Summary:

Okay, this challenge is basically the same as the Murphy's Law Anti-Romance Valentine's Challenge, except that it's open to every category on the site. I decided to keep the Harry/Cedric entries separate by having their own challenge area, though, as they're my personal favorite. So, if your story is about Harry and Cedric, please post it as a response to the other prompt and not this one.

So, if something can go wrong, it will. Your job is to pen a story in which a character makes plans for Valentine's Day and things don't go the way they intended them to. What you do with the story is entirely up to you. It can be long or short, serious, funny, angsty, whatever. And remember, something minor, like getting the meeting time mixed up, is not an acceptable device for what goes wrong.

"If something can go wrong, it will." Sometimes a little anti-Romance is fun. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to pen a story in which one boy or the other makes [grand?] plans, but things don't go accordingly. The direction you take it is entirely up to you -- it can be serious, funny, angsty, romantic, silly, canon-compliant or AU, long or short, with them as boys or as adults -- they might not even be making plans with each other! The only absolute rule is that things can't work out, at least not in the way intended. And I should add to this, I don't mean some minor problem like getting the meeting time mixed up ... unless that leads to a subsequent chain reaction like Joe Diffie's hysterical "Third Rock from the Sun." ;>

Summary: This challenge is issued since I've noticed a MASSIVE drop from steamy forbidden affairs in the modern mafia or gang, criminal world, etc. The MUST haves: One of the main characters has to be a criminal. There must have some sort of standoff at first glance personality. They must either develop or already have a connection with their lover. NO WAYS: NO angsty i wanna die, kill me, kill me from main characters. NO major character deaths since.. its like a let down but the best friend(s) can die, sure. No overly gory sadistic scenes like sex next to a dead body or something. and absolutely NO bad writing. Haha HAVE FUN!
