Roommate AU + Love Confessor + Everybody Knows/Mistaken for a Couple

now baby i said two tropes lmao but i’ll let it slide just this once bc i have a cute idea for it 😉

so roger and john become very very close as soon as john joins the band, to the point where they’re almost inseperable. and because of john’s easy going nature and roger’s lack of boundaries lmao, it’s not unsual to see roger’s arms wrapped around deacy’s shoulders as they work on a song together or roger’s head in john’s lap during a break in the studio. so when john’s roommate announces that he’s moving across town and roger’s landlord ups the price of rent again, nobody bats an eyelash when the two of them decide to share a flat.

except now that he’s around roger literally 24/7, john starts to notice things about roger that he definitely didn’t before: like the way his voice gets rough and scratchy when he’s really tired, or the way his eyes sparkle in the weak morning sun. he notices the way roger’s hair falls over his face as they do the dishes together, and the way the muscles in his back ripple when he reaches up to grab a mug from the top cabinet. cue john having a Big Gay Panic AttackTM bc wtf that’s 1) his best friend and 2) that’s his roommate, and he can’t be dreaming about what it’s like to wake up next to roger while he literally has to eat breakfast across from him the next day. and roger’s definitely not helping the matter, considering his lack of boundaries have increase tenfold since he’s moved in - cuddling up in john’s bed after a long day to just hang out, running his fingers through deacy’s hair as they watch tv. plus now that they’ve been hanging around freddie a lot more, roger’s been keen on using pet names, calling john “love” or “dear” every other sentence, and if john hears him softy murmur “goodnight, love” one more time he’s going to explode.

so ofc he decides to get advice from the only person he knows can help. the whole band’s over after a studio session: brian’s dozing off on the arm chair and roger steps out for a quick smoke so deacy pulls freddie aside and nervously tells freddie the whole story. and freddie, bless his heart, he can barely understand what he’s saying, john’s talking so fast, wait darling slow down, what do you mean ‘how do i tell roger’? aren’t the two of you together already? and deacy’s just ??? what?? no of course not why would you even say that?? and freddie just shrugs, you two are more like a married couple than brian and chrissie, so i just assumed....

and john flushes down to his toes, don’t be ridiculous roger doesn’t like me like that and now freddie’s the one who’s ???? because john that poor sod’s been in love with you since your audition and deacy’s mind stops working for a minute bc holy shit

and then someone’s going “it’s true” and john nearly jumps out of his skin, only to find roger standing behind him with a cup of tea made just the way john likes it. “and now that you’re all caught up, maybe we can finally go on a proper date.” and he presses the cup into john’s hand with a soft kiss in the cheek and jesus christ that man is going to be the death of him

Star-Crossed Lovers + Soulmate AU

ooh i like this okay prepare for angst ~

so my favorite soulmate trope is that a person can’t see color until they hear their soulmates voice for the first time, so imagine roger has grown up his entire life not being able to see color and bc of this he became kind of a deliquent bc people who haven’t found their soulmate by a certain age are considered lower class and discriminated against. so after he’s been arrested for the umpth time the judge sentences him to do community service at a rehabilitation center for the blind (who are treated as social outcasts, again bc of their inability to ever see color) and roger is pissed, puts up a fucking fit bc he doesn’t wanna deal with “freaks” (obviously dealing with some internalized hatred here) but he winds up working at this center basically as their janitor until he hears someone laughing in the common room as he’s cleaning the kitchen and BAM suddenly the entire world is bright.

and roger is freaked tf out, has no idea what’s happening until he stumbles into the common room and sees john deacon laughing as he pets the small dog seeing eye dog he has in his lap. so after roger rushes home and comes to terms with everything (and cries at how technicolor the world actually is bc holy shit) he decides to convince his parole office to switch him to a guardian position, so he can get to know who that man with the amazing laugh is...
