I need help trying to find a novel that follows any form of relationship, like friends or lovers with two people that are truly unhinged. I'm talking Killing Eve style or Hannibal style these two contain each other levels of weird behavior and obsession with the other person.
Any genre works but I am looking to avoid any erotica just out of personal preference and I am looking to avoid a singular character study. A lot of times my frustration comes from having a pair where one person is the obviously more obsessed one or the outlier.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate any recs.

Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, perhaps? It is very kinky, but there are no explicit sex scenes, per se. The two characters are very unhinged with unprecedented levels of obsession from Severin, especially. It’s not completely mutual, though. I personally found the prose to be beautiful and very philosophical as well.
