I've always enjoyed stories that get into the internal thoughts dialogue in a characters head--like how they might imagine an ideal romantic/intimate moment occuring as they watch their dream girl or guy from across a room, or even while they're trying to carry on a conversation with them while not sounding like a blithering idiot 
. It can really be exciting if they're desperately trying to keep their true feelings hidden because of the situation they're in.
I've always wanted to read a story where say there's a lesbian in a situation where it wouldn't necessarily be cool to be a lesbian--say a college freshman cheerleader around her straight fellow cheerleaders (in a story where she actually doesn't convert them all in 1000 words or less, or finds out its a secret "lesbian cheerleading squad"; no easy outs, she has constant fantasies about her friends on the team but is worried about how they'd react if they knew, comes close to accidently letting it slip out at times, etc...).
The same thing with perhaps a pledge to say a top academic sorority, who is joining for the connections and the experience but feels she has to keep that part of herself under wraps or be ostracized, and the fantasy life she leads thinking about her fellow pledges in the house.
I mean for all I know maybe someone has written these stories and I've just missed them, but I can't remember a long story or a series dealing with keeping that identity hidden and relying on the mental fantasy sequences and real emotions of the character as opposed to a happy-ending lesbian lovefest
