country music inspired plots
aka give me all of these right the fuck now. trigger warnings for alcoholism and cheating. nearly all of these are previously established relationship. some plots are best with 3 characters. all songs are linked.
Break Up in a Small Town: Characters A and B were high school sweethearts in a small town, but eventually broke up, both of them remaining in the same small town. It’s hard enough to try to get over one another, but when Character A starts dating Character C, one of Character B’s friends, it’s even harder to keep going when every time Character B leaves the house, they see the happy new couple.
Ex to See: Flings are all good and fun until Character A discovers the only reason Character B is being so affectionate is to try to make Character C jealous. Suddenly everything begins to make sense as Character B jumps into their lap and kisses them as soon as Character C walks in. Lucky for Character B, Character A is more than happy going along for the ride.
Drinking Too Much (alcoholism warning): Characters A and B were in a loving relationship just as Character A’s music career started to take off. Due to the stress of the industry and general disagreements, the pair breaks up and Character A releases an album titled with their Hometown about their relationship. Character B, infuriated at the breach in privacy, goes to confront Character A only to find that fame and fortune wasn’t enough to keep Character A happy and they’ve begun to drink heavily to cope with their loneliness.
I’ll Be the Moon (cheating warning): Trapped in an unhealthy relationship, Character A resorts to cheating on Character B with Character C to fill the void in their life and try to pretend that everything is still okay. Character A finds themselves falling deeper and deeper in love with Character C despite the life they’ve built with Character B. Meanwhile, Character C knows what they’re doing is wrong, but they’re desperate to spend whatever time they can with Character A, even at the expense of their own happiness.
Sleep Without You: Fluff thread in which Character A begins to realize how much of an impact Character B has had on their life - particularly the fact that they can’t fall asleep without a good night kiss.
Getting Over You / Any Ol’ Barstool / Anything Goes (alcoholism warning): After a relationship ends, Character A begins to take it noticably harder than Character B, though they try their best to keep Character B from knowing. But it becomes plain for anyone to see that Character A has taken to drinking and one night stands and sleepless nights after the way things were left.
Hurricane: After a breakup, Characters A and B have been avoiding their mutual favorite hang outs in an attempt to avoid an unwanted confrontation. After being dragged out by their friends, the two accidentally see one another, and instead of blowing up as they thought they would, the pair sneak off to go back to the other’s apartment.
Consider Me Gone: Despite years together, discontent fills Character A and B’s relationship. Character B has become more and more aloof, no longer showing an interest in Character A’s life, treating them more like furniture than a partner. Tired of not feeling loved, Character A gives an ultimatum: ‘if you think you can do better than this, consider me gone.’
Colder Weather (contains g*psy slur): Character A works a job that requires them to be gone for long periods of time, and Character B has made themselves okay with the fact, but Character A begins leaving for longer and longer stretches of time, and Character B begins to feel more and more alone. Finally, they’re forced to confront the idea that Character A would never be happy living in one place.
Body Like a Backroad (can be nsfw): Overly indulgent smut thread of the characters being familiar with one another’s bodies and likes and dislikes after spending years together.
She Wouldn’t Be Gone: Character A and B had been having problems for a while now, mostly because of Character B’s lack of attention and affection, but Character A finally had enough. Character A leaves, and Character B goes frantic trying to find them, driving all over town and going everywhere, desperate to prove they still want their relationship, praying that Character A is willing to forgive them after their hundredth chance.
Blue Ain’t Your Color / She Won’t Be Lonely Long: Character A sees Character B, a total stranger, late at night at a bar. Character B is going through problems in their relationship to Character C and had gone out to ‘hold a stranger, but not the one at home.’ Character A approaches, quick to assure the they aren’t just trying to pick them up and get in bed with them, but rather expressing concern that they’d stay with anyone who ‘took their fire and turned it ice cold.’
