✦ — angsty plot ideas
INFIDELITY — muse a is in a long-term relationship that everyone around them assumes is solid, until muse b enters the picture. what starts as harmless late-night chats or friendly drinks becomes so much more with stolen kisses, guilt, along with the constant fear of getting caught. FORBIDDEN AFFAIR — muse a and muse b shouldn't be together. maybe they're tied to people in the same social circle, or one is in a position of authority. they've sworn this would never happen, but here they are, sneaking glances at the bar, brushing hands in elevators, making excuses to slip away when no one's paying attention. COLLEGE TENSION — two students thrown together by circumstance - roommates. lab partners. the unlucky duo stuck running a student event. muse a resents muse b's arrogance, muse b can't stand muse a's laid-back attitude, but the sparks of animosity blur into something else after too many sleepless nights spent side by side. WALLS TOO THIN — muse a and muse b live on the same floor of an apartment complex. at first it's mutual annoyance, hearing each other's arguments and hookups... but slowly, the constant presence breeds familiarity. when one of them goes through something messy, the other is the only one close enough to notice. REBOUND GONE WRONG — muse a is fresh out of a devastating breakup, and muse b becomes the rebound. someone to numb the sting and make them feel wanted again. along the way, the line between distraction and desire becomes indistinguishable. neither of them is sure if what they're building is real or if it's all just a desperate attempt to heal. LOVE VS AMBITION — muse a and muse b fall for each other in the middle of chasing big dreams: grad school, career moves, an opportunity abroad. the connection is undeniable, but so is the reality that love might mean sacrifice. do they hold on and risk resenting each other for what they gave up, or let go before it destroys them both?
