The first story I believe I read on this site.
Young boy and girl are neighbors.
Girl has difficulty relating to boy due to childhood trama with man and then boy presents as girl and they enjoy playing with each other. As they become older their relationship deepens and they are content as lesbians.
Something causes one set of parents to move cross country (in later teens?). TG teen and girl reluctantly deceide that a long distance relationship will be too difficult for both. They stop communicating with each other.
The story moves on and the TG teen starts at a new college (maybe in CA?). They unexpectively meet at the student union or cafeteria (with their own dates in tow) and they immediately fall in love again. Their dates wander off together as the long lost couple reunite.
The second story I don't believe I read on BC.
Story is one of Dom and Sub romance. There is a large amount of abuse of the lovers. The story is long.
Young adult man meets young adult woman and they make love at woman's water front home. Young woman works as a professional Dom and their relationship deepens over time. Young woman has a dungeon in her basement and young man starts participating in dressing, submission and even helps with clients.
Young woman has a daughter that another woman Dom has custody of and uses the daughter as leverage over the young woman. Older woman becomes young man's nemesis.
Young woman has a professional gathering where she has to bring a submissive. Young man volunteers. Young man is abused at conference so lovers leave and that leads to further difficulties.
Eventually, the young lovers continue to try to work things out, and young woman is given more access to her daughter. I don't recall there was a tidy happily ever after ending, or if the story was actually completed, but I think it stopped on a hopeful note.

A French Twist by Mona Lisa
A French Twist by Mona Lisa is your first.
Can't help with the second
A French Twist has the ending I remembered
so that must be it, but I certainly had it mixed up with a different beginning. Thanks Lythande.
Beginning seems like...
...the ongoing story "Trials and tribulations of a girl(?)"
And, actually, about half a dozen other stories...
You're right
TG MtF, neighbor girl lesbian childhood romance could be a catagory itself.
I may be on the wrong track
but the second story reminds me of a story
Mother-in -law is no non-sense business woman, who uses immorral and unethical tactics to either take out or over her competition, she has an intense dislike or hatred for men, and is universily hated by all but granddaughter.
Son-in-law, promises wife who is on deathbed to follow heart, daughter is about 6years old, hearts desire is to be female.
Grandmother dies, granddaughter takesover company (21+ at this point), recieves call from 'Dad' who is trying to reconnect gets a stream of verbal.
'Dad' who is has been trying to transition in secret, because of restrictions given by Mother-in -law, the stream of verbal is the final straw and attempts suicide.
Daughter who only has vague memories of female parent and zoos, gets call about 'Dad' being in hospital from paternal aunt
Daughter visits 'Dads' appartment finds shrine to daughter in the shape of years of returned gifts and grandmothers hateful notes
The story you're referring to
is Learning The Truth by SarahUK but is definitely not the story Wendy is looking for.

Thanks Sammi, but I don't think that is the one
There was a tender romance element in the one I was thinking about between the two lovers that offset much of the abuse element that normally makes me quit reading this genre.
This kind of stories...
...are usually found on FM... About all of them... ;-)
Just joking. About 50% of recent stories on FM fit the description. (Joking again. But there are many stories fitting description on FM. And, FM has nice category and keyword searches.)
