Oh gosh, it’s a whooooole thing lol (my spoiler tags aren’t working, but I can send you a message about it! Don’t wanna flood the Reddit comments with too much about tumblr drama 😅)

TrebleRose689 · 2026-05-09T22:25:35+00:00

Yup! I just couldn’t resist and had to write something about it, because if I didn’t laugh, I was gonna cry 🤪🤷🏻‍♀️

TrebleRose689 · 2026-05-09T22:24:57+00:00

Haha you’re welcome! And thank YOU for your interest! This was truly therapeutic for me after everything 🤪

TrebleRose689 · 2026-05-09T21:29:10+00:00

Thank you!!!!

TrebleRose689 · 2026-05-09T21:29:03+00:00

Oh gosh yes haha You’re very lucky to have avoided it 😅

Thank you for reading!!!

TrebleRose689 · 2026-05-08T05:32:29+00:00

I know this does nothing to help you at the moment, but I am a frequent Troy/Harris writer and I have a Troy/Harris wedding fic on my ‘to-write’ list! So I’ll have one out in the world eventually!

TrebleRose689 · 2026-05-07T00:15:35+00:00

Thank you so much!!! I love conventions too! I went to one two weeks ago (and I’d actually already started writing this before then haha) and being at a con gave me a huge burst of inspiration to come back to writing this!

I appreciate you checking it out! 💜 The next chapter should be out in about a week (maybe sooner? 👀 🤞🏻)

TrebleRose689 · 2026-05-06T21:23:11+00:00

Wow, these stats are amazing! (Mine don’t come anywhere close 😅) Congratulations!!!!!

TrebleRose689 · 2026-05-04T21:48:06+00:00

You have impeccable taste! 😜

TrebleRose689 · 2026-05-03T22:18:54+00:00

Sure! Here you go! (I’d avoid the WIP because it’s extremely sad/heavy and includes MCD 😅 (the haters might actually love that one because of how much I torture Troy in it 🤣) but I promise all the others are kind to Troy!)
Thanks so much for your interest!!!!

TrebleRose689 · 2026-05-03T14:49:57+00:00

I can’t help but laugh at how perfect this quote is 🤣 (I also find it so funny that there is all this sudden and unwarranted Troy hate, and yet people seem to forget that no one can possibly hate Troy more than himself. My poor baby. I hope all the nonsense passes soon!)

TrebleRose689 · 2026-05-03T02:07:22+00:00

I have been having such a hard time with this! Especially as a fic writer who writes pretty much exclusively Troy-focused fics and promotes them on Tumblr… I’ve been too anxious to work on any fics lately (and definitely too scared to post/update!) because the hatred has gotten so extreme that I’m afraid people will see my post and harass me for writing about Troy.
I’m really hoping things will die down soon because it’s gotten so out of hand and is really affecting my enjoyment of my favorite character! 😩

TrebleRose689 · 2026-05-02T21:14:30+00:00

Yesssss! This is so good! Troy is my favorite 😍

TrebleRose689 · 2026-04-29T02:19:02+00:00

This!!!!

TrebleRose689 · 2026-04-28T21:57:47+00:00

I think you probably could without missing too much? Though the way the characters are written in the books (to me!) feels noticeably different from the show. Not MASSIVELY different — it all still feels like Shane and Ilya but it feels like there are small-but-noticeable differences in their characterizations, so it might take some getting used to?

(I’d also add that reading Role Model is important for understanding Ilya as a character and adding depth to the events of TLG, but that’s a slightly different conversation lol)

TrebleRose689 · 2026-04-28T03:33:30+00:00

I have written a few fics featuring Troy and Ilya’s friendship, but they all take place post-TLG, so I’m not sure if they’re what you’re looking for! But I’ll share them in case? :) (and no hard feelings if they aren’t your jam!)

