About this archive
Melodrama turns the feelings up on purpose. Coincidences, big reveals and dramatic reversals are used openly, and every emotion is meant to hit you right in the chest.
It is not a failure of restraint, it is a choice, and BL and GL do it beautifully. When the music swells and someone runs through the rain, you are supposed to feel it all. Expect secrets, sacrifice, misunderstandings and at least one tearful confession.
GL fans get a feast: Pluto, The Secret of Us, GAP and Moonshadow, each also as a novel, plus Fragrance of the First Flower, Uranus2324, Blank and Friendly Rivalry. On the BL side there are Fool in Love, Decoding You, Not Yours, Ticket to Heaven, Double Helix, the Fourever You Part 2 stories, the Filipino web series My Day the Series and Ben x Jim, and Vietnamese titles like Want to See You and Follow My Sunshine. My tip: start with
Moonshadow if you want GL that aches. Tissues in reach, always.
