Ok so I have recently started watching JTV and I had this au-ish fanfic idea and I can't get it out of my head so here:
Show: Jane the virgin
Pairings: Michael/Rafael, Petra/Jane &Platonic Petra/Raf
Idea: So the fic starts the same as the show with Jane being artificial inceminated but with a twist.
•Ok so Rafael & Michael are the main couple.
•Petra is there surrogate because In this fic Raf & Petra a bff's (cause I like them as friends more than together anyway), though they are married but just to keep their parents off their backs and to be each other's beard's For Petra it is because her mother is just a bitch. Also needs some help do look after her, so she does not have to be around her all the time/ have a buffer. For Raf it is to show his dad that he is serious and ready for commitent and responsiblty and because I don't think he wants/ can come out to his dad (I hc Raf as pan w man pref).
•Jane is Michael's ex from before Raf.( The ended as friends/friendly terms as they both realised that they were queer)
•Jane gives Petra & Raf the perfect excuse to divorced
•Petra is jealous of Jane at the start as she feels like Jane is replacing her. But once she gets to know her, she falls in love w her
•The Roman plot: does happen but not an affair technically. And the reason Petra hugs Michael after being kidnapped is because they are friends.
•Rose/ sin rosetor plot: same but Michael and Raf go public-ish (friends,fam, hotel staff & anyone who needs to know but no big crazy anonccement)
•The hotel shares plot: Petra and Raf work together, no lost licore license plot)
•Raf would struggle w his feelings towards Jane, feeling like he should love her romantically becasue of cishet bs but Michael, Jane , Louisa & Petra would smack some sense into him
•The fic would fellow the plot of the show but be more focused on Michael/Rafael's relationship and their problems and joys as well as Petra/Jane's also just the 4's dynamic.
•The kids: all 3 kids are raised as sibs, 50/50 custody for Mateo and same with the girls (Raf is the sperm donor for them). So they switch weeks so one week & weekend Mateo is with Raf & Michael and the girls are at Petra & Jane's then they switch.
•Raf & michael live at the Marbella in a villa/house a bit away from the main hotel, renovated special for them (hey had a ton of arguments about where they would live as but they eventually agreed)
•Petra & Jane live in a house close to the Marbella but still close to Jane's abeula and her mom & dad
•Everyones jobs: Rafael & Petra co-own the Marbella (they each own their own part & spilt Louisa's part evenly, so co-owners), Michael is a detective (vice specifically) (I hc him as a vice cop, cause not sure if they ever say if he is a detective in a specific area in the show as I'm only up to s2 but he was going after a drug dealer so anyway) & Jane is a writer but does help with the Marbella (head of staff).
•They way I think Raf & Michael meet was that rookie cop Michael arrested Raf when he was in his playboy days and they hit it off but Raf was not ready but they re-meet a few years later and got to really know each other and then started dating, Michael was there for him through the cancer and by the time the show starts they have been together for a couple of years.
Ok so that is alll I have for now, may add to it later/ when I watch more JTV. please can someone turn this into a fic (I may try it myself)or recommemd any fic like this.
