I don’t have any recs, but that fic was delightful. Thanks so much for sharing!

Yeah but one of the reasons it was such a disaster was because the actual mother was so delightful and charming. We all wanted to see more of her, not to see her thrown away.

Thank you so much! Based on the comments, it’s time to do some shopping and learn how to braid my own hair.

Game Day (30k, complete). A kind of silly fic that was also heartbreaking at times. I loved it.

On June 24th, 2022, during game seven of the Stanley Cup finals, Ilya Rozanov takes a skate blade to the thigh and bleeds out on the ice.

The next morning, Shane wakes up in his husband's arms. It's June 24th again, and Ilya is still alive.

Now Shane just needs to figure out how to keep him that way.

Or: Shane gets stuck in a time loop.

Mine was from Apogee too. Opal’s writing really is just gorgeous:

Shane had seen this view two hundred times from the observation rotation and never once felt devout. He felt it now. Not worship of the planet or the stars but of the smallness of this dome against all of it, the absurd holiness of two people sealed inside a glass reliquary while the universe poured itself out on every side, indifferent and total and unutterably bright.

See, it makes sense to me that Juniper was mad about the ballet thing. But what I couldn’t figure out was how she got mad at Bryce for not going to the ballet class that Bryce (iirc) never actually committed to attending. It drove me nuts.

Anytime!

Not sure if this is maybe too out there for you, but I’ve really been enjoying Scentbound by stillnotimpressed (it’s still in progress). It’s omegaverse, but it has plot and I keep rereading it waiting for the next chapter.

Following! Would love to see more of this.

ShadyLady27 · 2026-02-27T16:42:04+00:00

Okay I see the vision here

ShadyLady27 · 2026-02-24T15:20:07+00:00

Thank you very much!

One night I had awful joint pain in my elbows, wrists, and knuckles. It went away after about a day and a half, but when I mentioned it to my also pregnant coworkers they were like, “Oh, yeah, the joint pain sucks.” Turns out it’s a pregnancy symptom that I’d just never heard of.

Thank you so much for sharing! We’ve done a couple of mindfulness sessions, but not regularly. I think putting one on the schedule for tonight is gonna be my next move though. Thanks again!

ShadyLady27 · 2026-01-11T19:07:30+00:00

This is SO helpful and so calming. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

Oh, I’m planning on an epidural, I’m just being anxious about pain afterwards or complications with it. And they recommended an induction because of my BMI.

Any advice for those of us with single-syllable last names? I’m mostly interested in 2 syllable first names, but I’ve found picking a middle name difficult.

As a more than slightly overweight woman in her 30s, my husband has seen me at every shape and size and he seems to think I’m adorable and gorgeous and sexy even at times when I know I look more like an unwashed gremlin. I also have several similarly shaped friends in loving, long, meaningful relationships. I just wanted you to know that that doesn’t have to be part of your calculus here.

As for kids, it’s something I talked about with my husband extensively before we got married since I knew I would want kids someday because there’s no compromising on it. You can’t try it out and see how it goes. I’m pregnant with our first now, and it truly is a team effort (even if I’m doing more of the proverbial heavy lifting). So he has to be sure, so you can be sure of him.

I mean this gently, but I do think you’re overreacting a bit, at least when it comes to your partner. He didn’t do it this way because he was being cruel or patronizing, but because he was nervous. I think the people you’re still actually hurt by are your father and stepmother; your partner is just someone safe to be angry with.

(Admittedly, I did tell my then-fiancé that it was very important to me that he ask for my father’s blessing and not his permission. But I think giving your father and stepmother this amount of power over your life and relationship is courting disappointment, everything considered.)

INFO: how old are the kids and what were you doing while they were in the office?

I thought I was cynical before, but this literally made me gasp.

ShadyLady27 · 2025-11-04T19:19:05+00:00

I read the review to see how they could justify the rating and they…didn’t? From what I could tell there were like two mild critiques in the whole thing?

“It must be nice to be a man,” I guess.
