I love, and would like to read more stories with a dark heired girl groomed to be/ Think of herself as a villain, and a Light-haired, loved, and caring character who sees something different in her, and gives her hope.

The example of stories I’m talking about is:

• A dark and drowning tide - Alison Saft
• malice - Heather Walter
• a Treachery of swans - A.B. Poranek
• Fable at the end of the world - Ava Reid - but in this one heir colour is reversed
• I also Think a dark and hollow star, by Ashley Shuttleworth, has elements of that. Hair colour is also different.
• there’s also Carry on - by Rainbow Rowell, and Dark rise - by C.S. Pacat, but those are mm.
• I’m pretty shure I’ve seen some short animations on tick tock, of some autor writing romance beetwen medusa, and a blind priestess, that could also match, but I dont know, is it a book, a WEBTOON, and does it already exist at all.

I hate the thrope in which everyone, including family, friends, random woman on s bus stop ship main characters, way before they actually get together. So I would like to read the excact opposite of that. Something, where both characters are in a same friendgroup, but everyone things they don't really like each other, while they're just being Awkward.

Even better, if one character is having an awkward crush on the other, and everyone, including love interest is confused on why she has a beef with her, while she just don't know what to do.

Would really appraciate some orientation play too - like one's openly lesbian, the other's presumably straight.

SO I’d like some Lesbian romance with a princess, but the other characters being some kind of magician - even better dark magician - rather then a knight or peasant. Some fairy tale vibes appraciated.

The best if a magician where main characters, and was playing along with all the evil assumptions of her, but actually wanting people’s approval, and the princess seeming delicate, and sweet, but having a surprising side to her.

it could also be with a thieve, rather then a magician, as long as she relies more on the tricking people, and cunning plans, then just fighting.

books with it

• „Malice”
• ”a Treachery of swans”
• ”a gilded crown”
• „Jasmine throne”

I would really like to get some reccomendations matching those.

Necessery

There’s a masc girl/women and another girl/women has a crush on her.

Optional (but would like if about at least two or three of them appeared. The more the better)

• Masc is completely oblivious about crush. Maybe for example thinks the other’s straight.
• Masc is ”straight” herself, or in closet. That’s could actually be a development to point above, but I would really like if it was specifically that, so I put it in another point. It can work alone too - she knows the other has a crush, but is shure she’s not into girls anyway.
• Prefferable a soft masc.
• Fem being a bit dominatting/aggressive? Or having crush for some time, and deciding „fuck it, im taking matters in my own hands.” Would be Good if therefore there where some spicy or sugestive scenes showing it.
• Masc being introverted/quiet/not good with people/closed of/havin a low self-esteem/in a bad situation
• Maybe rather fantasy, historical, drama, or toxic, then sweet slice of life. Am open to a sidelined romance

other (comments)

• I’m actually open to masc for masc, where the other masc takes the role of a fem in this scenario. Open to nonbinary characters, as well.
• I only read somethink like that in a WEBTOON - „not so shoujo love story”
• open to other media as well.

I woul like to read something, where :

- both characters are fighting, with some kind of weapon

- I would like it to have enemies to lovers, or those in a different Order.

- open to more important fantasy plot, and sidelined romance, as well as sidelined fantasy, and romance as main plot.

Like in the title. I'm looking for a book where both characters are fighting with some kind of weapon. They don't have to be masc - althought they can. Open to other mediums too - for example webtoons.

About the story outside the romance - I like things heavy on politics, and/or drama, and obviously the content of post suggests fantasy (I like it too when fantasy is more important then romance plot) but would take anything.

Would like to read some wlw with villains, axcept I don't like mascfem where masc is a villain, and femme's an innocence lamb. I'm not that thrilled about the alternation in which they're both tachnicaly femmes, but that dynamic looks more or less the same, where one's just dangerous, have all the power, and the other just plays a typical femme role. And I just enjoy unpredictable takes on this kind of tropes, and dynamics. For example, would like:any kind, where both are villain, veery much if femme's a villain, and masc a hero, and any kind of unpredictiveness and not stereotypical in gender presentation and expression. Oh, and I love masc for masc.
