Awkward Romance or Enemies with Benefits (MxF)

[Deante]

I’m looking for an RP with either a clear love/hate dichotomy or the romance of two people who want to be together but are uncomfortable

The basics

• Please communicate, let me know if you're no longer interested, if you can't get online for a while, etc. If something in the RP isn't working, we can stop or retool it.
• MC can be male or futa, but YC should be female. Your RL gender doesn't matter.
• Reply length baseline is around 3 paragraphs.
• Would prefer a partner who can post more than once a week.
• The story/sex ratio here is skewed towards smut, as the point is about satisfying a fantasy.
• Threads/PMs/Emails preferred for RP. I'm curious to experiment with Google Docs.

First An Important Note
This up front since it turns a lot of folks off: I'm looking for non-humans, including YC. My main preference is for anthros, but a few other humanoids are possible--the last idea here allows for a wide option of monsters et al. Here’s a NSFW album of examples/inspiration, not necessarily faceclaims, don't fee like you must. To be honest I'm not that interested in kemonomimi (humans with animal ears/tail)—you’d have to really convince me.

Still with me? Okay.

Discomfort in Paradise
Our characters deeply care about each other. It’s probably a BDSM relationship, but beyond that, they’re close. The catch? They’ve never met in person. It’s a long distance internet relationship. But it’s to the point that marriage is being floated, and they think it’s time to meet for real. A full week’s stay is organized.

And when they meet, it’s...not perfect. He doesn’t have the confidence and experience he had online. She has body issues or crippling shyness or any number of other complexes that really complicate things. They want to make this work, but for that to happen they have to at least be comfortable on the same room together. They have a week, at lest for now.

So Hot I Hope You Get Burnt
This one has more flexibility of who the characters are and where they are, but the relationship is volatile in both hostility and attraction. It could be (at first) something they both want, but it’s just as easy they’re exes or neighbors. But they end up in a cycle of snapping at one another and tearing off clothes. Not looking for nasty plots/truly unpleasant characters, dramatic situations or plots that have them more apart than together. Their situation is benign, the stakes low, what sets it apart is the friction of their personalities.

One idea I can think of that would fit: She’s the high school/college/office spoiled queen bee, attractive, popular, manipulative af and always gets what she wants. And she catches the new teacher/hire checking her out. She decides to wrap him round her finger like everyone else. And he returns fire twice as hard. He won’t give her what she wants, he only teased her, only lets her have a taste, unless she settles on his terms. She is furious and wants more. He wants to break her and can’t get enough.

Level Grinding
This idea works as either a love/hate or a dysfunctional but earnest romance. Our characters are the lieutenants of some fantasy villain. It could be set in a legitimate fantasy world, or (more fun to me), the dungeon of an MMORPG. Whether we are doing dastardly deeds or repelling players, that's all background noise happening off screen to the illicit romance. This setup allows for a variety of monsters or roles as character types, and fun secondary characters if that's an interest. Though I should say that I'm not too interested in playing truly Evil, morally repugnant characters.


If interested, please DM.
