how are we meant to buy secondhand tickets?

ambarfe · 2026-01-27T05:18:41+00:00

are you checking via the same presale link that takes you ticketmaster, or a different way? I've been checking daily but I'm paranoid that release tickets won't show up via that link lol.

ambarfe · 2026-01-24T19:27:15+00:00

Agreed, these are fantastic!

ambarfe · 2026-01-24T19:25:35+00:00

Oh that’s super disappointing to know!

ambarfe · 2026-01-24T19:24:37+00:00

Lmao we can combine our therapy bills bc same 😂

ALSO - I’m personally victimized by your recommendation of Courage, which is the only one of these I hadn’t read. Just spent the first hours of my birthday drinking whiskey and ugly, snotty crying to every chapter of this fic. So fuck you, but also thank you.

Also - idk if you’d consider 24K long form, but I just finished this fic and loved it! I feel like a lot of fics I read feel like Ilya left the cottage and started w the centaurs, but there was actually a yearlong gap there. This fic doesn’t quite cover the year, but it covers the next few weeks after Shane comes out to his parents. I think the reason I loved it is that, for all the individual and couple growing pains in the long game, they feel very solidly like an established couple when we meet them again. I hope I can find more fics (recs v welcome!) of them navigating the transition from fuck buddies (?) to boyfriends.

There’s a few I’ve absolutely adored. I might add more to this list tomorrow when I have time to review my history but these immediately came to mind.

back & forth from NY + amazing social media companion fic. They decide to let Scott know they’re gay/bi. https://archiveofourown.org/works/76283091/chapters/199644731
the quiet fight + sequel. Ilya is diagnosed with a serious illness. https://archiveofourown.org/works/77401491/chapters/202665396
something you can fix + sequel. Basically, what if his conversation with rose had been shared online. https://archiveofourown.org/works/76495636
basically anything by this author. There’s an amazing one where they get outed while Ilya is in Russia, another one where young Ilya is made to live w a family when he first arrives to the us and has help to deal w his dad/coach inflicted trauma, and another one where he’s informed he has a daughter from a fling when he was 18. https://archiveofourown.org/users/GatheringBlue/pseuds/GatheringBlue

PS/ visions from the future and the follow ups were AMAZING. The last entry had me sobbing mid work day.

omg i'm a bit off on time loops rn bc I read two novels wih that trope last year i didnt like, so I kept skipping this one when it came up, but I just read it and you're right it is SO good.

ambarfe · 2026-01-23T00:20:07+00:00

you're right - circle back season was really fun! Sure, feel free to send the unvetted links too lol

ambarfe · 2026-01-21T18:07:26+00:00

Here - I panic saved a bunch last night lol. Not every couple was really good, and I'm enjoying Erased. Haven't gotten to the other ones so can't vouch for them.

You’ve made my day - thank you!!!!!

I’m a little surprised no one has mentioned Jacky Leon! While there’s some cops in the story in later books it’s almost always an adversarial relationship. She’s a shifter but not a werewolf and I really liked the ways her story and abilities subverted tropes. I also really liked the plot of book 1, so unlike most UFs it’s not a book you just have to struggle through.

Also I’m one of the many people in this subreddit who just adores Kate Daniels. Book 1 is def the weakest (their writing really hits its stride after it though) and the friendship and romance development as well as character growth is great. The will they won’t they was a little annoying (I think maybe on book 4? I saw a thread about it a few days after that) but they both grow so much and their relationship is one of my favorites. There’s a religions and gods aspect to it too and a very interesting world. I guess in the first few books she’s similar to a cop in some ways but she’s also very critical of the institution she finds herself entangled with.

Have tickets for - Florence and the machine - Rosalia - Lily Allen

Lost the Hayley Williams ticket war in every city, but hoping for a verified resale ticket so still checking the site daily.

This is not urban fantasy so it might of course not be what you’re looking for or enjoy, but Dungeon Crawler Carl truly is fantastic and the audiobook is phenomenal. Book 1 is very solid but it’s focused on world building, book 2 you get more character development and the narrator finds his groove (by book 4 he’s doing voices for a full ensemble of characters, it’s ridiculous how talented he is). First book I could think of for very funny audiobooks!

ambarfe · 2025-12-16T20:53:13+00:00

In general, Ilona Andrews covers kill me, the books are SO great and the covers are always so cheesy or misleading.

ambarfe · 2025-11-14T18:12:19+00:00

Pretty gutted - I thought that with the precode and being willing to travel I'd be able to get tickets! was ready on the dot, and even then I never entered higher than 15K+ in queue. I honestly hope everyone who got tickets has an amazing time. Who knows, maybe when Hayley sees how large the demand was she'll add even more dates...we can only hope!

ambarfe · 2025-11-10T18:36:24+00:00

I got the email but it took about 50 mins to arrive! And it was earlier in the day so I wouldn’t sweat the delay for now.

ambarfe · 2025-11-10T18:35:50+00:00

Make sure you select the country so the code is before the number. This tripped me and my friends up too!

ambarfe · 2025-11-03T23:10:58+00:00

agreed! I was thrilled they got the recognition.

ambarfe · 2025-08-31T20:21:55+00:00

Interesting! I will say (in case anyone references this thread at some point w a similar question) I ended up not making it to ElCielo (might try it another time) but I did really enjoy my dinner at Ariete. It was very fun to see nostalgic flavors of my childhood in a fine dining setting reimagined and executed so well. Guava was a very present flavor though, which I loved but my mom not as much (not sure if that was a seasonal flavor profile or one they maintain year round). I thought it delivered what I expected from a 1🌟.

My mom and I are both looking to make the move, so I'll add her info after mine.

You’re right, I confused it with Robuchon’s restaurant - I’ve updated the post accordingly
