reinventing the catholic act of confession for airing out all ur sins and purifying your soul but there’s no priest just a bunch of asshole friends who all think they’re god, too much red wine, and some bread

also its little gone girl-esque where everything is all a carefully curated and maintained illusion and everyone is acting out their parts but when they stop,,, all hell breaks loose ,,,

I really like the infidelity AU you made up for Slimeriana >:D any more thoughts about it? I was thinking about it, and had the idea of Charlie wearing the promise ring from a chain around his neck. Maybe when they are exchanging heavy breaths, his necklace comes out from below his shirt. Mariana blinks at it, and Slime's face flushes, turning away. He gets a small tap on the shoulder- and in the Mexican man's hand is a matching chain, with a very familiar promise ring.

Maybe it was secretly some arranged marriage thing and Foolish was oblivious? Maybe he was cheating on Mariana with Vegetta? Who fucking knows!

But yeah I'd like to hear ur opinions on my silly ideas for this au and any more ideas you hav efor this au :D

Ohh! That’s a cool idea! :D just having their promise rings in chains jdsjjs

I would feel like if we’re going down the toxic couple route, Mariana being engaged would be genuine but once Charlie returned, his feelings for him came rushing back and it’s a moral dilemma of him cheating on his fiancé and having secret affairs with his previous lover.

But a secret arranged marriage is also a good idea, it adds a layer of their secret affair being no one else’s fault too. Because Charlie was threatened to cut ties and Mariana was promised to another man.

Either way, both ideas are promising :D

From my version, Mariana has anger and resentment at Charlie for cutting ties with him, so even if Mariana said he could wait forever, he doesn’t know how true it was whenever another year kept getting added with no contact with Charlie. So, when he met Foolish, he took the chance because he lost hope that Charlie would return.

But then he does, and it complicates a lot of things. Progress is lost of Mariana claiming he has moved on and feelings return much stronger than before. So, you can imagine how much he struggled to keep Charlie at an arm’s length. Especially when Charlie was being flirty and touchy and affectionate with him.

Mariana can only take so much until his patience snaps and he allows for things to happen. Allows getting undressed, allows unfamiliar but familiar hands on his body, and allows himself to drown in guilt and regret as soon as he woke up with Charlie asleep next to him.

Yet, he keeps coming back.

They play this off for months. Charlie thought he was making progress with Mariana, he convinced himself that things will be back to how things were.

But then again, Mariana still proudly introduces Foolish as his fiancé, they’re the couple that could hold hands and kiss in front of their friends and family. And Charlie is just a dirty little secret, kept in the dark with whispered confessions and promises of love.

Charlie thought he’d be content having this arrangement. He thought he’d be satisfied having Mariana on the weekends, in the backseat of his car, in a dirty nightclub bathroom, on his bedsheets.

In the end, Charlie wants all of him. And Mariana can’t give it to him, so the fighting starts.

They never fought. At least never this intensely. They didn’t think they were capable of exchanging poisonous insults and punching walls and yelling until concerned neighbors had to intervene.

Their relationship becomes so messy like this. They don’t even know where love and hate ends and begins. The lines are so blurry between bruising kisses and nail scratches on skins and punishing push and pulls. It’s like, they’re incapable of separating no matter how much they claim that they hate each other.

Eventually, Foolish finds out. And Mariana is on a crossroads to make a decision.

From this point, it could go either way. I’m giving the blue or red pill option :))) Does Mariana choose Foolish because he realizes that Charlie is his past and he should let go? Or does he choose Charlie because he doesn’t want to move on either and they could take the leap on a second chance?
