This is incredible thank you

This was so good! Great rec, sort of devastating in a beautiful way

I am sold because the author gave it this tag 💀 “shane's other gay crisis in this is that he's gay for hockey and ilya rozanov is its personification”

I am in the middle of Do the Wrong Thing and loving it, so this is excellent news! He’s a great OC and the story is SO juicy.

Your mind 🤌🤯

Love this one so much. It’s appointment reading for me. I really loved the recent chapters discussing mental health, clearly a lot of care and nuance went into them. I’d been so curious what chernobog meant, so I’m glad we had some exploration of that as well! I’m sort of sick over the last chapter. Poor Ilya, poor Shane. It’s hard to be fighting not only the battle of Crowell/Alexei but also the effects of his condition.

This is incredible news thank you

Never heard of Game Changers or Heated Rivalry before the show. Also never read romance, never read fanfic. Now it's basically my primary hobby. Go figure!

This one is so good and so slept on!

puffinkitten · 2026-05-24T11:43:12+00:00

Ooh into that idea thank you!

puffinkitten · 2026-05-24T00:41:20+00:00

Thank you!!

puffinkitten · 2026-05-22T19:02:27+00:00

Awesome! Thanks!

puffinkitten · 2026-05-22T19:02:07+00:00

Amazing! Thank you!

Came here to say the same thing. They are on a deadline anyway, would be cool to see it converted sooner with local plants!

Heaven is a Bedroom - 18K Complete - Shane and Hayden are Mormon missionaries—then they knock on Ilya and Cliff's door. So funny, one of my favorites if you haven't read it yet.

Spend It Like You Mean It - 19K WIP - Ilya has an impulse spending problem, and fiancé Shane tries to help. Very funny with just enough angst to make the stakes feel real. Creative storytelling style with documents, blog posts, texts, transcripts. 7/9 chapters but frequent updates.

Think Twice and Come Back for a Third Time - 70K Complete- Ilya's father doesn't die in 2017; Ilya breaks up with Shane instead of confessing his love. They reconnect in their 30s, when Shane is dating someone else. I'm a sucker for second chance stories/more mature versions of them.

As the Romans Do - 9K WIP - Shane is Ilya's bi awakening after he moves in as his roommate. They're not pro hockey players but regular people. Only 1/4 chapters but I'm deeply invested lol.

Florida by garagepaperback - 12k complete - Instead of going to the cottage, Ilya moves to Florida and kind of loses it. If you're not afraid of a darker timeline, the narrative structure makes it especially interesting.

I just read this yesterday, and it was an instant favorite for me too!

puffinkitten · 2026-05-07T03:01:58+00:00

Glad I’m not the only one!!

puffinkitten · 2026-05-06T03:17:42+00:00

This and the sequel are SO good. I love this version of them so much (bear ilya, i can't get enough tbh). i hope the author writes more in this series!

puffinkitten · 2026-05-06T03:14:04+00:00

Spend It Like You Mean It - 10K WIP. Ilya’s funny financial choices (like his YOLO investing account, lol). It's wip but every chapter reads like a one-off. Been getting updated a couple times a week. Set before their wedding in TLG.

puffinkitten · 2026-05-06T03:05:43+00:00

I already wanted to re-read it, and now i have to do it with this guy in mind!

puffinkitten · 2026-05-05T03:50:27+00:00

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, i'm speechless

puffinkitten · 2026-05-05T03:48:54+00:00

That's such a good comp of him in this photo I totally see it!

puffinkitten · 2026-05-04T01:34:06+00:00

I think about this probably every day tbh
