!! Craving plots below !!
ATTENTION!: I have this character that I just came up with today that I would love to use in a story with someone! I haven't made a sheet for her or anything of the sort, I kind of wanted to leave that up to the plot and just develop her further from there, but she does have a pinterest board to show her vibes and appearance. So, if anyone is interested in giving her a chance, then hmu!
There comes a time in every girl's life when she's excited to wed and live happily with someone special. Sometimes, it happens in a less than ideal way. Very few survive the Offering, very few survive the Ceremony, very few survive the Marking.
Once every decade, the shifters or "Moon Walkers" come to the village of Meliora to collect a bride offered up to the chosen warrior, alpha, or higher ranking leader in the pack. The pack and Meliora had a very bleak past, but now have a treaty for peace in the form of sacrificial marriage: a bride in exchange for peace, meat, mead, and light protection (i.e. women and children). Without a bride, raids and destruction will commence. Any attack on either side without justifiable reasoning is considered treason and the treaty is strained or null/void.
Muse A has always been the free spirit of her village, always getting into trouble and going on adventures despite warnings and denial of village leaders and her own family. She is the sacrifice chosen by her village leaders. The true reason is unknown, but many surly Meliorans suspect it would do the village some good to push a trouble maker out.
Muse B -warrior, alpha, or ranking official (beta, delta)- is the shifter in search for a life partner, having applied to be the chosen one to collect the sacrifice. He's waited for this moment for as long as he can remember, though has a strange or difficult way of showing it. The pack and village have very different cultures: village being more bland and even traditional in ways while the pack is more lively, primal, and ceremonial, sometimes downright horrific in the eyes of a villager but normal for a shifter.
Will she survive this new journey she is thrown into? Will her eyes be opened to new possibilities and the adventure and thrills she craves? Or will she perish as many other brides had in the past?

Introduction:[/FONT]
● My name is Ally. I am 27 and have 14+ years of creative writing experience.
● I write in 3rd person, past tense. I love many genres, but my heart clings to fantasy and romance. (Almost all of my stories have to have both)
● I am no stranger to dark themes or topics. If you have any triggers, please let me know. As far as I know, I have none. Except erotic content, fade to black only.
● Multi-para, semi-adv lit. Around 400+ word count per post, can and probably will write more
● I don't do fandoms or double, sorry. Just not a fan of the canon thing and such. Naruto is the only exception and only Oc X Oc.
● I prefer realistic faceclaims, it's easier for me to visualize the characters in action. However, I will make exceptions for some art and may even use AI to generate pics for my characters. Descriptions are cool too. (No AI for writing!)
● I love including a variety of side characters of all different backgrounds, races, sexualities, etc. My main character will be female in every story, and I prefer to write against male characters.
●Please be 21+ years old.
● All of my plots are based off of songs (some lyrics and some just vibes)

Plots
Her father, the king, is slowly losing his mind as each day passes. Her mother, the queen, had recently passed away due to a strange illness. And now the fate of her kingdom/country and the future of her kind rests in her hands. Portions of her own nobility and people question her abilities to lead and protect them, in addition to other ruling kingdoms around them. What happens when the regent faces more threats than one could count, each growing more dangerous by the day. Attempts are made left and right, plans and plots against her are devised under the table and behind closed doors. With her rise to the throne, her enemies are so much closer than any of them realized. What happens when an outsider is hired to be her personal guard? A man skilled with the expertise that could help propel armies far beyond their time, a man that is taken in out of desperation but good faith, a man whom is not so different from the enemies she faces every moment. Will they grow fond of each other and develop a love for one another in secrecy? Or will this be the biggest mistake her regency could make in regards to her safety?

Muse A was the responsible one, the role model student and loyal friend of many. College had always felt like a dream to her, and it was even better than she imagined once she got there. Until she met him. He was the outcasted guy that stayed in the house a quarter mile from the college she attended. Long story short,
let's just say they had something special. A spark, a flame that sadly died out so suddenly when they found out she was pregnant. He left her in the rain that night and disappeared off the face of the earth, never to be heard from again. Her parents, the respectable church members who had an expensive reputation, threw her out to the wolves. To fend for herself. After all, this was her child, her responsibility. And now a college dropout, the single mother works endlessly to provide for the sick little girl she mothers. Two jobs, both minimum wage. It's hard living on the outskirts of the city alone with a kid. But when Muse B, a dangerous and mysterious stranger with an odd interest in her, steps into her world, how are their lives going to change? Isn't it "For better or for worse"?

