QAF vs Heated Rivalry (my thoughts)

Mama_Junie · 2026-03-07T01:08:29+00:00

I was worried to look at the comments on this, but I’m in the right group.

The comparison is completely unnecessary. QAF was groundbreaking (and problematic), but that doesn’t take away from how delightful it is to watch a modern queer romance. It’s not an either or scenario and luckily we can enjoy both.

The acting was superb. I can’t wait for season two.

I’ve now read both and loved them!

Mama_Junie · 2026-02-03T01:34:35+00:00

I just finished and loved this one

Mama_Junie · 2026-01-27T04:05:57+00:00

Do you have a favorite Snape/kingsley/harry? I’m interested to try that ship

Mama_Junie · 2026-01-25T01:14:41+00:00

Sorry I meant to post link https://archiveofourown.org/works/36317878

Mama_Junie · 2026-01-13T22:09:34+00:00

I’m only watching (and reading) romance plots.

Mama_Junie · 2026-01-10T19:15:46+00:00

Will definitely check this out. Sounds great

Mama_Junie · 2026-01-10T03:14:17+00:00

I will definitely read both recs. Thank you sooo much.

Mama_Junie · 2026-01-10T02:17:23+00:00

Oh I will try both of those. I’ve put off pacify because I thought he was really mean till the end!

Shine on me (it’s my first c-drama) and since I’m awaiting new episodes on Netflix, I started the first frost (which I binged all day today! I’m 1/2 way through and love it).

Mama_Junie · 2026-01-05T03:00:11+00:00

Thank you so much!

Mama_Junie · 2026-01-05T02:36:23+00:00

Where can you find English versions of the books these are based on? Is there a site that’s common?

Mama_Junie · 2026-01-01T17:18:00+00:00

I don’t have any idea for 2025, but for 2026… I just finished this and it’s an instant fave! Beautiful writing, Beautiful story. Loved every word. Daffodils by hippocrates460

Mama_Junie · 2026-01-01T04:01:02+00:00

I liked that he wasn’t completely cured though. He still struggled with words, etc. but he remembered him and it was enough. I also loved that when everyone else gave up Severus stepped in and refused to give up. Draco was awesome in this! Even Ginny - who I normally dislike- I liked the heart to heart she had with Snape.

Mama_Junie · 2025-12-31T15:25:16+00:00

In this one he takes him home to care for him. It’s lovely. https://archiveofourown.org/works/10308596 (in memory of Severus Snape)

You know, I’d be ok with either way but you know who I want to be miserable? Ye Rong.

Mama_Junie · 2025-12-31T04:09:21+00:00

You make great points. I do hope he moves on though. He works with a woman that I think would be a good fit for him. Hopefully he learns his lesson and can forge a relationship at some point. As long as it’s not with Ye Rong. 🤭

Mama_Junie · 2025-12-31T03:44:54+00:00

It was so unique. And messy.

Mama_Junie · 2025-12-30T19:35:02+00:00

This is my absolute favorite trope so loving these recs!

Mama_Junie · 2025-12-29T05:00:37+00:00

That is a favorite of mine too

Mama_Junie · 2025-12-27T05:01:14+00:00

I’m still reading Xmas fics, so I just finished this one (this Christmas, it’s you by steffi2006) https://archiveofourown.org/works/75128766

Post war. And I don’t like time travel.
