HI IDK IF I SHOULD SAY IT BUTTTT I GOT AN ABHIMAN REINCARNATION AU IDEAA!!!!
it goes like
or something like abhishek and shubman were lovers and married to each other, they lose their life in a fatal accident now they are rebirthed and playing for team india and are best of best of friends. this year as abhishek turned 25 years of age he has started getting flashbacks that are voilent in their process of occurence that leaves abhishek gasping for breath and trembling in shubman's hold (he constantly supports him through it) however he doesnt share anything he sees with shubman as he himself cant pinpoint a certain meaning out of it. but yk with course of time (4 months, yeah im impatient like that) abhishek knows everything about his past life and he can't help but see shubman differently (in a good like he's in love with him) and shubman is growing frustrated with abhishek's peculiar behaviour because he's not ready to consult a doctor despite getting those 'strokes' once a week.
IDK HOW THE STORY SHOULD PROCESS IT JUST POPPED IN MY HEAD ANDD NOWOWW IM EMPTYYY i cant think of anything further. but yeah lemme know what u think
why shouldn't you say it?! we love abhiman in this house, you should shout out your ideas from the rooftops!! anywah. i am such a sucker for reincarnation aus. like you don't understand. they're so 🤌🤌🤌 i think I'll have too much to say 😆
first of all. your idea is fucking awesome! i have Questions because i just neeeed to know more (you absolutely don't have to answer if they're spoilers):
when were they lovers? was it like in om shanthi om where they get reincarnated right after they die? or is it like an au where they were lovers way in the past, like medieval times or something?
obsessed with the concept of abhay getting these seizure-like flashbacks, but why is it just him? why not shubman, too? 😭
i assume abhi's feelings developed after the flashbacks started? or did he have them even before? and does shubman have feelings for him, too? 🥺
i don't know if you're asking for advice or ideas, and I'm usually in favour of letting people choose their story, but maybe i can give you some things to think about:
what's the genre you're intending? if it's a romance, then that would be the focus and you could include how abhay processes the memories and how he finally tells shubman, if he does
again, taking inspiration from om shanthi om, is there some unfinished business in their past? did they die in mysterious circumstances, or is there someone who needs to get their comeuppance? if that's the case, maybe abhay and shub can team up to solve it and grow closer during it
how in depth are you going to elaborate on the flashbacks? are you keeping them as the bits and pieces that abhay sees, or will you lay out the entire puzzle in order once abhi has seen everything?
are you including shubman's pov in this? what does he think is happening? what does he do about it? exploring his emotions and helplessness because his friend refusing the doctors might be fun
how does abhi realize this is a past life and that he's not going crazy? does he feel it instinctively, or does he do his research? does he meet anyone else with similar experiences that can guide him?
okay, maybe that's enough 😆 I'm talking too much. but I'll leave you with two more things:
in case you haven't thought of when the flashbacks take place, like what time period they used to be lovers, i have an idea that I've put away that you might be interested in, so just let me know
I've written a reincarnation fic before, for the ponniyin selvan fandom, called blue: be. I'm only linking it here in case it gives you any inspiration, i don't expect that you're actually a part of the fandom (unless you are, in which case, great!)
if this is what just pops into your head, i wonder how great the ideas you actually think about would be! hope you find more inspiration, and I'm all ears to listen ✨
