lucky for you, that’s what i like;

how about a good old "hey you're kind of a brainiac and you have a huge crush on my best friend but because you've never dated you ask me for help and in return i get to use you for my film project. so it's been a couple weeks and i'm kind of falling in love with you even though you're clueless and you haven't caught the hint that my best friend isn't into you? and what?? you've never kissed anybody let me help you practice--and now we've been practicing for a couple weeks and what was that?? you're still into my best friend and think that this was just all practice??? how come you can't see i'm hopelessly in love with you," au??

( I AM YOU, YOU ARE ME ) — in a world where soulmates are literally extensions of each other, every pair dresses the same, has some of the same likes and dislikes, while still maintaining their own personality. muse a has lived most of their life with no soulmate at all, and with all their friends meeting their other half, has resorted to working grave shifts at the convenience store where they meet muse b, who happens to dress exactly like them, but muse a thinks this is all a joke, they’ve known muse b for years and they’ve never dressed the same and they’ve barely even talked. little do they know muse b has purposely been changing and avoiding them because they don’t feel like muse a will accept them—but eventually stops trying to hide and tries to woo a reluctant muse a.

( I’M YOUNG ) — muse a and their band has made it big time back home, but muse a can’t forget their ex, who they’ve left behind with both of them bearing broken hearts in a different country after a beautiful relationship came to an ugly end. months later after partying, scandals and loneliness, muse a boards a plane back to muse b, who is stone cold when letting them into their apartment. after a one sided argument where muse b asks repeatedly why muse a came, the two end up kissing, but muse b quickly has to hide muse a when their new significant other comes over unexpectedly. trying to distract the other, muse b announces they’re pregnant, and muse a, not understanding, believes it, and sneaks out, again broken hearted—leaving muse b to chase them down in another country.

( GIVE LOVE ) — muse a has been crushing on muse b since pretty much forever, who’s older than them by a couple years and therefore, way out of their league. noticing they hang around muse c a lot probably crushing on them too, muse a devises a plan to steal muse b away and get together with them, but muse b doesn’t seem to see muse a as anything other than a younger sibling figure, and muse c is getting more and more suspicious of muse a, who is now a very annoying third wheel.

( THERE IS NO TOMORROW ) *modified slightly — muse a and muse b are two badasses, the two nobody messes with. dating for months now, the relationship tilts between fine and near ruins, muse a working as a street fighter and muse b working as a bartender. muse a is often gone all times of the night and comes back home in the morning covered in blood and bruises, causing muse b to worry and causing both of them to fight. eventually they break up and muse a starts sleeping around, but they get back together because muse b is concerned about them. one day a fight gets real bad and the police get involved, and muse a disappears off the face of the earth without a word to muse b, fearing for their safety.muse b, terrified, lives on wondering what happened to their partner, until one day while traveling, they wander into a street fight and see muse a, and all hell breaks loose.

( ERASE ) — muse a and muse b used to date, but went through a bitter breakup, since the relationship was filled with jealousy and coldness with brief moments of happiness, mostly because muse b doesn’t believe in love and thinks muse a could do better. though there’s still strong feelings on both sides, they lose contact and meet again a year later at a bar. muse a looks completely different and is dating the bartender, muse b is in yet another cold relationship that they doesn’t care about. after that encounter, they keep meeting again and again, and keep pushing each other away, until muse b puts their foot down and asks why they didn’t make it and why can’t they be together again.

( GONE ) *modified slightly — muse a is a budding pianist with a heart condition, studying under a teacher who’s home they go to everyday for lessons. one day they see muse b come in, and through some investigation, learns that muse b is blind. muse b, the child of the piano teacher, has been living as a secret all these years, as their father is very renowned and any knowledge of their existence would stir up news. however, they often listen to muse a’s piano playing, thinking its beautiful. after trying to play on their own one day, muse a stumbles in and helps, and a romance develops, one muse b’s father is not happy about. so instead they sneak around secretly, but one day they get caught and security drags muse a out, making them drop their medication, and muse b picks it up, not knowing what it is or of what muse a’s condition is. days later, muse a returns and passes out while playing, not having taken their medication for days, and is rushed to the hospital. though muse b’s father tries to discourage any communication, muse b threatens to expose their father’s secret about them. when muse b finally finds muse a at the hospital, they visit everyday until muse a wakes up, and promises never to leave them, even though the health diagnosis for muse a looks bleak, another secret they are hiding from muse b.

