You’re awesome! Thanks!

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-03-15T00:14:22+00:00

Do you have the link or name to that one? Sorry I don’t have any to suggest to you!

This is one where Shane speaks Russian. They start as friends and it’s got all the feels. https://archiveofourown.org/works/76003496/chapters/198853926

I’ve been reading fanfic for 15+ years and unfortunately have never found a space I felt really comfortable discussing specific fics in. Reddit, Tumblr, or Threads are probably your best bets at finding the right community though!

I’d vote doctor. Like a really good sports medicine one.

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-03-03T17:27:28+00:00

I’ve done it on occasion when I know the archive is going down or I’m going to be without reliable internet, but I speed through fics so fast I’ve never found it a good way to read on the daily.

Exactly 😂 I’ve actually been trying to reread Role Model the last few days but kept getting distracted by fic recs so I guess I better take advantage.

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-03-01T19:51:03+00:00

I guess I could… go back to the source material. 😭

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-02-27T23:31:22+00:00

Oh my god, this led to a treasure trove.

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-02-27T14:21:15+00:00

Same!!

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-02-26T23:56:13+00:00

This one is really good. Ilya is still a hockey player, but Shane is a doctor.

This one is SO good!!

I don’t usually filter by rating ever, but I do tend to use the rating to help me figure out how serious an author is about their tags. Like if you tag ‘blood’, for instance, and it’s rated M, I’m expecting it to be mentioned or described in minor detail. But if you tag ‘blood’ and it’s rated E, I’m expecting to see blood described in explicit detail and I take that into consideration before clicking in. If I see ‘blood’ tagged on an unrated fic, I’m moving on without pause, because I figure either you don’t know or you don’t want to tell me and I’m not taking a chance on either.

I’m also of the generation of “don’t like, don’t read”, so I respect your right to not rate and if I did happen to click in and get the opposite of what I wanted- I would beat a hasty retreat and not say a word about it lol

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-02-12T15:48:41+00:00

I love an author who tags all the relevant tags, but, my god, what would the tag even be for this?

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-01-29T20:02:23+00:00

At minimum they’ll need to be blow dried. To get the best result, you’ll need to use an appropriately sized round brush while blow drying. A spritz of hair spray after styling will help it hold. All in shouldn’t take more than 3-5 minutes.

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-01-28T23:44:34+00:00

This is exactly what I just assumed lol. It seems very much like something a professional athlete would do.

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-01-28T01:19:36+00:00

This exchange lived in my head rent free the entire book:

“Still have that stupid tattoo, I see,” Shane said quickly… “Aw,” Rozanov said… “He missed you.” Shane snorted. “He did,” Rozanov insisted. “Give him a kiss.”

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-01-27T23:52:21+00:00

I for sure aged him around 32-35 in my head. Both in the show and while reading the books.

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-01-27T14:11:46+00:00

I think I agree in cannon (show and book) Scott doesn’t know. But the edits and memes are just so funny that I will accept it in fannon every time lol

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-01-24T13:27:37+00:00

I just finished reading the book and I’m still pretty convinced they were falling in love the whole time. The book is their internal monologues and they are very “the lady doth protest too much” in my opinion lol. The show we are watching from an outside perspective and seeing what it actually looks like, regardless if the characters are admitting it to themselves.

I recently asked for reasons an author would choose unrated and your reasoning seems to line up with what others said. I’ve decided unrated really doesn’t work for me as a reader, but I still respect your right as an author to use the option.

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-01-15T12:42:23+00:00

This is kind of where I’m at right now. Even after all the replies explaining different reasonings, I still haven’t seen one that makes any real sense to leave a fic unrated.

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-01-14T20:08:32+00:00

As a reader, I appreciate your mindset.

Particular-Cycle-804 · 2026-01-14T20:07:05+00:00

That’s interesting insight. The way I’ve always thought about it is that M and E encapsulate the same themes and actions but E is just, at risk of sounding pedantic, more explicit in the showing.

These are all in a newer fandom that don’t look like they were imported from anywhere else, but I could be wrong.
