[yaoi/bl] thinking they’re a replacement for someone else

BL stories that include themes of:
 • one partner thinking they are a substitute for the other’s love/crush 
 • one partner using the other as a substitute for their unrequited love (at first) 
 • usually including relationships of brothers or friends of the unrequited love 

note: all of these end with a happy ending, and most often with the character with an unrequited love falling for their new partner.
