Real plot? In my BL? It's more likely than you think

Please, press the blue button.
BLs that can be enjoyed by people who don't care for BL, whose selling point ain't just the yaoi.
The original idea was to list stories that are like shounen except the MC is canonically into guys. 
I include here psychological, horror and seinen vibes, any BL where the romance is secondary, or the plot is good enough that the romance could have worked as a bromance if the author so wanted, or BLs that I believe even non fujoshis could enjoy them.
Smut present.

Hopefully it will go through with some actual plot although it IS romance heavy
Edit: I dropped so I can't vouch for this
