childhood sweethearts (on the rocks)
a plot where muse a and muse b have been friends since childhood โ here and there, they would have a one night stand, but never really allowed themselves to progress into anything more than just friends. now, as adults who are figuring out the dating scene isnโt as easy as their parents made it seem, muse a and muse b are seeing each other more and more frequently. eventually, muse a starts seeing someone new, and has less and less time for muse b. iโm talking jealousy, tension!!! muse b realizing maybe theyโve had feelings for muse a the whole time, muse a having to make tough decisions โ either continue dating this new person or hurt muse b!!! i liiiiive for drama pls
childhood sweethearts (with a twist)
okay but a plot where close childhood friends reunite โ except muse a was in love with muse b growing up, and muse b became muse aโs best friendโs high school sweetheart. muse a concealed their feelings for muse b all throughout their friendship, in high school & college, although both muses definitely had feelings & felt sparks for one another long before muse b started dating muse aโs best friend. despite the connection theyโd felt, neither wanted to jeopardize any of the friendships between the three, and ultimately, muse b ended up married to muse aโs bffโฆ except now, years later, muse a and muse b reunite at muse aโs best friendโs funeral. imagine the hurt of losing a loved one but having the comfort of yet another loved one?? blurred lines, tension, second-guessesโฆโฆ.
let me take care of you (southern charm)
okay so iโve been kicking around a ranch hand plot where muse a is looking for help around the ranch theyโve just inherited due to a death in the family, and seeing as theyโre just one person with lots of land, and virtually no knowledge on how to take care of it, itโs impossible to go it all on their ownโฆ enter muse b. muse b, a man who not only knows how to work the land but can take care of the ranch with ease, finds it impossible to not take care of muse a, while he's at it. just give me texan sunsets and lovers with low static music crooning in the background from some vinyl record please & ty
friends with benefits (with feelings)
a friends with benefits plot where muse a is dead-set, hellbent on not having a relationship and not getting too intimately involved with muse b; muse b has been in love with muse a for years, and muse a knows this, but still canโt bring themselves to get emotionally attached. i need tensionnnn and like, a lil toxicity ykwim??? for the angst omgย
will you come find me (after the party?)
so hear me out โ a plot where muse a and muse b met at a friend of a friendโs party & instantly hit it off. muse a is immediately infatuated with muse b โ they laugh, talk, drink; they even make an incredible beer pong team. at some point during the night, muse a decides to put the moves on muse b. however, after leaving to get them some drinks, muse a comes back to find muse b kissing someone elseโฆ and to make it worse? itโs their boyfriend/girlfriend. tbh this plot could have the potential of a shakespearean comedy if we did it right akdjgh ok i'm talking messssssssyyyyย
you feel like home (but iโve got a different address)
okay so i need a tense plot where muse a and muse b are soulmates, beyond the shadow of a doubt โ but muse a is married to a nightmare of a spouse. little by little, they spend more time together one on one, but itโs getting increasingly harder for muse b to see muse a with their spouse, especially knowing how that spouse treats muse a. idk this is a rough plot/work in progress plot but i feel like it has potential to go somewhere!!!
be my wingman (but take me home)
give me a plot where muse a and muse b, while best friends, are on total opposites of the spectrum โ muse a is a total ladies-man/maneater, while muse b is incredibly awkward and fumbly around the opposite sex. they go out to bars, to clubs, to dinner or to brunch โ it doesnโt matter, muse a finds it hard to leave without getting the waiter/bartenderโs number while muse b tries to figure out if the human body will ever be capable of controlling the blush response. after witnessing the millionth strikeout during a night out at the bars, muse a decides to give muse b some pointers โ except muse b has never felt more comfortable flirting, even if just for practice, with anyone else before<3 give me sparks flying, muse a seeing a totally new side of muse b they didnโt think existed; give me staged, practice dates; give me muse a teaching muse b how to win someone over, give me muse a teaching muse b all the ins and outs of relationships - give me muse b taking everything theyโve learned and showing up at muse aโs doorstep anyway - give me muse b taking all the advice theyโve learned and turning around to use it on muse a because the only reason any of their teachings or advice ever seemed to work anyway was because they were with muse a the whole time !!!!! give me an โi was in love with you the whole time and had no idea until you taught me how to give a proper kiss, and now your lips are the only ones i ever want to kiss againโ ship, thanksย
iโll have what sheโs havingย
needing a mxf strangers to lovers plot where muse a just so happens to be the bartender who saves muse b from a date thatโs turned out to be a completely horrible, awkward, and embarrassing dumpster fire. muse a, tending the bar as they normally do, likely for the third night that week, has been watching the disaster unfold all night โ keeping tabs on the long & drawn out gaps of silence, tallying each and every forced smile shared. they, along with the other waitstaff, even have a bet going as to who will up and leave the table first. muse a never once waged their bets on muse b folding first.
muse b has been trying their best moves all night, but each flirtation simply does not land, always falling somewhere juuust out of reach. muse b hasnโt made a single joke worth a real laugh since theyโd walked in the joint, and in an effort to regroup, decides to freshed up at the barโฆ where they just so happened to be served by muse a. while waiting for their drink at the bar โ likely trying to catch a break from the miserable reality that exists back at their table โ muse b strikes up conversation with muse a, and suddenly itโs almost as if every joke and flirtation thatโd been set off and misfired previously found the exact right place to landโฆ muse a.ย
iโm thinkinโ a meetcute where muse a & muse b meet by complete happenstance โ itโs a hookup that turns into more; slow burn, muse a/bโs pasts slowly become unraveled; lots of angst revolving whether or not the other is truly ready for a next level relationship, all that jazz !!
mamma mia (how could I resist you)!!
plot based on the movie mamma mia! (2008) โ muse a and muse b had a summer fling *decades* ago; seasalt & foam, boardwalk lovebirds; ferris wheel rides & popcorn, winning stuffed animals, strawberry kisses && golden glowed hues, exchanging pieces of one another in moonlight; photobooth strips tucked into back pockets and wallets that eventually became dresser drawers and boxes in attics one year after the next. august slipped through their fingers like the tide goes out chasing the horizon โ like waves racing towards the moon.ย
