𝚋𝚎𝚢𝚘𝚗𝚍 𝚜𝚞𝚖𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐.   muse a finds a summoning ritual for muse b to make a small deal. can be a demon of lust to take their virginity, contract maker to give them wealth/fame, anything. after the transaction, muse b decides to extend their welcome and continue to stay with muse a. they like watching the other squirm and getting under their skin, but humans are also incredibly entertaining this close up. 

𝚊 𝚐𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝚠𝚒𝚜𝚑.   muse a is reminiscing of the one that got away or a great friend that they had. one day in the park they run into muse b, an exact replica of the person that they cannot get out of their mind. could be the same person that hasn’t aged, shapeshifter, or a doppelganger of sorts. now they’re doing everything in their power to build up the courage to approach muse b. even if it means stopping by the park three times a day. (can also be reversed where the human is the one that looks like someone from the monster’s past)

𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚜𝚊𝚟𝚎.   muse a is attacked by a supernatural creature (or regular human) and muse b, another creature, finds them injured. they end up taking care of them. it requires soft touches to bandage and wrap them up, making sure they’re eating, and the works. soon enough the initial attacker comes back to finish the job. muse a sees muse b’s supernatural side for the first time when they’re protecting them. can it be? is the person that’s been helping them this whole time a monster? 

𝚐𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝𝚋𝚞𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜.   muse a is in a group of hunters or myth busters. they’ve recently come into the town muse b, a supernatural creature, resides in. as fate would have it, muse a stumbles across muse b when they’re alone. do they go on the offensive? do they give the monster a chance? do they protect the creature from their group? only time will tell how these stories meld. 

𝙼𝙾𝙽𝚂𝚃𝙴𝚁 𝚡 𝙼𝙾𝙽𝚂𝚃𝙴𝚁

𝚋𝚘𝚗𝚗𝚒𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚌𝚕𝚢𝚍𝚎.   apart muse a and b are already quite powerful and dangerous to the population. together? they’re practically unstoppable. they got together while hunting down the same target and ended up forming a frightening pair. news articles report on the new bonnie and clyde, yet the cops never seem to be closer to catching them. they’re living their best life while terrorizing the locals of each town they visit. they have a map of the world and they’re painting it red. 

𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚕 𝚘𝚊𝚜𝚒𝚜.   muse a and b are running from the same pack of hunters/other supernatural group. they’re hiding out in abandoned churches/houses, hunting with the darkness as their cover, and always looking behind their shoulders. still, they find a strange solace in one another. there’s a peace they can’t achieve alone, knowing someone is going to have their back in case the hunters come and they aren’t paying attention. 

𝚒'𝚕𝚕 𝚠𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚛.   for whatever reason, muse a and b always find themselves in constant competition. they were mundane up until the point that they found out they were both supernatural. now instead of who can score the most goals or make the most money, it’s who can capture the most prey or perform the most impressive magic. a long competition that’s never going to end can bond two monsters for eternity. 

𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚕 𝚊𝚖𝚋𝚒𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎.     for a reason unknown to them, the majority of a small town disappears and a group is left behind. they have no connection to the outside world and it’s almost as if the only thing surrounding them is dense forest. no phone calls reach out, no internet to stay up to date, nothing. are they in a parallel universe? are they stuck there forever? who knows. 

𝚝𝚛𝚞𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚝.     muse a is the recently elected mayor of this new community. there’s a lot of pressure on their shoulders as most of public decisions are on them. muse(s) b (& c) is/are a part of their council. they’re the ones they can turn to in private. maybe governing the town won’t be so bad if they stick together. 

𝚏𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚖𝚒𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚎𝚗𝚍.     they were rivals when the town was fully occupied and they’re still rivals now. although they agree on how the town needs to be run for the most part, so they combine forces to get the job done. there’s never going to be complete trust in between them, but if they can make it through the meetings without killing one another that’s already a win. 

𝚐𝚞𝚊𝚛𝚍'𝚜 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗.     muse a is the mayor, but they need protection as threats are becoming more apparent / rising. muse(s) b & c are the ones they call upon to watch their back. maybe they were jocks, officers, bodyguards before. soon enough muse a begins to want them around for more than just guarding. they’re comfortable to be around and everyone feels protected. is it alright to blur professional boundaries if the new town has no rules? 

𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖.     muse a always had a thing for muse b, but they were practically invisible to them while in the town. before the weird occurence, these muse barely even said a word to each other. after muse a does something out of the ordinary (being heroic, taking charge, saving muse b, working together, etc), muse b finally begins to notice them. they grow close to one another in their new situation. 

𝚗𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚎𝚗𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚜𝚕𝚎𝚎𝚙𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛.     these muses were put together to sleep under the same roof. with the lack of connection to the outside world, they have to economize on water and electricity. whether the muses were friendly, rivals, or even lovers before is up in the air, but one thing is for certain. going from having your own place to living with someone certainly changes things. 

𝚕𝚘𝚢𝚊𝚕 𝚔𝚗𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝.     muse a is the one wearing the crown. they’re leading a nation and a lot is expected from them. with the crown comes great danger and that’s where muse b comes in, their noble knight in shining armor. they spend countless of moments together while out on adventurous and the lines begin to blur. soon enough muse b finds themselves not being able to hold back, not caring they aren’t a royal themselves. they make a move after an intense battle. 

𝚒𝚗𝚗𝚎𝚛 𝚌𝚒𝚛𝚌𝚕𝚎.     muse a is the prince/princess/lord/lady of the kingdom. a lot of expectations are put onto them. muse b is a part of their royal court and one of the only ones that they can truly trust. soon enough this budding friendship turns into something more. they tell each other everything and because of that, there’s no stopping them from spending nights together either. 

𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚛𝚒𝚊𝚐𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚗𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜.     muse a and muse b are both royals from warring kingdoms. in order to bring peace onto both lands, an agreement is signed to marry both of them off to each other. they either agree or don’t do the union, but it’s something that they can’t fight. at first it’s just out of duty. there’s no love and that’s not important, love isn’t needed for power. will they fall in love down the line or will it just be political? 

𝚖𝚊𝚐𝚒𝚌 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚍.     muse a is a cocky and confident ruler/royal/noble. they think that by brute force alone they can rule the kingdom and lead with an iron fist. muse b has been protecting them behind the scenes, a mage using magic to ensure success. eventually they reveal what they’ve been doing and the two become an unstoppable duo. 

𝚊𝚌𝚛𝚘𝚜𝚜 𝚌𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚜.     muse a is a royal and muse b is a commoner (servant, cook, w.hore in a brothel, etc). the two aren’t supposed to have nothing in common. yet when they find themselves alone after an attack they seem to bond. they have to sneak around behind everyone’s back. surely if they’re caught they’ll be separated. 

𝚊𝚏𝚏𝚊𝚒𝚛𝚜 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚕𝚎.     muse a is one of the rulers of the kingdom, sitting on the throne in their perfect marriage. muse b is anyone else within the castle (worker, other noble, muse a’s rightful heir, etc) so the two have to interact every now and then. soon enough muse a realizes they’re attracted to muse b. will they risk it all for them or will they stick to their duty? 

𝚌𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚋𝚕𝚞𝚎𝚜.     muse a has been dating muse b’s sibling for a while now. yet something has turned off in their relationship since they’re both on extremely different schedules. one day muse a is over at their partner’s house and they start hooking up. the partner gets an emergency call and has to leave the house. muse b stumbles upon an aroused muse a and decides to finish the job. 

𝚌𝚞𝚕 𝚍𝚎 𝚜𝚊𝚌.     muse a has recently moved into a new neighborhood with their spouse. they’re desperately trying to make things work, but the passion isn’t there. muse b is their next door neighbor who has been there since day one. they delivered a pie and welcomed them into the neighborhood. one thing led to another and muse b came onto muse a (either in private or a neighborhood gathering). muse a couldn’t resist anymore and they started an affair. 

𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚔 𝚜𝚙𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚎.     everyone has a work spouse. muse a & b are that for each other. whether they’re coworkers on the same level or one is the boss is up in the air. everyone can see their natural connection, but either both or one of them actually has a spouse outside of the company. after an office party muse a & b share a drunken kiss. after that, they’re paired together for a long and taxing project. soon enough they’re not able to keep their hands off of each other, finding pleasure in their work that they can’t get at home. 

𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚎𝚡 𝚑𝚎𝚡.     muse a & b used to date years ago, but for whatever reason they broke up. since then they lived their lives with little to no contact. recently muse a moved to a new town or started a new job and low and behold, muse b is right there with them. they were toxic for each other, to put it simple, but now they can’t seem to stop thinking about one another. after a fight where muse b says muse a still probably thinks about them when they’re intimate with their partner, the two fall into bed together.

