Reading/Viewing Rec's?

It's that time again, when I ask for reading/viewing recommendations. The last time I did it, it brought me Banana Fish, so maybe I'll get lucky again:)

I'm looking for something, ideally, that I can wax fannish over, which typically means novel or series length, though X-Men: First Class is a recent exception to that--well, partially; it's got a lot of franchise behind it.

Things I like:
* Dark (but not hopelessly bleak) stories.
* Provisional (or gray) endings.
* A focus on deep human relationships with emphasis on the underrepresented ones: friendship, family, professional, random people interacting--or any mix of relationships where multiple relationships are presented as important (i.e. people have more than one person of importance in their lives).
* General avoidance of cliché (or doing it so well it ceases to be clichéd)
* Settings in other times, places, universes, etc.
* Dialogism: all important characters are allowed to speak from their own perspective. Or let's just say good characterization.
* Moral ambiguity or genuinely interesting moral problems.
* Slash or BL, mainly because it's more likely to hit the relationship points above.

Things I Don't Like
* Gender cliché (unless done very, very well)
* Donnean solipsism (A and B are in love, and everything else is reflected in their eyes--I can only think of two stories that really get away with this in a way that passes muster for me--Wuthering Heights and Mirage of Blaze: two of my fav's. Of course, WH is a giant critique of the whole thing on one level. And MoB is just... very complex).
* Stories about teen angst, unless done very well, like Buffy.
* Stories in which people's personal lives are the only thing that matters.
* Unvarnishedly happy endings

Any rec's? I'm happy to look at any medium: novels, long fan fic, anime, manga/comics, live action series...
