Person A gets kidnapped by some people, and Person B has to find them somehow.
Option 1.) They find Person A dead.
Option 2.) They find Person A alive, but is horribly injured mentally and psychologically. Person B is hurt seeing Person A in such a state; flinching away from people, jumping at sudden noises or movement, afraid of being alone.
Option 3.) They never find Person A.
OH SHIT UMM…
NONE OF MY SHIPS HAVE REACHED THE LEVEL OF ME BEING OKAY WITH INCLUDING ANGST IN THEM
Then you’re not shipping right
@angstprompts EXCUSE ME. You are missing several extra-angsty options here!
Option 4) They find Person A alive, barely, but begging for death. Person B is forced to put them out of their misery.
Option 5) They find Person A alive, but A dies in the escape attempt.
Option 6) They find Person A alive, but Person B is mortally wounded during the rescue. Person A has to come to terms with the fact that Person B died to save them.
Option 7) They find Person A alive. It was a trap. Now Person A and Person B are both kidnapped.
Tagging @princessvicky01 because reasons 😉
@mistralrunner pointed out I missed the Orpheus story:
Option 8) They’re allowed to leave together, but only under certain conditions. Person A violates the conditions and loses Person B a second time.
I was also reminded of a few more…
Option 9) Person A offers themself in Person B’s placeOption 10) Person B has been brainwashed and doesn’t want to leave
Okay I may be a heartless monster but you need to calm down there buddy
if I may…
Option 11) Person B finds Person A, but in the escape attempt B dies, leaving A to escape without their savior.
Option 12) Person A is alive, but it was a trap all along. Person B is now trapped in whatever A has planned for them.
Option 13) Person A is found, but they attempt to kill Person B. Your choice if B kills A, spares them, or is killed by them.
more options that I just thought of just for @angstprompts ( ˘ ³˘)❤
Option 14) Person A and B succeed in the initial escape, but B’s way of getting there has been lost so they must make the trek back to help by themselves. Your choice whether or not they both make it.
Option 15) Person B finds Person A, but B kills A anyway.
Option 16) Person B was actually the lead kidnapper. They just wanted to make Person A think they were escaping for their own sick amusement. A either dies before they can “make it” or find a way out themselves.
Option 17) Person B finds Person A, but they’re both killed before they can make it out of that first area.
