Historical BL | Romance Is Everything (Updated)

I'm an indiscriminate shipper who sees romance everywhere. These are fully purchased historical BL stories I've recommended over the years. I love relationships between equals, and I judge stories by the prose, plot, and characters' brains. I'll flag a few things that might be dealbreakers; if nothing's noted, both leads are inexperienced.

What Am I Supposed to Ship If They Don’t Write Products? (Personal Use, No Reviews)

A no-holds-barred, anything-goes CP reader. I like handsome bottoms, but this list has every kind of story. I prefer self-indulgent tops and bottoms, and couples with great chemistry. If the protagonist isn't self-indulgent, why would I read it? See the comments for my dealbreakers.

An Archenemy Is an Archenemy, and You Just Can’t...

This is the kind of delicious, bitter love-hate relationship I want from an enemies-to-lovers story! I love the psychological shift from hatred to love. I don’t like stories that dress up a one-sided crush as a rivalry.

Bottom-Led Reading List | Historical and Western Fantasy BL

I lean toward the receiving partner in BL and mainly care about how he's written. I want the giving partner to make the first move. I'm not too bothered by pretty or idealized giving partners, as long as the author doesn't imply in the narration that they want to kiss even if it means dying together. Check the comments for trigger warnings.

Saving What I've Been Reading Lately

Stories from the Emperor's Point of View

Emperor enthusiast and protagonist enthusiast. The emperor is the dominant partner. Most are top-protagonist or no-CP stories; the few with bottom protagonists feature strong personalities too. There are romance, world-building, and conquest stories.
