☁️ — plots inspired by you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love by olivia rodrigo
muse a and muse b dated for years before they separated in an ugly breakup. a couple months later, they're forced back into each other's vicinity whether it's their mutual friend group, parties, or a town that feels too small. neither has moved on. they use every interaction trying to prove they're happier without the other, only to realize the anger they're harboring is grief in a different outfit.
muse a is a musician who writes a heartbreak song that unexpectedly becomes a viral hit. the problem is everyone knows it's about muse b. when the song starts playing everywhere - from grocery stores to wedding playlists, muse b is forced to relive their relationship through lyrics that are only half true. the public thinks they know the story, but muse b knows they don't.
it's funny how two people keep finding each other throughout their lives. summer camp at thirteen, then college at twenty. a chance encounter in another country at twenty-six. every time muse a and muse b meet, the connection is instantaneous, but circumstances always find a way to pull them apart. upon years of near-misses and unfinished conversations, they wonder whether fate is real or if they're just incapable of letting each other go.
over the years, muse a has always been the one to swoop in and help muse b whenever they need saving. not because muse b asked them to, but because loving them became tangled up with rescuing them. eventually muse b reaches a breaking point and asks a devastating question: if all the damage disappeared tomorrow, would muse a still know who they are without being needed?
even though they're still in love, muse a ends the relationship. muse b refuses to accept it. what begins as desperate attempts to reconcile slowly turns into a painful examination of why they failed in the first place. every late-night phone call and moment of weakness keeps reopening the wound. potential twist: years later, after finally moving on with other people, they find each other and discover they've become the people the other needed all along.
muse a and muse b have been together for ages, and on paper, they're happy - but in reality, they've been gradually shrinking themselves to keep the relationship alive. a lack of passion, honesty, fighting. the story starts when one of them realizes they can no longer remember who they were before they started making themselves smaller for the sake of being loved.
