plot bunnies/au’s based on echosmith songs
T E R M I N A L: muse a needs to get out. all their life they’ve stayed in the same small house in the same small town and they’ve grown tired. so with their life-savings, they leave the state to go on an adventure. wherever their finger lands on the map is where they’ll travel to next. muse b is of close relation (sibling, cousin, best-friend, etc) and muse a’s parents trust them. the parents ask muse b to return muse a home, but when they try, they’re suddenly dragged along for the trip
B R I G H T : muse a and muse b were both reluctant to go to camp during the summer. it seemed like a waste of time and an excuse for their parents to go on a vacation without them. but when they meet each other, it’s hard to leave when the whole thing is over. now, on opposite sides of the state/country, both muse a and muse b are trying to make the most of their long distance friendship/relationship
M A R C H I N T O T H E S U N : the apocalypse has set in earlier than anyone would have thought. the day it does, both muse a and muse b are separated from their families and thrown together by some strange act of fate. now, they must survive together, having never met each other before. and teamwork is the only thing that can keep them alive.
C O M E W I T H M E : muse a has never felt at home living in their home. between the fights and the yelling, there’s not a second of rest. when they meet muse b, a kid in a bad running foster home, both have similar ideas. now on the run with their guardians tracking after them, the two have to live in the shadows, but neither has ever felt so alive.
N O T H I N G W R O N G : muse a looks at the world from an ever-pessimistic point of view. not many people approach them because of their silence. muse b feels the same about the world, but puts up a front of liveliness for their friends. when muse b first approached muse a (for a group project, dare, etc), they’re both surprised at how much they have in common. with each other, they find that the world doesn’t feel so hopeless
W E ’R E N O T A L O N E : muse a and muse b have lived together for as long as they can remember (siblings, cousins, friends, etc), and for as long as they can remember, their parents have been fighting. when talk sprouts up stating muse b might be the problem of the household, muse a promptly disagrees. in defiance of their statement, muse a takes muse b before any eviction can happen and attempt to find a new living arrangement.
C O O L K I D S : muse a has always fit into the popular crowd, despite their humble beginnings. muse b, to say the least, has not. muse b doesn’t mind this particularly, but when an old friend (muse a) begins antagonizing them, they’re determined to change opinions just to prove them wrong. with a whole movie makeover and some turncoat lackeys, muse b tries to tear away muse a’s power over the school.
T E L L H E R Y O U L O V E H E R : muse a lives with their grandparents, but they’ve learned all of their relationship skills from their parents. because of this horrible example set, their significant other, muse b, has been treated terribly. when one of muse a’s grandparents suddenly falls to their death bed, they give their grandchild a booklet. this tells them of their observation of the relationship and all the wrong that had been done. muse a is determined to follow their grandparents words and change all the wrongs done
