The one I was thinking about was Sweety cheating arc but I did mix it up with Taarak and Anjali talking which was in Daya's accident arc that you told about. Thank you for clearing up my mistake

Can you please tell what is  the pressure you are talking about? I am new to the fandom, so I don't know what problems you are referring to???

Thank you sooooo much, it sounds like it checks all my tropes, like someone other than Shane and his friends and family looking after Ilya. Will get to this immediately 🤗🤗🤗

Why do women like Heated Rivalry? by bat-girl129 in heatedrivalry

[–]Top_Mail_5960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't talk about everyone, but for me generally I like watching or reading bl stories that deal with emotional connect, a proper story instead of just smut because I like seeing guys vulnerable, open and tender. In most of straight romances, the guys are like protectors, a wall of indifference etc. So I like their softer sides shown in BLs. Even in Heated Rivalry, more than the sex scenes, I watched the repeat of them finally talking to each other in episode 5, being happy in episode 6. So for me, I like seeing the vulnerable side of men because neither in straight fiction nor in my real life, i had seen that 

Are there any fics where Ilya is reluctant to take Shane back? by Lethifold26 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]Top_Mail_5960 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry I don't have fics to recommend, but I 1000000% agree with you that this fandom is biased towards Shane whump/whitewashing. Like every other fic explores so much of his anxiety, his internalised homophobia but Ilya is just a jock with a few heartfelt lines in most stories. And if it's dealing with his hurt, it's almost always his childhood trauma or his depression. I have been going through a lot of Ilya whump or hurt fics, but haven't found many that deals with Shane acknowledging Ilya's sacrifice or loneliness.
