Milo and Cameron are best friends accustomed to Milo oversharing about his BDSM lifestyle so it throws everything off when Cameron asks Milo to teach him. (Category is romance because structurally, that's the kind of story it is! It's about two people growing closer and more intimate, finding a relationship that works for them, but they are aromantic so it's a story about love, but not romantic love. It's about how strong and intimate relationships can be anywhere on the aroace spectrums.)
