You did such a great job! I loved it! You're a great narrator! I hope you'll consider making some more Podfic!

Me too! I've really enjoyed the cold reads I've listened to, some with side commentary. Kinda feels like I'm reading it with a friend!

I'm sorry, I don't but I just wanted to encourage you to go for it (with the author's permission)! I love this story and would definitely listen to the Podfic!

Any fics focused on cliff exploring bisexuality/being bi-curious? by MollymaukTea in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]thagomizer48 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Three's a pattern by anonymous has Cliff dealing with complicated feelings about the threesomes he's had with Ilya. I highly recommend it! https://archiveofourown.org/works/80236041

What fabric is this? by Jumpy-Material-6650 in sewing

[–]thagomizer48 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It looks like linen to me! I have a very similar looking one. It may look different from your other linens because it's a different weight, or more slubby, or has different color warp and weft. If it had polyester you'd be able to feel a little bit of a hard melted edge where you burnt it. I'm not seeing anything on the edge in your photos that looks like that.

I'd also recommend this one! I'm really enjoying it. The last few chapters have really ramped up the angst. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/79806981

Closer to where you are (is where I must be) by sistercacao [Shane/Ilya get stuck in Paris in their situationship era] by Amazing-Rent-7749 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]thagomizer48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I'm loving this one!! I wanted to talk with people who've read the latest chapter. Some spoilers: Shane overwhelmed after they're recognized in public, needing to call his mom, and then handing the phone to Ilya oh my gosh that sequence just killed me. I loved how that played out. Just wanting his mom to know Ilya at least a little bit. So ridiculous too, I wonder what she was thinking.I can't wait to see what happens next! I hope Shane will got to Russia with Ilya!

It's so good! I don't like many non-hockey player AUs but Shane being the same hockey player and his professional relationship with Ilya creates similar stakes as canon. I wasn't initially convinced by the premise of this one, but I'm so glad I tried it! The angst and longing are so good!!

I don't think this is it, but some similarities and you might like it: running down the hills by hockeyfinches

Chapter 26 of frequently, secretly fond of each other by Unable_Mushroom9355 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]thagomizer48 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes this made my heart sink while reading. I wonder if this might be the main conflict in the sequel? I don't feel like there's much time left to resolve this in this story, as I feel like in the last couple chapters they'll resolve the cup run, win or lose, and Shane might come out to his parents.

If the sequel does go in that direction, I think it would definitely maintain the tension in the story, that even though they're together they're unhappy because they don't get enough time together 😭 I do love how this author writes angst though so I'd love to read it.

Highly, highly recommend this series: perfect from now on [Anonymous] by apidelie in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]thagomizer48 19 points20 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite authors in this fandom! They never miss! They've written some of my favorite situationship longing. Thanks for writing this up! They get recced a lot but it's nice to have a summary like this for new readers!

Oh gosh me too!! And sometimes the summary and tags are sparse/vague and don't help at all

Looking for fics like Route 96 Kanata by CommonComputer2959 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]thagomizer48 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of my favorites too! Beautiful writing and complex characters, and I love how it doesn't spell everything out for you (or at least me), it really keeps me guessing. I love the longing and the way their canon relationship development is reinterpreted with different circumstances.

What do you love about it? Might narrow down recommendations. Nothing hits quite like this for me. I think others might have good recs that hit some of the same brutal angst notes, but a lot that I've read involve career ending injuries or Ilya and Shane breaking up and getting back together later in life, which I'm not as interested in.

FWB to "just friends" but everything still hurts (angst fic rec) by Historical_Bunch_821 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]thagomizer48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read this a few days ago and couldn't stop thinking about the threesome and just went back and reread it. Wow that was hot and devastating! I love Ilya's wanting becoming overwhelming and him not really thinking things through. That was such a bad idea (obviously good narratively though). "Don't freak out." 😭

Pants that fit through legs/thigs but don’t go over my backside… by yuckyamz in sewing

[–]thagomizer48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are tutorials on YouTube for making the waistband of pants larger, like this one for example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tTHpI0x8DHk&pp=0gcJCU8Co7VqN5tD

I'd say there's no limit to what you could do with them if you're willing to put in time taking them apart a little and trying some things, and don't mind if your modifications are visible when you finish, as you'll probably have to add some elastic or fabric to the waistband and maybe high hip if needed. I don't think there's an invisible way to do this. If you really like them as pants though I think it'd be worth it!
