about me 🌷

age/gender/location:
i'm 28 (so i would prefer my partners to be 21+) - my pronouns are she/her - i'm from britain

experience: 15 years of writing, writing broadly across different character types. also a trained history teacher, so any chance to put a little historical twist on things, i'll happily take!

style: 3rd person past-tense, multi-para but i don't write novella style posts unless it really requires it, prefer quality over quantity

erotic content: i am completely open to this. we can talk specifics if it's something that's on the table as our story develops, including what any hard limits are and figuring out any dynamics or kinks that might be explored (happy to share interests/limits over pms). i'd probably say the ratio would be something like 75:25 for plot:smut if it was to be included!

genre preferences: looking to write romantic dramas, i want interesting, mature and moving events/plot points to occur whilst watching primary characters navigate them. i also love history - if we can make this fairly period accurate, that would excite me! however, there's always flexibility here (for example, making society's big divides be class and gender, rather than race, to allow poc characters that are not subjugated to racism) these plots also have a british setting, think any of austen's works. recently been inspired by the other bennett sister too (highly recommend a watch).

character preferences. ideally i'd have a partner willing to play one (or more) male characters, however, i'm aware that people tend to want to play a female lead like myself, so very open to doubling/tripling. i really want to write a love triangle - AND i'd love to do this for you too, if you'd wish - if not i'm happy to double from the ideas below, or you to to run with one of my ideas and you present another to me! 🌟

partner preferences: 1) be 21+, 2) match my vibe, 3) play complex characters, 4) play comfortably in british settings, in-depth historical knowledge is not required though, 5) post at least once a week, 6) plot/plan/get excited about our story ooc, i love playlists/pinboards.

ideas 🌷

many of these include AGE GAPS, we can modify them to not include them though! also, please assume that i desire muse a in these ideas, but am VERY happy to play muse b/c for you as a doubling/tripling scenario.

love triangle, idea one: muse a is the eldest daughter (twenties) of a titled family, left in a precarious position after her father's sudden death. with the estate entailed away to a distant male cousin, her mother and two much younger sisters are forced from their home and into a much more modest property. with her family's future resting, unfairly, on her shoulders, muse a cannot afford the luxury of purely marrying for love.

their new home stands on land owned by muse b, a wealthy widower some years older (forties), hose reserved manner, difficult reputation, and shadowed past (wife's death, his withdrawal from society, a daughter that fell into scandal?) make him an uneasy figure - and yet one who seems simply enchanted by muse a - whether out of admiration or loneliness, he becomes increasingly determined to secure her hand.

but when muse c, muse a's childhood companion and first love (twenties), gets in touch after years serving some years in the military and learns what has become of her family, old feelings resurface almost at once. he offers what help he can, and with it comes all the warmth she thought she had lost. yet his renewed attentions puts him at odds with muse b, whose interest in muse a is anything but casual, and whose fortune offers the greatest security of all.

love triangle, idea two: muse a is the daughter of a moderately wealthy and well-connected family who has long been raised with the understanding that she will one day marry (however much she protested that it wasn't her own choice) to muse b - a peer in the house of lords, only a few years her senior, whose title and standing in society make him an undeniably suitable match. though the arrangement has always been more expectation than romance, muse b is earnest in his efforts to build something real between them rather than simply claim what has long been promised.

but as the understanding between them begins to move to something more family, on a trip to london, muse c appears in muse a's orbit - the half-acknowledged bastard son of a viscount, raised on the edges of high society. intelligent, sharp-tongued, and determined to forge his own name in politics, muse c has more radical views on class, power, and even the position of women - which intrigues muse a greatly.

caught between muse b, the man she has always been expected to marry and who is trying his best to earn it, and muse c, the man who awakens her curiosity, muse a finds herself torn between obligation and temptation.

pairing idea one: (adultery is suggested here but does not have to be a theme) muse a, born to comfort but disillusioned with the marriage market after too many disappointments, is encouraged by her family to seek a respectable position rather than accept a match that now may not come. she becomes governess in the household of muse b, an older titled gentleman whose home is marked either by a long-cold marriage or the lingering shadow of a dead wife. what begins as mutual regard deepens with dangerous speed: she finds in him a depth of feeling and loneliness, and he, in turn, becomes increasingly unable to hide how he is drawn to her. within the confines of his household, affection turns to intimacy, before a line is crossed the neither of them know how to walk back.

pairing idea two: (adultery also suggested here, but prior to the roleplay beginning) muse a has lived under a cloud of whispers ever since her engagement was abruptly broken off, leaving society to speculate. though no one knows the full truth - that she was persuaded into surrendering her innocence to a man who never meant to honour his vows - people assume the worst anyway. extremely weary, and aware that any future marriage must be built on a lie unless she dares confess it, she would rather hide from it all. however, she finds herself the object of increasingly serious attention from muse b, an older man who has known public humiliation of his own. years earlier, his wife's infidelity ended their marriage in divorce, and though he still supports her financially from a distance, unwilling to see her fall into ruin. as muse b's affections run deeper for muse a, and as she realises she reciprocates them, she must decide whether she can trust him with the truth before it is weaponised against her.

pairing idea three: muse a is the middle daughter of a wealthy family, long accustomed to being overlooked in favour of a prettier elder sister and a younger one still indulged by everyone around her. clever, and quietly rebellious in ways small enough to escape serious notice, she has learned to keep most of herself. but when muse b arrives as the estate's new stablehand - energetic and far less deferential to her than anyone else in her world - their brief exchanges gradually become something more. what begins as private understanding deepens into a secret romance neither of them can afford. for muse b, whatever his history, stands too far beneath her for any attachment to be tolerated; and for muse a, the risk is not merely scandal, but the loss of family, standing, and future.


these ideas are heavily inspired by austen and regency tropes in general, so hopefully you forgive the general lack of originality! but they are fairly loose ideas to be built on, and your suggestions are welcome - if any of this takes your fancy, drop me a private message with an introduction and what you're interested in!
