Story Prompt 38

In a small town where the sunsets painted the sky in hues of orange and pink, there lived an ambitious soul ready to face a formidable opponent - math homework. Our protagonist, armed with determination and a pencil, stared down the menacing equations on the crumpled sheets.

The room was silent except for the occasional tap of the pencil on the desk. It was a battlefield, and our hero, with a furrowed brow, was ready for the fight. The numbers on the paper seemed to mock, but our protagonist had a steely resolve.

As the night progressed, frustration turned into whispered negotiations with the stubborn math problems. "Come on, you can't be that difficult," muttered our hero, as if trying to reason with the elusive solutions.

Suddenly, the window creaked open, letting in a gentle breeze. A mysterious figure, clad in the shadows, appeared. "Need a hand with those tricky numbers?" the enigmatic stranger offered, a mischievous glint in their eye.

Our protagonist, cautious yet curious, nodded. The stranger took a seat, and with a flair for the dramatic, began explaining math concepts in a way that made them sound like the plot twists of a gripping novel.

anna wants. a.k.a. plot wishlist.

So, whenever I have ideas for plots, the plan is that I’ll add them to this list and there will just be this big masterlist of things you’ll always know I’m down for.

Without further ado...

AUSTIN

cute threads with people who come in to the vet office regularly with the pets please.

DANICA

Just a small town girl. living in a LOOOOOONELYYYYY world. I kinda want Dani to have someone she’s got a lot in common with. A small town girl who moved to L.A. to make it big in show business. They can encourage each other, commiserate, be best friends or maybe something more. and we can always angst it up when one day they go in for the same part thinking neither will get it but one of them does. The hurt, the anger, the ‘Why can’t you just be happy for me?’, the ‘You knew how much I needed this and you took it away from me!’. Will they survive?

FAITH

I’m a hard core sucker for student / teacher plots, either as one of her college professors or as a teacher’s assistant. but not all sexual tension and teasing each other in class. instead it’s faith failing her classes and showing up hungover when she manages to show up at all. and they’re concerned for her and for her well being. so they start helping her with her studies and actually caring about her, and it feels nice because it’s the first time in a while anyone’s done that. then one night they end up kissing. and faith thinks she initiated it and that she’s screwed up the one healthy thing in her life, and he thinks he started it and he broke her trust by coming onto her. and ugh.

HANNAH

corrupt my poor child. she’s led a sheltered life and she needs to start living.

JOSHUA

a ‘I just got back from college / travelling the world / insert reason here and you haven’t changed at all and maybe I missed that’. Josh is the kind of guy who’s not going anywhere any time soon, and he’s probably missed out on a few relationships because of that. So someone coming back into town and like... stopping in the autoshop and not realizing he might still be there. or going back to their old hangout spot and maybe it’s not empty like they thought it would be.

KAYLYN

she mostly needs friends and help dealing with her current life situation. someone to be a shoulder to lean on. platonic plots only please.

NATALIE

someone who wants to be a writer who she can impart her wisdom on. it would be glorious.

LAUREN

rich clients, all the way.

bad guy clients. maybe she gets mixed up with the wrong sort of people and they threaten her daughter if she doesn’t help and keep her mouth shut.

MELINDA

deep undercover, close relationships, bad juju. and then the falling apart when the job is done and she goes back to her old life.

PAUL

So, I want this thing. Where. A woman who works in Paul’s building, doesn’t entirely matter where as long as it’s not close to him. [ Getting to know him before her devious scheme would kinda defeat it, ha. ] ANYWHO. Maybe she works as one of the company’s lawyers, or a PR girl, or something. But they meet one night at a company event and they hit it off well enough. She thinks he’s easy on the eyes and just socially inept enough that maybe... so she pursues him because he’s a billionaire workaholic and if she lands him then she’ll be set for life kind of thing. so she plays right into his hands, and she plays right into his overly involved in his love life mother’s hands. She thinks she has it all worked out, being what they both want. But in the midst of that, she starts getting to know him and maybe he’s not as stoic and cut-off as he seems. Maybe he’s a little bit sweet, and funny, and maybe his social graces are only polished in business situations but that’s what she starts to like about him. But she’s still got his mother on her back and if she tells the truth it’s all over... idk, maybe this isn’t explained too great. but it’ll be a lot of angst and fancy dinners and just... pls.

