Romancelong term exploration of a messy yet endearing lesbian relationship beginning when they start dating and including how they fall in love
***While this one isn’t technically a romance, it does include a romance between the two women within a long-term exploration of their relationship together. I’ve really enjoyed reading this series so if you’re looking for a story that starts when most romances end (when the couple gets together) I recommend checking this out.
