Queer historical fiction where nothing terrible happens

I'm looking for books set before 1950 where the A or B plot follows queer characters who live, work, fall in love etc. and where I am better able to understand what being queer would look like in this historical context and where NOTHING SUPER TERRIBLE HAPPENS TO THE CHARACTERS.

I just finished White Houses (Love story of Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok) by Amy Bloom and I really enjoyed it. I also enjoy Sarah Waters. I want to read more books with queer characters set in not-the-present-day where nothing particularly terrible happens to them because of their gender or sexual orientation, but where I am able to better understand what being gay/lesbian/queer/loving people of your own gender looked like in this time period.

I don't care what the time period is or the exact form that the not-straight-ness takes as long a) it's not now, b) nothing too terrible happens e.g. no sexual violence directed at the characters, c) the writing is pretty good, d) the historical context matters to the story and life experiences of the characters.

Whaddya got for me!
