BLs that Stay with You (1 of 2)

BLs that Stay with You (1 of 2)
BL & danmei (of all genres) that leave you with a paradoxical feeling of completeness and emptiness after finishing. 

Completeness because one or all of the plot, characters, romance, world-building, etc. are masterly fleshed out. Emptiness because you can't decide whether you want to stay a bit longer with the characters in their world, or rather, you know that the story has reached its resolution, and that this is where the art should end. <3 

TWs - at times, many of these novels can challenge comfort levels, but each work here truly does have the ability to leave you with an impression if read to completion (づ ◕‿◕ )づ
