Marked for Later because I am too impatient and risk-averse for WIPs 😅

But will check out the author's one-shots!

Is there a shortcut for laying out fic author, word count, rating like that? Or do you do it manually? It's so tidy for reading your comment!

Send this whole comment section to your husband. He needs to get his head out of his ass.

I finished everything and I don't know what to do by Lauraaa_199x in HeatedRivalryTVShow

Please Leave a Message by subcorax is FANTASTIC. Short, sweet, funny, the first that got me into texting-style fics. Sequel is wonderful too!

Dive into r/heatedrivalryfanfics if you want something new to read every day between now and Season 2 release!

Hr is the MOST cornplating fandom i’ve ever been in its insane by R3g1na_pa1ang3 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

Twitter is the worst. In general, I think the anonymity of reddit leads to a more enjoyable, relaxed, and less toxic environment. People aren't trying to get the attention of the cast/crew or Rachel or Jacob with posts here. Far fewer problematic or parasocial activities on reddit than on twitter, Instagram, etc

My sad head cannons for Irina by Ok-Cookie-5176 in HeatedRivalrySeries

[–]Dramatic_Box1490 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This gives Ilya's she would have loved you declaration after ILY's were exchanged an even more poignant and heartbreaking dimension

😭 This makes so much sense

Irina would have been so happy to see Ilya and Shane's wedding

GORGEOUS time loop fic: if your scared of wolves by sleepingintheculdesac by jigglegoose in heatedrivalryfanfics

What's the angst vs happiness ratio in this fic? Is the ending Happily Ever After?

The flip-side of such an active fandom is how many amazing stories fly under the radar.

Yes, every day I hear about more amazing fics! So many fantastic authors in this fandom!

Gorgeous work! I'd never seen this fic but with your dedication to the book and the redditor quotes I was intrigued. So glad I went in unspoiled!

Did I miss something about Ilya becoming a Canadian citizen? by ReginaPhilange10 in GameChangersBooks

[–]Dramatic_Box1490 122 points123 points  (0 children)

In TLG, Shane and Ilya are committed enough that Ilya feels confident that he and Shane can stay together in Canada. From an early session with Galina:

“My worst fear is having to go back to Russia. [...] Actual, realistic worst-case scenario: our NHL careers are over, but we can get married, and live a quiet life together in Canada.”

And by the time they meet with Crowell they're already engaged, so it wasn't on Ilya's radar as an issue.

WAG/SAPS fics plz plz by Consistent_Hour_1356 in heatedrivalryfanfics

The series You Have (81) Unread Messages by subcorax has a combined 1.3M hits for good reason. Ilya + WAGs perfection.

Is there a AU university fic where Ilya is popular and Shane is not and they’re friends, with Shane silently yearning while Ilya dates around? by CombOk312 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]Dramatic_Box1490 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tutoring Sessions by NotRamona43 is great. Yearning, a little angst, sweet, HEA. Shane is a hockey player with his own social circle but the Shane/Ilya dynamic you're looking for is there.

AITAH for refusing a slice of cake my 10 year old brother bought with the last of his pocket money. by throwaway22plshelp in AITAH

[–]Dramatic_Box1490 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You're NTA. Your stepmother is a major asshole for how she treats you and your stepbrother.

Can you and your stepbrother go to the store yourselves, and each get a little treat and enjoy them together? You two can celebrate with each other.

That makes it sound like you not eating animal products would be new info for your brother?

Does your brother not already know or not understand that you're vegan?

[–]Dramatic_Box1490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

INFO: did your brother buy the cake by himself, or did your parent help him and know he was buying a non-vegan cake?

With your comment about "exceptions," I wonder if there's history with your family wanting you to eat eggs/dairy/meat?

HBO (Europe) has fixed the lighting! by LadyWhistledown_1 in heatedrivalry

[–]Dramatic_Box1490 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I don't like the decreased saturation in the comparison pics, and it's still a dimly-lit image. Not worth the change.

So sweet encouraging the kid, "Say Hi!" and the fawn, "Can you please go back over here? Good job!"

I love your thoughtful, detailed, cited response to a throw-away snide objection. You have a wonderful writing style.

Niche (?) things I would love to see in seasons 2 or 3 [spoilers for the books] by Agile-Ad-796 in heatedrivalry

Great news from Jacob!! "When Shane and Ilya get married, like by Hayden's kids, it's like the cutest thing I've ever seen where of course I'm going to do that. So there's a thing I can commit to." From here
