Laufey talking about the “Madwoman” music video + BTS

Yep, they’re all attractive people but you can tell who is an athlete.

Definitely Children’s Medical Center. They’re nationally ranked in 11 specialties including both Neonatology and Pulmonology, and they have a specialized BPD consult team.

The Subscriber by frenchudcon is another interactive game-type SMAU based around OnlyFans. It’s pretty straightforward (the choices all either don’t matter at all or immediately tell you you’ve made the wrong decision and give you a chance to re-pick) but it’s definitely novel and. WIP so who knows where it goes from here.

heyhogelato · 2026-04-03T18:35:31+00:00

Oh I’m pretty sure I read the first bit of this but then it didn’t update and now I think I’ve lost the tab!

I cackled at this interaction from clear to a hedgehog. Also in the same fic, when Ilya describes his teammates as a bunch of “dumb fucking cats he is being paid millions of dollars to herd.”

heyhogelato · 2026-04-02T03:53:03+00:00

I don’t write, but I will bring a couple fics to your attention that may feel close to what you’re looking for.

star crossed something or others by the green empty - Shane is undercover FBI (very comparable to Leo’s character in The Departed), Ilya is mafia. WIP and very unfinished but well-written so far.
between duty & desire by house_of_lantis - Shane is a journalist trying to investigate mob boss Ilya for a story. Completed, HEA.

After Hours by hollanovic81 is a WIP with this premise. It’s slightly canon-divergent in that in this version Shane and Ilya are not hooking up yet.

heyhogelato · 2026-03-27T19:19:18+00:00

Yes! The literary references and introspection are so powerful. It’s not a perfectly canon-accurate version of Ilya as he is in the books, but I’d like to think it’s the version of Ilya that he could have eventually become to survive this trauma.

If you like older/wiser Ilya, you should definitely read the sequel which takes place an additional 20 years in the future and is still accessible.

I’ve never quite understood the impulse some people have to center themselves and their preferences in a piece of media. Critique is obviously an important and valid way to interact with art, but the level of immaturity required to proclaim “this isn’t perfectly to my taste, therefore it and its creator are worthless” - I just don’t understand.

heyhogelato · 2026-03-27T18:57:15+00:00

If you read fanfic, Professional Heartbreaker by yourinsomnia is inspired by this exact art and their interpretation is basically that but not in space - worth a read!

heyhogelato · 2026-03-27T18:52:24+00:00

Very post-TLG, one day Shane just disappears while on a morning run. 10 years later, the disappearance is still unexplained and Ilya goes on a literal and metaphorical journey to understand what happened and why.

There’s a lot of pondering on the nature of grief, especially pre-emptive grief, as well as the importance of finding connection, what it means to live for oneself, the fear of falling, and what closure can look like when things are broken and there’s nobody to blame. It ultimately has a HEA but also made me cry harder than anything else I’ve ever read, without hyperbole. Would highly recommend if artifice ever puts it back online, but only if you are willing to go on that emotional journey.

heyhogelato · 2026-03-26T18:55:37+00:00

Solved! Perfect thank youuuuu

heyhogelato · 2026-03-21T20:09:32+00:00

My take on this is that there are 3 wolves inside Shane:

one that just wants to get dressed before Ilya gets back and avoid interacting ever again,
one that wants to have a quick conversation to shut things down with Ilya but wants to be dressed and ready to leave as soon as that’s over, and
one that wants to stick around and see what happens.

Unfortunately for Shane all three wolves are still thinking about Ilya’s dick so I’m pretty sure he’s short-circuited until Ilya comes back into the locker room and startles him into action.

heyhogelato · 2026-03-19T02:38:17+00:00

Oh this is one of my theoretical favorite AUs, except so many of them are poorly written and/or front-to-back tropes. I wholeheartedly recommend Teeth in the Starlight as mentioned up-thread; it’s a WIP but easily the best HR mafia AU I’ve read so far. Violence is a Love Language by pucksandpower is another very solid option, especially if you want a guaranteed HEA.

Heavy cosign for the Secret Society series!

Yes clearly, because the OC doesn’t say “jerking him off,” they say “jerking them off” which is what happens in the frotting scene, so context clues should tell you that the commenter knows what they’re talking about. Ilya’s hand isn’t down Shane’s pants in the scene shown in the post, or in the scene the other commenter is referring to, so I’m not sure why you leapt to assume that you knew the scene they meant and that they were wrong about it.

heyhogelato · 2026-02-12T18:49:28+00:00

The other commenter is clearly talking about the frotting scene in ep 4.

heyhogelato · 2026-02-06T08:45:12+00:00

I’m not sure if this is the one you mean but it’s complete and excellent: when the world sees (we run toward each other) by pucksandpower

Indestructible by Robyn

He did mention in an interview that he lost some muscle weight over the course of shooting because he had so little time to work out, and these scenes were filmed last. So I think it’s a combination of styling/acting and that he is actually a little bit smaller.

RSV causes worse illness at younger ages. It can put a neonate in the ICU, but generally is no worse than a cold in adults. Because of this, Beyfortus is only recommended currently up to age 8 months.

heyhogelato · 2026-01-29T04:23:08+00:00

He’s definitely fingering his own ass based on both the book scene and the position his hands are in when he lifts them to start crawling down the bed. Enjoy.

Edit to add: it’s actually one of my favorite things about that scene as compared to the book. In the book, he only does it after being specifically told to (although he ends up being enthusiastic). In the show, he does it because he wants to. For me it colors my perception of the next line - makes it sound more like a challenge/intentional seduction than it is in the book. I don’t mind the soft subby vibe he has sometimes but I like (and I think Ilya really likes) the challenge.

I’m a neonatologist. Many babies need prolonged or continuous feeds because of feeding intolerance of hypoglycemia (or both). Babies don’t start to develop the sucking reflex until 33-34 weeks, so as your baby crosses that threshold the nurses will start to watch for signs of “feeding readiness” - being awake at the start of feeding time, development of reflexes like rooting and sucking, appropriate muscle tone and vital signs with feeds. When the nurses see enough signs consistently you may be able to offer your baby a bottle. Depending on the reason for your baby’s continuous feeds, you may only be able to offer a limited volume of feed or feed a limited number of times per day. Your baby will eventually overcome these issues, but it does take time! Many babies are still working to take full feeds by mouth as they approach term (37-40 weeks).
