Tensura fanfic, ship is Rimuru x Milim
>Rimuru looks young but is actually middle aged
>Milim looks young but is thousands of years old
>novel version of Milim is a fascinating character concept that's difficult to understand because she's full of contradictory traits; a genius who doesn't think, worshipped as a god yet severely neglected, the daughter of the world's creator yet known as The Destroyer, sadistic and violent yet affectionate and caring
>anime adaptation just makes her an annoying child
>people now think of her as an annoying child and thus you cannot ship her with a former middle aged man
Honestly half the reason I wanted to do this fanfic was just because no one's ever done Milim justice as a character, even the author of the novels barely made use of her past the 6th novel despite her becoming the ruler of a massive empire unifying the territories of multiple demon lords.
The shipping stuff was just an afterthought because romance is always my favourite part of any story so I thought I might as well
