🍎 ｡:*• ─ WITCHCRAFT & WIZARDRY PLOTS.    ›  ( a compilation of plot ideas involving witches & wizards, for both modern days and past eras/AUs.)

1. The witch hunter— muse A is an experienced witch hunter/huntress who somehow ends up hurt and/or lost and in need of help. Muse B is a witch/wizard who crosses their path and decides to bring them home and nurse them back to health. Did B recognize A beforehand and decided to help them anyway ?  Were they oblivious to A’s field of work and what they’ve done to others of their kin ?  How will they react when they find out ?  Did A also recognize B and only accepted their help just to betray them in the end ?  Were they too weak to notice B was the one they were hunting ?  Will this proximity help them see the good in each other and overcome their old beliefs ?  Will they be able to set their differences aside and get along ?  Will an unexpected, beautiful friendship flourish ?  Maybe something more ?  Or will the hunting continue ? 

2. Nature vs nurture — muse A is one of the best witches/wizards in their coven, while muse B is a close friend of theirs who was born without any magical aptitude, despite also having been born to an old family of witches. Because of this, B has always endured some rejection ( maybe even bullying ) growing up. Tired of this situation, A decides to teach B all they know, to the best of their abilities, ignoring all the mockery and mean comments from other members of the coven. And despite their apparent lack of powers, B is strong willed and determined to learn, no matter how bad they are at it in the first place. Will they be able to prove the naysayers wrong ?  Prove that magic can be taught and learned ?  Will B become as powerful as A ?  Would they use their newfound abilities to take revenge on those who made fun of them growing up ?  Use this knowledge to help others in the same situation ?

3. The potion — muse A and muse B are two witches/wizards from two rival covens looking for the same, very rare ingredient for a potion. When they cross paths, will they cooperate and help each other find the said ingredient ?  Brew their potion together and share it ?  Could this be the reconciliation for a centuries-old rift between their covens ?  Or will they try and trick each other ?  Try to sabotage the others potion ?  And what does this potion do ?  Why was it so important in the first place ?

4. The witch trial — muse A and muse B live in the same village. A is accused of witchcraft and facing a witch trial, while B is the one who accused them ( maybe as an act of revenge ?  envy ?  maybe they were coerced into it ? ). In a twist of events, B is also accused by a third person and ends up locked away with A, awaiting their trial. Will they come up with even worse accusations to set up the other, while trying to save themselves ?  Will they cooperate and plot an escape together ?  Can they forgive each other ?  What if one of them really is a witch/wizard ?  What if both of them are ?

5. The chocolate house — muse A is a witch/wizard who lives in a really nice house, not literally made of chocolate, but still very appealing to someone on the run/lost/looking for shelter. Muse B comes knocking on their door and of course A takes them in, taking great care of them with delicious meals and providing a nice warm bed, all with the intent of getting them in perfect shape to use for some kind of ancient ritual. However, as time passes by, both muses get along really well and A changes their mind, having grown fond of B and intending to spare them and keep them as a friend/lover ( maybe even an apprentice ? ). But what will happen when B finds out about their initial intentions and what they’ve done in the past ?  Could they forgive A and stay anyway ?  Would A resort to magic to make them stay ?  Respect their wishes and let them go ? Find redemption or go back to their old ways, if B leaves ?

6. The undercover witch — muse A is a witch/wizard who has decided to leave their coven and try to live as a regular human ( maybe out of sheer curiosity ? wanting to experience college life ?  maybe they fell in love with a human and are afraid they wouldn’t accept their magical abilities ? ). Having moved into a new place, they meet muse B, their very human roommate. As they get to know each other, their days are full of B trying to figure out how A gets things  ( such as chores, meals, homework, etc… )  done so fast, and A not understanding how humans do certain things and surely messing up, maybe even slipping some words, like  “ Maybe we should take my broom ?  Uh… bike, I mean bike… ” . And what if B finally finds out about A’s true nature ?  Would they be scared ?  Find it the coolest thing ever ?  Want to know more about their world ?  Would A enjoy living among humans as one of them, or deem it too difficult/confusing and return to their coven ?

7. The party — muse A was invited to a costume party and has decided to dress up as a witch/wizard. Once they show up to the party’s location, they’re delighted to see everyone is also dressed up as witches and wizards !  They can’t believe they’ve nailed this party’s theme so well !  Even if their costume looks so cheap compared to the ones other people are wearing, which look incredibly detailed and realistic. Looking closer, why doesn’t A recognize anyone at this party ?  Except for muse B, who they’ve seen around the neighborhood/attends the same college/etc…  And why is everyone looking at them funny ?  It turns out, A has got the wrong directions and ended up at a real witches’ meeting, at which B was also taking part. Will B do their best to try and conceal this fact from A, making them believe this is nothing but a regular costume party ?  Tell them the truth ?  Will A find out on their own ?  How will they react ?  Will B, bored of the magical meeting, secretly leave with A and make their way to the real costume party A wanted to attend in the first place ?   ( Alternatively, if both muses are witches/wizards, one of them could have ended up at a rival coven’s meeting. )

When witches don’t fight, they burn. ❞ 31.  ❝ In the old days, if a witch betrayed her coven, they would kill her. ❞ 32.  ❝ For some, witchery was a choice, but not for me. ❞ 33.  ❝ We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. ❞ 34.  ❝ I’m going to be a very good witch from now on. ❞ 35.  ❝ I almost died at the hands of a witch. But that past made me stronger. ❞ 36.  ❝ Who doesn’t enjoy a good scare every now and again ?  Especially this time of the year. ❞ 37.  ❝ You gotta be a real witch, the way you fly that broom !  You think maybe you can teach me how to fly it ? ❞ 38.  ❝ If you help me gather everything I need for the spell, I will do anything you want. So what do you say ? ❞ 39.  ❝ A witch never gets caught. Don’t forget that she has magic in her fingers and devilry dancing in her blood. ❞ 40.  ❝ Some people will say that not all witches are evil, that their powers could be used for good. I say burn them all ! ❞
