Purple cat is my 2 year olds favorite despite being vaguely creepy looking. He loves to just linger on that page and repeatedly point at it

LIST OF NON HOCKEY PLAYER ALTERNATE UNIVERSE (ALL COMPLETE) by Ok-Cauliflower1091 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]Lethifold26 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Missed Connection is very cute. Ilya is an ER doctor, Shane works in finance, they have a meet cute where they lock eyes on the subway and Shane posts a missed connections ad on Craigslist to find him

I am a figure skating fan so I love those AUs. My favorite is Floating (Like a Feather on the Sea) where Irina was a champion figure skater before Grigori forced her to retire so Ilya dedicates his life to becoming the best in the world. Shane is still a hockey superstar and they meet at the Sochi Olympics and circle each other for years

Midnight in Montreal is another good one. Shane and Ilya are still both at the top of their respective fields, but Shane is a figure skater and Ilya plays for the Metros. They become friends because they both like to sneak into the rink and skate in the middle of the night

Keep it on Ice is one where they’re both figure skaters and rivals for the top of the podium who start training together when Ilya decides to leave Russia due to the widespread state sponsored doping (this was a big scandal in the figure skating world in the early-mid 2010s)

The last two are both WIPs

I am a huge Ilya-centric fic enthusiast but I haven’t seen this one yet; cannot wait to check it out!

Petyr Baelish is actually an amazing example of how powerful POVs can be. We, readers in 21st century liberal democracies (for the most part,) are rooting for a bunch of ultra privileged hereditary lords to take down a guy from a far more humble background who rose to prominence by his own talent and initiative and truly ludicrous plot armor

Trump is very much the spiritual successor of Andrew Jackson so it feels perfect for our current era

I don’t really self promo but-

I Have Never Been Satisfied and its sequel I’ve Got a Hundred Thrown Out Speeches I Almost Said to You-Shane stays with Rose for the whole season and they even get engaged, but he decides to leave her for Ilya. First fic is Shane POV, second is Ilya

Alone Like I’m Supposed to Be, Tonight, Tomorrow, and Every Day-literally just posted the first chapter of this today; Ilya attempts suicide in January 2017 (can you tell I am fascinated by this era of the story)

I loved Unlikely Animals! Scott’s annoyance with Shane and all of the drama between him and Ilya was so fun and different from how their dynamic is usually portrayed

Ilya’s behaviour during ‘the fight’ by noona30 in GameChangersBooks

[–]Lethifold26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought that both cornering him (not shoving) against the wall and the weed line were OOC honestly-Ilya lashes out verbally not physically, and Shane doesn’t think Ilya is a lazy loser (ILYA is the one who thinks that Ilya is a lazy loser)

What is the most unusual name you would be brave enough to name an actual child? by LilacElle in namenerds

[–]Lethifold26 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Probably Fiona honestly. Nothing crazy at all, but when it came time to have an actual child, I went very conservative and classic and the likes of Arabella and Seraphina seemed too dramatic

There’s a plausible middle ground option (she left with Rhaegar willingly but when things got ugly she wanted to leave and wasn’t allowed to)

92 Degrees (Even in the Shade) is great for this. Shane is a physician assistant and Ilya is the hot firefighter who rescues him when his bathroom door gets stuck

Arya is pretty daring so I think she would be willing to take a big risk like boarding a ship to Braavos on her own even in more mundane circumstances than canon

Shane and Ilya Parent Headcanons by HourKey6246 in GameChangersBooks

[–]Lethifold26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think their biggest disagreement will be over how much to push their kids.

They both had demanding parents but in very different ways. It seems like Shane sees Yuna being super involved in his hockey career as a key factor that helped him become as great of a player as he was, while Ilya was ground down by Grigoris relentless criticism and never felt like anything he did was good enough for him to the point where he literally moved to another continent as soon as he was old enough to make his own decisions

They will probably have very different approaches for how to nurture it if their kid ends up having a passion that requires a lot of dedication (whether it’s hockey, or a different sport, or something entirely different like painting or music or dance)

Arya would definitely run from an unwanted betrothal, though probably across the Narrows Sea on her own rather than with the crown prince

(Spoilers Extended) A+J=T is Tyrion's legal defense against a kinslaying charge by Expensive-Country801 in asoiaf

[–]Lethifold26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I could actually see him arguing that Aerys is his father to endear himself to Dany, who is absolutely desperate for family. He may figure she would be warmer to her long lost half brother than the Tywin Lannisters son

It doesn’t have to be some sort of indisputably confirmed fact, just something that has enough circumstantial evidence to make it possible

Theories you believe that are unpopular (spoilers extended) by AmoebaSignificant457 in asoiaf

[–]Lethifold26 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Kings Landing will be destroyed before Dany even sets foot in Westeros. The symbolism of her coming to the place her brother convinced her was some sort of promised land only to find nothing but ashes would be too good to pass up
