plot idea: wealthy family loses all their money (maybe gambling ala featheringtons from bridgerton) and has to try and adjust to life in poverty - either by decieving their neighbours or having to relocate and completely start over as poor.

Thanks go to the marvelous MJ for her sensational set.

A bachelor, having met a lady the evening before, thinks himself infatuated. She is hopeful that their dances will lead to something more. He pays a call to her residence the next day, only to find her not at home—fortunately, her sister is and she's just as good, he guesses (and more convenient!)

For maximum enjoyment, bachelor and BOTH sisters ought to be played.

I am very into the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn (which, by the way, you should all read because it does much more for my muse than the Netflix series did!) and I am very into the idea of seeing some similar plots between Charming characters. Of course, these aren't ONLY for me but I would be devastated if you didn't include me :P.

A MODIFIED CINDERELLA TALE

A lady attends a masquerade-type ball (or is somehow able to hide her identity) and finds herself becoming more open to a man's advances than she might usually be. They find themselves alone, only for her to realize after a long conversation/inappropriate make out session/whatever that she should probably put a halt to it before she does permanent damage to her reputation. She flees, but not before leaving a clue about her identity, either physical or by her words. It doesn't have to be a shippy plot, but it could chew a lady up to realize she's left a clue about her identity after doing things a lady really shouldn't be doing, and it makes for all the more fun meeting threads where either he (or both!) have no clue that they'd been in such an intimate position with the other. (Until they do, of course.)

ENEMIES-TO-FRIENDS (-TO-LOVERS?) BUT MAKE IT BOUGIE

In society it's terrible to show outright disdain for someone of the opposite sex, but these two characters cannot help it after getting themselves into a scenario that shows off their worst attributes. Both think the other is terrible and are dead-set on these opinions, going as far as to publicly express them. Until, slowly, they begin to realize that the traits they've labeled the other with are inaccurate, and they're forced into the realization that they might actually like each other.

THE BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER (OR SISTER)

Girl has an older brother, older brother has a best friend (alternatively: girl has a best friend, best friend has an older brother) and they've met in passing, but neither has been in a position to properly interact until she's out. He takes an interest in her, or she takes an interest in him, and the other is completely oblivious.

Two characters' relationship begins with... their marriage. Maybe it was an arranged marriage that neither of them were privy to until a few weeks before they were set to marry, or maybe they were forced together due to scandal or other unforeseen circumstances. From the awkward wedding night to settling into a daily routine with each other, there's always room for drama, misunderstandings, and bonding over the weirdest things.

A wealthy book publisher who enjoys publishing controversial work under separate DBA from their main business, and has gone through great lengths to ensure his/her name won't be attached to things that cause outrage (but takes secret satisfaction in knowing that they've helped cause it). It would be a fun way to attach some of the published characters on the board!

A character pulls a Meg from Little Women and marries beneath herself for love, only to struggle with the realities of the lifestyle

ALTERNATIVELY:

A character marries above his station and is elevated due to his bride's dowry or whatever favors her family grants him as a result of marrying their daughter. Cue him struggle to adjust to lifestyle changes while trying to stay in his in-law's good graces.

I loooove Edith Wharton and someone should do an Age of Innocence inspired plot. Elements can include:
- my husband is in love with my hot cousin and I know but he doesn't think I do
- husband tries to leave wife who tells him she's pregnant, but isn't ~sure
- romanticizing someone so much that you know the reality of them would be dissappointing

based off this chitty chitty bang bang subplot.

Character A and Character B are married and are disgustingly in love. At least that is what the world and Character B think. Secretly, Character A has been trying to murder Character B for years and Character B keeps unknowingly avoiding death traps, surviving without realizing they almost died, thinking things were accidents that they narrowly escaped from, etc.

Things I would love to see on the board, inspired by my favourite Percy Bysshe Shelley anecdotes:

Mad Shelley: Weird kid at Hogwarts refuses to join in with mean clique things / is just weird, so becomes everyone's bullying target, for which their peers conduct particular "[Shelley]-baiting" sessions to make their life a living torment.

The Necessity Of Atheism: some kind of incendiary anonymous pamphlet (sex ed? women's rights?) spreads around Oxford Hogwarts and causes scenes; the instigator is ferreted out and gets expelled for it.

Custody Issues: When he became a widower, Shelley was denied custody of his children and they were fostered elsewhere because, as an atheist, he was deemed an "unfit parent". Idk what the wizarding equivalent is, but love to see some ~legally unfit fathers.

A Complicated Elopement: Young man elopes* and runs away to Europe with his lover... and her sister. As you do.

(The Shelleys' version also includes: a carriage trip through Europe until they run out of money; someone immediately sprains their ankle when they have to walk; everyone's jealous of each other and writing snippy diary entries and is miserable; and then to make everything worse, Claire Clairmont throws herself at Byron.)

*technically not a legal elopement because Shelley had eloped before >.>
