I have other muses who aren't looking for particular storylines like the ones below. If any of them strike your fancy, I am more than happy to bring them out to play. :0D

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.

I'd love to play this out with chose_my_path, but andtheswan is available for this particular plot, too.

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.

for_the_evening - The patron that hires her often, whose dates turn from sex to dates, who she doesn't want to admit that she's in love with. Plenty of angst potential simply because of the job that she does, and the wanting her to quit, or jealousy when it comes to the other patrons that she is hired by. Or, conversely, someone that she meets while she's Olivia, and not her escort alter ego, who she begins to see outside of work. Plenty of angst potential after they find out what it is that she does for a living. Also, the jealousy angle would work here, too.

good_at_heart is looking for the tutor that she develops feelings for after years of being in each other's presence constantly. I had the idea that she forges a friendship with her tutor, and they sort of bond over books, and their shared love of reading, and while there are feelings that crop up for the both of them, it's not very proper for a man in his position to court a woman in hers. He's afraid of losing her to one of the tons of suitors her father is throwing at her, but still, they never share what it is that they're feeling, they just continue to live in this limbo of longing, and sexual tension, which slowly gets all the more intense until finally, he can't take it anymore, and he insists on a meeting with her father, where he tells him everything that he feels, that he loves her, that he might not be a rich man, but he'd treat her right, and that he wasn't leaving without her come hell or high water, and maybe it doesn't happen right away, or maybe they run away together, or maybe they actually are able to be together and get married, but obviously there'll be a happy ending in there somewhere, and ... yes. I'd love this muse to be Benedict Cumberbatch shaped, but that's not a necessity.

Also, I'd really love a slow burn romance with the man that she's made to marry. At first, maybe they're both uncomfortable and aloof, but they find some sort of common ground, which leads to innuendo, and stolen moments, touching, kissing, missed opportunities, and a whole lot of UST.

Or, you know, any period muses at all. From medieval to Victorian, we can make it work. I'm a sucker for a forbidden romance, so whether she falls for someone above or below her station, I'm game.

I'd love, love, love a courtesan verse for Amelia, Margaret or Meredith. Sold into service at a high class brothel, they've spent years entertaining all sorts of patrons, never expecting to meet someone that they actually care about. Maybe she has a patron that returns time after time, and although she is reluctant to admit that she has fond feelings for him, eventually does. I am absolutely a sucker for a forbidden romance, and if this doesn't qualify, I don't know what will. I have so many horrible ideas of the hurt I can inflict in this verse, but ultimately, I would love for them to have a happy ending.

got_to_give is currently fostering a little girl with the intention to adopt, and I imagine that she takes her foster daughter to as many activities as possible, so maybe she becomes friendly with and gets close to one of those teachers. I'm definitely looking for this muse to be played by Sam Heughan. There aren't many, if at all modern icons with this dude's face, and I've looked just about everywhere. (Found these, though, and I am pretty obsessed with that dumb Hallmark movie, and uh ... )

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. While we would absolutely love Ian Harding as PB for this character, as always, it's up for negotiation.

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. He's also a recovering alcoholic, so I'm more than up for him meeting someone while in the midst of a relapse, or something like that.

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. James also wouldn't mind having his childhood friend come back into the picture, helping him heal in more ways than one. We would love Emilia Clarke as the PB for this character. As always, open to negotiation. And, just because I'm not a complete sadist when it comes to my muses, a Valerie, in the times before the accident. Or, fuck, maybe I am a sadist, because I wouldn't mind her coming back as a guardian angel to watch over him. For Val, I'd love to see the lovely face of Rose Leslie.

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.

And now, for the general ideas -

* 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

* Guardian angel who falls in love with their charge.
