Self-Care for Sad Gays

M/M hurt/comfort books - ones I’ve read plus ones recommended to me in the r/MM_RomanceBooks subreddit. Most of these have pretty intense hurt because that’s my jam

I've never much liked hurt before, but I'm blowing through Never Let Me Go so fast and it's hitting so right. I'm doing 100+ pages a day and am starting to fear the withdrawal once the book ends. Good to know there's plenty more I can pick up after.
