Marauders era band au in the 2010s where every wattpad fic is “I was kidnapped by the marauders 😱” and the marauders find out and they gather and read the fanfics together.
We have seen these two together on multiple occasions. But they really give me Shane and Ryan vibes. Like in the way they perceive demons?
Mac being the sarcastic suave demon who taunts other demons. And MK being the one with a fear/PTSD for demons and ghosts after the whole LBD fiasco. Mac sorta forcing MK to confront his demons (pun intended) and having the most amazing time, while MK does not.
I have this really weird vibe that Beastly with Vanessa Hudgens and Alex Pettyfer inspired the After series. There’s this scene towards the end of the movie that very much sounds like Tess and Hardin. As well as some of the general vibes. Like the random dad who ODs and the boarding school campus. The arguing between them. Him being the bad boy with “tattoos”. An overall twisted love story. Them getting together and breaking up only to get together again. Her not being the one he was initially after and not even really being the one he wanted halfway through. It sorta fixed plot hole and issues within their relationship. Like I just have this funny funny feeling that it’s not so much a coincidence.