The two largest and most dangerous gangs in New York City are approaching a dilemma as investigators and other personnel are on their tails. The rival crime families at constant war with each other finally give peace a shot, attempting to accomplish this goal in the form of a union. Law enforcement and other gangs are hot on their trails and getting closer to bringing them down. Now, the two leaders decide to arrange a marriage between their first borns in order to unite both families to become stronger and more deadly than ever before. The two first born have never met but only heard of each other, how close will they grow after coming to terms with their arrangement? Angst and tension run deep within both and are shown in their relationship, even heavy pressure weighs on their shoulders because of their familys' expectations and previous shared hatred. Will the two learn how to just survive this point in their lives? Or will they build a long lasting connection that will allow them to thrive and conquer all in their midst?
A curious half breed vampire was born to a human male and vampiric female in the mid 1990's. Kept secret and hidden from the supernatural world, she now works and lives as a normal gal in the city. What happens when she walks home from work one night and runs into a ruthless vampire-werewolf hybrid with a bad boy aesthetic/attitude and insatiable appetite? She has difficulty feeding, he has trouble controlling himself. She has dormant abilities she doesn't understand that could make her a danger to herself and others like a ticking time bomb just waiting to explode, he knows himself inside out and has mastered his own to use at will. With both being rarities, they are in danger of being hunted every second. Old enemies resurface, new adventures are inevitably written into history, and all they have is each other to keep protected, hidden and sane.

She never expected this to happen. She was a normal girl, part of an average family in a small town. She had big dreams, big goals for herself. After moving to a big city, there were of course some worries but never to this extent. Sure, she expected creeps but never did she see herself actually being stalked and eventually snatched up. The moment she met him, she knew something was off. Something didn't sit right with her when it came to him, no matter how attractive or oddly interesting he was. How will she react to the abduction, cope with the physical and emotional turmoil, and deal with this new life once she finds her new home to be a little room made specially for her? What challenges will she face in this predicament that he forces upon her? How long will she hate him and yearn for the escape of a lifetime? Could the tables turn and her whole world revolve around his crazy ass? Will she successfully get out or will the rest of her years be confined to one face and one room?
Such a cold and harsh winter the town of Rosaliegh was caught in the middle of. Blizzard after blizzard and snowstorms in a continuous cycle kept most of the residents confined to their houses and the inner parts of the town. Being in the mountains didn't really help either, it seemed as if it was a never ending battle with Mother Nature. All knew of the struggle, but no one better than the young woman with a dark and misconstrued past living off the grid in the wilderness just outside of the town's lines. She was young to be on her own out in such a vengeful place, isolated with only herself to keep company and survive. But that was the thing, she was fine with that. Ever since what happened those years ago, she had chosen to live this way. And on one of the calmest days of snowfall, she decided to leave her secluded home to search for firewood. Of course, she didn't expect nor was she prepared in the slightest to find a man laying by a rotting log, looking to be either unconscious or lifeless one. A little bloodied and beaten up, everything in her body told her to leave him there and let the winter put him out of his misery. However, deep down something within her felt different and utterly confused by it, she inevitably decided to drag him back to the house to help him.
New Orleans, Louisiana. A place where you could marry your high school sweetheart, raise your kids, and work till you died. Local parades, festivals, antiques, diners, music, you name it. But where there is peace, trouble lurks near. This wasn't the way she pictured herself dying. The pain was too much to bear. Who would do such a terrible thing? Most vampires were seemingly vile, destructive creatures. With a new terrifying reality, she is faced with numerous challenges. As if things couldn't get any more complicated, this beautiful, kind fucker comes along and turns her life even more upside down. The fear is rich as her fingers brush against a happiness so unrelenting that it's surreal.. but how long will it last?.
Her life wasn't everything she had hoped for, but she learned to make peace with it. It wasn't easy living as a vampire, but she didn't have the strength to end it all. Terrified of turning her emotions off, she decided to do her best to make the most of a terrible situation. With her brother missing and rumors of a mystical ritual are on the rise, she struggles to find the right lead to follow and is afraid that she's running out of time. One late night during her travels, she stumbles upon a lone wolf. Will the rogue help her on her journey or will he end it all there and condemn her brother to a ritualistic death?
He had always been a popular guy. Had a big close-knit family, participated in sports, and was studying something complex to be something greater than the town he grew up in would have had offered for him. There was just something about him that screamed approachable and trustworthy, there was no doubt he had a large friend group. And he was so fucking smart. But none of that mattered now, not when she knew he existed. He became her primary focus and he had no idea the life she had planned for the two of them. It would be them against the world.

