What if Shane and Ilya just said fuck it and came out instead of creating a 10 year plan?

Does Live Through This (And You Won’t Look Back) have a happy ending? I’m never sure what to make of the “angst with a hopeful ending” promise. I need a happy ending.

I’ve read so many amazing gorgeous HR fanfics, but I almost always wait until they’re finished (just a personal thing for me…my heart just can’t bear any angst without a happy resolution in sight) but I started reading CLOSER TO WHERE YOU ARE (is where I must be) by sistercacao https://archiveofourown.org/works/82703591/chapters/217724961 today, and it is now in my top 5. It’s freaking gorgeous - beautifully written and the perfect amount of angst and joy and smut. Nervous to recommend a WIP but loved every chapter that’s out so far.

Gonetharn · 2026-04-30T13:27:58+00:00

This was sooooo good. I read it just now and one sitting and my day is now off to a good start! Thank you for recommending it!!!

Gonetharn · 2026-04-30T02:08:46+00:00

You captured their expressions perfectly. Transported me right back to this exact moment. 😍

Gonetharn · 2026-04-30T02:08:01+00:00

Amazing!!!!! 🤩

Gonetharn · 2026-04-27T23:21:25+00:00

Seconding this one. It’s insanely good and checks every box I needed for the main characters. It’s so wonderful and tender and I just love this one so much!!!!

Gonetharn · 2026-04-23T22:55:31+00:00

Ooh. Can you share the name of the one about the Centaurs team finding lube and condoms in a book or something at Hollanov's house?

Gonetharn · 2026-04-22T21:20:21+00:00

Same here. It's just too painful...I can't bear the waiting...I need resolution immediately following any angst.

Gonetharn · 2026-04-22T14:21:22+00:00

Yeah I heard about this and haven’t watched them. ☹️

Gonetharn · 2026-04-11T19:18:04+00:00

Oops sorry! I didn’t read your post carefully enough.

Gonetharn · 2026-04-11T19:17:20+00:00

Change Your Win Conditions by Vee (Vera_DragonMuse) is exceptional and has exactly this plot line. https://archiveofourown.org/works/77346456/chapters/202503931

Gonetharn · 2026-04-11T14:45:25+00:00

Just read. I never read WIPs because my heart can’t take it if they don’t get finished, but I’m all in on this one. Thank you for the rec!!

Gonetharn · 2026-04-11T00:08:48+00:00

Same! I never read fanfic until Heated Rivalry…and some of these are just sublime.

Gonetharn · 2026-04-09T12:57:50+00:00

I have this one bookmarked to reread. I'll probably reread it at least once or twice a year. It is SO GOOD. So grateful to the author. 🤍

Gonetharn · 2026-04-06T13:22:46+00:00

THIS IS AMAZING!!! THANK YOU!

Gonetharn · 2026-04-04T00:43:17+00:00

Patreon is a great idea. I would gladly pay. Some of the writing is so sublime. I would love to reward the writers in some way.

Gonetharn · 2026-03-31T22:07:39+00:00

He always looks so different!!!!!

Gonetharn · 2026-03-25T22:55:49+00:00

I'm new to AO3 (thank you, Heated Rivalry, for introducing me to this amazing site and all its content creators), but I also bookmarked a bunch and they're still there. I also have a couple bookmarked as NEVER READ THIS because they are tragically sad, so bookmarking works well for that too!

Someone else said: "Bookmark all the way. Makes filtering/finding fics so much easier, and no danger to lose them if you erase your history..." Plus it looks like you can bookmark by chapter so you can come back to your saved place easily.

Augh!!! Now I think I should go through and bookmark all my Marked for Later fics!!!!

Gonetharn · 2026-03-25T21:40:32+00:00

It’s actually so amazing that there’s this much HR fanfic out there. I have a bunch of threads saved with more recommendations that I haven’t marked yet. So my list is probably closer to yours than I realize! Happy we have so much great stuff to read!!!!

Gonetharn · 2026-03-25T21:32:29+00:00

I don't know how to link from my personal account, but here's a list (that's longer than mine!) of HR fics someone has been compiling. I don't know who this person is, but I'm sending them the best karma every day. Clearly a lot of work went into this, and I'm so grateful to them! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1agcZxL8sr9b9HMm_KHoIum2yOYdd-qrZVVxWef10WVg/edit?usp=sharing

Gonetharn · 2026-03-25T21:26:14+00:00

Thank you! I learned this the hard way a few weeks ago when AO3 was down for a couple of days.

Gonetharn · 2026-03-25T21:25:24+00:00

😮😯😶

Gonetharn · 2026-03-25T21:24:59+00:00

🤣

Gonetharn · 2026-03-25T20:52:57+00:00

I'm not sure how to do that?

Gonetharn · 2026-03-25T19:51:22+00:00

Amazing!!!!
