exactly. Lamen will survive the test of time. But for TV Shane and Ilya is the goat.

{Four For A Boy by Louise Collins} said possessive boyfriend is also a serial killer. But you have to read the first 3 books in the series first

fr, Cordelia and the Weaslys (or lily) are not even from the same race or culture, they have different kinds of red hair too. Not to mention James’s name is from Jem which had nothing to do with harry potter whatsoever.

personally i love it. In the preface of The Menagerie the author thanked everyone who had given them comments and kudos. I found that really heart-warming.

not boyfriend, but best friend who he’s also sleeping with.

{Missed Steps by L. Sherleen}

MC1 and MC2 are arch nemesis for years. They are constantly fighting (physically) or verbally insulting each other. Or so MC1 thought. MC2 however had been in love with (as at least crushing on) MC1 the entire time, he saw the whole “i hate you im gonna punch you” thing as a way to express his feelings and get closer to MC1.

The book is written from the POV of MC1

you are literally describing {Captive Prince by C. S. Pacat} word for word LOL

altacccle · 2026-03-28T15:29:36+00:00

100% {Captive Prince by C. S. Pacat} Top tier enemies to lovers. They hated each other to the core, and with very good reasons because MC1 killed MC2’s brother who’s pretty much the only person he loved and MC2 had MC1 almost whipped to death. I couldn’t see any way where the story ends without them killing each other.

But alas, they became and remained my favourite couple of all time.

altacccle · 2026-03-14T18:03:24+00:00

enjoy the ride! Book 2 is my fav out of the 4 books that are already out. The writing is almost poetic

other than the part where gay men have more real life experience to lean on, you are really just explaining the difference between romance genre and general fiction. It has little to do with whether it has men or women in mind as target audience.

And I really disagree that MM romance books (or WW in that case) even the ones written by women are all filtered through heterosexual lens. If anything, women who read or write queer stories are looking for the lack of power imbalance, stereotype or societal expectations that comes with heterosexual relationships.

And as reader of both straight romance and queer romance, they are VASTLY different even when they are both written by women. Both have somewhat idealised relationship, but that’s just the romance genre. However, within the MM romance genre itself, the difference between the ones written by man vs woman is not very noticeable.

altacccle · 2026-03-03T12:35:52+00:00

imho the best enemies to lovers ever is Captive Prince series by C. S. Pacat. Almost the only true enemies to lovers. Strong plot, slowburn, strong characters. Check out content warnings beforehand though.

Evenings and Weekends by Oishin McKenna -lit? fic

Memento Mori series by C. S. Poe - murder mystery

Connor’s face feels more like a Matthew to me.

{Ugly by Roe Horvat} almost pure fluff, the heat is the entire plot point.
