muse a, barely into their twenties, is the fashion industry’s latest obsession—gracing magazine covers, walking exclusive runways, and living in a whirlwind of lights, lenses, and loneliness. muse b, a powerful figure in the corporate world with decades of influence under their belt, isn’t in the habit of chasing attention—until they see muse a at a charity gala, laughing too loud, eyes too sad. their connection begins with a conversation that feels more like a dare, a shared drink, a mutual understanding of what it means to be seen and owned by the world. muse b offers stability in exchange for companionship; muse a offers beauty and danger in equal measure. but as their lives become entangled in quiet hotel suites, luxury gifts, and late-night phone calls no one’s supposed to know about, neither can tell who’s using who—or who’s actually starting to care.

plots inspired by (in my opinion) the best cowboy romance books by lyla sage:

done and dusted (small town, cowboy romance, slow burn, brother’s best friend, found family, enemies to friends to lovers.)

after an injury ends their rodeo career, muse a returns to the small hometown they ran from years ago—broke, bruised, and desperate to avoid everyone, especially muse b: their older brother’s best friend and the cocky cowboy who once made teasing an art form. now running the local ranch, muse b offers muse a a job out of obligation—or so he says. but the more time they spend together, the more their old rivalry shifts: bickering turns into banter, tension into trust. beneath the sarcasm, muse a, scattered and sharp, starts to feel grounded again. and muse b, steady and sure, finds himself drawn to every messy, brilliant part of them.

swift and saddled (city girl x country boy, black cat x golden retriever, found family, forced proximity)

after a messy divorce and failing out of design school, muse a rebuilt their life brick by brick. no more relying on anyone else—just hard work, late nights, and a business finally taking off. landing a dream project on a massive ranch feels like the start of a new chapter. until muse b walks in. the flirty stranger from the bar. the one-night fantasy muse a swore she’d never see again. now? he’s her boss. muse b, charming and sunshine-soft under all that cowboy grit, is thrilled. muse a? determined to keep things strictly professional. but forced proximity, shared late nights, and a slowly growing bond with muse b’s found family chip away at her walls. as the ranch transforms, so does the space between them—until muse a has to decide if trusting someone again is a risk worth taking.

lost and lassoed (enemies to lovers, forced proximity, small town, cowboy, age gap, slow burn, small town, single parent)

muse a isn’t sure where her life is headed. her friends are settling down, her favorite jacket’s falling apart, and the small-town charm she’s always loved suddenly feels… stuck. so when the chance to help out on a local ranch pops up, she grabs it—hoping a change of pace might bring some clarity. what she doesn’t expect? muse b. the grumpy cowboy, single dad, and her best friend’s older brother—the same one she’s traded barbed words and eye rolls with since forever. with his kid home for the summer and the ranch stretched thin, muse b has no choice but to accept her help. forced into close quarters, their bickering turns into something else—heated glances, stolen moments, a chemistry neither of them can deny. as the summer deepens, so do their feelings—but old habits, age gaps, and stubborn pride threaten to pull them apart before either one is ready to admit what’s really happening between them.

wild and wrangled (small town, second chance, single mum)

muse a thought she had it all figured out—a marriage of convenience to build a stable life for her daughter, quiet the judgment of her wealthy parents, and finally claim a place of her own in her beloved small town. but when she's left at the altar, her perfect plan crumbles. with nowhere to go, she moves into her dream rental… only to find muse b living next door. the same muse b who broke her heart nearly a decade ago. the same first love who disappeared without warning. back in town and determined to prove he can stay this time, muse b offers nothing but friendship. but proximity brings old memories crashing back—inside jokes, unfinished conversations, and a connection that still simmers beneath the surface. as shared history collides with messy present-day feelings, muse a and muse b must face the past if they want a shot at forever. because sometimes, love comes back when you least expect it—and this time, it might be here to stay.

friends with benefits but are they even friends?

-> a proper “I cannot stand you unless you’re underneath me so drunk off of my cock that all you can say is my name” mutual coexistence. Friend of a mutual friend where they are constantly forced to be in the same room, same party, same dinner and absolutely despite one another but sneak off into a bathroom to fuck or always end up going home with each other. And you can bet that by morning they’re back to argument and ripping each others heads off.

