>>3997109ive been readingg some oldie goldies,,,,,, one which ive not seen mentioned almost at all anywhere is robert musil's confusions of young Törless,, its quite brutal and not fluffy nor romantic but considering it came out in like 1906 or something, the homosexual academia sadism and rape is quite graphic,,, def for fans of e.g. Mishima's Martyrdom and the like
im currently reading Friedrich Hölderlin's Hyperion and it has a chapter near the beginning describing a passionate gay romance, it's non sexual but immensely emotional and it really is a beautiful chapter,,, book is from the late 1700s too so it feels quite special,, emotional outbursts and displays of affection and breakupdrama befitting of the most delightful older shoujo BL,,
