Here's the first part!
As we know, every story needs a title!
I see so many oneshot books where the title is like, "part 1" or the ship name of the duo their doing!
That's great and all, but I personally find it a bit boring? My chapters all have a title that directly tie into the story! Be it a quote, or a title that fits the scenario.

Examples:
"You're my one and only"
A direct reference to the beginning of the story where Veggetta assures foolish that he is in fact not cheating on him.

"We're in you're office!"
A direct reference to when Badboyhalo expressed his worry to Forever about being caught before they fucked in Forever's office.

As you can see, All my titles directly connect to the stories I write.
To me this helps set the mood!
As for the information bit, I always include whose the dom, whose the sub, A CW, and an Epilogue!
I find adding a paragraph or so from the story as the epilogue really helps captures the readers attention!

Another thing I do is I use very descriptive and/or explicit images from various different BL/yaoi mangas and just Pinterest.
Pinterest is my best friend /J.

Example:

As you can see, the art is definitely, uh, gay

And horny.
And unholy.
I find that subtlety NSFW art makes for the BEST cover images because it makes the reader do a double take to really appreciate the art work! :D
