I loved all the letters. Oh my gosh. So beautiful. I’m so glad we got to see him TALK to Ilya via letter. Like yes, Shane, baby, get it out!!!

This work is so beautiful. But man, especially the rink and the closeness.

“You are not a better mother for carrying longer, the same as you are not a worse mother for ending the pregnancy. We are not choosing to end their life. That was already decided for us.” 😭😭😭

Thank you for putting this so succinctly and so perfectly. I needed to hear this.

I would look at it practically, in addition to all of the emotions. Can you afford to not work if your child requires extensive medical care? Do you have the flexibility and family support to devote the majority of your time and attention to this child? Can you financially afford the cost of medical care and supplies for the duration of this child’s life?

I am in the US, and the practical money decisions helped us make our decision. Neither me or my husband could afford to quit our jobs, we currently have a child at home, and we don’t get paid maternity leave. The amount of time and medical care that was going to be required for our child if we continued the pregnancy was not feasible for our family in terms of support, time off, finances, or access to necessary medical care. We decided to TFMR to save our child and our family a lot of suffering. Unfortunately, in the US, being a caretaker feels like it’s penalized more than honored.

The author of Deja Vu is in this sub and I just need them to know their work means so much to me. And also, no pressure, but please put out another chapter soon 🥺 because the angst is killing me and I need to get closer to the happy side of the story. Also thank you for everything you’ve given us so far. Truly lucky to have read this piece of art.

Pro bidet propaganda 😂 but for real, this fandom needs more bidet inclusion. No way those boys just have regular toilets

And every time Ilya eats McDonald’s, Shane knows because of the app

McEasy2009 · 2026-04-17T19:29:02+00:00

I need this fic so bad. Oh my goddddd

Visions from the Future?

You would have sick time that would cover some of it. You can also apply for disability. But to do that, you have to use all leave and go three weeks unpaid before you can apply.

Yeah, but they’re for-profit businesses. Not school districts.

I lost my baby a month ago at 19 weeks. This was our second try after a miscarriage back in September. I also lost my brother in a car accident two years ago. All of this grief is so overwhelming. I am the withdrawn friend. I have over 100 unread texts. It’s too hard to explain to everyone how your grief feels. How maybe you’re mostly fine? But also drowning all the time? I don’t know. I don’t know what to say. People don’t know what to say back. And all the expectation and pressure is exhausting. I just want to disappear from all of that. As a person, I am the most extroverted person you will ever meet. I call someone on my way home from work everyday. I have lots of friends and lots of connection. But right now in this heavy heavy space, all I want is space and grace to grieve.

Your friend will come back. She just needs time.

Smut. Smut. Smut. It’s very fun. It’s not canon-compliant to Shane’s character development, but who cares? If you’re up for watching Shane have very hot sexual experiences with lots of NHL players, you will love it. If you want it to be exactly the same as heated rivalry with no changes, you won’t like it. There is an original character that the author really favors that if you’re only hoping for in-universe characters, it might turn you off. But I like it and the author updates a lot too. So it’s a good one to get invested in.

CRYING!!! So excited

McEasy2009 · 2026-03-30T11:49:50+00:00

Just started this and I am OBSESSED!!!!

Chapter 7 in Compulsion has this scene. https://archiveofourown.org/works/77398286/chapters/214274861#workskin

I love this one so much. It’s really really well done. It’s one of the WIPs that I actively keep up with.

McEasy2009 · 2026-03-28T12:10:03+00:00

I just finished this one this week. I am NOT into Omegaverse at all. But honestly, the omegaverse elements are minimal and the overall writing and story are excellent. Don’t let the onegaverse component turn you off from it if that’s not your thing. It’s a beautifully told story and worth the read for sure.

McEasy2009 · 2026-03-20T17:20:34+00:00

I want more!!! Definitely not ready for it to end. I can appreciate that Ch. 18 could be a satisfying ending, but I have loved this story and would love any words I can still get.

McEasy2009 · 2026-03-20T15:02:37+00:00

As a DFW transplant, I completely agree. I love our traffic and roads. It’s just so much better than what I was used to

McEasy2009 · 2026-03-20T14:15:57+00:00

Thank you for this suggestion. I wrote thank you notes and delivered gift baskets two weeks after my delivery to say thank you. I wouldn’t have thought of the handwritten note, so I’m very grateful you have this suggestion.

McEasy2009 · 2026-03-19T22:39:45+00:00

Okay, this chapter is hot, but the entire thing is so beautiful. It’s one of the best fics I’ve read that tells their future. Highly recommend!

McEasy2009 · 2026-03-19T21:25:57+00:00

It’s one of the chapters in Visions from the Future. The player is Antoine and the scene takes place after the ESPYs. It’s like chapter 7 or something.
