「reverie」— apply fic idea thread.Marriage blues
brief Summary: Six couples, all living through different circumstances of marriage life. When a web of love, lust, hate, and deceit intertwine, crashing the couples with what seem to be the worst problems of their lives.
plot: Six best friends, living through the ups and downs of each other, shouldering each other in time of needs, finally has the chance of marrying the love of their life. When marriage seems to be the picturesque ending, handling the real deal isn't as easy as it looks. Having obstructions from all corners—work, time, space, jealousy, financial, kids—they will have to think twice on their vows. It's either love that prevails, or separation that unveils.
Characters:
The characters are of course, married couples. Set approximately 10-15 years from now. The story works both with or without plotlines but I do recommend the use of plotlines to avoid same circumstances. Plotlines can be something like:
- has the perfect couple image but has the most internal problems
- used to be a forbidden couple (financial disparity maybe?)
- two best friends that decided to get married
- an arrange marriage
- a no strings attached marriage
- the perception of being soulmates since day one, a smooth sailing marriage
- a couple with apparent contrast (genius and the dumb, tall and the short, popular and the wallflower, etc)
tips + suggestions:
- include both romance between the couples and friendship between the girls
- be creative with the plotlines since there's a lot of room for expansion on this one
- there is a lot of room for character development and your typical love story kind of thing
- it can be a romantic, or angsty, or comedic kind of story it's up to you
- add some dramas; babies, getting sacked, third wheel, affairs, etc.
- it's an au! set to the future time so do incorporate some office work or whatever careers you see fit.
- you can start at the wedding, or few years after it, or prior to the wedding.

hi! it's jane heree and im gonna say thanks to sav for letting me work with her<3 since most fics are in teenage-dating phase, i think it will be different to see a more mature setting instead. the characters doesn't need to be 6 couples it's perfectly up to you. it doesn't have to surround on angst or drama, you can make it a comedic/fluff/romance sort of type. if possible, add babies in it because babies are cute ok?<3
