â holiday plots for all your shipping needs â
â muse a is sick of their family making fun of them and saying that theyâre going to end up with 28 cats someday at every family gathering theyâve ever attended. enter muse b, a charismatic (and sometimes flirty) coworker who muse a pays to be their âdateâ for the holidays optional: âoops, i just kissed you in front of my family because they were pestering us and iâm not sure if you felt what i did, but wowâ
â muse a is throwing a christmas party and now itâs almost 4 am and the music still hasnât stopped and, frankly, muse b is over it
â muse a slips and falls on a patch of ice on their way to buy some egg nog & cookie dough and thinks their wrist might be broken. muse b happens to be walking by as this happens and initially laughs at muse a for being so clumsy before realizing it might be serious and now theyâre the asshole who laughed at a hurt person
â muse aâs car breaks down in a small town theyâre passing through to get to their parentsâ house for thanksgiving/christmas dinner. muse b works in the restaurant right down the street that muse a happens to walk into to borrow a phone, but comes to find out that thereâs no mechanic doing business this late at night/this close to the holidays, but muse b offers to help (could offer to fix the car/drive muse a to their parentsâ itâs really up to you)
â muse a and muse b are in the same friend group and everyone has been trying to get them together for months. cue the christmas party where the two are - quite literally - shoved under an arch with mistletoe hanging over them
â muse a and muse b are coworkers who never really got along, but at the office holiday party they both get a little too drunk and end up in the same bed the next morning
â muse a doesnât have a significant other to kiss at midnight, as usual. new yearâs comes along and they decide to all go downtown and barhop for the night. when the countdown rolls around, muse a still has no one, until muse b grabs them and kisses them as the clock hits 12. optional: they never exchange names or numbers, but muse a goes back to that same bar the following new yearâs with the hopes that muse b maybe wanted to see them again, too
â muse a has always been attracted to their coworker, muse b, that much is clear to most everyone who works there. when theyâre the only people assigned to work christmas eve and only have three customers the whole shift, they realize just how much they have in common optional: or donât have in common