instead of prepping for finals i watched our family wedding which also makes for an awesome plot...so muse a and muse b met in college, muse a studying law and muse b studying medicine, and they fell in love. muse b decided that he wanted to help people, so he applied to doctor’s without borders and is being sent to southeast asia. unable to leave muse a behind, who’s quit law school and has been volunteering teaching immigrant kids for three months, they decide to travel home and get married. but...muse a has never mentioned muse b to her parents, nor do they know their ‘perfect daughter’ has dropped out of law school. on the other hand, muse b, raised by a single father still living the bachelor life, can’t seem to get his dad on board with him getting married since his father’s marriage ended up in tatters.to make matters worse, muse a and muse b’s father can’t seem to get along from the getgo, and when both families learn their kids are getting married....muse a’s family wants a traditional wedding based on their culture, and muse b’s father would like something that caters more to his family’s culture and muse a&b are so stressed trying to make everybody happy....with secrets looming and only three weeks to get married before the couple ships off, it might go down perfectly....or there might not be a wedding at all.

i just finished watching leap year and it had the cutest plot so! muse a is a busybody, precise and a huge perfectionist who wants everything for her life, she has a great job and a steady boyfriend—a big shot doctor—of four years, who she thinks is finally going to pop the question and put a ring on her finger before he jets off to dublin, ireland for a convention. but he doesn’t, and suddenly muse a believes in old superstitions, like the one that says women can propose only on feburary 29th, a leap year. so she jets off to dublin, only to have her flight landed hours away from where she needs to be because of a storm. she ends up in the case of muse b, a smart ass, sarcastic pub owner with a chip on his shoulder after his fiance ran away with his best friend. in danger of losing the pub he owns, he accepts muse a’s demanding offer to drive her to dublin for some money...and things don’t go right. the car ends up in a lake, they miss trains, buses, and bicker the whole way. but eventually they fall for each other...just in time to finally arrive in dublin where in a weird twist of fate, muse a’s boyfriend actually proposes! who is she gonna pick?

a cute twist !

arranged (based on the show)— the modern world would like to think that the ways of arranged marriage are old and outdated, but some cultures and some families still do practice this in their communities. many generations grow up in families where the parents where arranged to be married, and so on. the time has come for a new couple to be arranged and it’s even tougher to now begin a life with a person you’re maybe not that familiar with, you may not even like or get along with, and have to adapt your life to whatever standards your culture or family has had in their ancestry for so long. and adapting to somebody else’s too. and when divorce is the most frowned upon thing....nobody really wants to give up on a marriage if if can be saved right? even if you hate each other a little? or a lot? the hard part comes in figuring out as a couple how you’ll adapt to each other and each other’s family and continue the rules that have been seemingly written in stone, or whether you’ll make your own rules.

married at first sight (based on the show!) — not everybody finds their true love, even though they so desperately want it. so a group of single people have gotten together and agreed to be coupled together by specialists. the thing is, they won’t find out who they’re going to be coupled with until their wedding day, when they will finally meet each other at the alter. it seems all great on the day of the wedding and first few days of the honeymoon, but they’re legally married now. that means they’ll have to move in together, somebody might have to give up a job, possibly moving into a different state, figuring out each other’s personalities and of course, dealing with each other’s in-laws. the first year of marriage is the hardest—and that’s the time frame to fall in love and truly develop a relationship. in one year, the couple will meet again with the specialists to determine if they want to continue the marriage, or get a divorce.  

but a plot inspired by these photos like, muse a is a college football player living his dream playing for his family college, and muse b has finally managed to gain a coveted spot at a performance arts college for ballet. after muse a’s team loses game after game, their coach pulls a couple strings to get them to go old school and learn ballet to help them be more swift on the field, and muse b is apart of the group chosen at her school to help them. for the next month, muse a and muse b are partnered up, coaching muse a through the steps and the two growing closer and okay like muse a is super clumsy and always stepping on muse b’s feet and he’s like “sorry i’m so sorry” and she smiles through the pain and they do it again and again and then muse a has to learn better posture and how to move his feet and teaches muse b about football (which she doesn’t get) and she goes to his games and all this cute shit who doesn’t love cute fluffy tear your heart out fluffballs

so a plot based off relationship goals by vanessa white because i’m obsessed— muse a and muse b are both celebs in hollywood, but neither really has a good reputation. muse a is controversial for being sexy, from her songs to her videos, to the amount of people she’s dated while being in the spotlight. despite being slut shamed nearly everyday, she’s kept her head high and has been active in promoting for equality in the industry and society. muse b isn’t much better, branded a mysterious bad boy by the media for his party boy ways and habits of always being at some club with a different girl every night. nobody knows that every woman he’s ever slept with has been treated with respect and her privacy has always been protected, after all his parents taught him better. so when they happen to bump into each other at an event and start seeing each other, the media bursts into thinking they’re just another hollywood couple disaster bound to happen—cheating, lying, the works. BUT. it’s the opposite. muse a and muse b have one of the most open, honest and envied relationships around—because what the media doesn’t know is that they’re actually decent people despite the image they put off, so even though there’s pressure and they both fight, in the end both only have eyes for each other. and suddenly they’re relationship goals for about everybody.

