these are some plot ideas that i think are pretty nice, and that are not so cliché. they’re all very simple and anyone can lead this to different directions - fluff, angst, even smut. feel free to reblog if you enjoy them !!!
ONE. muse a is absolutely awful at cooking and their neighbor, muse b, cooks like heaven. everyday, muse a can smell something delicious coming out from muse b’s house/apartment, so one day they finally have the guts to ring their bell and ask for food. bonus: muse a actually asks muse b to teach them how to cook!
TWO. muse a works at a cafe that muse b goes to on a daily basis, so muse a already knows muse b’s order and name. so, everyday, muse a writes muse b’s name on their paper cup, until one day they decide to write their phone number instead of muse b’s name. will muse b call muse a?
THREE. muse a walks the same way everyday to go to work and return home from work. one day, they find this person, muse b, all bruised and hurt, sitting on the sidewalk, with no id or money on them. their clothes are dirty and they are shaking, but they refuse to say a word. muse a gets worried and brings muse b home, feeding them and offering them a bath and clean clothes. but what the hell happened to muse b? why won’t they talk?
FOUR. muse a is a good student and has only excellent grades. they’re focusing on a bright, successful future and don’t want anything to distract them. meanwhile, muse b doesn’t give a damn about studying and only wants to have fun. they are intelligent, but they have pretty bad grades. now, muse b finds out they will fail if they don’t start having good grades, so they know muse a would be pretty helpful. one day, they find out muse a has a secret they’re hiding (i.e they’re having sex with the professor, they’re doing drugs, etc. be creative!), so they start threatening to reveal muse a’s dirty secret if they don’t help muse b. classic bad boy/girl x good girl/boy plot with a twist. bonus: they hate each other at first, but then start actually liking each other.
FIVE. muse a’s first time drinking is at this party where muse b is, too. of course muse a doesn’t know what their limits are and end up pretty wasted. muse a and muse b hook up, and that’s all muse a remembers. the next morning, they wake up to see muse b by their side, in an unknown bed, naked. what happened last night?
SIX. muse a and muse b has always been best friends, but they also secretly had a crush on each other. now, muse a is starting to get involved with someone else, and muse b has to hide jealousy… or not?
SEVEN. the classic fake boyfriend/girlfriend plot! muse a has a strict, traditional family in the countryside that is dying to see muse a with a significant other. so, in order to make their family happy, they ask muse b to pretend to be their boyfriend/girlfriend for the weekend. bonus: they are actually attracted to each other and don’t really have to pretend.
EIGHT. muse a is visiting a small town and misses the last train to their city. they notice that muse b seems to be in the same situation. to top this, they only have enough money to rent one room in the town’s motel, so hey, let’s share the room? it’s either that or sleeping in the station.
NINE. muse a is a rich kid who has everything they want, whenever they want. muse b, on the other hand, is a middle class person who isn’t quite attached to material things. when they meet and fall in love, muse a has to deal with the fact that muse b is nothing like them, and nothing like what their family pictured as their significant other. will muse a be able to free themselves from the money and the status and assume muse b to their family? or is power and money more important thana muse b’s love?
TEN. muse a and muse b dated for a while in the past. they went separate ways, but their relationship had been really good - they have pretty good memories of each other. now muse a has found their dream job, muse b is living their life happily, too. and suddenly they meet again, under whole new circumstances: muse a will be working at muse b’s company, and they will be workmates. how will this relationship develop? will they be competitive, nice to each other or pretend they don’t know each other? bonus: they still kinda feel something for each other. bonus two: one of them is already taken.
