Okay but this is one of the best things about gay love stories (besides the obvious).  They’re fucking novel no matter what the plot is.  

Star crossed boyfriends from families at war?  WHO’D’A THUNK.  

Battle couple lesbians out risking their lives together and making tearful confessions of love at wildly inopportune moments?  WHOA NELLY THAT IS SOME INTERESTING SHIT.  

A prince who gets his ass saved by a random street rat with a rakish smile and a secret past?  OH MY GOD IS IT GONNA BE OKAY?  

A lady thief and the much put-upon FBI agent chasing her down?  ARE THEY GONNA KISS????
