Have you tried Jeanette Winterson? She's not super tropey but I really like her writing, and some of her novels are SFF-like. From what I can remember: The Powerbook, Lighthousekeeping, The Stone Gods, Sexing the Cherry, The Passion and Gut Symmetries might interest you. I am pretty sure they all have FF.