paint me the color of love — muse a and muse b are artists in their own respective ways. muse a sees the body as a canvas, thus he has tattoos trailing up and down his arms and upper body. he spray paints on abandoned buildings, in subway stations—anywhere. his best friend is his notebook and a charcoal pencil. muse b is a painter, in love with colors and dragging her brush across canvases. her room is full of canvases with unfinished paintings, her jeans and clothes are splattered in colors, she has wonders in her eyes all the time. muse a and b meet by accident, but are drawn to each other’s artistic talents and fall in love. but love is not simple and they clash constantly. muse a sees life for the cold, harsh, reality it is, muse b would rather look on the brighter side of things. with such different views and different styles, they’re always falling apart and coming back together, and though they silently know the relationship is doomed to fail, they keep trying to stay together anyway.

part a.   the main plot.

part b. choose your own adventure! take the above base plot as play it out alone, or choose from the added twists below for more pain. 

i know you don’t care too much, but i still care.

muse a and muse b have been friends for a couple of years—met by accident when muse a spilled their own coffee on the other on a rainy day. sparks flew and they dated for quite a while before muse b broke things off, but both still maintaining a strong friendship regardless of the fact that muse a’s heart was broken and still longed for muse b. muse b reenters the dating scene and muse a’s apartment quickly becomes the place to meet up and discuss one of many dating failures and life events. eventually muse b does find somebody they like for the long haul but muse a watches their friend become a shell of who they used to be, clearly being changed by their new partner. when said partner bursts into muse a’s apartment, furious by muse a&b’s friendship, muse a—fed up and frustrated by how this person has changed the person they fell in love with—stands up for them self, letting their true feelings be known—that they’ve never stopped loving muse b, that they will never know muse b the way muse a knows them, how they’ve spent every day for months pining for a love that is no longer. muse b is caught off guard, but defends their partner and shuts muse a down, and their friendship falls apart that very day.

months later, muse b is single and miserable and has spent all of their time looking for muse a, who cut off all communication after the argument and even moved. when they finally find muse a again, they want them back—in a relationship like they had so long ago. but it’s clear they’re going to have to make muse a fall in love with them all over again—and they have to fall in love with muse a all over again too.

let's not fall in love ;; muse a and muse b have been off and on flirting for as long as anybody can remember, but nobody's ever made the move to say 'let's date, i like you' yet and muse a is increasingly frustrated by muse b's shrugging off when asked if they have any romantic feelings for muse a. truth is, muse b has been head over heels for muse a since the day they met—but is plagued by the feeling of not being good enough, terrified of breaking muse a's heart and ruining the only good thing in their life at the moment. it's easier to remain friends they think—until muse a gets tired of waiting and moves on, breaking muse b's heart. it'a time for muse b to make a decision: will they fight for the person they truly love, or push them away to save the both of them from hurt?

{ A } is a famous musician who’s let fame get to their head. Long ago, they wrote all their own music, was super in touch with their fans, and had the most promising career of all. But when they rose to stardom almost instantly, the limelight got to their head and they’ve quit writing their own music, are known to be kind of rude to their fans, and while they’re practically an A lister, everybody knows they’ve lost themselves. { B } is a broke college drop out working two jobs and playing for free at a local bar three times a week, but has a passion for music nobody can deny. They write their own music, play three different instruments, and have tried and failed too many times to get into the music industry. One day while out with friends, { A } saunters into the bar where { B } is playing and is surprised by how raw but real { B }’s music is—reminding them a lot of themselves a couple years ago. { A } tries to come onto { B } with promises of making them famous, but { B } gives them the cold shoulder right off the bat but is surprised when { A } shows up to every one of their gigs persistently for two weeks. { A } wants them in every way because they believe maybe they can return to being themselves and thinks they’ve finally found somebody who could see past their new personality and see the person that they want to be again, but { B } could care less. So { A } gets them a job producing their next album, an offer they know { B } can’t refuse, and the only way { A } knows to get close to them to show that they really do want to change. But will it work?
