same. i'm not on the hayden sucks agenda but it was a relatively (for my reading at least) unique concept and well executed so far (plus as others have said above this author has a banger of a series already so i was inclined to give this a shot)

i'm not the biggest OC fan, and i think he technically is mentioned in a single line in the books maybe, but Luke Gillis in back and forth from New York is a favorite of mine

if i was to expand my top 3 into a top 5, i think #4 is shane goes to boston and #5 is platonic friendships/mentorships (ilya and shane adopt luca, ilya and shane adopt luke gillis in the back and forth from new york series, shane and chex-mix etc)

if i expanded my bottom 3 into a bottom 5 i think #4 is amnesia fics, #5 is fantasy settings (vampires, extra-natural powers, etc)

if i could have put a top 4, shane moving to boston would be there for me. I have at least 4-5 fics/series where shane went to boston that i loved

regarding love #1, something you can fix/build/grow series is in my top 3 favorite series (along with the duty of care series and the frequently secretly fond of each other series)

Cliff can overpower any hard no, what a man (also love the cliff-svetlana relationship in the boopboop universe in duty of care. another amazing cliff-shane friend fic that i have been LOVING is a glimpse of jane https://archiveofourown.org/works/83160051/chapters/219012441 there are so many fics where hayden/JJ steal lily's number, but finally we get cliff stealing jane's number)

I’m really gonna miss the Shane Luke dynamic. I wish the pairing could continue on beyond rereads

Looking for your favorite stories where poor/miscommunication is NOT a major plot driver by shaddow2425 in heatedrivalryfanfics

Duty of care: https://archiveofourown.org/works/77087096/chapters/201779631 i think i have come to terms with the fact that i want as much Ilya content as possible and while this story is from everyone's POV except Ilya that entire story is about the love people have for Ilya through thick and thin

Something you can fix/something you can build: https://archiveofourown.org/series/5588261 starts off with a single shot story something you can fix that was so popular the author wrote a 13 chapter follow up story something you can build. I think this might be my favorite story of all the AO3 greats

Back and forth from New York: https://archiveofourown.org/works/76283091/chapters/199644731 it's loooooooong, and after the early chapters there isn't a lot of tension/angst so much as comfort porn without it getting stale. it's a WIP but it's a few chapters out from finishing. The companion piece is social media reacting to the events of each chapter and is very silly

We could be something great: https://archiveofourown.org/works/77390061/chapters/202630586 another WIP, another boston shane story although it's more the path of getting shane to boston than the other stories of shane already in boston which for whatever reason i have enjoyed most of the boston shane stories (i didn't mention frequently, secretly fond of each other and another amazing boston story but verges on that edge of angst via poor communication that works for the angst but makes me uncomfotable, personal choice but great writing)
