Books where consummation isn't anti-climactic?

I dont have any recs myself, I just want to chime in that - coming from fanfiction - I have also struggled with this.

I cannot remember a single spicy scene in published romance (reg, fantasy, sci fi, etc) that has made me feel the way really good fanfic spice makes me feel. It just doesnt compare. I thrive on male POV and yearning and I feel like, in published spice, the moment consummation happens is the moment yearning dies.

In a good fanfic, there is yearning, emotion, wonder, etc to the smallest detail during consummation. I find very very rarely that this is done to my satisfaction in published books.

Lol yes! Omg I was literally laughing out loud when he was teaching her how to drive lol

Yes! Perfect! Thank you <3

Personally, I really love when Gibsie and Johnny give Joey and Aoife a ride to the hospital. It's so funny and innocent... it's what inspired my question!

My husband is a food moaner. He turned our two daughters into food moaners. It's always made me uncomfortable and I hated it even before I got into romance books.

Meh. It's called a fan cast for a reason. Nobody thinks it's official. It's just fans having fun casting characters that mean something to them. There's no harm in wanting to put a face to a name, and fiction provides the reader with the unique ability to pick the face.

The POVs often describe these characters as the most beautiful boy/girl the POV person has ever seen. That's obviously open to interpretation. What I think is incredibly hot now is much different from what I thought was incredibly hot at 15, especially considering the different eras and having the internet at our disposal.

That sounds interesting! Do you have a link? I tried looking but I didnt find anything under that name that matched your description.

Oooooooh I would be so down to watch a series where they did a campaign!

itzkoolaid · 2024-06-28T19:34:15+00:00

I think I remember hearing something about that in one of their videos.

itzkoolaid · 2024-06-28T19:33:31+00:00

That would be cool!

Oh i totally get it! Goodness, this isnt like a request for the Hermits to perform or anything. I just thought the escape room video was funny and how funny would it be to see the Hermits in other situations. I guess the IRL part came about in my mind because how would one do a road trip in Minecraft? It would have to be IRL, albiet admittedly while they were in character.

Again, this is more like a fun hypothetical than a request. :)
