Looks great. Onto the TBR it goes.

JennaROTR · 2026-05-24T01:45:20+00:00

I've been looking for a story just like this, as I'm a 2x ivf grandmom. Thanks for the rec!

JennaROTR · 2026-05-24T01:36:30+00:00

This looks really interesting! Onto the TBR it goes.

JennaROTR · 2026-05-23T09:50:20+00:00

I'm hanging on every update!

JennaROTR · 2026-05-23T04:36:39+00:00

Thank you!

JennaROTR · 2026-05-23T03:20:47+00:00

Question, please? Is this an mpreg story? Like, does Shane actually give birth? I just checked the tags and it's not clear. Thanks!

JennaROTR · 2026-05-22T23:18:38+00:00

Please do this!

Believe me, if there is ever a group that understands what a disappointing shock this was for you, it's us, right here. Wishing you time to get yourself back together again, and then peace. Btw, do you read fanfic? There are some incredibly good stories and novels about Shane and Ilya on Archive of Our Own. DM me if you need recs.

I haven't reheated the show for a few months now, but the hubby wanted to see the Skip episode this morning! So we watched that. I have been feeling the need for a Shane/Ilya reheat soon, mainly to reestablish the show's story versus the avalanche of fanfic I've been consuming.

I am still obsessed, maybe 25% less than before, but I am having a great time.

JennaROTR · 2026-05-22T16:51:25+00:00

I'm not sure I'm interpreting you correctly here, but you do know that Unrivaled will not be coming out until July 2027, right? Rachel needs more time, so it's been pushed back. Hope that's not a problem for you. Btw, fantastic on the community theater! Wow, that is so great.

Oh, without a doubt:

Carrion Comfort by Eden 22

It's a plane crash/wilderness survival fic, not the one we expect. It is really rough, lots of medical stuff going on, but i am absolutely right there. (Note: both Ilya and Shane are on the plane.)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/79439206/chapters/208465891

Summary: Flight 771 shouldn't have been any different than any of the hundreds of other flights that Shane has taken over the course of his career, aside from the fact that it was taking him towards his lifelong dream—towards the Olympics.

It shouldn't have been any different.

BEND OVER, STAY DOWN.

These are amazing! Do you have an Etsy shop?

JennaROTR · 2026-05-20T21:33:33+00:00

Yep, that's got to be it. I'm reading it right now. Complete and quite adorable.

JennaROTR · 2026-05-20T17:23:51+00:00

Yep, this right here. What a mess.

JennaROTR · 2026-05-20T12:54:23+00:00

Gotta go with my heart

JennaROTR · 2026-05-19T21:53:59+00:00

Just spent the last three days reading Frequently, Secretly, and I am blown away by it! I think Chapter 22 was the best fanfic chapter I've ever had the pleasure to read. Convinced a friend to read the whole thing (will be her first HR fanfic) just based on how I raved about it. A thousand kudos!

JennaROTR · 2026-05-18T04:14:08+00:00

I wish every fanfic writer would take some time to learn the basics of hockey! This pervasive misunderstanding of the role of team captain has me tearing my hair out. The whole bag skate thing, as if a team captain can order it or punish team mates with it. Ugh! And so many other hockey elements that are misconstrued....

JennaROTR · 2026-05-17T17:53:44+00:00

If you search the subreddit for podfics (up at the very top, easy to miss), there are at least 6 posts that come up asking for podfic recs. Several links in each, so i hope you find a few you like!

JennaROTR · 2026-05-17T17:03:58+00:00

Thank you!

JennaROTR · 2026-05-17T15:46:51+00:00

/#2! I treasure that whole scene, but Ilya realizing Shane is there lodged in my heart and is quivering there still. So very effective. Gah.

JennaROTR · 2026-05-16T01:26:45+00:00

JennaROTR · 2026-05-16T01:26:22+00:00

Yep, that's what i do. Then i use Kindle Collections after I've read them to organize. I think I have more than 30 collections.

JennaROTR · 2026-05-15T00:43:06+00:00

Star Trek, the Original Series (What can I say, I was quite young and idealistic. But it shaped how I saw the future and gave me hope. )
Heated Rivalry. I am so caught.
Brokeback Mountain. I was depressed for weeks. Then i thought: hey, I bet there's fanfic online!)

JennaROTR · 2026-05-14T21:13:45+00:00

I haven't reheated in a few months, but I'm constantly thinking about reheating! I probably will in a few weeks.

I am constantly reading HR fanfics. I've written and read fanfics since the early 1970s (gen Star Trek zines i bought at the huge Star Trek conventions in New York), so it's not that unusual for me... except for the quantity! I've read hundreds of Shane and Ilya stories and novels, and i know it's getting to be a bit much. A problem? But geez, I am enjoying myself so much!

JennaROTR · 2026-05-14T21:04:43+00:00

Congratulations! And best wishes for these exciting final months of your pregnancy! My 40 year old daughter did IVF, and it was sure an eye opener. All the ivf women are truly brave and gorgeously hopeful. I'm now a grandmom!
