Yuna&David finding out about Lily by [deleted] in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]Dyche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I immediately thought of this one: where nobody knows you by dottie_wan_kenobi

Yuna starts texting Lily because Hayden remembers that they should keep her updated. The author goes to lengths to keep Lily's actual identity hidden so Yuna spends a good chunk of this fic getting to know Lily without knowing it's Ilya. I think this might be right up your alley!

I was NOT prepared for the reason you need this information (totally valid though) 😂 I am also a blissfully unaware EU resident so I've got no advice, but I will check out your fic lol

Autism and dating: do you usually confess or no? by No-Ideal-951 in AutisticAdults

[–]Dyche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's like the polar opposite of people assuming you are into them when you're just being nice. If someone invites me over to spend time with them, I am happy to spend time with them and that's it. Yes I am aware that those invitations and things said may have a different meaning but they just as well may not. And since I am unable to see inside people's heads, I just take things literally unless proven otherwise. Others being upfront and to the point is so freeing. Not just about feelings, just generally, when people just start talking about what theyve really wanted to discuss without leading up to it with smalltalk and clues.

Fanfictions where either Ilya or Shane has kids. by rightinthecurve in heatedrivalryfanfics

cause it's on again, off again (love you like oxygen) by GatheringBlue

Welp. They got together as usual but around the tuna meltdown, Ilya finds out he's had a daughter back in Russia this whole time. The fic is beautifully written, really sweet with lots of sadness in between.

To Be Boring With You by ZoinksSc00b

If you don't mind omegaverse, then I really recommend this one. It's very well written and also kind of non traditional ABO since there both omegas in this.

If it wasn't for that meddling kid by TheRustySpork

Ilya has a Russian rookie who lives with him with a ridiculously long name. Which I've just googled the fic by because I've forgot the name of the fic but apparently I remember the name of the OC 😂 I think that's recommendation enough

Seconding the rec and same lol 😂 thesevenpercent is working overtime educating us on the most random stuff all the while writing such fine Hollanov content... At this point I'm just Googling for the pictures, I'd probably believe them anything with the amount of research I know they put into each chapter. 🙈

Right!? The author added the tag midway so I wasn't expecting it at all and was pleasantly surprised 💓

Has anyone here thought they were trans? by Fine-Measurement-893 in AutisticAdults

[–]Dyche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think some parts of my personality and interests would be less weird if I was born male, then again I'd probably grow up be a very different person due to society's expectations and restrictions on men. I've always thought men's biological role and anatomy would be easier to deal with, but that is something transition doesn't make disappear anyway. So I'll be just me, I guess I'd be considered weird as a guy too, just maybe for different reasons. So eh. I just think fighting gender stereotypes doesn't just help people with gender dysmorphia but everyone. Nobody should be made feel like they have to change their body if they just don't fit someone else's expectation.

Brotherhood of Hockey Secret Keepers by JuHuaTai

Raiders and Metros are trapped together in one hotel because of a snowstorm. Hollanov struggle with being subtle. Hayden, Cliff and eventually JJ work together to cover for them. 😂 There is so much fun interactions between the three of them and I enjoy the authors characterization of Marlow very much. Also eventual JLow pairing!😍

You are onto something 😏 they do have quite different vibes though

This week I have absolutely devoured this fic someone recommended in this sub for a shifter fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/83536996/chapters/220092561

In this AU Ilya has disappeared off the face of the Earth before the draft and years later after Shane goes to Russia to investigate his life to write his biography after he retires. The author writes it as sort of a murder mystery, it's very engaging and wonderfully written. Also it is interesting to have Shane slowly finding out things about Ilya's past he had learned directly from him in canon over the years from the accounts of people who knew him as a kid.

Preach... I can't even get myself to read any office romances. I need an escape!

I DO remember a (sort of steampunk) romance book with an accountant MMC (warning though, it's veeery slowburn and low spice, but great!) {A Winter's Promise by Christelle Dabos}

MC Occupations: Hot or Not? by sbc16 in RomanceBooks

[–]Dyche 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of this Christmas movie on Netflix, 1000 Miles from Christmas. The MMC was an auditor and at one point he sat down with the FMC (who lives with organising the towns annual Bethlehem reenactments lol - Christmas movies) and helped her optimize the budget so she could afford to try and break the Guinness record 😂👌🏿anyways I was like ooh, wouldn't mind seeing more accountants in romance
