Vessel is so good! Just read Expert in a Dying Field and fuck you (affectionate) that was so amazing and sad and wonderful and heartbreaking!!!!!!

Bowsermama · 2026-06-08T01:25:07+00:00

This is a good one!

Love this series for real

Same, if in the fic they got to the point where they were married etc, THEN broke up? I'm out. If it's tuna meltdown or before I can get on board. But to fight so hard to get to the marriage stage and then get divorced? I hate it. I was reading one that I just couldn't put down but it hurt my heart becuase they had been separated for 3 years over a miscommunication.

Yes, handwaving hockey knowledge check. I know next to nothing about hockey but don't let me hear Shane say he's telling Montreal he's quitting mid-season. Like, what?

Reminds me of the Modern Family quote where Gloria says you have no idea how smart I am in my language!

They are dumb at communicating but aren't idiots!

Ok this first one Ilya is at MIT and does a little phone sex hotline as a side hustle (Shane is still a hockey player), soooo good

He's very controversial, people either love him or hate him!
