I'm thinking Rumple from OUaT. I'm thinking Snape fanfictions. I want romance with a love interest that has a redemption arc. NOT a villain romance where we learn to accept him for being bad/toxic (ACOTAR), but like the love interest genuinely changes (think Beauty & the Beast). Doesn't have to be a villain (but those are probably the most straight forward). I'm specifically looking for heterosexual couples (not necessarily cis, tho), but I would be fine this this post was used for other queer, romance w/ redemption arc recs for people who want those.
BONUS if it's smutty.

Morning Glory by LaVyrle Spencer – the male lead has just been released from prison for murdering someone when the book begins and enters into a marriage of convenience to help a recently widowed young mother with another baby on the way.
