Sentinels and Guides Shipping Meme
A Sentinel!AU Meme
A Sentinel!AU Meme
There are special people in the world: Sentinels--whose five senses are incredibly enhanced, sometimes to the point of overwhelming and who can easily lose themselves in fugue states--and Guides, the empaths with the ability to ground a Sentinel and focus them. Meant to be the protectors of the Guides, for every Sentinel there exists a guide that is their perfect match. In some universes, when matches are made, a Sentinel and Guide form a soulbond to fill the feeling of emptiness.
How easy was it for you to find yours? How are Sentinels and Guides treated in your universe? Or maybe you're one of the normal, unremarkable people. Do you fear Sentinels and Guides? Despise them?

oo1. The Meeting:
How did you meet? Was it at an event organized specifically for finding your other half? By accident? Did you follow a mystical calling to them? Some other way?
oo2. The Bonding:
Do Sentinels and Guides in your universe soulbond? How does it go down? Is there a ceremony or do you just retreat to the bedroom?
oo3. Rejection:
Sometimes Sentinels or Guides propose a match but it's just not perfect. You don't feel the pull or maybe you think there is someone better or maybe you're already claimed. Maybe you were claimed and someone better came along?
oo4. Protection:
Sentinels are meant to protect Guides, any Guides, but it's even worse when they feel their Guide is in danger. They go feral; blind to anything but stopping and killing whoever threatened their Guide or the bond. Maybe someone attacked your Guide or you haven't bonded yet and you feel threatened or maybe you're the one doing the threatening. Whatever the reason, Sentinels in a feral state are dangerous and only their Guides can stop them.
oo5. Lost:
Sentinels often lose themselves in their senses. Either you're a Sentinel who has lost themselves or a Guide that has stumbled on one or a friend trying to draw them out. Unbonded Sentinels will find it hard to escape without a Guide. Or maybe you're bonded already which means you just need yours to come home.
006. Persecution:
Sometimes normal people or the government fear the power of Guides and Sentinels. Guides are empaths, feeling the emotions and sometimes passing thoughts of others and it can make people feel violated. Sentinels often have enhanced strength, which can make them dangerous. So they scorn them, hurt them or in the case of governments, regulate them.
oo7. Death:
Unbonded Sentinels and Guides eventually lose themselves to the empty cavern inside them. Torn apart from the inside by the feeling of something missing. Breaking the soulbond of a Sentinel and Guide is agonizing and horrifying, leading quickly to death for the remaining partner.
oo8. Old-School:
Guides used to be treated on the same level as slaves. Unable to work unless their Sentinel said. Not allowed out on their own. They used to wear collars and couldn't own land or inherit money. Maybe the old ways haven't completely fallen out of style.
oo9. Unbonded:
Nothing is worse than being an unbonded Guide or Sentinel. Always looking for your other half to fill that empty feeling but you probably have friends that aren't your match or who are trying to set you up with someone. Maybe you're skeptical about the whole love at first sight thing and haven't been looking.
o10. Wildcard: Some mish-mash of the above or anything else you can come up with!

[But now the Beast had changed things. Caleb had been ready to launch a fireball at it when Kaeya attacked. The wizard watched until he could see the creature was dead. He walked forward without fear as the knights watched.]
Kaeya...Kaeya I am safe...stop. I am safe..the beast is dead.
[Caleb's voice is soft but firm as he reaches out to touch the man's shoulder.]
I am here...breathe...focus on me. I am here.
no subject
Safe. Caleb has to be safe.
The words roll as he lifts his head and his voice booms,] Search the ship! Arrest the captain and have them before me in an hour!
[The cold in his voice is the slap that gets his men moving. They cast concerned looks but salute and hasten to obey. Kaeya stands straight until they can’t see him anymore and bows his head. Twenty one years of handling his own crap.
And one instant of a strange abyssal looking beast snapped his control in two. He leans into the hand giving him the ground beneath his feet and looks at him. He is still in that mode: one wrong move from any beast and he would kill it. In his pale blue eye magic swirls. His breath comes out in a puff. And he says in a whisper.] You’re safe?
no subject
Yes...I am safe. You attacked so quickly I had no chance to help before it was dead. Well done.
[Caleb keeps his body language eased and relaxed. They need answers and Kaeya could fly off the handle again.]
Let me question the captain. I am skilled at getting answers.
no subject
But Caleb looks at ease and he is safe. His internal dossier on Caleb’s abilities slide up into his mental view. The killing edge recedes a bit. He stands up straight.] …Only if I’m there. I won’t kill him unless there is no choice.
[The icy cage descends over his mind and clamps itself shut. He isn’t fully in control again yet, but he will be. It held when Diluc woke to being a sentinel. It would hold now. His magic stops stealing the heat from the air.] …We need to talk after that.
[He can’t deny how fast his control went to hell. If he did that in the middle of a critical situation…he couldn’t allow it.]
no subject
Very well and yes we must talk later. But there will be no killing. There has been enough trouble. We should not be more.
[Caleb's tone is firm. He is trained for this and needless terror just makes subjects stay quiet as they gauge who has control in the situation. No man transporting a Displacer Beast is a coward and Caleb needs control from the jump.]
no subject
One of his men approaches, he salutes with his hand to his chest pressed to his heart. Kaeya nods, the calm stealing back over him.] The shipping manifest?
[They’re told that the captain is waiting for them in his cabin and hand Kaeya the shipping manifest and other documents. He holds up the papers.
Once his knight walks away Kaeya speaks up.] There are two reasons I wish to be there. I need to be close to you because my control is shot. You being there will let me maintain control.
And two, officially it is a strongly suggested idea that I be there.
I promise I will serve in the ways of the law. The ways you’ve seen me do so. I value your abilities and expertise. We make a fine team and I don’t want what I am to ruin that.
To that end, I assume you want to take point on this one.
no subject
If you would allow it, yes.
[Caleb removes his scarf and tucks it into his coat pocket, buttoning up his coat to give himself more of an imposing presence. He also draws himself up to his full height drawing on his training to become a Volstucker rather than a simple wizard.]
I have training in interrogation and information gathering. I promise not to use any of my more...violent skills in that regard unless I must.
no subject
We have the threat of alerting Mondstadt’s most prosperous lord. It is without a doubt he already knows. Master Diluc is moving pieces to deal with the problem as we speak. But this captain thinks he’s clever and escaped his notice.
[What a joke. But smugglers and thieves always think they know better.] Take point. I’ll support you. I could be quite useful for bringing up who knows about their operations.
