Immortal x Time Traveler

-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.

The rain dripped from the broken columns of the temple, pooling around their feet. “Why do you keep letting me go?” she asked, her voice trembling as her tears mixed with the rain. He knelt before her, his expression etched with agony. “Because holding on doesn’t stop time from taking you,” he said.

They sat in the glowing hum of a 1950s diner, the neon lights painting his face in pale pinks and blues. She studied him intently, waiting for a flicker of recognition, but his gaze was blank. “You don’t remember me, do you?” she asked, her voice catching. He frowned slightly, shaking his head. “Should I?”

The air in the old café was heavy with dust and the weight of memories. He sat at their usual table, running his fingers over the worn wood. “I didn’t think you’d come back here,” she said quietly. His gaze remained on the table as he replied, “This is all I have left of you.”

Snow fell softly around them, muffling the world until it was just the two of them under a pale sky. He kissed her like it might anchor her to him, his arms tight around her. When he pulled back, he rested his forehead against hers. “You always leave,” he whispered. Her voice shook as she replied, “And you always wait.”

The city stretched out below them, glittering like stars as the wind bit at their faces. She fiddled with the wristpiece, avoiding his gaze. “You’ll leave again, won’t you?” he asked, his voice breaking slightly. She froze, her shoulders slumping. “I don’t want to,” she murmured, unable to look at him.

The library’s dim light illuminated his face, casting shadows under his eyes. “If I stay,” she began, her voice cracking as she stepped away from him, “I’ll ruin you.” He caught her hand before she could pull back, pressing it against his chest. “You already do,” he said quietly, “every time you leave.”

He held her face in his hands, his tears falling freely now, though he didn’t seem to care. “I’ll find you,” she said, her voice trembling with determination. He shook his head, the pain in his eyes unbearable. “And I’ll lose you again,” he replied. “How many times can we survive that?”

They lay side by side in the cool grass, the stars above them bright and endless. He pointed out constellations, his voice steady even as his heart ached. “Do you ever think about what it would be like if we had forever?” she asked, her words almost drowned by the night. He laughed softly, the sound hollow. “Every single day,” he said.

advice for a character who grips control like a lifeline. who wants to be in charge of every little thing because whenever they're not in control of something something bad could happen. has happened. they can't let a single variable be wild or in someone else's hands

How to Write a Controlling Character

Backstory Rooted in Trauma or Guilt

This character likely has a history that has ingrained the belief that they must be in control or face devastating consequences. Perhaps they once trusted someone else with something crucial—a promise, a responsibility, or a life-altering choice—and that trust was broken in a way that had lasting repercussions. For example, maybe they lost someone because they weren’t “careful enough,” or they experienced a betrayal when they trusted another person’s plan.

They might frequently flash back to this moment, possibly catching themselves thinking, If only I’d been the one in control, this wouldn’t have happened. This memory fuels their need to keep a tight grip on everything, especially if they’re in high-stakes situations.

Rigid Daily Routines and Habits

This character’s day is probably packed with small rituals and routines that give them a sense of security. From double-checking door locks to setting multiple alarms, they rely on routines to give themselves a sense of order. In fact, they might be nearly ritualistic about small actions—checking emails three times before sending, never leaving a task halfway finished, or meticulously arranging their workspace.

Even something as simple as making coffee can become a precise process. If someone moves one of their tools or a file from their desk, they may feel a spike of frustration or even anxiety, seeing it as a disruption to their personal “system.” They could feel that control in their daily life is the only thing keeping chaos at bay.

Intensely Observant of Details and Mistakes

They are hyperaware of mistakes or inefficiencies in others, mentally cataloging things like a coworker’s slight lateness or a friend’s disorganization. They may feel a sense of superiority (or frustration) over people who don’t “have it together” and take it upon themselves to organize or “fix” things for others.

In conversation, they might cut people off or “correct” them even over small points, often justifying this to themselves as necessary. For instance, if someone shares a plan that seems half-formed, this character could immediately dive in, pointing out potential problems or filling in details.

Controlling Relationships and Social Situations

This character struggles in relationships where they aren’t the dominant or organizing force. They might instinctively take over when making plans with friends, micromanaging even casual hangouts to make sure everything goes “right.” For example, they might pick the restaurant, plan the travel route, and check weather forecasts—assuming that if they don’t, no one else will think of these things.

When someone resists their attempts at control, they can respond defensively, often turning cold or resentful, unable to understand why anyone wouldn’t want them to manage the situation. Statements like, “Fine, but don’t blame me if this doesn’t go well,” are frequent in their interactions.

Extreme Anxiety or Panic When Control Is Taken Away

When things go beyond their reach, this character might experience panic, as if they’re suddenly powerless. For instance, if an unexpected roadblock prevents them from handling a task (like a canceled flight they needed to board, or a plan that falls apart), they might spend hours trying to regain control, calling every contact or frantically exploring alternatives.

Their reaction may feel extreme to others. Even minor setbacks—such as a colleague taking initiative on a project or a friend planning something without consulting them—can trigger a disproportionate response, like clenching their fists, pacing, or silently stewing as they feel the situation “slipping.”

Inability to Accept Help or Collaboration

Their controlling nature makes it hard for them to collaborate, as they believe their methods are the only ones that work. For them, accepting help feels like an admission of weakness or failure, so they rarely delegate or ask for assistance. If they do reluctantly accept help, they are constantly supervising or “suggesting” things, making it feel more like they’re still in charge.

In a team setting, they might take on all the major tasks, either out of distrust in others’ abilities or a feeling that no one will match their standards. Their motto could be something like, “If you want something done right, do it yourself,” even if that means working late or burning out.

Reluctance to Show Vulnerability or Need

Since vulnerability and control rarely coexist for them, they avoid showing weakness at all costs, preferring to mask stress or struggles as “just part of the job.” If they do become overwhelmed, they’re more likely to shut people out, saying, “I’ve got it handled,” even if it’s far from true.

When people push them to let go or share the load, they might lash out, accusing others of “just not understanding.” They often see their intense responsibility as a form of sacrifice, justifying their behavior with, “If I don’t handle this, who will?”
