metropolising start a war for you
Helen of Troy was said to be so beautiful that she launched one thousand ships. But why is she the one history blames, when it took another for her to be whisked away?
The two of you may not be royals, yet you're in a precarious enough position. Still, the moment you lay eyes on each other, it's instant. It's chemistry. Yet you cannot be together, whether because of roles or because of one or both of you being involved with others. Unless...
...unless one of you were to run away together. Of course, those around you may not like that - in fact, such an action might threaten the peace of all you know. Must there be danger or even death, all thanks to your love?

WHO
♕ Thief: No frills here. You're doing the spiriting away.
♕ Stolen: Even if you're complicit in your being "stolen," you're the one being taken off, after a fashion.
HOW
♔ Consensual: Both of you are completely smitten, and you know you must leave.
♔ Nonconsensual: It's an unrequited love taken much too far; a literal "stealing" away.
♔ Uncertain: One or both of you are unsure about this action, the morals behind it, how it will end, or even about your "love."
♔ Not What it Seems: How could this kind, wonderful and upright person care for the hideous, evil beast who took them away? It must have been a kidnapping! ...or sometimes, the beautiful just might prefer the beast, the good clinging to the so-called "bad."
