muse a is a huge celebrity. a few years back, they took the world by storm and now they’re one of the biggest names in hollywood. it’s a bit overwhelming, though, and muse a needs to get away. so they head back to their hometown with the hopes of laying low for a bit, recharging. while they’re there, they run into muse b - their childhood friend. they haven’t spoken in years, not since muse a left to make it big, but they’re both surprised at how easily they can fall back into old habits. what was supposed to be a one or two week trip turns into a few months, and muse a doesn’t know how they’re going to leave muse b behind to go back to their career this time around. 

muse a and muse b are costars on a popular television series. their characters have a lot of on-screen chemistry, but off camera muse a and muse b can’t stand each other. they put on a good show during interviews and fan events because they know fans love their characters, and that they ‘ship’ muse a and muse b together as well. it’s good for ratings and keeps their jobs safe, and it makes them look a bit more professional. eventually, muse a and muse b get sent on an international tour - just the two of them - to promote the new season, and things get a little sticky when a storm hits and they’re stuck. two people who hate each other stuck in a suite in an unfamiliar city in an unfamiliar country for who knows how long - what could possibly go wrong?

basically the same as above except producers/p.r. basically force muse a and muse b to pretend to be a couple. fans love that their on-screen ship is also a real-life couple and it boosts ratings and viewership. as much as they hate it, its muse a’s first big role and they don’t want to get blacklisted so they try their best to make the most of it. muse b, though, is over it and has a tendency to make the whole situation harder than it needs to be.

muse a is a popular singer on tour and muse b is a musician or background singer on tour with them. ever since muse a came onto the scene as a teenager, they’ve been forced to make music that they’re not really happy with. they don’t get to showcase their talent and that, unfortunately, means that those who tour/record with them don’t either. one day, they hear muse b (either playing or singing) something original, or just a really cool spin on one of muse a’s songs, and muse a loves it. they love the sound and originality and over the rest of the tour, they keep meeting up with muse b to just blow off steam and sing/write music for fun. it’s the most creative that muse a has ever had the chance to be and they love performing with muse b - even if it’s just the two of them who will ever hear any of it. when the tour ends, muse b invites muse a to come record with them and as much as they want to, muse a feels like they’ve just been given a choice between their steady career and happiness.

muse a is an up and coming actor that is finally getting their big break. they’re going to be in a movie that’s projected to be a box office hit or a well-promoted tv show on a popular network. most of the project’s filming is on-location in a small town that’s fairly off the map. muse b is a local that isn’t too thrilled about the sudden influx of outsiders - especially because it means a lot of extra work for businesses that aren’t staffed or equipped to support this many people at once. so muse b is never particularly kind to muse a whenever they stop into the cafe/diner/motel/etc where they work. but the more muse a comes around, the more they start to win over muse b without even trying. 

alternatively, muse a is a pretty big name in hollywood and they’re filming on location in a small town. muse b is a business owner/employee in town who is completely clueless. they know that something is being filmed there, but they have no idea who muse a is. muse b treats them just like anyone else - something that hasn’t happened to muse a in a long time. at first, it annoys them but they keep coming around, eventually realizing that they enjoy the change of pace. eventually someone brings muse b up to speed, but nothing changes. they continue to grow fairly attached to one another until filming comes to a close, and they both have a very difficult decision to make.