They had known each other since they were kids. They did everything together. Birthdays, holidays, school, you name it. From kindergarten until high school graduation, they were inseparable. Then, he vanished. It was suddenly as if he no longer existed. They searched for years but came up with nothing, resulting in the case going cold. This drastically changed her life. She was lost without him. Being forced to believe that the one you loved the most was dead was the hardest thing she had to endure. Now, several years later, she runs into someone she never thought she would see again, but he's an entirely different person from who he used to be. There was also just something that wasn't right about him. He didn't mean to cross paths with her ever again, he preferred to be as far away as he could to keep the ones from his past safe. It seemed fate had different plans. Now, buried feelings resurface and new dangers pose threats to everything in her life. Who knew fantasy was a reality?
There was something in the woods. The locals knew, had even spun fairytales of monsters and the terrors of the night to scare their children into behaving. Even with the knowledge and proof of suspicious and creepy happenings, only few knew what really lurked out there. And they kept those secrets buried behind their teeth. She moved to escape the burden of a relationship gone wrong, only to settle into a new slew of horrors when she realizes something just isn’t right in this town. There are whispers in the wind, glowing eyes in the darkness and an eerie silence that haunts her now. And it all started with the strange man she saw lurking on the other side of the pond.
Lab number four, otherwise known as “Fort Vada” (pronounced Vay-duh), is one of the most successful operations known to man. It is kept secret from the public and some government for good reason. Cases of missing children and adults pop up all of the time, at least half of them are now server a “better” purpose in life. Extreme experimentation and genetic manipulation is funded by the government every day. No one knows exactly what their tax money really goes towards. She had been raised there, experienced many horrors and saw the terror inflicted upon others being held there. This is home to her, has been for as long as she can remember. Everyone knows her by the name she was given, the entire lab’s success started with her, the place is even named after her. Every week is the same, everyday has a particular routine.
Experiment 997240, Vada, notices that the forever empty room next to hers suddenly becomes home to someone new. She can’t help but feel bad for him, knowing what is to become of his permanent stay there. There’s something strange about him though, even the procedures they conducted on him were different. Is he special too? She becomes determined to figure out who and what he is.

(Same intro as before without the second bit)
It was accident, she didn’t mean it. Or maybe she did, this test did hurt worse than the others normally did. They had pushed her too hard. They definitely deserved it, the guard and the scientist. After their deaths, it took weeks before someone else was specially picked to replace them. He stood with clipboard in hand, always prepared to jot down anything pertinent to the case. His job was simple enough, mainly observation and casual interaction. As far as she was concerned, he probably had an underlying motive to hurt her like the other scientists who conducted experiments. Perhaps these were the mental gymnastics they wished to force upon her to test her sociability and psychological abilities.

Lunera, a land of savagery, houses tribes of ruthless individuals. Pillagers, swordsmen, hunters and criminals of various degrees. You're lucky to ever walk away from an encounter alive. Other countries know to fear them for many reasons, but there are rumors and tales on the wind about what monsters they may truly be. Muse A has been taught from the very beginning of her life to fear what lurked beyond the line of trees surrounding her small village. The last attack on their village happened long before she was even born and there had been peace for many years so she never thought it would ever actually happen again. Until it does. One early morning of chaos shifts the entirety of her life in the once quiet village of Meliora and she is dragged into a world she had only heard of from the lips of older generations. Will she survive the new life planned for her or will she fall victim to the brutality around her?

A simple walk through the woods wasn’t out of the ordinary for her, it was something she quite enjoyed. The alone time, the peace and quiet, the sights and smells of nature.. Usually she would have a friend or one of her brothers with her, but today was different. Life in the village had gotten overwhelming, especially with the preparations for a visit from the heirs to the kingdom of Priana and the recent birth of her youngest sibling. All day she wandered around, taking a chance on going deeper into the forest than usual to see something new, even if that meant treading close to the dangerous territories of Lunera.
Upon reaching a small clearing next to a generous creek, she finds herself crossing paths with a man. A man from the enemy country, covered in symbols and weaponry. He seemed different from the stories of his people that she had heard all her life. He didn’t appear to be some berserker, some barbarian, some senseless raider. Looks could be deceiving, but their encounter evoked feelings of certainty that he would not harm her as his people would have upon seeing her or her people. Who is he? And more importantly, are the legends of his people true?
((Another dark shifter romance in a medieval style setting. A little more lighthearted at first, then picks up. Let’s discuss more!))

