Before you click into this post to read the oodles and oodles of ideas that I have, I feel it's only fair that I mention that my full-time job and family responsibilities pretty much make it impossible for me to boomerang tag anymore. I'll be slow, but I'll backtag into forever. If you're still interested,

andtheswan would give her right arm for a Graham for plotty purposes. Or, her own prince, that'd be lovely too. Also, she is available in fairy tale land form or Storybrooke form for interaction with any OUAT canon muse or OC.

Being a history buff, I have been reading about Sophia Dorothea of Celle, who, although married to the man who would become King George I of Great Britain, had a longstanding and torrid affair with a Swedish count, who inevitably ends up dead, the princess locked away for thirty years until her death. Long story short, I'd like to play something like that out using my princess here. An arranged marriage that leaves her unhappy, unwanted, and untouched. This man sweeps into court and into her life, and steals her heart. It's a friendship at first, but it turns into more, and even though they are parted for long stretches of time, they keep coming together. Not sure if I want to play out the whole death thing, but I am a big fan of angst and longing.

asyoufindme is looking for a fellow teacher at his school, or a single parent with a child in his class for a sort of friendship with a slow burn into romance. (got_to_give is my female version of Matt. The same plotline wish applies for her.) They would both also like an old Air Force buddy to come back into the picture, and the friendship turning into more.

bestintention is looking for an assistant Photography teacher who she's had a crush on for years. Now that she's not in any of the classes he assists in, she wants to attempt to turn a slightly awkward friendship into something better.

For Maddie, I've had the idea of an AU-verse where she's an FBI agent tracking down the hitman son of a notorious mobster. I'm super into the idea of a sting operation where she's meant to get closer to him in order to gather evidence, and falling deeper and deeper into these growing feelings, and the cat and mouse game between them, and being torn between her job and him. I actually ... have a few posts about this on my Tumblr? I'd love, love, love the PB for this one being Jamie Dornan. I don't know, but I think they're gorgeous together.

built_to_do is a guardian angel who is sweet and shy and sort of clumsy. I'd like her to develop a bond with the person that she's sent to watch over, which eventually turns into love.

crumbling_down - Louise has just recently moved to the city in an attempt to live her life, rather than being trapped by her chronic pain. Some days, she's up for adventuring, and some days, she can't leave her bed. So, I'd love a roommate or a caregiver for her, with JGL's pretty face. A bond is easy to form when taking care of someone, and I'd love that sort of sweet, slow romance.

good_at_heart is looking for the suitor out of all the men her father parades in front of her that she actually becomes friends with, and slowly falls in love with. Or, the tutor that she develops feelings for after years of being in each other's presence constantly. I've got this idea that it finally becomes too much to bear having to watch her meet potential suitors on a nearly constant basis, and the big reveal of his feelings to both her and her father. I'd love this muse to be Benedict Cumberbatch shaped, but that's not a necessity. Or, you know, any period muses at all. From medieval to Victorian, we can make it work.

have_compassion is looking for a doctor, another nurse, or a patient for shippy purposes.

helpmefeel is an agoraphobic book reviewer. I'd definitely love an online penpal / romance thing with the potential for meetings and more.

into_days is a prince looking for damsels in distress to save. Or, you know, damsels to save him from distress. (chose_my_path is the female version of Matthew. She'd love a romance with a Prince / Princess or Knight from another land - perhaps a forbidden romance type thing.)

listenwritelive is looking for an agent/editor who starts out bossy and demanding but soon attempts to help her get over her writer's block, and offer her a shoulder to cry on, as well as inspiration.

nvrbelieveagain is looking for a snarky, sassy, and sweet assistant to help him run his shop.

savedmysanity is looking for another reporter at his paper, perhaps working as a food critic, not living up to their potential just as he isn't, for commiseration and understanding of his frustration. Friendship with definite possibility for more.

swanssong in both Fairy Tale Land and Storybrooke, is very adamant that she doesn't need nor want a man to be happy. Mostly, she's just afraid of heartbreak. An older Henry would be great, but we're not averse to existing characters or anyone you'd be willing to throw at us.

thislastrequest has recently graduated from graduate school, and got her first counseling job at an elementary school. She is looking for a coworker who turns into her best friend and closest confidante. When her feelings are realized, she'll struggle with the question of actually admitting them, because she doesn't want to lose the best thing in her life. Or an online / penpal sort of situation that turns into more.

to_keep_living wouldn't mind a patron of his little bookshop to show some interest and not mind working hard to help him overcome his fear of loss.

to_look_back is a single father of a two year old daughter. He's serious and a bit shy and very hesitant to get involved with anyone after his daughter's mother left when the baby was two months old. He really just needs someone to bring him out of his shell, and to teach him to trust again. This could also be played out with start_from_now, who is very pregnant and recently divorced.

Evan would also love for the mother of his daughter to come back into the picture. I had a specific idea for her face, and her name - Chelsea Swanson, played by Holliday Grainger. My headcanon for Evan is that he and Chelsea had been dating for years, just moved in together when she learned that she was pregnant. It was a difficult pregnancy, but when Miranda was born, Evan thought things would get easier. Two months afterward, Chelsea left, not sure that the life of a mother was the life for her. I'd like it if she came back, promising that things would be different, and they would slowly find their way back to each other, not without ups and downs, and learning how to trust again.

I also have other muses who aren't looking for particular storylines like the ones above. They're on the muselist I linked at the beginning of the post. If any of them strike your fancy, I am more than happy to bring them out to play.

