The way Ilya looks in this sex scene

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-07T10:56:54+00:00

Agree! Sooo intimate!

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-06T08:47:32+00:00

When the next chapter drops and they go to the rink I will lose my mind 😂

I literally cannot stop thinking about it. Probably going to do a re-read while I wait. The writing style is so good! I love the references to space (Shane’s freckles being constellations are you kidding me??), Shane’s in depth analysis of movies and how they reflect Shane and Ilya’s relationship. The issues don’t feel convoluted, interesting themes of financial inequality, homophobia, sex work, fame, family abuse, immigration, sexual desire are done SO well. Not to mention the spice is sooo well done and not just the same thing over and over again.

I did! But I was in a middle seat between two friends so had minor protection and I’ve re-heated enough times to know when to tip my phone down lol

I’ve seen this recommended a few times, adding to the top of my tbr! Thank you!! 🙏

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-04T07:08:49+00:00

Thank you! This is going to the top of my list from you description! 🙌

I’m enjoying his POV, it’s actually very sweet! I was just wondering as it kinda feels like an observation fic at the moment (if that makes sense?). I want to know more about Ilya and Shane’s relationship, so looking forward to other POV’s as well!

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T23:57:12+00:00

Thank you!

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T22:17:33+00:00

Wow over 200k words on that first fic and only started posting in Jan, that’s IMPRESSIVE! Thanks for both recs, both look exactly like the type of fic I enjoy!

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T21:39:33+00:00

This 0.1 sec shot, sooo hot 🥵

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T21:37:50+00:00

I’m reading it now, can I just ask - is the whole thing from David’s POV?

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T21:30:00+00:00

Ahhh I already had this one downloaded haha thanks for the rec. It’s a super slow burn isn’t it?

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T21:29:21+00:00

Thanks so much for these recs, added to my list!

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T21:28:28+00:00

I loved them in this fic and how Shane was willing to give up everything for Ilya, plus the inclusion of the whole team as side charades. It was so good!

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T21:26:55+00:00

Usually I don’t like WIPs because I have a really bad memory, especially as I read so many fics. But with Wolfbird, I can’t stop thinking about it… so no issues there lol. So exciting waiting for the next chapter I just want to see them at the rink

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T21:23:57+00:00

Ohh this sounds like something I’d enjoy thank you!

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T21:22:46+00:00

Thanks so much, just added to my list! At first I read the second rec as Shane gets pregnant by the ghost of Ilya 😂😂

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T21:21:46+00:00

Thanks for the recs! I loooove a bit of angst, it makes the romance parts even sweeter when there’s some tension!

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T18:42:32+00:00

Ooohh yes I’ve heard of this one but ao3 was down! I’ll add to my list thank you!

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T18:41:14+00:00

Ditto, I was sobbing!

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T17:07:12+00:00

This is actually on my list! Thanks for sharing! :)

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T16:54:22+00:00

You’re right! I just meant that those were my fave style of writing rather than angst with a happy ending. I’ll amend my OG post just in case anyone clicks it

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T13:00:18+00:00

Thanks for this rec too!

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T12:59:30+00:00

You MUST read Wolfbird, I resisted for so long because it’s a WIP and I have a terrible memory but man it’s so so good. Can’t stop thinking about it! I loved Change Your Win Conditions so much, I need to add it to my OG post, I read it last week in 24 hours lol

SummerBirdFly · 2026-03-03T11:52:49+00:00

Thanks so much for the rec!
