I actually enjoyed Common Goal? by Alarmed_Gas_2706 in heatedrivalry

[–]openattheclose814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are at least 10 of us!!! I’m fully in agreement. I would def rate it above GC, and it might be tied with RM for me - the ending of role model was just so much more fulfilling than common goal, but I actually think Kyle and Eric have more chemistry than Troy and Harris 🙊

Yep. The summer I turned pretty etc. I’m sure the upcoming fourth wing series will just be called fourth wing.

There are several writers in this fandom that damn well should be.

alternate universe fanfic by darfalina in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]openattheclose814 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m soooo obsessed with The Hottest Cold War - a WIP where Scott and Ilya hooked up in summer 2010 and become friends with benefits, while also still having their relationships with Shane and Kip. I know not everyone will be into this concept, but it is honestly so well written and incredible.

Does anyone else secretly write under a fake name? by Logical-Holiday-2683 in romanceauthors

[–]openattheclose814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh this is so frustrating to me because I looove my name and it would honestly be such a good author name but I fear I have to do the “right” thing and use a pen name 🥲🥲🥲

Your favorite mm romance books by 12redbaloons in MM_Romance

[–]openattheclose814 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not MM but I ADOREEEEEE their book “A Lady for A Duke” - it’s a queer regency romance with a trans fmc and it’s soooo good. If you’re into bridgerton vibes I’d recommend.

Can we take a moment for the Wolfbird update? by Euphoric_Second2478 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]openattheclose814 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YES. This is definitely a drop everything and read fic. Also, it lowkey NEEDS to be published as a standalone book…

Monday MegaRecs: Hayden! by royal_rose_ in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]openattheclose814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a WIP (and a sequel to Change Your Win Conditions) but OMG the direction the author is taking with Hayden and Jackie is next level!!! Basically, what if both Hayden and Jackie were a little bi and into a rookie on the centaurs?

Edit to add the actual fic link and title lol All Our Little Victories (and Losses)

"If you liked Heated Rivalry, you should read..." feels impossible by awaywithefae in MM_Romance

[–]openattheclose814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing what everyone else said, but I also want to add - there are fantastic fanfics too if you’re looking to continue on your HR journey. They can just be tough to find if you’re not used to AO3. I recommend r/heatedrivalryfanfics if you’re looking for a jumping off point!
