The cliché plotline for stories involving brothels usually have aspects like duty and poverty and difference in class add the angst factor but no, this one is special. This is quote unquote painful to read because of the tragedy in each character's past, giving them depth and life to readers. I have high hopes for this, and I'll look forward to Phi and Apollo's relationship development.
CONSENT!! because apparently that's hard to find in the BL community. Divorcee gets together with a recently single (heartbroken) man via underwear... dropped from an apartment window. They have an age gap, but it's not one to consider inappropriate seeing as they're both ADULTS which is how these should work. The description came off sus but this is actually really sweet and wholesome and I cried out of the sheer fluff of it. 11/10 would read again
