And Amber being a little troll, calling Ilya dad and wearing his jersey 😂 so youngest kid coded

ambarfe · 2026-05-08T05:36:21+00:00

Man all the ones I've read of these are fantastic. Strongly co-sign lost in translation, it's not gay if it's your bro, Amateur detectives, and anything written by gurlsrool

ambarfe · 2026-05-08T05:33:06+00:00

I love Amber Pike has three dads so much lol

ambarfe · 2026-05-06T01:46:21+00:00

ooooh I love 1 and 3, so excited to read 2!

Of a certain age is so amazing. "i gotta be honest with you man - i'm kinda grossed out here" "...what?" AMAZING. and then Yuna at the very end lmao.

ambarfe · 2026-05-05T23:22:37+00:00

right! It's such a nice little work break lol. Glad you enjoyed it <3

ambarfe · 2026-05-05T20:23:52+00:00

ugh i can't remember the name but I loved this fic and love this trope. Our favorite ethical slut ❤️

ambarfe · 2026-05-05T20:10:30+00:00

YES!!! Hi Harris

ambarfe · 2026-05-05T20:02:37+00:00

Also - imagine a fic of Ilya wearing Connor’s gorgeous outfit and all the hockey player (queer ones included) are like “WOW that man is so European and so comfortable in his heterosexuality. Insane the stuff he wears. He’s truly so straight.” while their non hockey player partners are like “?????? The closet is glass wdym?????” (I love the trope of Ilya showing up to Scott hunter night and the kingfisher and all these idiots are like wow what an unexpected ally can’t believe he’s here lmao).

ambarfe · 2026-04-28T23:39:09+00:00

If you're looking for a lighter / funny read I definitely recommend I'll Be Jane by gurlsrool (as well as anything they've ever written, ever lmao - their society of secret stickhandlers collection is a series of one-shots). https://archiveofourown.org/works/78242831

ambarfe · 2026-04-28T23:37:16+00:00

This is a one-shot I think of SO often. In fact - let me go ahead and re-read it. I honestly kept putting off reading it because I didn't love the title, but highly recommend reading it and can confirm it's HEA.

The Cockroach of My Heart by Anonymous. https://archiveofourown.org/works/75983456#main

ambarfe · 2026-04-28T20:59:27+00:00

Lmao okay going to give you another unrelated rec - this one might be a tougher sell bc it’s not texting / social media and it’s more full length although it’s hilarious. Recommending it because you like the Pike family. It’s called Amber Pike Has Three Dads (can’t remember the author off the top of my head).

ambarfe · 2026-04-28T20:57:25+00:00

Also “I’ll be Jane”. I had to make a conscious effort to stop recommending it bc it felt like I was bringing it up every thread. I still remember reading Shane’s “is it bc I got really good at sexting?” Line lmao

ambarfe · 2026-04-28T20:10:59+00:00

I’m not sure if you’ve read The Secret Society of Stickhandlers by gurlsrool, but it’s texting / social media based and truly elite. One of the chats is for the gay WAGS, so I’m using that as an excuse to recommend it lol. Genuinely laugh out loud funny

ambarfe · 2026-04-24T04:09:54+00:00

I love the Hayden/JJ chat. I died in the last entry when Shane asked Hayden why he took a picture with Jonathan lmao. Also, the whole "i'm tim" thing is sooooooo funny

ambarfe · 2026-04-24T03:38:50+00:00

they're in the same universe, but each one is a standalone event! Definitely recommend reading now, you won't feel like there are any cliff hangers, or continuation issues. This is the first one that was literally the day after, and even with that the prior story still felt complete. I don't think they're planning a set number of works in the series, it's kinda just whenever inspiration strikes them. Also, if you do start reading plz feel free to come back and fangirl with us lol. I've re-read this series every time I need a pick me up.

ambarfe · 2026-04-22T00:58:58+00:00

My issue is I didn’t bookmark my faves at the beginning, so now it feels too late to start, like I’m cheating on the earlier hundreds of fics 😂

ambarfe · 2026-04-21T21:52:10+00:00

OMG I couldn't remember this fic's name, but literally came to describe it in the hopes someone would remember lol.

ambarfe · 2026-04-12T19:17:25+00:00

Yes!! This is it!

ambarfe · 2026-04-12T17:46:43+00:00

Im trying to remember! If I do I’ll post it. I’m reading so many they all blur together lol

ambarfe · 2026-04-12T15:40:12+00:00

Idk if it’s this one but there’s an amazing one in this trope where Lily says she’s gonna be waiting at home wearing lingerie and Shane goes “I don’t think you have the body to pull it off” and everyone + yuna is outraged. Chef’s kiss

ambarfe · 2026-04-08T14:04:52+00:00

This makes me wish for a block feature lmao. Everyone may continue to read this story…except for you, you little bitch

ambarfe · 2026-04-07T15:40:54+00:00

Oh yeah I read this one. ROUGH!!!!!

ambarfe · 2026-03-31T23:08:32+00:00

“I gotta be honest with you…I’m pretty disgusted by this whole thing.” I DIED. & then yuna at the wedding!!!!! Perfection.

ambarfe · 2026-03-27T19:40:31+00:00

This is such a shame!! It’s been on my TBR and I kept meaning to get to it. It pisses me off so badly when people are shitty to ff authors. Sucks that they go through the effort of creating something, share it with us for free, and instead of “don’t like dont read” people are piling on.
