Make this premise work
Dark Academia Rivals Romance: the story underneath
Make the rivalry about a concrete academic ambition. The archive's secret should force a choice between recognition and integrity, giving the romance something harder to overcome than sharp dialogue.

An Inheritance of Ink
Two adult postgraduate rivals both need the archive fellowship to continue their research. A celebrated manuscript appears to be forged, and exposing it could destroy the fellowship funding.
- Opening: Two adult postgraduate rivals both need the archive fellowship to continue their research. Establish a fictional university's rare-book archive in autumn.
- Disruption: A celebrated manuscript appears to be forged, and exposing it could destroy the fellowship funding.
- Turning point: They discover their separate annotations reach the same uncomfortable conclusion.
- Pressure: A donor demands a public endorsement before the research is complete.
- Payoff: They document the forgery and accept a professional cost rather than repeat the deception. An earned happily-ever-after with the central conflict resolved.
This is one example from the planner. Your answers change the cast, conflict, turning point, tone, and ending.
