manchild

muse a realizes every relationship they've been in has been with emotionally stunted "manchildren." after yet another disastrous date, muse a swears off dating — until they meet muse b, someone who seems different... but they can't tell if they're really grown up, or just better at hiding it.

tears

after years of toxic relationships, muse a discovers how wildly attractive it is when muse b actually respects them — does the dishes, listens to them, shows up. the story follows them as they wrestle with whether love can really be this simple, or if they're waiting for the other shoe to drop.

my man on willpower

a couple struggles when the person they fell in love with — a spontaneous, passionate risk-taker — suddenly becomes obsessed with discipline and self-control. the tension builds as they long for the fire they once had, forcing them to question whether people really change, or if they just bury who they are.

sugar talking

muse a becomes entangled with muse b, who's all charm and no follow-through. muse b showers them with compliments and sweet words, but never shows up when it matters. as muse a slowly pulls away, they plan a confrontation that will expose whether muse b's sugar-coated promises were ever meant to mean anything.

we almost broke up again last night

set over the course of one wild evening, a couple teeters on the edge of breaking up for the third time in a month. between screaming matches, makeup kisses, and late-night texts, they must decide if the chaos is love — or just addiction to the drama.

nobody's son

muse a falls for muse b, who is detached, drifting, and refuses to belong to anyone — not a family, not a relationship, not even themself. muse a becomes determined to break through muse b's walls, only to discover that saving someone who doesn't want to be saved might cost them more than they can give.

never getting laid

a once-passionate couple falls into a rut, their physical connection all but gone. told with humor and frustration, muse a schemes increasingly ridiculous ways to reignite the spark — until an unexpected moment of vulnerability finally cracks the ice.

when did you get hot?

two lifelong friends who have always seen each other as platonic suddenly notice sparks. what was once familiarity turns into an awkward, thrilling tension as they both wrestle with the terrifying question: risk the friendship, or ignore the chemistry?

go go juice

one reckless night changes everything when, y/m is fueled by "liquid courage", makes a series of impulsive decisions — confessing feelings to someone they shouldn't, dialing an ex, and winding up in the middle of a scandal. now they have to deal with the fallout once the "juice" wears off.

don't worry i'll make you worry

after being strung along by muse b, who kept them up at night with games and uncertainty, muse a decides to flip the script. they become the one in control, the one who stirs doubt and insecurity, forcing muse b to finally understand what it feels like. but revenge quickly blurs into something more dangerous.

house tour

after meeting muse b, muse a decides to let their guard down in the most intimate way possible. framing their body as a "house," they invite muse b on a "tour" — every room, every corner, every hidden space. what starts playful quickly turns charged, a metaphor for exploring both muse a's physical desires and the deeper vulnerability of opening themself up to someone new.

goodbye

mad. muse a and muse b spent their highschool / college years hating each other - not really knowing why. they meet again some years later and muse a ends up confessing that they had a crush on muse b the whole time but didn't know how to deal with it. muse b admits to the same thing. now that the energy has shifted into attraction, they ask themselves - did they waste all this time being mad?

sometimes/why is she still here? a messy situationship vibe. muse a and muse b have been having a thing for years, started as a hook-up but caught feelings along the way. muse a is with someone else and yet keeps stringing muse b along, not really theirs, but not leaving them find someone else. muse b is growing tired of only having them sometimes, and wonders why they're still here.

i can't have you around me anymore. muse a is muse b's ex - and best friend. they've stayed close, probably closer than they should be - too close for muse b's girlfriend's comfort. they hang out in secret places, end up naked, nothing ever happens but they're always a little too close in pictures. when muse b's girlfriend asks them to choose, they decide they can't have muse a around anymore - but can't stop wondering if they should be with them instead.

i like you better when you're gone. muse a and muse b have had a good thing going on for years, but muse a had to move across the country for work and now they only see each other a few times a month. when they're together it feels like before - almost. but slowly, muse a starts feeling that they like muse b better when they're gone - and wonders if they're just idealizing something that is over.

+ (a fun one, to balance out the angst) good girl/shy. muse a has always been a good girl, never drinking or sleeping around. but then muse b showed up and took them dancing 'til the sun came up and they ended up falling in bed together. muse a has always been shy but now she's discovered what being bad feels like and begs muse b to ruin her life, making everyone in her life worried about her.

muse a and muse b are two of the biggest stars in the NFL, playing for rival teams and facing each other season after season. their rivalry begins in their rookie year with intense competition, trash talk, and a viral on field clash that sets the tone for their careers. after their first matchup, a heated argument turns into an unexpected hookup. they agree it means nothing and won't happen again, but it does. over the years, they fall into a secret, on and off relationship, meeting in hotel rooms after games and pretending they can't stand each other in public. on the field, they are bitter enemies. off the field, they are each other's closest confidants. neither is willing to admit their feelings, especially with their careers, reputations, and endorsements at stake. muse a is cautious and focused on legacy, while muse b resents being kept a secret and wants more than stolen moments. as their fame grows, so do the emotional stakes. miscommunication, jealousy, and fear of being exposed repeatedly tear them apart. each breakup lasts longer than the last, until muse b finally walks away, unwilling to settle for half a relationship. faced with losing muse b for good, muse a is forced to confront their fear and chooses love over image. finally, in a public moment that shocks the league, muse a finally acknowledges their relationship. how things go from there can be up for discussion!!