Another thing I would love for Paul is the ‘they don’t know I’m a billionaire’ cliche. Maybe it’s a girl who’s seen him fight in the underground ring a few times and she thinks he’s cute, but one day he gets pretty hurt and she sees him struggling out to his car and offers to take him back to her place which is just a block or two away. they end up liking each other and after fights he starts heading back to her house instead of his own. but she doesn’t know who he really is, and he’s not gonna tell her because this side of him is a secret from everyone in his “real” life. he’ll have increasing guilt because she’s sharing what little she has with him, and the further she presses him about the rest of his life, the tighter his lips seal. so much angst. and even more when she finally figures out who he really is.

SARAH

anyone who can get this girl to slow down is a-okay with me.

bartender girlfriends tho.

SARINA

struggling artists in love. Sarina is a dancer and she would love to be a part of a ballet company, but knows it doesn’t pay the best, depending on which one you get into. it could be another dancer or any other kind of artist, as long as there will be fluff and angst and just... two people trying to survive in a big city despite the hardships of following your own path.

SAVANNAH

if you’ve got a football player, sav can be their physiotherapist.

a fwb situation where they develop feelings and she’s just... sav.

WARREN

I’ve got no current ideas. But things will come to me. They will.

the moment his ( no , their ) friend had seemed to disappear from the vicinity and jay deemed it was safe , he immediately dropped the act and dropped his face into his hands , releasing a slow groan that gradually rose to a crescendo . words alone couldn't even hope to express the great shame that now cast upon him and the immense need to rid himself of the now horrible memories ghosted over him , heavy and dark and oh , how he needed to forget .

he was highly disturbed , no , mortified , no , absolutely horrified by the reality shoved in front of him by their mutual friend , but he believed he did well in hiding his abhorrence when he came to discover the identity of the lady he once spent a night with . he saw no need to keep up that front , however , now that said friend had upped and left , and so the abhorrence rises up again in full force and jay is left to suffer in its presence .

❝   please tell me he was lying about your name , please tell me you're not who i assume you are , for the love of god .   ❞ jay knew there was absolutely no hope, yet it showed volumes on how desperate he was if he still longed for a sliver of it .

[cthrsvs]

most knew jay to be the outgoing sort , the uninhibited type that people tended to label as charming or a delight to have as company . nonetheless all that was surface level , merely a face he would put on so he would be liked by the masses ; most wouldn't be as welcoming of his true reticent nature . sure , he could go on and on about the nature and events of his most recent romantic break up , however the deep history behind the locket so dear to him he didn't dare wear it out , for example , was off limits .

it was an unspoken rule people were quick to discover about him upon their first few interactions , yet some dared to test the boundaries and see just how far they could go behind enemy lines and peer into the true depths of his essence . at times he didn't mind , jay discovered that some things people could consider personal and private were of little value to him and he could readily expose them from the confines of his own mind . and jay adored astoria , loved having her company and at times humoured her attempts at chipping away the walls he hadn't realised had been built . unfortunately , now was not one of those times .

❝   one day you will overstep and i will not be so forgiving .   ❞ jay's voice went cold , a sort of cold it rarely got in the presence of others , away from the privacy and comforts of his own little world . but as quick as the ice set in did it melt and evaporate into thin air , as though the chill of its presence had come and gone like the wind . ❝   now , shall we have some tea ?   ❞ // @shexquisite​​ liked for a starter ( ☆ ) from { japheth yeo } ;; plotspiration from ( x )
