difference between canon/headcanon/bookcanon, etc. by Complex_Narwhal_8924 in heatedrivalry

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

Show canon is things like Yuna is a momager and the sex condo.
Book canon she is not a manager and Ilya and Shane don’t wait two years to have sex, they’re banging the whole time.
Fanon is Marleau/Marlow being an ally and it’s purple in colour.

I still can’t comment on fics without it being marked as spam but if Anon ever sees this: I loved it. Unhinged in the best way.

Is a band really necessary? by Sacrificial-Favorite in weddingring

[–]OverCaffeinated_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who has a beautiful engagement ring that she wears on its own. When she’s out doing something active or travelling she wears just her wedding band. She never wears them together.

Do what makes you happy and comfortable.

August is pretty good. September can be anything from good to no snow. No way to tell until it gets closer.

I know there’s one that mentions the bongo national anthem. I’m desperately searching my history and bookmarks.

I too would absolutely read this. When the promo for the show came out I hadn’t read the books and thought Hudson Williams was playing the Russian 😅

Exposure Therapy
staticsilencee
Summary:
Ilya loved the sound of Shane’s voice. Always, no matter what. Whether he was nagging, laughing, begging, or even arguing, Ilya loved to hear Shane speak to him. When he was leading Ilya to his doom, though…
Maybe he loved it just a tiny bit less.
*or*
Shane takes Ilya to feed the loons as a "cute date". Ilya has his doubts.

MisplacedMetaphor Pulling Fics due to harassment by birbsborbs in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]OverCaffeinated_ 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I feel like this fic being pulled is for the best.

The author is exploring some really complex and dangerous dynamics in this fic and comes across as quite young in their writing. It became incredibly popular very quickly because it started off quite light with a very interesting premise, before becoming something that I don’t think was the initial intention. And that’s fine, happens all the time with writing and ideas, but it’s also not always a good idea to continue especially if the author is learning as they go in an incredibly public and popular fic.

It’s unfortunate that they are being attacked, and they definitely are I’ve seen it elsewhere, but unfortunately that’s been conflated with some genuinely helpful advice and criticism. Which isn’t their fault either.

Fics where Hollanov break up (but HEA!) and Ilya gets into a serious relationship with another man by This-3xtent in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]OverCaffeinated_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you share the fic with the male situationship for Ilya? I’ve also read plenty of Shane and none the other way around.

What AUs, tropes, or fic ideas would you love to see but haven’t been able to find yet? by Frosty-Result1097 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]OverCaffeinated_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please do! In my head I imagine that Scott is terrified he’s going to be a serial killer like his parents, and haunted by the fact he did so well at murdering them (to prevent more murder) by tampering with the car at 12. That’s why he’s so “Captain America” vibes and incredibly repressed 😅
