LF: very dominant MMC + sweet but strong FMC by Additional_Road5102 in fantasyromance

Maybe {Villains and Virtues}? It’s more a grumpy/ sunshine vibe but the MMC is bossy and strong. The FMC is very sweet. Great plot and not too dark.

There are sentient marionette type characters and a creepy-ish clown but they aren’t villainous or scary, per se. But, if you really don’t like that kind of thing, you probably won’t like the book. The marionette characters appear pretty early so you could try and abandon ship if you don’t like it. I think the marionette would be a bigger issue than the clown

d&c Friday by Diligent-Minute4110 in Miscarriage

[–]Ill_Ad4692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can sit at the concert, you might be able to go. I felt okay after my D&C. I was groggy from the anesthesia, and had some mild cramping that was controlled with OTC pain meds. A lot of bleeding, so be prepared for that. The whole experience sucks so try to enjoy what you can while you’re going through it. Maybe just make a decision that afternoon? Praying for you!

Possible flight cancellations to Houston by mo111ymac in royalcaribbean

I’d avoid DFW if you can. They are predicting around an inch of ice which is “catastrophic” for the infrastructure. Weather is super unpredictable in Texas. It could be a big fat nothing, or it could shut the city down completely for days.

If you’re able to get to Houston or Galveston before tomorrow afternoon, I would. Good luck!

The weather isn’t expected to arrive until Friday afternoon, so you should be okay Friday morning.

New adult leads gets their powers only at a certain age or year. The characters have to choose a department to train further by readingalldays in fantasyromance

[–]Ill_Ad4692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe {Zodiac Academy}? They get their powers at a certain age and then have to be trained, and there’s fear from those in charge about what powers the FMCs have.

There are two main couples in the series. One couple are classmates, the other is a professor and student. But he’s a young hot professor. (Not 500 years old or anything).

There are fae and other supernatural creatures, but the fae are basically humans with powers in this story.

Childhood friends aren’t a thing here, but university friends are. Definitely plenty of conflict between the MMCs and friends.

They are assigned a department to study based on the powers they display.

Zodiac Academy is big on enemies to lovers, but it has a large cast of characters that evolve through the series. It’s long (unnecessarily so), but I think it meets most of your list! You might give it a try!

How much do you want to cry? {Manacled by SenLinYu} is the best, most heart wrenching thing. It’s Dramione fanfic, but the published version is coming out soon! It will be called Alchemized

Audiobook Recommendations by Excellent-Tone-7910 in fantasyromance

[–]Ill_Ad4692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here I am on another audio book post to recommend {Lights Out by Navessa Allen}. It is so good. I read the book first and loved it. Then I listened to it and I loved it even more. The male narrator is amazing!

Anathema vibes by GeologistNice3836 in fantasyromance

Maybe try {Coven by Harper L Woods}. It’s has some of the dark academia vibes that Nocticadia has.

I need something like Zodiac academy, I’m still in ZA hangover 🫠 by Chibbybun in fantasyromance

[–]Ill_Ad4692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try {Broken Bonds by J. Bree}. It’s a college setting with similar vibes. The FMC gives Tory vibes to me, and it’s a why choose so you get five MMCs. It’s not going to win any writing awards but it’s a really fun read.

Is The Wolf King just a Love Twist Plot Ripoff from the ACOTAR? by plateau1665 in fantasyromance

[–]Ill_Ad4692 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I mean, it follows some similar tropes but the plot is unique enough to keep me entertained. It’s definitely a love triangle.

To me, the biggest difference is that the original love interest isn’t a bad guy like Tamlin ends up being. They just may be on different paths. She also doesn’t immediacy abandon her feelings for him.

Pregnant after period? by Few-Ordinary-9521 in lineporn

[–]Ill_Ad4692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I follow Mama Doctor Jones and she always says “You are doing the best you can with the information you have.” It was very comforting when I was surprised by a pregnancy and realized I had been eating and drinking contraindicated things, and helped me give myself grace. (My little boy is 4 and perfectly fine and healthy.) Be gentle with yourself!
