modern fantasy Longterm, slow-burn romance with fantasy to spice it up [F for M]

Not my first post around me, but if you don't know me, name's Daphe, and I play a variety of things! Right now, I wanted to inquire about my latest craving, which is:

long-term romance stories with a lot of drama and fantasy twist

I like smut in my roleplays, of course, but here I am looking for slower build up to sex scenes, as well as decent amount of flirting / growing closer / and so on. It depends on stories and pairings, too, of course, but basically, I don't want to jump straight into the smut. And exemption of that could be if MC tried to get something from YC and chose sex as a tool to achieve that -- but the build up for 'love' or 'falling in love' should still be slower.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ Couple of things I adore *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

✦ enemies to lovers

✦ mythology (I lean into greek, but don't mind others)

✦ 'unlikely pairings' aka people who usually dont get together, thrown together by the cruel hands of fate and against or odds falling for each other

✦ dom/sub relationship to an extent -- I dont do extremely strictly ones, but I do like the power imbalance, especially if there is a proper reason behind it

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ Modern fantasy *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

I wanted to specify what I have in mind when I mention that.

It is basically the world as we know, but with fantastical creatures living among the humans, usually in hiding to an extent. Sure, there are places meant for them exclusively, but I do like a whole part of shape-shifting or use glamour spells so that humans wouldn't notice anything weird. I love playing demonesses, goddesses, and even creatures like dragons or pheonixes -- all hybrids of sorts.

I actually have two beloved characters that fit into that world:

The grumpiest dragoness you would ever meet. She pulls herself far away from society, she has her little hideout, and doesn't care for others. She has a collection of trinkets that remind her of good times, and manages to live on her own. But she is still consider a wise creature and those who seek her advice manage to find her. To her dismay, of course.

Phoenix lost in time, and cursing her immortality. Once involved in Empire in Asia that is lost gone, now she goes through the world with no family or friends, and only memories. At times wishing she was a human who's existence could end... still, her life is a never-ending cycle, and her days are not as calm as she would wish as many want to capture her, for her tears and feathers.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ Final Thoughts *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

I am not opposed to going back in time for the fantasy-themed stories, but I usually don't want to play just a human, and I do not enjoy typical 'go on adventure together' kind of plots. I want something unique and with potential for drama, preferably playing fantastical creatures -- elves, dragons, hybrids, nymphs, fairies, the list goes on, for our characters to find love amongst their struggles, to find love in place they wouldn't expect it at all.
