Off-The-Cuff/Unlikely Shipping Meme!

One of the great things about writing shipping is the set up - characters meeting, getting to know each other, building history, feeling out compatibility.

But screw that.

In this meme you throw anyone at anyone. Don't ponder if they even make sense. Don't plot out how they met. Just chuck a starter and go. NOW YOU ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP.

Post up ONLY THE MOST BAREBONES of your preferences (age limits, gender prefs if you have them. Anything that is a HARD NO only) and then go chuck your murderers, your nerds, your talking cats, all your usually unshippable characters at each other. Or maybe the character you have in ships normally just to see how they handle dating an alien that also wants to eat them.

The only hard rule is NO 'CANONMATES ONLY' PREFERENCES- not that you CAN'T tag or be tagged by canonmates, that just means you get to be suddenly dating your best friend without the 20 threads of worrying about ruining your friendship.

Some possible prompts

1. It's your first date! Time to figure out where super villians like to get coffee and what movies they like.

2. Things are going well, time to introduce the president to your friends... how will they handle it?!

3. First fights are a little more intense when your girlfriend can shoot energy beams

4. You're married to a pony now, congrats on your monstrous centaur children

I'm ready when you are!

[It's kindof cute, really...he's not sure what he was expecting, but such a deep rooted love for cats wasn't quite it. But that's better than most things he could have been into, honestly.

With their books in hand, Kaneki carefully leads the way from the bookshelves over to where the booths are. They can pay for their books and coffee all at once when they leave.]

[He gets his drink (heavy cream, shot of vanilla), sitting on the bench seat. He tilts his head slightly, indicating next to him. A quiet invitation]

[Kaneki's own coffee is a stark contrast to Yu's: black. Very black. He hesitates for just a moment when Yu invites him to sit next to him, but soon enough he walks on over to take a seat.]

The coffee here is good, so I think you'll like it.

It certainly smells good.

[He takes a sip, seeming to roll the drink over his tongue, savoring it, before swallowing]

Ah...

[Kaneki follows suit, very nearly burning his tongue in his haste but somehow managing to keep that little slip out of his expression.]

How is it?
