THE STAGES OF RELATIONSHIPS MEME

The course of love often doesn't run smooth. This is especially so as the years go by. Still, being together for a long time has its benefits...

RULES

Comment with your character and your preferences.
When someone replies, they will roll the RNG to determine the scenario (first roll is category, second is prompt)

1. BEGINNING

1. First Meeting - How did it go? Was it love at first sight, friendship, or hate? Maybe you didn't even
2. Realization - You just realized something. You're in love with this person. Oh, great, does this mean you're going to have...
3. Jealousy - How dare that other person look at the person you love! Of course, you're not officially together, but still!
4. Confession - Tell them how you feel. Use chocolates, messages on scoreboards, or carrier pigeons. Make sure they know somehow.
5. First Date - Whether it's to the movies or to the moon, you need to make an impression.
6. First Time - Sex can be even better when it's the first time with someone you care for.
7. Infatuation - You're dating this person, and they're absolute amazing.

2. MIDDLE

1. Grown Comfortable - Now you don't have to always save face in front of this person to look perfect. Go ahead, don't shave for a few days. Burp if you need to.
2. Meet the Family - You've been together long enough that you need to meet the parents. Or the siblings. Or the family dog.
3. Spice Things Up - Maybe your sex life has fizzled a bit. Try something new! ...maybe not snakes or spiders in the bed, though. Unless that's your thing.
4. Show I Care - Diamonds are a girl's best friend, but you may want to give a gift that's a little less traditional. I hear small countries are hot this year? Or maybe a cat. Either works.
5. You're Timeless to Me - Maybe your honey is a few years older now or gained some weight, but you still think they're beautiful.
6. Trying for Another - Either you decided to start a family or you had a little accident. Either way, you know what you need to do.
7. Proposal - You want to stay together forever. You can go all out, but sometimes a simple gold band works just as well.
8. Married Life - Ah, the good ol' ball and chain. Are you making it work? Sure, you may not always have a white picket fence, but you'll have each other!
9. Growing Old Together - You're the ones who made it work. What's your secret? Are you an adorable little old couple or some wild pensioners?

3. END

1. It's Not You, It's Me - You've changed and you just can't see yourself with this person anymore.
2. One Sided - Only one of you is still committed to the relationship.
3. Not Attractive Anymore - One of you has really lost your luster, and you just can't deal with it. You want armcandy, not...this!
4. Can't Get It Up - So, the sex sucks and it can't be saved. Prepared to be celibate?
5. There's Someone Else - Cheating is bad, whether emotional or physical. Your infidelity has just been revealed, and it looks like it may ruin your relationship.
6. Outside Forces - Others, perhaps even family or friends, are breaking you two up. You tried to make it work, but it may be over.
7. Staying Together - You don't love each other, you may even hate each other, yet for some reason, you're staying together.
8. The Breakup - The penultimate. The point of no return. Take your cat, leave my sweater, there's nothing else to weather.

[No promises for pure fluffy scenes or anything because... he's a Dark Fae who doesn't really do fluff. Except unexpectedly.]

(Most of these prompts sound good)

[Men preferred.]

[ It's a lazy day, a rainy day-- and there seem to be so many of them this spring. The sound of it bouncing off the roof, the sidewalk, even the windows with each gust is almost soothing. Piers doesn't have any poor memories of it, just the peace that sometimes came in battle. Of course, he's had time to calm down, to settle in-- what else does a man do when he's retired at twenty six? Take up a billion hobbies. Or so it seems with the way he's crushed into one side of the couch, fingers dragging over the screen of his phone, playing some sort of silly nonsense game and only half watching the movie flickering across the screen.

It's still a little odd for him to be in casual clothes on such a regular basis, deep green hoodie and a casual pair of dark jeans. It's a testament to his comfort that he doesn't pick or pull at the black eyepatch strapped over his right eye. Not that he isn't still getting used to it, but at least he doesn't feel the need to touch it constantly. ]

[ she doesn't look at him one day and realise that she's in love. it's not sudden in any way; eve doesn't know whether she'd prefer that. what happens is that they flirt and they banter and it's nothing out of the ordinary at all and in increments, she realises how much she looks forward to the moments they spend together, how much she enjoyed the times they've gone out into the field together not just for the adrenaline and excitement and action but also for his presence.

she's always let her eyes linger over broad shoulders and well-tailored suits, never made a secret of that.

falling in love with a double-oh agent is stupid, falling in love with james bond who has a certain track record when it comes to conquests (and to death) even more so. still, it doesn't really change things, does it? she's not planning on letting it. ]

Mr Bond. [ it's her customary greeting when he comes in to see mallory. ]
