nice list! to add, i highly recommend “bitten by the dog I abandoned.” definitely one of the best i’ve read when it comes to sexual tension. fl and ml used to have a master-servant relationship who are also obvs in love with each other but sht happens and now they’re enemies (like fr) and ml wants to take revenge on fl for abandoning him (even though we all know he won’t be able to do sht bc he still loves her lol) ANYWAYYY it’s not smutty and the romance is sidelined by the politics going on but i think that just makes things hit so much harder.
