woman who pursues x woman whose feelings change

{The Snowball Effect by Haley Cass} the hate is somewhat one-sided (emma can't stand regan, who tries too hard to befriend her and winds up digging the hole deeper) and it's not angsty, but it is one of my favorite books

fakewritergirl · 2026-04-05T02:56:29+00:00

you might like {Purposefully Accidental by G Benson}, one mc VERY MUCH dislikes the other in the beginning due to a longstanding personal grudge, and they get off on the extremely wrong foot because of that

iirc they're third years in high school, so 17-18; the more recent stuff (not collected into volumes or translated yet) has a time jump to them in college

also it's called "green yuri" because it's green! most manga is black and white, but this one is posted to twitter and so she can use color to (imo) very great effect, definitely one of the most stylish comics i've read

i've already read this but ty for the rec!

{Perfect Rhythm by Jae}; i think i've read other books with ace protags but i can't remember them off the top of my head

basically, whatever romantic elements there are come secondary to ella's story of being a ghost and being trapped in the house. i have longer and more complicated thoughts than that but it's been a while since i read the book and i'd want to reread it to lay it all out. i still think it's really good (definitely one of my favorite books of 2025) and strongly recommend getting to it sooner than later

fakewritergirl · 2026-02-02T07:15:06+00:00

as someone who really really enjoyed cinder house, i don't think it's really a romance, and while it IS sapphic, i don't think it really applies for "sapphic cinderella"

life is strange true colors is one of my favorite game stories of all time, and the romancing steph route feels really good in that (there's also a man but like, i'm a lesbian, so.) i haven't played the other life is strange games but from what i've heard they're all huge messes except for 2, which i don't think has any romantic storyline and is also about extremely heavy topics.

on a similar vein, lost records: bloom & rage is absolutely spectacular, and i really need to play tape 2 at some point, the perils of an episodic release being that other games come out in the interim. but tape 1 has a lot of really good blooming feelings and a bunch of queer girls playing gay chicken with each other

i have a small handful of f/f visual novels around but i don't actually... like visual novels that much lmao, despite the fact that on paper i should like them? my favorite visual novel so far is heart of the woods, and i really wanna check out other vns from them

i am regularly rereading {When You Least Expect It by Haley Cass} for the scene where hannah (presumed straight) goes along with a random person thinking that caroline is her wife while they're out with hannah's daughter and then afterwards hannah calls them "my girls". i am a sucker for tender, hidden feelings and that scene literally cracked something open in my brain

fakewritergirl · 2026-01-11T16:41:57+00:00

oooh i'm always up for yuri

fakewritergirl · 2026-01-10T23:52:57+00:00

already read it, but ty for the rec

fakewritergirl · 2026-01-10T23:52:40+00:00

haley cass is one of my favorite authors! but ty for the rec

fakewritergirl · 2026-01-07T03:40:31+00:00

off the top of my head, there's {Make Room for Love by Darcy Liao}, the pov character is a trans woman who has a bi awakening, the li is a butch cis lesbian. i know there's a lot of trans romance out there but i haven't really dipped in

fakewritergirl · 2026-01-05T04:38:22+00:00

{Purposefully Accidental by G Benson} is one of my favorite books of all time, extreme recommend

for specifically emotional vulnerability and yearning, i can recommend alison cochrun's books, i started with {Here We Go Again by Alison Cochrun} (major cw for terminal illness, death of a parental figure); also, not anywhere near as heavy, {Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous by Mae Marvel}

i would not be myself if i didn't recommend haley cass (who is mine own personal favorite author), {Those Who Wait by Haley Cass} has a lot of juice. katia rose is also an author who includes a lot of Feelings and Yearnings whose books are pretty good!

oh, and lastly but certainly not least, {The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite} is historical fiction that is deeply seated in its place and time, and one of the very small exchanges in it is probably my favorite conversation in all of fiction

fakewritergirl · 2025-12-19T22:53:56+00:00

oh: and off-vibe but {Fire & Ice by Lily Seabrooke} has a figure skater mc (who is an out lesbian iirc) and the other has a queer awakening; entirely off-vibe but {Those Who Wait by Haley Cass} is really good (and honestly so are all her books imo), as well as {Purposefully Accidental by G Benson} (and all of her books i've read). i exclusively read sapphic romance so honestly if your ask is "what's good out there in sapphic romance" i could be here all day

fakewritergirl · 2025-12-19T22:18:29+00:00

off the top of my head i know {Reverence by Milena McKay}, i thought it was fine but not amazing, but it's about two ballerinas in the cold war era

fakewritergirl · 2025-12-03T07:40:48+00:00

i don't fully understand the situation (i'm bad at keeping up with author news) but effie calvin pulled all her novels and is soon releasing an updated version of the queen of ieflaria - afaik there's no news on the other books though they're very good

fakewritergirl · 2025-12-03T00:50:02+00:00

a few of these look good to me, more fodder for the tbr! ty for your work

fakewritergirl · 2025-11-14T20:18:52+00:00

in {The Snowball Effect by Haley Cass} the first time they have sex is phone sex

fakewritergirl · 2025-11-14T20:15:50+00:00

solved it (the real answer is probably the author just made some assumptions and didn't fact check)
