“Why are you doing this?”

“This isn’t like you...”

“I told you to stay away.”

“This is all your fault!”

“I don’t have much time left...”

“You’ll remember me, won’t you?”

“But... you promised...”

“I lied.” 

“Who are you again?”

“Leave. And don’t come back.”

“I’m not telling you.”

“Stop!”

A butler notices his lady of the house has changed—meek and kind instead of evil. One day, he overhears her crying: "Why?! I did everything right, so why the bad end?! This isn't fair... I don't want to die."

When a mage is badly injured, magic sometimes "fills in the gaps"—growing an arcane hand or leg. You suffered brain damage that would have killed most. Magic filled in your mind.

A new dating spell is trending in the magic world—cast it, and if your perfect match also does, you’ll instantly know who and where they are. Simple. Yours just activated. Their name burns in your mind… and their location? Deep beneath the earth, at the bottom of a dungeon no one returns from.

A friend invites you over to an apartment he bought, raving about the grandness and low rent. Once you visit, you discover that it’s actually completely haunted. Your friend has no idea.

wait i actually got an idea

like my blorbos are stuck at the airport and there is like heavy snow bad weather and they get stranded but they need to be home by the holidays or smth ill get to that later so they are forced to shar a car with a couple other strangers they too are strangers at this point and everyone discovers things about each other and they become friends and whatever they are in my canons

like shes a i think a lawyer that has suspect shady dealings "you dont know anything about me"

hes an investigator. maybe not? it would be too cliche. maybe he like. idk probably not. not some cozy profession. retired from the army? "but i have a few good guesses"

they are traveling with uh a recently married couple, i think they own a bakery??? going home from their honeymoon. shes nice. may have landed in jail for pickpocketing in the past? her husband is like. nice nice. sometimes poison nice. they may not be married? like i do think of them as like the not marrying type in the origin story. maybe a different separated couple? friends with lawyer lady.

some sussy doctor that she has a past with

some random lady, tough and muscly idk what she does yet but in my regular story head shes like an assassin, like the big guns type more of a hitman ig. they all are some form of criminal. i think it would count as semi-magical crime and stuff in a modern city, kinda similar to a few other settings that exist in modern times.

bakery lady is a thief. the doctor is a doctor, extra sussy ver. lawyer is like daughter of a crime boss, high ranking dangerous and like very mentally ill. investigator is a police officer, hotheaded and stufff, lowkey messed up as well and i still need to come up with a reason for that. bakery guy is the poison guy that learned from his super sweet grandmother i think.

there is also this super shady guy that is like crazy and stuff. idk seems like there is too many pairings and no enough fun queerplatonic relationships cuz those are fun too like i the kind thats more like i want to sink into your skin instead of i want to be involved sexually and romantically with you. like not typical tooth rotting romance cuz thats like boring and just like. ew.

its like a minivan and who knows what will happen stuck in close proximity going cross country for needs and stuff.

the more i think about this the more i hate this so im not going to think too hard about it its just an idea anyways.

This links to a wheel with nearly a hundred fic tropes for plots, settings, and more. Spin it twice.

This could also work with art inspiration, but the buttons only allow for so many characters on them. And please do ramble in the tags! I'm going to have no idea what most of you are talking about, and it's going to be great.

i got road trip and jealousy..... very interesting combo???

maybe an au for my current blorbos in my head? idk when i think of road trip, its like not one of those fluffy ones. its like. coming to terms with your past on this trip across the country retracing the paths of someone you once knew or smth like that. not cute like family style fluff, at least not at first.

Jealousy FITS tho. both my blorbos are very. uh. kinda obsessive? but like. in the fun way?????

so, my brain was being weird and bringing up old movies that i watched years ago, and somehow i thought of inception. i don't really remember the plot all that well since it was a while ago, but the general gist of things gave me some inspiration for tfo since that movie will never leave my mind. dead wife haunting the narrative, confusing dream sequences, a chance of redemption, planting an idea in somebody's head. call me crazy but this might be a tfo dpax/megop fix it plot and possibly a first attempt at a multi-chapter fic if motivation holds steady. is that too niche or should i attempt it haha (ᵕ—ᴗ—) i'd definetely have to rewatch it then

you were warned. you knew better. your best friend hated him. your mom said he had "shifty eyes."

but he smiled at you like you hung the stars—and that was enough.

here’s your prompt. write it like you’re 17 again and every word he said was poetry.
