It's an admittedly big gamble, because it's another fanfic attempt at an OC that gets into a rather dangerously close relationship with a character that has an apparent canon love interest in the source material's latest installment. I'm planning this as an alternate events outcome, aka what if things went wrong in canon. The protagonist(who in canon, has been ported into our world and lived here for some time, but went back to his world to settle unfinished business of sorts) gets teleported in this Genius Loci island of sorts in our world that takes in troubled otherworldly young men and traps them in it until they solve their problems thru the "property owner", my OC. Yes, I know that made my OC sound like a Manic Pixie Dream Girl, but that's part of the condition/deal that she gets to agree upon with the island if she's to keep her property on it. It has certain....alternate-dimension mechanics that allows one to stay on it for as long as they want and still come out of it at the exact same time that they arrived, except for the otherworldly guy who's unfortunately stuck on the island until it decides that it's time for him to leave and opens a portal for him. So the protagonist does stay on this island for more than a year with my OC and her help, and at one point something close to a sexual encounter did happen, but it was only a device for the protagonist to realize his feelings for his apparent canon love interest.

He does leave, and I plan to write two alternate continuities depending on whether the canon will make the relationship between the protag and his love interest actually canon, or actually having to kill her off. For the first, I was planning to make the protag and his leading girl meet up with my OC, they'll talk about things and end up with the Protag and the canon leading girl actually consummating their relationship. With the second, I'll have the protag become a drifter in our world and go thru lots of things before meeting up with my OC and actually having a relationship with her.

And oh, the OC is a 35-year-old businesswoman and the protag is a hundreds-year-old demon whose registered Earth age and appearance is 20.

Any suggestions for what you could make out from this, and how I can keep the OC from wandering into Mary Sue territory?
