Scarlet Thread
I will help you escape if you return the favor.
Rules & Expectations
• Post at least a paragraph at least once a week. After two weeks without hearing from you I will delete the thread, period. It's better for both of us not to waste each other's time. But I am absolutely fine with more frequent posts, up to about 5x/day.
• These stories are all on the darker side for one reason or another. They may include rape, torture, and/or death. If you are not alright with that, probably best to turn back now. Tell me your ons and limitations beforehand, and I'll tell you mine.
• I only play MxF for these. I don't care your actual gender, and I'm willing to both swap roles or play the male if you like. It's about the story, not who's writing it. However, on that note, I might be willing to have multiple romantic partners (MxFxM or FxMxF, etc.), or double up depending on the situation. But only if it makes sense in the story.
• There will be sex involved, but it won't be pure smut. I like a good balance and deep, believable characters. The good stuff is only the good stuff if you fall in love with the characters and their story first. Even in a short story, please show a little pride in your creations and I'll do the same.
Plots
Modern/Realistic
The Stalker - Reluctant Romance
He had been watching her for some time, not even bothering to hide. She thought he was just some creep, and one day she got fed up and asked him what he wanted. She didn't believe him when he said it was her blood. But something inside her wanted to give in, let him have his way with her.
Kiss Me Goodbye - An Impossible Choice
They were friends before he was ever turned. She helped him hide his secret and gave him blood when he needed it, and in return he swore to always be there for her. It developed into a romance between them. They thought when they moved away from civilization that their troubles were over. But a hunter found him and delivered a fatal wound, leaving him to die. The only way to save him would require a lot of blood, meaning she would have to die. They do not have long to make a decision, and either choice will mean saying goodbye.
Victorian/Steampunk/Fantasy
Blood Feud - Romeo and Juliet Retold
The Montagues, a long lived vampiric bloodline, and the Capulets a family of career vampire hunters, have been at war for centuries. But as fate would have it, a masquerade ball brings the heirs of both houses together. Without knowing who the object of their affections is at first, the two fall madly in love. But what will they do once they learn the truth? The death toll continues to climb, and they must choose between love or duty. Can have a happy ending or a similar tragic one to the original, or some bittersweet medium.
Love is Pain - An Heiress' Corruption
No one knows how the hit man manages to make his marks disappear completely without a trace, but whether you need someone gone or just out of the way for a while, a vampire is the perfect solution. When he comes to kidnap a spoiled heiress however, he gets a bit of a surprise. A life deprived of the kind of adventure and love she has always read about has left her desperate, and ready to go along willingly. Plus, she has a secret of her own, a dark side of herself that he is more than equipped to help her explore.
