Happy Valentine's Day, magic!<3 Here's a Hickmanvengers fic present for you: The Burning of Flowers
Lesbian/WLW recs: - The Half of It on Netflix! This movie isn't perfect, but it's sweet and it features a romance between two WOC. It's directed and written by a Chinese American woman, and the protagonist is a Chinese American teen girl. I especially love that this is a story that shows different kinds of love—self-love, love between family, love between friends, and romantic love—and emphasizes that they're just as important as romantic love! Aside from the Cyrano de Bergerac premise, I loved the way it dealt with Ellie's loneliness as both a lesbian and Asian immigrant and the ending is very fulfilling, imo.
- Killing Eve is very much enemies-to-lovers. I think people debate whether this counts as queerbaiting or not, but at least one of the main characters is bi and the whole story examines the mutual attraction between them and how that changes them and affects their relationships. Lots of UST and lots of cat-and-mouse suspenseful fun, at least for the first two seasons. Both Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer are brilliant in it as is Fiona Shaw.
