2. A story where there's a big important destined bond of love or true love's power or something......... but it's platonic love, between a guy and a girl, and they win with friendship and never hook up or even want to
it's your typical sword art online setup with a main official couple and a group of spurned girls who hang around being jealous but the MCs just end up being tight bros with each other instead and the girl ends up dating her 3 new gfs and nbae
semirelated note the reason I'm so into RJ in paranatural is because not only are they nb but someone corrects someone else about it in the story, out loud
It's just a fantasy adventure story with dragons in and the destiny magic dragon soulbond is between two guys who are down to kiss each other right on the face
... All I'm thinking of at the moment (aside from the anime Symphogear, which doesn't have a kiss at the climax but ships the main gay couple pretty hard) is the "Republic of Heaven Community Radio" fic series by ErinPtah.
but then you round a corner and some straights are like "We're in love, romantically, and it gives us superpowers, and we're reincarnations of past straight lovers who also had superpowers"
on the other: I want it to exist in the mainstream public and not have to make it myself