𝚕𝚒𝚊𝚛𝚜 𝚗𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚜𝚙𝚎𝚛.    muse a is partnered, but when they go on business trips they act like they aren’t. muse b connected with them on a recent trip and the two let their desires take the best of them. months after this started, muse b finds out muse a has a whole family. will the two continue to see each other or is cheating something that muse b can’t find themselves to be a part of? 

𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚊𝚕 𝚎𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚘𝚢𝚎𝚎.     muse a is the perfect employee on paper. they make the company the most money and everyone likes them. muse b, the boss’ spouse, has even taken a special interest in them. often times when the ceo is out on business, muse b comes into the company to check how things are going. muse a ends up being super attentive, starting an affair with their own role model’s spouse. 

𝚊𝚞𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚢 𝚏𝚒𝚐𝚞𝚛𝚎.     muse a is muse b’s boss / professor / officer / coach / landlord / something that puts them in a position of power. at first their relationship was entirely normal, but then muse a begins to use their authority to be able to have muse b in a whole other way. they get high off of the power that they have over the other person and it begins a twisted relationship. 

𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚍𝚘𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛.     muse a is muse b’s doctor. recently muse a has started to take more of an interest during muse b’s physicals, pushing the line of boundaries more and more every time. is there going to be a point where it gets too much? is there going to be a time where muse b likes it and comes prepared to push it even forward? 

𝚌𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚍 𝚞𝚙.     muse a (group or solo) is muse b’s prison guard. they strike up a deal to protect muse b during the rest of their sentence, but they need something in return. they start coming in during the showers, sneaking into the cell in the middle of the night, taking them to a hidden place during yard time. whenever and however, muse a is going to get their money’s worth. 

𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚛 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚎𝚛.     muse a is famous for one reason or the other and muse b has grown to like seeing them in the tabloids/on their screen. one fateful week they’re in the same town for a press conference and muse b decides to take that for their gain. they begin to follow the star around town, sometimes posing as press, others as an adoring fan, and others just sticking to the background. finally they see their way in when muse a falls/drops something and they swoop into their life to be the hero.  

𝚋𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚔 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚛.     muse a (either a group or just an individual) breaks into muse b’s house to steal something. turns out muse b is still there and catches them in the act. instead of trying to make a break for it, muse a realizes what they really want is the other in bed with them. they stop stealing whatever it is they want and instead try to take muse b for themselves.  

𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚍 𝚌𝚊𝚙𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎.     similarly to the above plot, muse a (again, a group or solo), breaks into muse b’s home to take something. this time they want muse b from the start though, making sure to have enough rope and tape they’re going to need. they take them to an abandoned warehouse or their secret home to have their way with them, over and over again. 

𝚡 𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚙𝚘𝚝.     muse a is a supernatural creature or a human that’s made a lot of enemies in the world. muse b was hired to hunt them down and take them out. right when they have them where they want, muse b realizes they’re right up their alley. instead of killing them, they decided to have their way with them right after the chase. 

𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜 𝚊𝚕𝚠𝚊𝚢𝚜 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚜𝚙𝚎𝚛.    muse a is currently dating muse b’s best friend / parent / relative / etc. on the surface they seem like a happy unit, but something seems to be missing. there’s no spark anymore. muse b notices this and decides to take advantage of it since they always had a thing for muse a. one night when the partner is working late or out partying, muse b decides to turn on the charm factor and finally seduce muse a. 

𝚍𝚘𝚙𝚙𝚎𝚕𝚐𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚛.     muse a has recently discovered they had a son / daughter / niece / nephew / sibling. after getting to know them they realize that they’re attracted to them, but they can never cross that boundary. in comes muse b into their life, someone that looks too much like the aforementioned. they instead focus their attraction on muse b, letting their desires run wild with them. 

𝚋𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚊𝚝 𝚑𝚘𝚖𝚎.    muse a is in a supposed stable relationship and has been for months / years. yet what no one knows is that they get their gratification elsewhere. after almost every date with their partner, they come back home and find themselves in muse b’s bed. this is unbeknownst to anyone since muse b is there (step)relative, but now one else can seem to please them the same. 

