games: FF7 cloud/sephiroth goes crazy especially in the newer games (FF has a lot of yaoi in general). Tales of Vesperia's main two boys are wonderful. Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth from the Ace Attorney games. Week 2 of The World Ends With You. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk surprised me with its toxic yaoi though it only really kicks in later in the story. I liked Thanatos and Zagreus in Hades. i'm probaby forgetting some stuff haha
anime: Code Geass, Death Note, Haikyuu, Banana Fish, Evangelion. rose of versailles counts for me. come to think of it i haven't really seen a ton of anime w/ yaoi themes.
lastly i wanna drop suzuri ryo's porn comic MADK which might not be for everyone but checks off like 800 of my boxes. insanely good and unhinged art, no one else is making smut like that
i'm 3 episodes from finished with Tiger and Bunny and adding it to this list. the main ship has a lot of texture and depth to it and then an evil ship appeared in the last arc that made me rub my tummy and lick my lips.
there is one character i was rolling my eyes at but hes only around for like 2 episodes, other than that i think it's a pretty fun show. washed up older (My age-ish btw lol) well-meaning-but-kinda-bad dad superhero x cool new groomed for television twink who has the same powers is a fun dynamic to start with and it develops a lot over the series
