THE RESCUE ME MEME
WELCOME TO THE RESCUE ME MEME
Mugged, kidnapping, held hostage, imprisoned, arranged marriage – one way or another, your character needs a rescue pronto! This meme is about exploring all the different ways of rescuing, so mix and match your favorite tropes! Drop your character, your preferences, and whether you’d like them to be rescued, the rescuer, or both! This also doesn’t have to be shippy – save a friend, a family member, an enemy, or a complete stranger, because everyone could use a hero!
Original Flavor
Your standard save! Burst onto the scene! Take down the bad guys! Save the victim! It doesn’t have to be needlessly complicated to be fun!
Disguise The Limit
Work smarter, not harder. Instead of a big fancy entrance, disguise yourself as one of the guards or the big baddy themselves to sneak past and save the day. Hope you’re good at acting!
Teamwork = Dreamwork
This is about partnering up to save the day! Two heads, or more, are better than one – are you reluctant enemies working for the same cause, or do you all care about each other just that much?
Making Mistakes
You thought they were in danger, but… oops. A light misunderstanding, “it’s not what it looks like”, or your victim was the enemy all along! Better have a back-up plan, in case you make more trouble than you planned to solve!
Last Second Switch
You’re one of the baddies who was in on this from the start, but now you’re having second thoughts. Is the plan going too far, or did you wind up caring for the victim? It’s up to you to stop this at the last possible moment – or take advantage of your power and help the victim escape in a sneakier way.
Saving Screw-Up
You were trying to be the big hero… and instead you wound up in the same trouble as the victim. Now you’re sharing a jail cell, or tied up next to them, maybe they’ll even switch victims since you’re a better target! A for effort, at least?
Accidentally Awesome
You were just going about your business and suddenly stumbled into a crime! Sure, you could just walk on, but you’re not that type of person! Even though you don’t know anything about the situation, step in and show them your stuff! Your ordinary day just got a whole lot weirder!
It’s Up To Me
This is taking way too long – save yourself! Kick some ass, take some names, and then… run into the person or people who were trying to save you. Maybe you’ll be the one saving them instead!
Rescue Sex
Don’t you worry, dirty birdies, I got you. Nothing quite says “hot” like watching someone get extremely feral in trying to save you. Hey, if you don’t even make it home before the clothes come off, we don’t blame you.
Here are a few other small tropes to work with, and there’s even more here if you want more spice!
- Seduce the guard/baddy into letting you go or grabbing the keys!
- Minions saving baddy from heroes!
- You’re saving a beloved pet, or a precious artifact!
Say it with me now… I NEED A HERO!

They didn't have a lot of time left. ]

[Honestly, leaving it might be best, make it look like the kitchen staff forgot to get to the door. Just need to slowly put it down, slip through the door, and close it before making a mad dash. As long as more guards don't run in and the backside of the castle is lightly guarded, they should be fine.]

He doesn't have a chance to tell her, and hopes she won't be too offended as he suddenly tugs her back towards him and scoops her into his arms. Then he clicks his heels together to activate his winged boots to lift into the air. ]
no subject
[Oh. That... that certainly works. It's probably a very good thing that they're both invisible right now, her face certainly feels like it's burning. She's just... going to wrap her arms around his shoulders. For security reasons.]
no subject
Though once he's sure they're far enough away, he'll let both their Invisibility drop. ]

[That's a pretty good amount of time, and Allura's mostly been running on adrenaline since healing Dorian in the dungeon. She should be keeping an eye out for more danger, but... she's so tired and so relaxed in his arms, she might nod off a few times, her head falling against Dorian's shoulder towards the end. Once they land, though, she's quick to start awake.]
Mm? Where are we...? Are we safe...?
no subject
I hope so. We've been flying for a while.
no subject
[A satisfied nod.]
Good, we should be, then. [A rueful smile.] You have no idea how glad I am that you're still alive.

[Ah... well the blush certainly has her awake. Once she's on her feet, she looks away, face turning deep red.]
O-of course... In all fairness, though, you did most of the work after that.
no subject
[ Not just that she freed him. She'd also given him a boost of energy in order to do the necessary spells in the first place. ]
So...thank you.
no subject
[He has a point... She lets a smile come to her face as she nods, the blush not fading.]
Then... you're welcome. And thank you for your help as well. [A light sigh.] We are not splitting up again.