And now, to the plotty things! And forgive how short the descriptions are. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

* One partner is dead, but is so in love with their SO, they refuse to leave them.

* When a simple kiss tells you all you need to know. (I’m hoping for maybe, possibly, hopefully a OUAT character for this one)

* Trapped on a desert island together - the way that feelings evolve.

* SO dies, organ transplant, the recipient wants to find who authorized it to say thank you, maybe feelings grow from there.

* relationship on the verge of collapse. The desperation they feel as they try to fix it before it’s too late.

* thought a breakup was the right thing to do, but as it turns out, they’re lost without each other, how they find their way back into love.

(The previous two can be worked into one.)

* Invisible - Only one person can hear him/her, not see.

* They only place they can meet is in dreams.

* Childhood friends grow up, and slowly realize they want more.

* Amnesia

If you've managed to make it to this point, you deserve a cookie! If any of the muses, plotlines, or ideas strike your fancy, please feel free to message me. Thanks for reading!

OH HI! First happy birthday! Second I would love to have Abs and Eric to muse together again if your were interested, and I could consider some of your ideas if you wanted to. Looking at your meeting in dream idea I could imagine Eric shrinking into Abs brain so he can join her in her dreams.

Also right now I have Lockheed as my secondary muse - kittysdragon - and I'm interested in maybe doing a reverse princess situation where the princess falls in love with the dragon who is a hero against the evil knight types. So any suitably princess types you have I could use that idea with, maybe?

[thislastrequest]

Thank you!

I am always interested in playing with Eric, but I'm not sure I want him in her brain? That's sort of not where I was going with that. But I suppose it's worth a try if you really wanted to.

And I don't know if I feel comfortable shipping my girls against a character that is not human, or human-like. That's not to say that they wouldn't appreciate being rescued from danger, just that friendship is probably the only thing that'd happen in return.

[irredeemed_ant]

No problem, hope you had a nice day! :)

Sure thing, I only suggested it as a logical, if likely inplausible, way of going into her dreams if that was what you were suggesting, but possibly not. So I'm easy either way? I can imagine maybe he's been on a couple of big missions since they were last together to explain any development Abs might have had if you wanted to add some?

That's absolutely fine, I always debate whether I should be trying shipping with Lockheed as it happens. Clearly he's sentinent so it's not especially beastial to have him dating and such, but clearly it brings up the awkward questions of scale and shape and alien origins which makes a relationship with anyone tricky, though I have had one or two pairings with him created. But if you were interested in a frienship relationship that's fine, no pressure on your part. :)

[thislastrequest]

Well, I had it off of work, so I guess that's something. Especially considering the last month and a half has been so busy I've come home too exhausted to do much else other than fall into bed.

I'll be happy to play with Eric no matter what scenario they end up playing. The only thing that's happened in her life that would come into play is her graduation from graduate school. She's been hired on as a counselor at an elementary school.

I'd definitely prefer a more human-shaped partner to ship with my girls. But, like I said, I'm always on the lookout for friends. With the trouble that they all tend to get into, they can definitely use assistance from time to time.

[irredeemed_ant]

Ugh, that sucks. Right now I'm still job hunting and that can be almost as stressful when you have to balance the short term and longer term stuff. Got a interview on Mon for a nice job though so you never know!

Sounds fine to me, we can just pick up pretty easily with Eric and Abbie then. I'm happy to stick with the idea that they've moved in together and he's still working as a super hero and helping her out where he can, maybe visiting her at the school.

Lockheed makes a great friend character so sure thing! He's quite the brave type so he would always help and protect those who were in trouble.

[thislastrequest]

It is frustrating when all I want to do is sit and play, and can't manage enough brain power to do so, but I've done enough job searching in my life to know how tough it can be, too. I hope your interview went well!

That is completely fine by me. I haven't put her into any memes recently, mostly because of how backlogged I am, but if there's one that you really want to play, just give me a holler.

The same with the other girls. I'm sure we'll find a place to play them.

[irredeemed_ant]

Yeah I can relate, life's getting too busy to always reply to stuff when you want and finding a few hours to do so gets increasingly tough. Right now I'm sticking to my two main muses so I don't get too swamped in. And yes it did, I got the job so YAY! 30 Hours a week too so not bad.

Sure thing, if I see one where I think Eric and Abs would work well I'll let you know. Same with the other girls. Hope things get a little less hectic for you! :)

[thislastrequest]

It really is. So, I'm not a boomerang tagger anymore, but I'll do my best to backtag into forever. Some days are easier to find time, and sometimes I have to let things sit, but I eventually get back to everything.

Super happy to hear that you got the job!

Definitely do that. I mirrored my musebox over here, too, so that's available for play anytime: http://betterthandreams.dreamwidth.org/profile

[irredeemed_ant]

There's nothing wrong with backtagging or even finishing when a thread feels about done, far as I think, though in the latter case it's probably best to let the other threader know.

Aw thanks, I start tomorrow with two induction days, very excited, and it's in a museum so I'm finally in my favourite sector!

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind.

[thislastrequest]

I certainly try to let new taggers know - some who've stayed with me for a while are aware that sometimes, more often than not, there's probably going to be a little wait for a tag back.

That sounds great, and it's what you want to be doing, and that's even better. :0D

[irredeemed_ant]

That's a good system, I'm glad it works for you.

Thanks, the two days went well and I should be getting about 30 hours of work a week over 5 days up to at least November, which is pretty awesome.
