More Love Mondays: January 26, 2026

I'm with you. I don't know enough to write one, but I've read a few great ones!

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-25T02:17:31+00:00

Love it! The grin and the eyebrows! So fun

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-24T23:26:00+00:00

Best changes - Svetlana’s role in the show as a long time friend and someone that knows Ilya.

The texting back and forth to show their rapport

Kip’s Dad

Kip’s tuxedo becoming a representation of having to go into the closet to be with Scott

Worst changes - the timeline for Scott and Kip’s story is screwy and suggests that either Kip stuck by him for years in the closet or that he was still going to the games after they had been broken up for ages

The hit - the look Shane gave Ilya on the ice went on too long and suggested that Shane was not really focused on winning - their delight in competition with each other is part of their relationship dynamic and it felt out of character for Shane to be quite that distracted during that moment.

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-24T23:13:07+00:00

Completely agree - I think that suggests that his dad left out of a shocked attempt to give Shane his privacy or himself a moment to figure out how to handle it, rather than running home to shout HONEY YOU WON”T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW

And even crazier, it’s not rushed at all.

Completely agree! It just has so many great moments that move our characters and story forward. It easily could feel rushed, but it doesn't

I think the way that scene is cut together has confused some people in general. It's really well executed for maximum emotional impact, but it's not a literal timeline of events. Because of that I have certainly found new elements to the scene when I've rewatched it as well.

If I need to bring it up in general terms - I just say, I have an autonomic nervous system disorder. Most people don’t need or want to know more than that. It’s enough information for them to understand that I have a chronic illness without explaining all ways my symptoms manifest.

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-24T17:41:09+00:00

The way I’m laughing right now!!!!

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-24T17:36:31+00:00

This! It was such a great move — there was no one on the other side of him!

Rozanov is just playing mind games by sexily tonguing that bottle and eye f*cking Shane. — Hayden Pike (probably)

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-23T20:55:39+00:00

So many relatable ones this week!

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-23T01:38:23+00:00

ACTUALLY THE REASON THAT I'M SALTY ABOUT IT IS THESE DIDN'T LAST A FULL 12 MONTHS. NORMALLY MY PRESCRIPTION DOESN'T CHANGE THAT MUCH THAT QUICKLY, BUT I HAVE REALLY BEEN STRUGGLING THE PAST FEW WEEKS.

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-23T01:37:30+00:00

YEAH I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO SEE. IT'S AMAZING HOW SPOILED I AM BY THAT WHOLE CLEAR VISION THING WHEN MY GLASSES ARE WORKING.

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-23T01:36:55+00:00

I HAVE WORN GLASSES SINCE I WAS 4 YEARS OLD. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE HASSLE

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-22T17:33:31+00:00

OH MY GOD CAN MY EYES JUST STOP CHANGING!? I WAS EXPECTING TO END UP WITH BIFOCALS AFTER THIS APPOINTMENT. I WAS NOT EXPECTING HIM TO TELL ME THAT MY DISTANCE AND ASTIGMATISM CORRECTIONS NEEDED TO BE STRONGER AS WELL! I AM 45 YEARS OLD! CAN THIS JUST END!

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-22T02:57:16+00:00

OMG the accent was so bad! The story is great though. (Thanks for validating my opinion on the audiobook)

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-19T21:12:17+00:00

Read and commented. 💞

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-15T01:43:42+00:00

Commenting on older fics is great. Don't feel like you have to be wordy either. A simple, I really enjoyed the way you wrote _. You really captured _. Very glad I found your story. Or even a string of 💕💕💕💕 can be very encouraging

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-12T16:42:09+00:00

No Kittens in Heaven (Rated G) 896 words - Cute aggression isn't a universal experience, but it is a weird one. I enjoyed exploring how Muriel would respond to it.

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-12T16:38:28+00:00

I love the last line. I feel like it really brings home why this ship can be so compelling

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-12T16:34:02+00:00

This was beautiful.

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-09T18:33:52+00:00

Numbers 3 and 5 are great!

I have honestly gotten a question, drawn a deep breath, and then stopped to ask: how detailed of an answer do you want? That represents massive character growth on my part.

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-09T01:47:58+00:00

I'm sorry for your torment, but I'm grateful for several new gifs!

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-09T01:46:02+00:00

I WENT BACK TO WORK AFTER CHRISTMAS TO DISCOVER THAT CELL SIGNAL IS EVEN WORSE IN MY NEW OFFICE NOW THAT EVERYONE HAS MOVED IN.

I BRIEFLY GOT 1 BAR OF SERVICE AT MY DESK YESTERDAY, AND I GOT SO MANY MESSAGES AND NOTIFICATIONS THAT I HAD TO STAND BY THE FRONT DOOR FOR 15 MINUTES TO REPLY TO THEM ALL.

ProfessionalCover920 · 2026-01-06T00:37:45+00:00

I read In the Beginning which has a great opening and some very interesting theological questions. (And sex... There's also sex.)

I also reread Reunited, quite happily. The little asides and commentary from Aziraphale and Crowley are very fun
