they’re getting closer! as for luke and bobby...

This would of course be them in an AU where Willie and the Himbos aren’t dead and everyone is in their 20s!! (Made with DollDivine's Hallmark Movie generator)

Note: Willie’s skin tone seems to differ depending on whether you’re using a browser or you’re on mobile to view these, so if he appears lighter when on browser to some than that isn’t how he looked when I made the poster or when viewed on mobile. Same may apply for Julie and Flynn, with the shade some people see being lighter and not the true color it really is. 

Willex: Our boys Willie and Alex! Alex, a museum director (perfect I know, they didn’t have really any music related job options) meeting a mysterious stranger Willie, who intrigues him and can pull him out of his head when his thoughts become too much. Alex's fresh start on life (after unspecified events occur, like maybe he loses that job or a bad breakup) is looking up. Willie, too, is intrigued by Alex when they meet and finds himself wanting to know more about the real guy behind all the anxiousness and sarcasm.

Juke/Jukebox: The soulmate vibe with these two is on another level. Julie, a bookshop owner, returning home because of a promise she made, and plans to keep, from childhood. That last line on the poster being an option floors me and is perfection for Luke and Julie. A connection through music and him inspiring her to perform again is everything. Luke sensing how much of a star Julie is and will be from the moment they introduce themselves and then when they sing together he is utterly captivated by her. They end up connecting over not only music, but shared family trauma/drama, which influences their music and leads to more emotional/impactful lyrics.

Flarrie: The power couple that is Carrie and Flynn! Carrie, a party planner (thought it suited her well out of the job options), buying a plane ticket to a random town intent on finding herself again. Once there she meets and instantly connects with Flynn, the town's mayor, who is fed up with the idea of ‘love’. Flynn is dealing with her own issues, like a family pushing her to marry for power and stability. Both women help each other to open their hearts up again and fight for what they want and for who they love. Ultimately discovering talents, hobbies or dreams they had forgotten they ever had and definitely planning to make new ones with each other in the future.

Nickinald: A couple worming their way into my heart day-by-day. Reggie, a restaurant critic (perfect because he loves food), while on assignment in a small town runs into a problem. The problem? A handsome local business owner who both aggravates and captivates him at every turn. The more time they spend together, whether fighting or connecting over shared interests, the more Reggie starts to glimpse a deeper side to Nick. One which isn’t so different from the side of himself he keeps behind a mask and hidden from the world. Nick’s music store (I was going to leave his business type unspecified but I think a music store would be perfect) is the place where he finds sanctuary and where, when they're not arguing/disagreeing with each other, Reggie can see him let go and shed the tough guy exterior he puts up. Reggie knows that feeling too. When music can be an escape from life's stress and provide an outlet for all the emotions one keeps bottled up inside.

dancing with our hands tied, co-written by @nuandia ​

to start we have sunset curve, obviously, and then willie, and then nick, because they all deserve so much love

now hear me out. luke and alex started dating first. then reggie. then bobby joined after extensive months of pining and feeling left out.

and then alex met willie when they died and he was like "uhhmmm heyy guys. so i might have found us another boyfriend, you know if you're cool with it" and they most definitely were because everyone loves willie

and when luke first saw nick he was ~intrigued~ if you will but he wasn't going to do anything about it because he's not exactly the best with feelings, you know? and he already has four boyfriends

but then julie introduces nick to the band, and reggie starts hanging out with him especially, always seeking him out in the crowd of their gigs, and one day he brings him to the studio like "question for all my boyfriends in the room. how would you feel about dating *will smith presentation hands* this guy :D ?"

and they're like okay,, sure, and they're all in love and gay and happy the end
