For: Raelin

Genre: Fluff

Suggested pairings: (I've set this up for a boy x girl pairing, but you can always change that) For this story in particular, I had Taeyeon + Baekhyun, Kai + Yoona and Daragon. I'm excited to see who you choose! :)

Maybe use this quote?

"It is a risk to love.

What if it doesn't work out?

Ah, but what if it does."

-Peter McWilliams

Idea: Two people meet when a twist of fate finds them sitting on a gondola together in Venice. It's all a mistake− she was supposed to get on a different boat with her friend, and he was supposed to get on the boat by himself, with the intention of drowning out his sorrows with the Venetian scenery.

One is newly divorced and the other hates the idea of love because he/she had to help a sibling get out of an abusive relationship. In summary, the two of them are tired of hearing about love because from their experience, love doesn't work. 

But maybe, just maybe, these two will find love with each other. 

Forget Paris. Venice is the new city of love, happiness, and healing. 

Theme: Seeing as the theme for this round is 'space', my suggestion is referring to the space between them physically (in the gondola) and emotionally (with their initial refusal to think about loving one another because of what they have been through), and talk about how that space is closed up as they get closer. 

I know the backgrounds for the characters are quite angst-y, but that's the challenge! I look forward to reading your fluff story, Raelin! ^^

Thanks for being my partner and for putting up with my confusion! :D
