Anyone got recommendations for works that start with the protag having a break-up / being dumped and having to heal their emotional scars and learn to love again first, possibly being aided by the new love interest? The angstier the better.

Most yuri/yaoi that start this way have the lead forget about their past relationship (frequently a het one) so fast it makes you wonder why they even had it in the first place.

I prefer a short to medium length series and am not opposed to BL. I can deal with NTR if it is the reason for the break-up.

  • Aqua Blue Cinema
  • Dark Asterisk (but read Kimi Koi Limit first)
  • The Woman Next Door (by Takemiya Jin)
  • this, maybe?

Anemone is in Heat seems to be heading that way for one of the main pairings, but that one is about a rejected confession, not a breakup. Very angsty though, much recommended.

And while we're at this, would you be interested in some Yagakimi fanfic? This one is just about what you asked for.

One where the couple is married?

Doesn't matter if they got married before the story began, at the beginning, or in the middle, as long as it's not at the last chapter.

Isn't The Moon Beautiful

Technically married, but probably not what you're looking for due to how they got there and how the story develops:
Trying Out Marriage With My Female Friend
I decided to fake a marriage with my junior (♀️) to shut my parents up

You might like Wife and Wife. Technically not married, being set in a time where this just isn't possible for a lesbian couple, but otherwise considering each other wives anyway.

To help with that, is what you're looking for in the story:
a) The dynamic of a married couple, as in a story of a established couple that has settled with each other long term. At which point something where the character are not married on paper, but are for all intents and purposes would interest you.
or
b) The official statute of marriage itself being a prominent theme that is brought up and discussed or commented on in the story?

I was thinking of the latter, but I'll take the former too since I know the picking's slim. I like what I saw in Wife and Wife even though they're not legally married (though I don't think I can continue reading it since the art style creeps me out. It's those eyes man ^^" also the story and characters are a bit too CGDCT-y for my taste)

Okay that is indeed a very thight one.
In fact, can't think of anything on top of my head. And I'm not sure I've even seen that (aside from maybe one shots).
"Our journey to lesbian motherhood" is autobiographical, and thus pretty grounded. And it's about, as the title states, a couple becoming mothers so it might interest you.

Though it's not exactly what you're asking for, you might be interested in "Collectors" by Nishi Uko. Established couple and it's more grounded, not on the very moe cutesy side of things.
"The Two of Them Are Pretty Much Like This" by Ikeda Takashi also follows a couple, a bit cuter than Collectors, but not too much IIRC.

Hey Collectors looks right up my alley!^^ Too bad they don't actually get officially married but whatever, the dynamic is more imporant!

Any good slow burn stuff?

Preferably focused on adults rather than kids.

Adult slow-burns are kind of rare (for some incomprehensible reason).

These are the ones I can remember. Most are rather short, but they're pretty good.

Thank you for making me aware of this dearth of adult slow-burn gl fiction. I now consider it my moral obligation to write some myself.

Whoa that last one is literally cool bug facts

Yeah it sucks there's not a lot. Rather read about someone with a 9-5 and finding happiness in a increasingly unhappy world instead of petty school politics for the nth time

Idk if this is too niche but do any of you know any yuri where one or both of the girls have hair that's wavy/curly and has volume and/or texture? Like Nadeshiko from "Please notice me, Hinako-san!" or Kyougoku from "Nomura Nao and Kyougoku Hina" tyy

Was going to suggest Transistor Venus, but it's a very different style from the examples. (Might skip the first chapter, depending on what you're searching for.)

Revolutionary Girl Utena.

A classic but not quite what I'm looking for. Maybe if it had some texture aside from... straight thin hair.

Read a bit and this is really cute! Ty!

rather than being niche, it's not necesarilly something most will keep in mind. i knowi i've seen things with fluffy hairs a few times, but can't remember where on top of my head.

The sketchy artstyle might not do it, but maybe check Snake Woman and Little Miss Offering.

i'll post if i remember any.

From Touhou right? idk if there's a lot of yuri sfw (mostly) doujinshis about her but I'll check her out, ty!

Not a fan of "bullying" but this one gets a pass bc it's cute. ty!

Oh yeah totally. Still, it gets kinda boring to see the same straight hairstyles over and over again tehee.
I don't really mind a sketchy artstyle, if anything it's more endearing to me.
I would be forever thankful if you posted anything else that came to mind, thanks!!
