, the strongest and the weakest thing you can have in life. ❞
35. ❝ Black misery painted on a blood red heart. ❞
36. ❝ You make me feel like a firefly. Trapped in a belljar; starved for love. ❞
37. ❝ Sometimes your eyes are not the only place the tears fall from. ❞
38. ❝ My heart does not beat, it aches, for you. ❞
39. ❝ Do you even know how you make me weak? ❞
40. ❝ If you lose your one and only, there’s always room here for the lonely. ❞
41. ❝ Part of me aches at the thought of her being so close yet so untouchable. ❞
42. ❝ Sometimes it feels like love and sometimes it feels like the death. ❞
43. ❝ I don’t know where your heart is but mine is bruised. ❞
44. ❝ I tried to wash the scars and marks from under my skin but you’re etched in me like stone.❞
45. ❝ You call it love, but still you hate me? ❞
46. ❝ You’re the pain and the medicine, one taste and I’m numb again. ❞
47. ❝ With you next to me, there’s no darkness I can’t overcome. ❞
48. ❝ They don’t love you the way I love you. ❞
49. ❝ What a wicked way to treat the one that loves you. ❞
50. ❝ What’s worse, looking jealous or crazy? ❞
51. ❝ There’s a fire starting in my heart, it’s bringing me out the dark. ❞
52. ❝ The scars of your love remind me of us. ❞
53. ❝ Tears of blood fall from my broken heart. ❞
54. ❝ Never mind, I’ll find someone like you. ❞
55. ❝ When it’s all said and done, I’m still in love with you. ❞
56. ❝ I want you to know that I’m all yours. ❞
57. ❝ You could break my heart in two but when it heals, it beats for you. ❞
58. ❝ The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it… ❞
59. ❝ Jealousy is just love and hate at the same time. ❞ 
60. ❝ I know you still think about the times we had. ❞
61. ❝ I’ve been so selfish because I love you so much. ❞
62. ❝ You’re just like a pill, instead of making me better, you keep making me ill. ❞
63. ❝ I bet you start loving me as soon as I start loving somebody else. ❞
64. ❝ Do you ever think of me when you lie? ❞
65. ❝ I fell for your lies, you hurt me, all the time. ❞
66. ❝ Despite everything, I still remain loving you. ❞
67. ❝ I’m waiting for the one day to come, when I can look at you and feel nothing. ❞
68. ❝ Love creeps up on you, you never know how hard it’s there until they leave. ❞
69. ❝ I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to forgive myself for just how badly I broke you.. ❞
70. ❝ What chance did we have against fate? ❞
71. ❝ Be careful when fixing broken people. You may end up cutting yourself. ❞
72. ❝ Every other lover will always be compared to you. ❞
73. ❝ I would recognize your heartbeat from the ends of space. ❞
74. ❝ Even in dreams, ghosts of former happiness haunt me. ❞
75. ❝ You should see me when my heart is broken. I don’t grieve, I shatter. ❞
76. ❝ Love, but don’t fall in love because everything that falls breaks. ❞
77. ❝ If my love was a war, you only fought for the glory of winning. ❞
78. ❝ How many hearts have you collected? How many chests have you left aching and empty? ❞
79. ❝ I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine. ❞
80. ❝ If it’s a question of my heart, you’ve got it. It don’t belong to anyone but you. ❞

Eligre, the Lady Crow || Fantasy OC || OTA 30+

[lady_kaivodulin]

{{Oh fuck yes, let's make some melodrama! Obviously this works best if your character has already had the misfortune of being partnered with her but if there's not established CR, we can work something out.

I'm down for any of her partners but I'd love either of her Baldur's Gate romances (Astarion, he broke up with her after he ascended but she also would have broken up with him herself if he'd stay a spawn; Minthara, whom I assume Eligre would eventually betray by infidelity because lbr, Eligre is trash.}}

[sindicates]

[ let! him! break! your! heart! ]

:)

[lamentapple]

[ Do you know why I did what I did to you? Because I could. ]

i was gonna lie and say i dont know which au this hits hardest in but we both know me better

[sindicates]

[ it's inevitable that things eventually topple like a house of cards. why wouldn't they? even lucifer can't hold alastor's attention forever.

decades? certainly. centuries? of course. eon upon eon? well, why not?

an eternity? well.

all good things must come to an end.

it's been so long that so many things feel buffed away and fuzzy at the edges; only the pure gleam of gold at their throats and wrists truly stands the test of time.

the gold that gleams stark against alastor's skin as he stands before lucifer, cane in hand, white-gold wings flush behind him, halo sharp and bright above his head, and fresh heavenly host of executioners behind him.

a new name for it, a new purpose, and alastor'd only been gone a short number of days to facilitate it. a visit, he'd said, to heaven.

to their daughter, he'd said.

for a surprise, he'd said. ]

WE BOTH KNOW

[lamentapple]

[ It's inevitable. It's always been inevitable. Sinners are only human, and Alastor is worse than most. He's always known that one day, Alastor would end up being just as horrible as he'd always thought he was. That Alastor would choose to turn away — from Charlie, from all they'd done, from him. Years into decades into centuries, and he'd always had that nagging wonder of when the other shoe would drop.

And here it is. Alastor in that white suit and shiny new halo gleaming over his head, and angelic steel in his hands. Murderers at his back. An angel — ha, Heaven really must be desperate! — with all of Heaven's power at his beck and call.

He'd known, and it still hurts more than he'd ever thought possible. Alastor may as well have taken that sword and shoved it right through his chest. Less painful than the stinging clench and blank, cold shock like he's been submerged in icy water and held down until he does the impossible and drowns.