All it took was one snake to ruin everything. Almost the entire pack was dead, all because of one spy and there was nothing she could do to change that. Speculation of their allied pack being responsible for the carnage was burning through the survivors. They told her to run, so she did. She was smart enough to know she couldn't face the perpetrators alone.
With little sense of direction in the new unfamiliar territory she stumbles into, a part of her knows she's landed herself in quite the situation. Now as a rogue, there'sreally nowhere she can turn to without an altercation of some sort. She crosses paths with another wolf, much larger and faster than herself and concludes that he must be a leader of a pack nearby. There isn't much she can do, other than try her best to figure out how the next steps in her life play out.
(( Have never done wolf pack dynamics/heirarchy before and I think it could be interesting. Haven't really done many stories as a werewolf/wolf shifter FMC before and I'd like to try it out again in a different scenario. Dark fantasy romance with more supernatural creatures than just Werewolves. Lots of drama. Maybe age gap between the two but nothing over 35 or so. ))

It seems that I accidentally deleted this spoiler from my thread, but I'll fix that.
I'm looking for a story within the Naruto Shippuden universe. It has to be original without really following the timeline of events (those events may still happen, but it will have nothing to do with our story). We may have cannon characters show up, but rarely, I want to keep this as fresh as possible with our own cast of characters, though both of us will have primarily one main (I do not double, sorry).
I'm looking for passionate (and devastating) romance, juicy drama, heart pounding action, darker themes that are handled with respect and even moments of comedy and fluff. Also want to dive into the Anbu, as well as being a sensei. I sort of have a plot that follows my character with the addition of this new life with new faces, new duties and new adventures.
The plot revolves around a rebellion slowly sweeping through the nations; a radical organization/cult (made up of corrupt officials, crooked anbu, other shinobi who believe their leaders are unfit or their village is unworthy of existence) is responsible for the downfall of many small villages and they plan on moving to bigger villages. It wiped out her own village, causing her to go on the run with her son.
She makes it to this larger village (an original one my partner and I would create and develop), hoping to make it a new permanent residence for her and her son because she's tired of running. The organization/cult has a bit to do with her backstory, formed initially in her home village. So there's a connection, but she had nothing to do with them. Now, this new village is in jeopardy of being taken over or conquered. Now where the plot goes from there (even after the initial conflict is resolved) is up to the two writers
But essentially she meets Muse B, my partner's character, and he may help with the rebellion issue (allies/friends to lovers), or may be part of the problematic movement (enemies to lovers).
If this sounds fun to you, please don't hesitate to shoot me a message!
Some media for you, including a board for my OC. If you want to get more familiar with my OC just to see if you'd vibe with her, then lemme know!

There comes a time in every girl's life when she's excited to wed and live happily with someone special. Sometimes, it happens in a less than ideal way. Very few survive the Offering, very few survive the Ceremony, very few survive the Marking.
Once every decade, the shifters or "Moon Walkers" come to the village of Meliora to collect a bride offered up to the chosen warrior, alpha, or higher ranking leader in the pack. The pack and Meliora had a very bleak past, but now have a treaty for peace in the form of sacrificial marriage: a bride in exchange for peace, meat, mead, and light protection (i.e. women and children). Without a bride, raids and destruction will commence. Any attack on either side without justifiable reasoning is considered treason and the treaty is strained or null/void.
Muse A has always been the free spirit of her village, always getting into trouble and going on adventures despite warnings and denial of village leaders and her own family. She is the sacrifice chosen by her village leaders. The true reason is unknown, but many surly Meliorans suspect it would do the village some good to push a trouble maker out.
Muse B -warrior, alpha, or ranking official (beta, delta)- is the shifter in search for a life partner, having applied to be the chosen one to collect the sacrifice. He's waited for this moment for as long as he can remember, though has a strange or difficult way of showing it. The pack and village have very different cultures: village being more bland and even traditional in ways while the pack is more lively, primal, and ceremonial, sometimes downright horrific in the eyes of a villager but normal for a shifter.
Will she survive this new journey she is thrown into? Will her eyes be opened to new possibilities and the adventure and thrills she craves? Or will she perish as many other brides had in the past?
