Because all too often in clichê triangles, the second lead loves / cares for the mains way more (~unrequited for both) than they do in return & just isn't appreciated enough. Here will be exceptions! Mostly m/m, may include f/f. Also check out the first list too! ["Same-Gender Romances"] That one covers others that I ~wish fit here, but "bromance" itself doesn't count. Basically, the second lead shd at least be as *equally* important to the main, as their lead ship, in the canon media. ♡
