How do you write a lesbian relationship?

If you could recommend some literature that does it well or just tell me about some general pitfalls so I can avoid them.

A "lesbian" relationship or a lesbian relationship? 98% of all ostensible lesbian relationships are actually "lesbian" relationships, where one or more of the girls is just a straight chick who convinced herself she's gay either out of bitterness or because she thinks it makes her interesting.

The same you'd write any other + effects society would have on it, depending on your setting.

General pitfalls would be to focus on the lesbian part and add an unironical scissors scene.

This. Just as most gay men are abused as children and then fall into the 'protective' arms of an older man.

There are very few real LGBT people. Most are abused in some shape or form.

Same as a straight one. There's usually a "man" in a dyke relationship.

I'm pretty sure you'd get better advice from Reddit lol

Feels like heresy even saying that

Allison Bechdel. Sappho. Other stuff written by actual lesbians since they have the most clear perspectives.

A whole lot of arguing, fighting (physically), frustration and drugs

this and no happy ending ever

why do so many "lesbians" go for masculine looking men?

And let's be real here, in real life the only homos I've seen were in a relationship with men who looked like men, but every single lesbian couple has one ugly looking fat bitch with short hair and a million piercings

if you want a genuine answer, look elsewhere

write two people in love

Read some of Sarah Waters' earlier stuff. I personally recommend Fingersmith. Affinity is good if you prefer tragedy, and Tipping the Velvet is good if you prefer kinky shit.

I was raised by lesbians.
It was the same as any two parents. They were a little more hesitant to reveal the nature of their relationship though so until I was ten I thought I was living with my grandma and her room mate. They argued. Made up. One went to work. The other stayed home and cooked. They were boomers so they followed the boomer model of a heterosexual relationship, only they were old lesbians. Their identity politics wasn't that important to them, as long as people didn't get hostile with them over it.

I would add unironical scissors scene to demonstrate their purity and innocence washed away by a fierce wave of desire and arousal that makes them put their shaking fingers into each other's throbbing womanhood. Then Chad walks on them and reacts with "Damn gurls you so hot, but something's missing" PORN SCENE!

Honestly, I had trouble with this myself as a writer you tend to write what you know which for me is a female heterosexual mindset.

However, I simply learned to cope. Now granted my lesbians aren't the "in your face" "Look at how fabulously GAY WE ARE!!!" with them climbing over each other.I tend to write them having a more emotional relationship in public, smaller signs of affection in public, but the deep core of their relationship is that they love each other.

I'm still quite bad at writing homosexual relationships but I feel as though that getting good at writing believable emotional relationships first can make up for my failings elsewhere.