𝚌𝚊𝚋𝚒𝚗 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍𝚜.    a (step)family rent out a cabin in the middle of the woods to ring in the new season and bring a guest or two with them. everything seems to be going nice all nice and according to plan until a storm hits or a killer is let out on the loose in their area. they must find comfort in each other, but with the threat of this maybe being their last night together they seem to find too much comfort. can be multiple muses/different connections. 

𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚙𝚕𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚜𝚝𝚞𝚖𝚎.     muse a and muse b’s hate each other for whatever reason. yet they also acknowledge that they’re the most creative rival they’ve ever had. there’s a competition that the pair who comes with the best couple’s costume for the halloween party wins an expensive trip to a beautiful destination. muse a & b try to put their hatred aside to win. they go as far as to start fake dating, trying to make it believable. 

𝚌𝚛𝚊𝚣𝚎𝚍 𝚏𝚊𝚗.     muse a is in the public’s eye for whatever reason (celebrity, politician, socialite, etc) and muse b has definitely noticed. they’ve started to follow their crush around the town, taking pictures, eating in the same restaurants. one night muse a is home alone when their lights come out. turns out that muse b is the one that did it, finally ready to go for what they want. could also be a requited thing where maybe they were childhood friends or something. 

𝚋𝚘𝚗𝚗𝚒𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚌𝚕𝚢𝚍𝚎.     the town has dealt with a recent couple that went on a killing spree. muse a & b are the town’s newest version of bonnie and clyde. they’re taking what they want from people and stealing from the biggest organizations that they can find. there seems to be a thrill that comes with their theft or murder, always leading to some of the steamiest moments together. 

𝚜𝚘𝚕𝚎 𝚜𝚞𝚛𝚟𝚒𝚟𝚘𝚛.     muse a has recently slaughtered every single person in muse b’s friend group. they could have been friends, strangers, or even lovers. they left muse b alive because of their crush on them. eventually, muse a comes out in the open to tell them what they did. does muse a feel flattered they’re too pretty to kill or scared for their life? 

𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚕.   muse a is a supernatural creature of some sort. the spooky season always makes them feel more twisted and they’ve upped their hunting. muse b is their newest target, but soon enough they think they’re too fun to play with. muse a doesn’t kill them right away, has no intention of doing so anymore. instead they want to continue to scare muse b, play with them, have their fun. they should feel special, monsters normally don’t spare humans.

⊹ The chosen one trope's core problem is that it answers the most important question before the story starts. why does this person matter? because a prophecy said so. why will they succeed? because they're chosen. the narrative safety net is visible from page one and it removes all genuine stakes. The reader cannot fully believe the protagonist will fail because the universe has already endorsed their survival. tension requires uncertainty. "destined to win" and "genuine tension" are fighting each other the entire book and only one of them can actually win.

⊹ The more interesting version (and the version that has been saving this trope since forever) is the chosen one who doesn't want to be chosen. not in a "i must refuse the call for one chapter before accepting it" way, but genuinely, structurally, at the level of character design. Someone who has reasons to refuse that are just as valid as the reasons to accept. Someone for whom the prophecy is a cage, not a gift. the chosen one who chooses anyway, knowing the cost, is a completely different protagonist from the one who just follows destiny because destiny said to.

⊹ The prophecy should be wrong about something. or ambiguous in a way that bites back. or right in a way nobody expected and the rightness is worse than the wrongness would have been. A prophecy that turns out to be exactly correct and perfectly interpreted is not a narrative device, it's a spoiler delivered in poetic form at the beginning. The most interesting thing a prophecy can do is be technically accurate in a way that changes everything everyone thought it meant.

Spiritual Leader x Their Deity

“You have quite a lot of smugness about being the one to speak to me.”      “How can I not? They all beg on their knees for a glimpse. I get whole conversations.”      “Conversations held on your knees, regardless.”

“Are you still there?”      “Always.”

“Without me, they would not know to worship you!”      “Without me, you would be nothing.”

“They are not ready to hear your voice.”      “Or perhaps you are not ready to share.”

*with blood stained hands* “Take this suffering as proof of my devotion.”      “I never asked you to spill blood for me.” “And yet you only reply to me when I do.”

“I have given all I possibly could.”      “I suppose it is adequate for a mortal.”

“I expected more from my favorite.” “I-I'm sorry.”      “You should be.”
