classical musician au? like muse a is a highly acclaimed classical musician (piano/violin/etc) who’s lost sight of their love for music, where their entire life revolves around their profession and being technically flawless but bland. muse b is a busker barely making rent every month, and when muse a hears muse b playing outside a coffee shop one day they’re completely captivated by muse b’s music. it’s a love for music they haven’t felt in ages, which is why muse a makes a quick move to get to know this struggling street musician.

ANASTASIA – muse a was born into a wealthy political family, the youngest child in a long line of people who had the courage to speak out against what was wrong - and in return, earn a long list of enemies along the way. one evening after speaking out against a violent one, the entire family of muse a finds themselves as the victim of an attack on their estate. muse a and their grandfather attempt to escape the burning house, but are separated, muse a swallowed up by the crowd. hoping the child is safe, the grandfather continues on, thinking that muse a will find them eventually. however, years go by and nothing. meanwhile, muse b is a petty thief and scammer who looks to make quick cash in the easiest way possible, and happens to come across a paper that boldy claims five million dollar reward for anyone who can restore muse a to their family. with a trick up their sleeve and enough knowledge about the former family, muse b knows that money is as good as theirs, all they need to find is the person to play the part. in comes muse a, who’s spent the last ten years of their life in a dark cloud, the only memory of their life being their first name.

“hey, i need a kidney.”

the "i don't have a date but i need one, hey you" trope + fake dating/marriage plots

i. "we were drunk one night and well we got married in vegas??? who the are you???"
i. (cont.) "my family is so happy we're married but i'm telling them it's off-- wait, we got a wedding present???"
ii. "i'm gay, you're gay, but my family is reeallly homophobic. wanna be my straight lover for the day?"
iii. "my ex invited me to their wedding, i need a banging date.... hey, i could order a e?"
iv. "my family likes you, my ex, better than anyone else i've dated and they were crushed when we broke so hey-- can you be my boy/girlfriend again just for this family reunion so i can get my family off my back?"

We always see each other in the elevator and it’s blatantly obvious you’re terrified of them even if you insist you aren’t.

You were drunk and you broke into my apartment and when you found out this wasn’t your friend’s apartment you started crying and I really don’t know what to do?

The walls are paper thin and i’m not even really sure how it started but every night we have conversations about our day over dinner and at this point idk why I haven’t just invited you over?

The walls are paper thin and I hear you having obnoxious parties every night, and I would be mad but at the end of it all I can hear you crying yourself to sleep and i’m actually kind of worried about this lifestyle you’re living?

The walls are paper thin and you just heard the brutal break up of me and my ex, and now you’re trying to comfort me through the walls and it’s kinda awkward but it’s also helping so?

“i haven’t seen you in years because you just got back from the military.”

the "my company made us date for popularity" trope

i. "i'm gay, you're gay, and i asked my company to come out but they made me date you instead???"
ii. "i'm getting a lot of hate for dating someone i'm not even actually dating."
iii. "i'm actually dating someone 6 years older but to make me not look so gold-diggerish i have to date you."
iv. "this was supposed to be just a collab, not a marriage proposal-"
v. "we were best friends when we were trainees and the company made us date a while after we debuted and like, okay you're my bff it's fine, right????"
vi. "my company thought i was the person you got caught kissing behind a wendy's so they confirmed that we're dating."
vii. "i playfully retweeted one of your tweets, making fun of your favourite movie, which resulted in you harshly/playfully insulted my music taste and we kinda playfully fought and now ppl ship us together including our company ceos bc apparently we're going to go on a fake date now and dispatch is gonna catch us smh"
