This piece of media is a classic you’ll enjoy whether it’s your first time or your dozenth! It’s a fascinating meditation on a single character that can really change your perspective on the world and how you interpret ideas. If you love non-binary characters, neurodivergent-coded protagonists, and innovative cuisine, you’ll love this work!

If you're looking for your next read, this is it. This ICONIC queer story has everything you could ask for: friends to lovers, rivals to lovers, fake dating, meeting the family, only one bed, and TONS of delicious yearning and miscommunication. Both of the protagonists are men of color and their cultures are deeply tied to the story, too, so their identities don't just feel like add-ons: they're an intrinsic part of the story! That sweet sweet slow burn is sprinkled with family hijinks and explorations of sexuality that always leave you wanting more. If you want a romantic read about two queer men of color beating the odds, this one is for you!

Do you like tragic friends to rivals to two-broken-men-working-together-but-they-can-never-go-back-to-what-they-were unrequited gay love (with so many breakups in between) and love triangles? A main character you can say is both a transmasc and transfem allegory in the most subtle yet unmissable way possible? Do you want a streamlined version of 100+ episode melodramas? You'll learn something about history and world theatre, but you might be too engrossed in how melodramatic and stylish the lead actor (fun fact the actor [RIP] was bi IRL) and the other two leads are.

i was looking through the recs that won round 1 and this might not be right because i haven't read it but rec #220 reminds me of dirty laundry (the klance fic)

Guess noted!
