Looking for 50k words or more. I'd prefer fantasy or science fiction, with strong elements of either (if fantasy) magic, or (if scifi) technology and a multi-planetary setting.
I would like the MC to meet someone who they have the wrong idea about(they fear them, hate them, a power dynamic, something like that), then they BOTH fall in love with each other. They are unexpectedly separated. MC searches for the person for so long that he/she is driven mad and becomes bitter and otherwise a different person(though not so different that the love between them dies).
Would prefer that they either find each other long before the end to allow for more story to unfold between them, OR that they don't find each other at all. Not really interested if they find each other right at the end.
P.s I like hero-type MC but am open to others. I'm a sucker for sad or bittersweet endings. I'm also a sucker for taboo things like different SENTIENT species relationships(dragon-human, example). Open to adult themes and sensitive content.
