I'm a little overexcited so this is not a very short comment but small fandoms! my life!
FANDOM NAME: Marco Polo WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Period piece not set in Europe, for one (it's about Marco Polo in the court of Kublai Khan, but really mostly about the court of Kublai Khan). Lots of beautiful people and good ships, including one briefly canon f/f ship and a lot of slashy subtext between Prince Jingim and Marco himself. And a lot of moral crises and political intrigue. WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): Netflix.
FANDOM NAME: Kado: The Right Answer WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Mostly the really slashy alien/human ship? It has two main moods--cheerful exploration of "what would happen if a really powerful alien met humanity?" and dark yandere stuff, and frankly I'd love to see more dark fic for it but it lends itself well enough to lighter pieces as well. WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional):Crunchyroll, or wherever you watch your anime.
FANDOM NAME: Kakegurui WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Insane gambling shenanigans at one of those unbelievable high schools paired with a ton of les yay. (...it can be kind of male-gazey but I think it's worth it for the femslashiness.) WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): Netflix
FANDOM NAME: Two Faces of January WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Well, the novel version is by Patricia Highsmith, who also wrote the novel version of Carol (The Price of Salt), and it's very suspenseful. I mostly enjoyed the movie version for Oscar Isaac and Viggo Mortensen playing mind games. WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): I watched and read it via Hoopla Digital, but at least the book is common enough that I bet you could get it through a library.
FANDOM NAME: The Alpennia series by Heather Rose Jones WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: It's basically a series of lesbian fantasy books set in a sort of regency setting. Very plotty, also lots of femslash and an interesting magic system. I've only read the first book and I already recommend it without qualms so yeah, it's good. (and if you only read the first book, I would still write fic for you.) WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): Library possibly, or if not Amazon or Ebay.