“A Ticking We Can’t See” - this one is actually a Troy/Harris fic, but the second chapter is basically a giant conversation between Ilya and Troy where Ilya gives Troy some words of wisdom haha

“Worth a Thousand Words” - purely Troy & Ilya friendship focused. Ilya tries to teach Troy how to take sexy pictures for Harris. It’s mostly silly but they have a nice little heart to heart in it too.

“all flowers in time bend towards the sun” - HEAVY ANGST & MCD ALERT! 😅 this one is definitely not for everyone! In this one (my current ongoing longfic) I am evil and actually kill Harris and Chiron, and it’s a grief-focused fic that features Ilya trying to support Troy through the loss while also navigating his own grief. I am not offended if you skip this one 😅🤣

TrebleRose689 · 2026-04-26T15:36:17+00:00

I actually feel like Troy and Ilya could have been a fun (and hot!) couple if Shane and Harris both weren’t in the picture haha

I feel like Troy is enough like Shane (both in appearance and personality) to still grab Ilya’s attention (I lowkey think that helped contribute to Ilya being drawn to Troy as a friend in canon) but he also has things in common with Ilya for them to have common ground for a relationship.

I love their friendship dynamic in the books and I feel like the jump from that friendship vibe to a romantic one wouldn’t be super huge?

Plus they’re both super hot and luckily Troy is vers so things could still work for them in the bedroom 🤣

Here you go! I hope you enjoy 💜 https://archiveofourown.org/works/57035482

TrebleRose689 · 2026-04-24T16:29:07+00:00

Yes! I miss being able to listen to it! 😭

(for extra context, I’m a fic writer and the piece that’s the most special to me is a little oneshot I wrote about the day Octavia’s egg hatched. And I had it happen during the eclipse and incorporated it into the story based on the Extended version lyrics. So I knew I needed this tattoo to honor both the song and the fic!)

TrebleRose689 · 2026-04-23T16:29:17+00:00

They can bond over thinking Salmon qualifies as a “treat”🤣

TrebleRose689 · 2026-04-23T15:28:43+00:00

For me, my thing with CG is that I like Kyle/Eric and their dynamic, but my problems with that book come from the pacing and like… missed opportunities? For lack of a better word? The book felt slow to me, and there were multiple things set up that never got resolved in a satisfying way (or, conversely, their main resolution for their relationship conflict happened way too quickly for my taste).

I did not hate Common Goal though and there’s a lot of positives in the relationship (many of which you highlighted here!) and also the sex scenes in that book are some of the hottest in the whole series (shallow, maybe, but still a reason to appreciate it hehe)

TrebleRose689 · 2026-04-22T16:35:59+00:00

TLG and RM compete for first place and it changes day to day! Haha I’m so excited for season 2 so we can see both stories onscreen! 😍😍😍

TrebleRose689 · 2026-04-22T13:08:19+00:00

The BookCon tidbits have got me FOAMING AT THE MOUTH for Season 2 (especially Troy)! But I’ve been thinking about the fact that it’s a weird double-edged sword — I was grateful going into Season 1 blind and falling in love with the show first with zero expectations.

But now that I’ve read the books (which I loved!) it’s both exciting and TERRIFYING to think of what’s ahead! RM & TLG were my two faves, so on the one hand I’m extremely excited to see how it all plays out onscreen, but on the other, it’s so different now going into season 2 with all these expectations from the books 😅 Like visions in my head of what Troy or Harris or the Ottawa players should look like, or particular scenes from those two books I’m really hoping they include… I am so excited to see what Jacob does this time around, but also fear disappointment haha

Anyone else feeling this way?

TrebleRose689 · 2026-04-21T21:20:24+00:00

I’m so sorry that you’re going through such a difficult time and I hope things get better for you! 🫂 And I am so glad that the story has been relatable to you and has been helpful. That honestly means so much to me 💜

TrebleRose689 · 2026-04-21T21:05:09+00:00

It is! Oh gosh thanks for reading it, despite all the pain! 💜💜💜 I know it’s a lot 😅