Some days ago, this post by @triforce-of-mischief circulated about the most and least popular platonic Ao3 fanfic pairings of each Link in the chain.

I got curious so I decided to make some ugly excel plots furthering it. The numbers have changed since then, but the general patterns did not.

As time of this post (sep 23, 2025) these are the numbers for the different platonic pairings in the Linked Universe - jojo56830 (Webcomic) fandom tag. Probably as I redact this post, they will change, but oh well.

The matrix is symmetric because I took Legend & Hyrule to be the same as Hyrule & Legend. In fact there is only one tag for this pairing (Hyrule & Legend). This means you don't need to look at the whole matrix, just take the upper or lower side of the diagonal, and that's all the information you need.

And talking about diagonal, I decided to use the Character & Character pair to mean Character-centric (if I used the character tag as it is, the numbers would have sky-rocketed). So, in this case if you look Sky and Sky, you get 266 Sky-centric fanfics.

That said, let's look at the numbers! In green we have the pairs with more fanfics written, and in red the less. Twilight and Wild are the most popular with 717, and Warriors and Four the least with 61. Write more about these two, people!!

Something we already knew was that in general Four is in urgent need of more fanfics in which he talks to other people other than himself. Look at the poor little guy, his row and column are basically red. Hyrule is really close behind, his strong interactions with Legend is the only thing that is helping him, but he probably needs more friends.

Unsurprisingly, Legend and Wild are the two most popular, full of white and green. Legend is slightly greener because he has canonicaly wore more green than Wild, he has a lot of character-centric fanfics in which I assume people love to make him suffer, either for giggles and kicks, or for angst. But that's Legend's fault, he is so whumpable and his ridiculous curriculum and playful, arrogant personality makes him an easy target.

I also made this bar char, because I can:

Nothing remarkable except that it's a bit more obvious how much people love the Wild & Twilight pair.

I also like this visualization because in almost every pairing, Four is the shortest bar, and I find that poetic.

And that's all, hope anyone finds this inspiring enough to write more Four :) I really need to get back to work.

--

Edit: I made a mistake. Wild has much more Wild-centric fanfics that I originally counted (I mixed it with Wind's count). Both Legend and Wild are closer in numbers, and the only reason Legend wins is because he gets along better with Four and Hyrule.

plot / trope ideas. ─── sexual content below ⟢

・ the loser nerd that hasn’t lost their virginity but decides for their bucket list; they want to lose their virginity. at a party, they come up to the popular frat boy and begs them to take their virginity.

・ cowboy boots near your bed was not what you planned for that night. you’ve heard stories about the cowboy. he’s a troublemaker outlaw, he’s killed people, not a man you wanna trust. everythin’ they said didn’t matter when you two were speaking at the bar, he was a total different person. one thing let to another, and you both ended up hooking up. you didn’t plan on getting pregnant, especially by someone who never stayed put in one place.

・ the city model recently transitioned into the rancher life, but her attitude and class didn’t. she’s still wearing her skimpy dresses, tiny skirt that hike up her thighs, heels that force people to carry her around to solid grounds. she lived the princess treatment stereotype, but it wasn’t until her parents left her alone with another rancher to watch her that the attitude changed. he didn’t pick her up, didn’t make her mandatory drink or food for the day, he forced her to do it all herself. she hated him, and he didn’t care.

・ he’s mean, he knows it. he makes it up to you constantly through: sex, food, gifts. but after one argument, you told him to get out, and spend the night in a hotel. when driving back to the house around 2 o’clock in the morning, he texted you he was on the way and you told him to stay put in the car through messages. a couple minutes later, he received a call of his needy girlfriend apologizing while fingering herself

・ she used to play dolls with him, used to play in the dirt with him, he used to pick on her with her brother, for christ sake. he’s not hot. he’s off limits..right? it’s the alcohol talking.

・ she almost cheats on him at the club, he saw it. all because he said he hated her in an argument, now the only way he can redeem himself is making love to her.

・ he’s getting back from the military and she’s being surprised. . .
