Show Idea about Fairies Fixing Timelines.

The show typically follows Felicity. Episode one introduces her, and her life situation, and the events that brought her to that point. Her work, her family, her love life. A detail that stands out is that she was born under some kind of unfortunate circumstance, Like an affair or a rape or something. There also is some focus on interrelationships, especially the love life. Because Felicity meets Bruce. And whatever the circumstance they are in, they fall for each other. And they have to deal with that pull. Also, Somewhere in the middle of the episode, Felicity thinks she sees a fairy. When Felicity and Bruce make the decision to be together, whether that seems good or bad to the audience, A vortex opens up. Then. The next episode opens up and follows Felicity in a completely new life situation, as though nothing happened, Everything's different except for the circumstances of her birth. Nothing is explained. But she thinks she sees a fairy again, And again, in some different way, she meets Bruce again, who himself is in a new life circumstance set. Again, they fall in love, again they come to embrace it, again a vortex opens up. This continues to repeat through the season, only the fairies become more and more present and intrusive, And fuck with things, And sometimes the episode follows Bruce a little and we learn about him and his histories, And every time, they fall for each other and decide to embrace it. And sometimes it's easy, and sometimes it's hard, depending on their histories in that episode. Their core personalities don't really change, but their attitudes, habits and what sorts of choices they make or crowds they run with tend to differ from episode to episode, which makes it interesting sometimes to find out Oh, how are they going to make it work THIS time?? So part of the draw for the show isn't whether or not these two lovers get together, but rather HOW. And the OTHER part is the overarching story (yes, despite this formula, there's an overarching story) is the fairies, Who we learn more about, even though the main characters don't get to, and we can piece the details together. We find out that the "fairies" are actually beings who were charged with mending the timeline, Which had fractured centuries ago, creating annoying alternate realities; and they are doing so by identifying soul mates, and bringing them together In every version of reality. It's a slow process and Felicity and Bruce are only a small piece of the puzzle. The idea is that only people that manage to exist in all the alternate realities HAVE soul mates, and at some point, with enough work, the fairies might be able to cultivate a situation where there are no humans in any reality that aren't in every reality, at which point they can mend the timeline. The season ends with the Felicity of that episode choosing to fall in love with a fairy, and the episode ends With the fairy and her hopping through the vortex.
