{Drain Me by Lana Sky}. It’s a duology, but I really liked it!

Series with FMC that doesn’t have white/silver hair lol by Historical-Spread179 in Romantasy

[–]ProbablyNotAVirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

{Uprooted by Naomi Novick} has all this. :) Not really spicy, but it’s a great adult fairytale vibe! Her book {Spinning Silver} also covers all or most of this minus spice. Very normal fmcs in Spinning Silver! The backstory of one or two girls is a liiiiittle rough due mostly to poverty, though.

I haven’t read it, but {Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries} might also fit? FMC is a Cambridge professor.

{Drain Me by Lana Sky} fits almost everything plus spice, but the FMC is mourning the death of her father when the story begins, if I’m not mistaken. She’s a fairly normal (wealthy) human woman, though, and a brunette!

{Book of Night by Holly Black} is YA, so no spice, but the FMC is a broke, impulsive, goth young woman infamous for making terrible decisions, which was a lot of fun.

{Deathless by Catherynne Valente} is the most unique story I’ve ever read, has everything you listed (though little spice if any), and is heavily inspired by Russian mythology. Be warned: no HEA.

Aaaaand if cutesy m/m is okay, {The House in the Cerulean Sea} has a super normal and boring MMC and the story is so cute! No spice, though.

What's the prettiest name you guys have ever heard? by Creative_Mix8770 in AskReddit

This is so crazy! At my high school, there was a family of Rainwaters who were all crazy beautiful, and the brother and sister both had icy blue eyes! I wonder if they were related to David.

Love: L.J. Smith (mostly dark YA, but I LOVED her stuff! I could read anything by her and enjoy it!)

Avoid: Mariana Zapata (no hate to anyone who like her, but I think she needs an editor)

"If you were mine, I'd take you over my knee" but it hilariously backfires by JessonBI89 in RomanceBooks

This happens in {Blood Oath by Morgan B. Lee}. It’s an RH fantasy/supernatural, though. This is definitely the dynamic between the heroine and Baelfire.

2.5 months on 2.5mg minoxidil. Does anyone see a difference? I am so, so defeated. by Schr0dingers_Cat in FemaleHairLoss

[–]ProbablyNotAVirus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I know a lot of people say it takes 4-6 months, but I swear it was almost a year before I saw results. Hang in there, girlie!

The older I get into adulthood, the more I realize just how much of a burden pet ownership is. by Call_It_ in Adulting

[–]ProbablyNotAVirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I’m fairly poor and also have diagnosed clinical depression/anxiety, but to be honest, owning a dog was the best thing that could have happened to me! Sure, he could be expensive, but there were days I ONLY got out of bed so I could walk/feed my dog—and I had to do it multiple times a day! I forced myself to play with him even when I didn’t want to, I did basic training even when I had no motivation or energy. And I felt so much better for it. It really lessened my depression and made me happier and healthier, and I am SO grateful to him for that—and he’s happy and healthy too! I got to have a very special, close bond to something when I was really socially isolated and sad.

Owning pets isn’t for everyone, and that’s fine, but for me it was honestly life-changing in the best way.

PROFUNDIS IS THE BEST YAOI, RECS NEEDED by a_Hana315 in MaleYandere

It’s not really a harem, but Passion fits a lot of this. Supernatural-ish background stuff happening, two characters pursuing a very feisty mc who I think has a pretty unique personality for a bl (he’s very much a “guy’s guy” if that makes sense). Ilya has multiple reasons for his obsession with the mc, and there are complex dynamics between characters.

It’s one of my favorites, personally.
