Thanks for your thoughtful response. I haven't been much interested in romance, natural or supernatural, so far. Might be that kind of story not lining up too well with my own demiromantic orientation, even though I understand that many (most?) people are different from that, and as a result are drawn to stories that align with their experience. Or just that I didn't feel like I was missing anything by not having any kind of life partner and not feeling any lack. Life is different now, and probably an improvement overall.
You are right on about the kind of story I'm after. As far as gender binarist leanings, I'm not especially bothered by that. I freely acknowledge that "man" and "woman" are valid gender identities, and that lots of people do well by categorizing their own and their partner's/partners' gender identity that way. It's just not how I think.
I've heard good things about His/Her Magical Pet. In fact, someone else in my circle squeed recently about getting a story in one of those.
I'll check out your recs, and look you up if I decide I want to check out some of your acquaintances' stories. Thanks for passing them on.
