#i cannot physically bring myself to write about my blorbos if its not a multi chapter fic w multiple plotlines OR a one-line observation

[astral-scout]

have also been thinking abt them in an orchestra........ narcissa on flute (because i played flute for 5 years and im determined to make it do SOMETHING for me) and alice on bass or violin.. minerva as the conductor... lots of drama <- need more (4 my health btw)

sorry it took forever for me to respond </3 i have committed another Yap i fear

so i actually have this one outlined a little bit ! basically theyre in a shitty enemies to lovers romcom where alice is a small-town rural girl who moves to new york (where narcissa is from). they have a Shitty Enemies To Lovers Romcom meeting (narcissa being an asshole & alice being a tourist) which leads them to hate each other <3 but then they find out theyre interviewing for the same orchestra dot dot dot. minerva is the conductor (i KNOW objectively it would probably make more sense for it to be dumbledore but i care about minerva way more than him sorryy)

i havent sorted out the instruments buuut i would probably make them the same instrument for the dramaaa (there was only one bed music stand). anyways they have to cooperate for this big performance but they cant stand each other (glaring at someone over a flute is a hysterical image to me but most likely i'll make them both first violins) sooo they eventually get into a fight and minerva turns into an elementary school teacher and makes them Sort It Out otherwise they will get detention fired (the only reason she doesnt fire them on the spot [<- she should bc its like a super . prestigious orchestra] is because they're the best she has ❤ and she is lowk shipping them)

ANYWAYS they have to hang out and practice something or whatever. (yes i am aware this sounds like its set in high school. thats because i have never participated in a band/orchestra thing outside of high school.) super super cliche but they like. get to know each other and theyre like "huh. this isnt so bad". instead of being at each others throats theyre bantering and vibing and becoming friends-ish. crazy stuff

eventuallyyy minerva lets them come back to the orchestra and they do a performance and they actually? work super well together?? what!!! somehow they develop feelings for each other & start realising it (an oh. oh. moment will make an appearance im afraid) etc etc

then they go on a date ! how that progression happens im not sure. i will play my aromantic card. anyway narcissa takes alice to this ridiculously fancy dinner (she is a nepo baby) and alice is like UMMM yeah no actually. I know a place 😏 so she takes narcissa to some shitty club with live music and then they go wandering around new york because!! i like that. then they go home together (and fuck probably but i cant write smut to save my life. i am now playing my asexual card) and they do silly little mundane domestic things because im weak (this chapter is called verismo which is like the use of everyday life and actions in artistic works: introduced into opera in the early 1900s in reaction to contemporary conventions, which were seen as artificial and untruthful. <- yeah that. so like theyre seeing each others Real Lives sort of.i dont know if that makes sense)

but then!! something happens n alice has to go back home to like . vermont or wherever shes from and she leaves the orchestra even though its her dream because she is.sthe nicest person ever or wahetver. she & narcissa miss each other like crazy though so narcissa goes out to alices parents house (recall this has the plot of a shitty romcom) and like . professes her love and insists alice comes back to the orchestra and alice is like Btu i cant! but narcissa has found a way to sort out whatever problem there was in the first place. so they go back together yay!! and fuck

then they have to do the big performance wooo big dramatic scene woooo and it goes well and they leap into each others arms and kiss and laugh and theyre happy blah blah blah the end

I dont. think i will ever finish it. there are so many plot points i havent figured out and i fear i can imagine nothing harder than writing about Playing Music. also ill probably make them violinists and i have not touched a string instrument in my life BUt this has been marinating in my mind for a while so thank you!!! for letting me share yay <3
