I absolutely hate this trope, where love interests are in a friend group, and everyone, including: family, friends, random women on a bus stop, ships them, way before they realize their feeling for each other, or have the guts to confront about it. It just feels so respectless. So I would like to read the exact opposite of that. Something where they know the same people, and all their shared friends thinks they have a beef, while their secretely making out. Even better - if one character has a crush, but she completely doesn't know how to react to it, and so she acts cold, or mean, or something, and both her love interest, and all their friends are confused, on what's her problem with the other. Great if the other is just so sweet to her though. Would really appraciated some orientation play too - like, one is openly into girl, the other's not.

Anyone knows some books prefferable in fantasy, in which one character has sexual/intimate interactions(dont have to involve sex, can) with the more powerfull one, for other reason, then just liking her/finding her atteactive. Like some benefits? Could be completely toxic, where the one with more power is Blackmails the other, or half-toxic, in which less-powerfull seduces first, to better her situation, or something in between, Or even somethink, like, they are actually lovers, but lets others around them think it's interractional. Good example is movie "the favourite", or Blitzo and Stolas from "helluva boss" (though this one is obviously mm).

I would like some masc in fantasy(eventually historical, thriller), but that isnt described as overly mascular, or big. Just giving more boyish vibes. More like a twink man, then bear. - that is the only necessery part.

She doesnt have to be actually weak, can have just a normal body type, but that would also be nice - even if she had some kind of injury, that doesn't let her overstrain herself.

Would like her character therefore to be focused on other activity, then just physical fight for example - magic (that would be amazing) overall studying, maybe strategist, thieve.

Very appraciated, if for her personality, shes kinda mean? Like, her not really liking people. And still really smug and Determined. Maybe some evil vibes.

Oh, and good if her love interest where a bit bigger then her, even though she can be a fem.

So, I would like a fantasy with a masc - preferable soft masc, (for example wears herself masculine, but maybe some jewelery too) that does not focus on physical fights, but magic. And so that she's not be written, as overly strong physicaly character, or described as with muscles. Would want her to also be giving some evil vibes, and be overall smug. but she doesn't have to be actually bad. (Dunno, wearing dark clothes, acting all smug, sassy, impertinent, and maybe cruel. thinking of herseld as villain, overall antagonizing people)

Eventually, she could also not focus on magic, but other things demanding thinking, rather than physical activity - for example might be some kind of a thieve, or a strategist.

I got this idea becouse of Odile, in "treachery of swans"
