Looking for a romance between the girl and the young merman who had saved her from drowning as a child. As they grow older, the relationship deepens between the girl from the land and the boy from the sea. Looking for equal parts fluff, angst, and smut. Pining is forever my jam.
An arranged marriage that had been set up since Evie was a child. They don't see each other often as they grow up, since they live in different countries, but every time they're in each other's presence, they don't like each other. Then the wedding comes, and she's sent to live in a place that is not a home with a man that she's sure that she hates. Slowly, they begin to realize that the other isn't a terrible person, they'd both just been put in a terrible situation and weren't given the choice to say 'this isn't want I want'. Total slow burn romance, they find reasons to keep coming together for these fleeting little moments that hint at happiness, courting after marriage, very slowly finding out how good they are for each other, and eventually falling in love.
But I also wouldn't mind playing a plot about class struggles. I'm a sucker for a forbidden romance, so whether she falls for someone above or below her station, I'm game. So, I'm definitely thinking about a lot of sneaking around, and trying to deny feelings, and the desperation that comes with trying to stay away from each other, only to fall back into each other's arms.
And then, there is the good ol' plot that revolves around her tutor, and they sort of bond over books, and their shared love of reading, and while there are feelings that crop up for the both of them, it's not very proper for a man in his position to court a woman in hers. He's afraid of losing her to one of the tons of suitors her father is throwing at her, but still, they never share what it is that they're feeling, they just continue to live in this limbo of longing, and sexual tension, which slowly gets all the more intense until finally, he can't take it anymore, and he insists on a meeting with her father, where he tells him everything that he feels, that he loves her, that he might not be a rich man, but he'd treat her right, and that he wasn't leaving without her come hell or high water, and maybe it doesn't happen right away, or maybe they run away together, or maybe they actually are able to be together and get married, but obviously there'll be a happy ending in there somewhere, and ... yes.
Or, I'd also like a slow burn romance with the man that she's made to marry. At first, maybe they're both uncomfortable and aloof, but they find some sort of common ground, which leads to innuendo, and stolen moments, touching, kissing, missed opportunities, and a whole lot of UST.
( More ideas heeeeeere! )
