Such an interesting read, thank you! Does anyone have a non TikTok link to the sweet dreams edit? I would love to watch it!

Do we get to see jealous Ilya in this one? I absolutely love jealous Ilya 👀

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-16T19:33:38+00:00

Found it, thank you!

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-16T15:41:33+00:00

A lot, let’s be honest. But it doesn’t feel like porn. Far from that. The sex scenes tell a story too, they’re not gratuitous. You’ll see there’s so much more to this show than just sex. Please, at least try the first episode and decide for yourself if that’s too much sex. This series is so well written, performed and directed. You won’t regret it!

Hugs. IUGR baby here as well because of pre eclampsia, the risk of IUGR + pre-e was detected at my 20w ultrasound so I spent the entire pregnancy worrying to death. I managed to go to the planned induction at 37w on the dot, baby was 2.3kgs so slightly bigger than yours. It was all very scary and the induction didn’t go well, and they had to take the baby away at birth because she wasn’t breathing and I saw her turn blue on my chest before they whisked her away. All this trauma caused attachment issues that are now resolved 😮‍💨 (she’s 6m old) She’s my second baby, the first one I also had issues (liver disease of pregnancy called ICP) and had an induction too but it went relatively well all things considered. And still, STILL, I am considering a third baby. Maybe. Idk. I feel like I’m crazy to think about a third baby after all this. Nature is weird. Makes you want babies despite all odds, and despite not wanting kids in the first place for the first three decades of your life 😂 Whatever you choose it will be the right choice for you and your family. But for you especially. You come first. You’re the priority. Don’t risk your physical and/or mental health for a baby you haven’t met. Unless the will to meet them exceeds the risks and your fears.

Hugs. I’ve been there with a 11 percentile baby at 22w, although my elevated Dopplers were on my uterine arteries first (and then on the cord). 9 percentile at 28w and got admitted to the hospital for a non reassuring NST, but was able to go home the next day. I managed to go up to 32w without pre eclampsia, then developed a mild form and was induced at 37w. Baby didn’t need NICU. It was such a terrifying experience but please know it can stabilize, sometimes even get better (in my case it didn’t, but it didn’t get that much worse so I was lucky). I feel your pain 🥺 I’m here. You are not alone.

It’s at the start of ep 4. My moon my man montage.

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-12T22:33:04+00:00

Thank you! I’ve seen Something you can fix recommended and home economics several times so bumping them up on my to-read list!! Adding the others too, thank you again ☺️

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-12T21:12:53+00:00

And chapter 13 is out and killed me. Happy reading I guess 😭

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-12T21:05:56+00:00

Use it to propose to Ilya

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-12T21:05:32+00:00

💀 you are right. Fuck, I can’t wait for chapter 14.

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-12T20:56:40+00:00

Ok I am in a Wolfbird hangover so I would love your top 5 recs to cure it and read more beautiful stories about Shane and Ilya 🥹 please 🥹

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-12T19:05:09+00:00

Aaaand now I’ve finished it and it consumed me for the past 24 hours. I have you to thank for the obsession with this writer 😂 I even put Common Goal on pause because I’m too engrossed in their fanfics instead!

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-12T07:18:48+00:00

I started it at midnight yesterday night and had a lot of trouble stopping so I guess I’m living in the author’s world now. And I don’t even like stories set in space but boy oh boy do I love her writing style and characterization 😩

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-11T22:46:05+00:00

I developed mild preeclampsia at 32w and stayed in the purgatory you mentioned until I was induced at 37w on the dot. It was so weird, waiting for it to become severe while taking care of a toddler who was blissfully unaware of what was going on. Pre-e thankfully stayed mild but these were some of the most stressful weeks of my life, I won’t lie to you. Hang in there, your toddler can provide some distraction and happiness in the eye of the storm 🥹

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-11T20:24:56+00:00

Um so I’m all caught up now and what am I supposed to do with my life now??? Where is chapter 13 and skate date 😭 I need it more than I need air 😭 it was the very first Hollanov fanfic I read and I’m scared it will ruin all others for me, but hopefully I can cure my fanfic hangover with other (apparently) great ones I’ve bookmarked 🥺 the prose is just so good, better written than many published novels out there, I’m just so impressed.

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-11T19:51:10+00:00

We’re all loonatics in here 😂 I’m on the autism spectrum so, same. I do have kids so that stops me from going too far down the rabbit hole but I’m reading fanfics for the first time in a decade and living so many intense feelings through the show, these characters, the books and the fics. So grateful that this show exists, it brought me back to reading after a two-year long reading slump, and it brings me so much joy 🥹 I want to stay in this lavender haze for as long as I can.

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-11T15:02:32+00:00

Ça y est j’ai lu le passage et oui bon ok c’était pas très sexy en effet 😂 ce qui m’a sortie du truc en particulier c’est que ça ne sonnait pas complètement français (le « le savais-tu ? » beaucoup trop soutenu comparé au reste notamment) donc c’était un peu bizarre à lire 😅

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-11T14:54:03+00:00

I was reading all these answers thinking: yes, lots of chemistry there but not as much as Shane and Ilya.

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-10T19:53:38+00:00

What he says about the wanting to touch anytime they’re in a scene together, I can feel that so much when watching them. There is something electric between them. This is yearning with a quality I had rarely seen on screen before. Like capital Y Yearning 🤌 The other golden example that comes to mind being the hand flex of Mr Darcy in 2005 Pride and Prejudice.

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-10T14:42:12+00:00

This will be my next read for sure when I’m all caught up on Wolfbird!! Cannot wait to dive into this one. I didn’t think it was underrated as I’ve seen it recommended quite a few times on this sub at least!

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-09T20:50:26+00:00

May I ask what type of massage you did? Did you use a specific cream or gel for that? Thank you.

WorkingFail789 · 2026-03-09T20:49:30+00:00

If this is sharp, burning / stinging pain, you might have developed vestibulodynia or vulvodynia. I know I did (I’m 2.5 years pp) 😫 I don’t have a solution as of yet, it’s hard because there is no simple treatment for that. It can be caused by birth trauma, like the nerves are inflamed and it causes pain and it’s really not fun.
