Might be ironic for my tastes, but overall I prefer the smoke rather than the fire. Female main characters only, but love interest can be any gender. To be clear I am fine with one or the other, I am not asking for a two in one 🤣
I don't really have much notes for the monster, just that regular guy with fangs or wings=/= monster.
As for the kidnapping, I'd actually prefer it be set in a mundane world, without any thing that feels like SA or forced (yes i know it can sound counterintuitive) . Hopefully, one where the FMC is the one that makes the first move but not required,. Vaguely in a western mood after playing Red Dead 2 with my partner, but any time period that's not sci-fi, is fine!

Hrm. There’s a number of Beauty & the Beast remixes that might answer; I’d recommend *In the Vanisher’s Palace* by Aliette de Bodard (loosely early modern Vietnam)
*The Misadventures of an Amateur Naturalist* by Ceinwen Langley (France, late 18th century or maybe 19th)
*Bryony and Roses* by T Kingfisher
You might also like Naomi Novik’s *Spinning Silver* if a frost fae who plans to end summer forever meets your values for monster. And there’s a fire demon also
