^ That sounds awfully like some h-doujinshi. My curiousity got the better of me and I can confirm it is a doujinshi, but it was Hitoe, not Hanayo.
And don't listen to the hecklers, folks, WiXoss is an upbeat and wholesome mahou shoujo show, just like Puella Magi Madoka Magica! (Seriously though, the anime is made of angst, featuring, in no particular order, murder, attempted murder, suicide, kidnappings, abuse, bullying, neglect, blackmail and loads of girls in need of therapy. If a 4 cour PMMM/YGO crossoverfic sounds even remotely interesting to you, try it. Once past the unrequited het twincest crush revealed in the first episode, there's plenty of yuri (mostly toxic, sometimes bittersweet) waiting for you!

^ You confused them with somebody else. Rumi is Urith, and Sachi is Hanare. You're thinking of Yuzuki who has a crush on her twin brother Kazuki which is apparently one-sided and played solely for angst. There is no threesome and he doesn't even appear later on in Lostorage.
Then again, if you're looking for angst in this (be warned), Rumi is clinically a psychopath. She tortured animals as a child, has no remorse, is manipulative, very charismatic, devoid of emotional reactions, and tries to rizz up every girl she comes across.
Oh my, I didn't realize people take offence to absence of brevity here (as opposed to chapter comments). Sorry.
And yeah, looking through the list of pairings ... some didn't even stop at one assassination attempt.
^ To my understanding, "Yaoi" refers to female-targeted M/M manga, whereas those intended for a male audience are "Bara". (I think; this is probably a sweeping generalization.) There's no such distinction for F/F manga afaik, so you get more interactions/clashes between himejoshi and himedanshi sub(sub)fandoms and their respective expectations, like drama over shipping mortal enemies with another.
Again, greatly abstracted, but I believe the former have a higher tolerance for emotional "complexity" and the latter for sexual "spectacle". Perhaps it's just my own bias, but the toxicity in fanworks is just so much more intricate when targeted at women. Male-targeted works can be just as depraved and offensive (if not worse) but tend to ignore the multidimensional context around the abuse. Or, in regards to smut, to misquote from a 1991 comedy western: "Men just need an [opportunity] to fuck, women need a reason".
To apologize for broad strokes again (hat-trick!), the first author who comes to my mind when it comes to "exaggerated porn which never explores its scandalous setting" is Pandacorya, who is apparently a woman. Maybe my entire point is just me being swamped in the very gender stereotypes I despise so much...
Uh, quick, midriff! Genshin Impact certainly has a lot of it (probably because outside of sheer lingerie, everyone just gets halves of a set) on both guys and girls. Though on the topic of Genshin Yaoi I can't but notice how they've be dialling back the amount of husbandos released, down to 3 out of 18 within the last year. I'd much prefer men being released in lockstep with women (like in HSR) instead of becoming a bishoujo game paying mere lip service to having playable men.
On the topic of backlash in yuri vs yaoi: It's worth considering that yaoi shipping is (sadly) a predominantly female demography, just like fan fiction, whilst yuri is more gender neutral. And guys can't have what women like, no no no, that's intrinsically cringe.
I can recall criticism of Redo of Healer, but it was quickly shot down the same way men drown out every female objection: by being louder. Emancipated woke feminazis ruining everything, fr. I guess himejoshis are too well-behaved to "win" whilst fujoshis don't get into any crossfire from their negligible male counterparts.
For the sake of not coming of entirely misandrist, I should mention that when shipping, you need to expect storms, embargoes, piracy and even all-out naval warfare. 'Tis the way of fandoms. Amen.
On the topic of Aether: I still can't fathom how Mihoyo could throw away the absolute gold they would've had if the siblings simply swapped outfits. Instead we got legally distinct Gerudo Link and a healer unit from Fire Emblem you get when all the named chars have died. (If you disagree, look up Sorey's Armatization forms. Midriff Lumine should be obvious.)
So, the tables are arranged in rows of 4. There are 13 girls here, so assuming they all belong to the same class and that we see most of the room, this leaves us with 16 pupils, working out to 8 couples.
Clearly, this is just the embarrassment of your gf being sick/to late for kissing classes and them starting without you.
