I put together a list of sapphic publishers and authors who sell books directly to readers.
Note: This list is meant to give readers more option; it's not a call for a blanket boycott of Amazon since that would mean boycotting many indie authors.

I loved this. Working in a very trope-driven publishing sphere, it's absolutely as Jenny says finding an author who knows a certain trope and writes their own specific version of that scene or idea in a fresh way, which is quite different from much of the current romantasy trend.
"I can’t throw a rock in a bookstore these days without hitting five sprayed-edged romantasies where the girl has to reluctantly team up with a dangerous, sexy enemy..."
