For a college setting with a lot of team dynamics and that 'found family' feel, 'The Foxhole Court' series by Nora Sakavic is... well, it's a beast. It's not a traditional romance—it's dark, violent, and obsessive—but sports (Exy) and team bonds are absolutely central. The relationships are deeply twisted and codependent, and the locker room is just another battleground.
It's not a sweet coming-out story. It's a story about trauma and belonging, where the line between teammate and something more is dangerously blurred. Not for everyone, but unforgettable.
