On the eve of the Crooked Secret Santa signup deadline, let’s play a game with our requests!
Send me a prompt and I’ll tell you which pairing it works best for and why.
“Close your eyes — I don’t want you to see me like this.”
“ Why do I have to be strong all the time? ”
“ Should’ve gotten life right the first time. ”
“Why can’t you just look at me for one goddamn second!”
“Just get out. Get out and leave me alone.”
“When the clock struck midnight, I was erased from their memory.”
“Just wait a little longer, we’re almost there.”
“I told you I’d do anything for you.”
“Maybe we could’ve been, in another world.”
“I never stopped loving you.”
“ Please, don’t tell him.”
“I need to get you warm. I know you’re tired, but I can’t let you sleep, okay? Just stay with me, stay with me—”
“ And you believed them?”
“Could you, for once, think about everyone you’re gonna leave behind when you finally get yourself killed?”
“It’s always been just you and me. You and me. No one else.”
“I already have [name] risking their job for me. I can’t risk anyone else.”
“Why didn’t you tell me you were hurt?”
“I was the only survivor.”
“Take this, it will bring you home.”
“Don’t- don’t you remember me?”
“So, how long will it be this time around?”
“Everyone keeps saying that this is all in my head, but I know it’s not, I know it’s real!”
“Please come home, we miss you.”
“And after all this time, after all these years, here I thought that you were out there somewhere, hoping to come home. But here you are, running away, cowering from even the thought of it.”
