( ░ ❛ age difference plots → wishlist
requested by anon. i’ve only put plots where both muses are of age and the older muse is not in a position of power over the younger because those kind of plots do not sit well with me.
muse a will be the younger one while muse b will be older.
muse a has run away from a toxic environment (family or relationship), just got in the car and didn’t stop until they ran out of gas in the middle of bloody nowhere. enter muse b who is the only person within ten miles and lives on their family farm alone. so muse a turns up in the middle of a storm because they got tired of waiting in the car for someone to find them. muse b lets them in and the two talk but muse b has to explain they don’t get another fuel delivery for a little while but that muse a is welcome to stay. so time passes feelings getting involved, lines blur and things get confusing because muse b is getting used to company and doesn’t want muse a to leave but muse a is preparing to leave as soon as the fuel delivery arrives not wanting to impose any longer but also doesn’t really want to leave.
when all but three of muse a’s students transfer class the day before term starts muse a is undeniably pissed and has to check out this other professor. standing at the back of the lecture hall when muse b walks in muse a suddenly thinks they know why their students transferred. meanwhile, muse b thinks that the student that had been at the back of their class is cocky but intelligent. cue misunderstandings and angst as muse a tries to flirt while muse b doesn’t know want to because they think muse a is a student.
muse a is an astronomer, who’s been in love with the moon for years and muse b is an incarnation of a lunar deity (take your pick) who has fallen in love with the mortal that gazes at them every night so comes to earth. cue muse a freaking out about the idea that muse b would find them, a middle age loner, attractive while muse b tries to calm them down because hey they’ve been around for centuries.
