Very niche but here we go 😂. Romantic 19th century Russian literature?

So my favorite author is Dostoyevsky. I loved Crime and Punishment and loved the teeny dose of romance between Rodion and Sonya. I’m currently reading War and Peace by Lev Tolstoy and I just find it really cute how Nikolai is so enraptured by Aleksandr I and think it’s a little homoerotic (I’m gay and I also know Tolstoy was a little… ambiguous on his sexuality to say the least). So, can anyone recommend some more romantic Russian novels?

It can be written at any time but preferably taking place in the 19th century. Not necessarily looking for smut (I wouldn’t really expect it from something written during that period). I’ve been meaning to get to Pushkin, who I’ve heard wrote some more romantic stuff but I haven’t done the research to decide on what to read. Also doesn’t have to be homoerotic/gay but bonus points if it is.