He's always known Alastor had the potential for betrayal in him. He just— he'd just stupidly, stupidly chosen to believe he wouldn't ever choose it. He'd still hoped, and here it is, come right back to laugh in his face.

Lucifer takes a step forward, reaching out. The gold band around his wrist is dulled, doesn't glint in the light.

Haltingly, he asks: ]

Alastor? What— are you doing?

:)

[sindicates]

[ for the first time in thousands of years, alastor doesn't reach back.

he does tilt his head, a familiar gesture, as he motions to the heavenly host behind him. they stand at attention, unmoving, and instead of the exorcists' scratched-out eyes, these masks wear smiles. ]

What needs doing, of course! Now, I know what you must be thinking. [ does he? ] The fact of the matter is we both know that sinners can be redeemed. We've both seen it over the years, witnessed it together as the paradigm shifted, as the balance between Heaven and Hell altered to suit our whims, our... goals.

[ a beat. ]

But, my darling, there's always a catch.

[ his grin widens, sharpens, bright and a little wet. ]

Heaven's running out of room.

[Break his heart. Let him break yours. Or hey, mutual breakage!]

don’t mind me just bringing the pain 👀

[ornithomancy]

❝There is an ocean of silence between us… and I am drowning in it.❞

Yes, please, gimme!

[helluvadick]

[Blitzø certainly hadn’t been scrolling through his phone repeatedly after that disastrous text conversation with Stolas, looking through old conversations, old old ones with him before the prince started to do weird bullshit like ask how his day was. Back when it was what it always was without this weird veneer of crap: sex and deals and status kinks. Just mentions of the grimoire and what “gear” to bring on their meetings littered the texts and it was easier, much much easier, to read rather than the wall of texts that Stolas now sent since that fuckup at Ozzie’s.

He made sure not to stare at his midnight picture of them too long, one of the best kept secrets he had because no one thought to look. One of the few he had where he hadn’t crossed himself out.

But it was fine. It was all fucking fine. He had told Stolas as much and he hoped like fucking heaven that he actually accepted it. No questions. No concerns. No probing interrogations (but totally fine probing other things). If there wasn’t talk on the wind of a big client coming in (nothing yet, but it was whispered from one imp to another to Moxxie and if he didn’t land that deal, oh shit, there would be heaven to pay), then he might have skipped this little “date night” all together. But he needed the book, and he needed to keep being able to use the book.

That was all. That’s…that’s all this could ever be.

Sobering took an annoying amount of time, and when he did show up, it was late by an hour. That certainly had nothing to do with the amount of pacing and trying to ignore the guilt of their entire conversation, the horse request, the absolute spiral that had no true bottom. Leaving the van awkwardly parked in the large circle drive (and how out of place it looked, a wound on these expensive immaculate grounds, surely not at all a fucking metaphor), he texted-]

heer

[-before sliding out of the driver’s seat and heading up to the door. Fuck, he hoped it wasn’t the butler who answered the door this time.]

Eve / Revolutionary Princess Eve

[sybils]

50 - mentally in shambles but let's do this *violently shaking*

[thousandblossoms]

[It wasn't a waste of a challenge. The young man who challenged him had been overwhelmingly arrogant in his approach but he wasn't without skill. His sword had found the 28th Head and scored a blow on him that could be admired but he wasn't the one who would claim victory by the end.

The livery he'd donned had been torn at the shoulder, spots of blood left from where he'd taken that blow in stride. Byakuya, ruthless and cold, flicked his sword to purge its surface and returned it to its scabbard. A deathly silence had taken the courtyard and those from the ballroom watching from above.]

If you ever regain the strength to wield a sword and challenge me ever again, I'll be certain to grant you the death you've begged for.

[The challenge itself hadn't stirred him into anger quite so much as the young man's inclination to drag a particular Princess' name through the mud by referring to her as unwanted.

There were some things he couldn't forgive and yet he was still feeling kind and generous enough to stop from turning that man's mistake into his last. Shutting his eyes, Byakuya turned to leave his opponent on the flagstones on his way back to the ballroom hall.]

The difference between us was simply that of class.

[sybils]

[ eve had felt her face warm, a combination of want and anger—not at byakuya, never at him, but at the entire situation that had just been forced upon them.

rosie whisper, is he jealous or crazy? but eve paid her no mind as she stepped down from the spectators gathered on the balcony to go to him. his injury had not passed unnoticed and she already is thinking of what ingredients to brew in a tea to help it heal, to help the discomfort or itchiness that wounds tend to have.

despite the unwanted audience they have now gathered, eve hurries to his side, touching his arm in full view. rumours and whispers will follow them in a few hours but she's concerned. she's not a pacifist so whatever that man said to provoke byakuya into a duel was most likely foul. ]

Lord Kuchiki. [ evie bites her tongue ] Byakuya.

[thousandblossoms]

[At such a time, there was talk that he should have been more concerned about his decorum as the head of a clan from the younger guests at the party. The scant few elders that had come had seen the extent of that duel and saw it in a different light.

The young lord had restrained himself in earnest. Eve's rush to accompany him would earn their attention far more as he made no effort to dismiss her attention. Almost imperceptible had been the way in which his voice softened when he'd responded to her but what hadn't been had been that familiar nickname--]

Evie. [Knowing that she'd want to rush to treat him soon, he'd lowered his gaze to her and set his hand atop hers. It would be enough to ignite a plethora of rumors for nearly every inner circle but he'd only thought of assuring her for the sake of soothing her after seeing him wounded.]

...For the moment, you must step aside. Challenges of these kind come in pairs.

[Given the number of young men who'd looked affronted by their lord's loss... it stood to reason that it would be more than just the one.]
