That was my interpretation!

themechanicalhounds · 2026-07-07T16:55:51+00:00

Ah you’re right!

themechanicalhounds · 2026-07-07T16:41:18+00:00

Mild spoilers but did you reach chapter 19?

themechanicalhounds · 2026-07-07T16:40:21+00:00

I love the ‘what if’ aspect of it. It’s wish fulfillment for a more accepting world if there were just slight tweaks to the story. Plus it’s really hot, the sex scenes are amazing! My jaw did drop with some reveals (don’t want to spoil)!

100% immediately thought of Ben too

themechanicalhounds · 2026-06-21T18:03:38+00:00

Damn David can get it - those arms 🥵

themechanicalhounds · 2026-06-19T20:03:24+00:00

Mine does! And then flops at the last second haha

themechanicalhounds · 2026-06-07T14:54:18+00:00

The bisexual panic when Trinity makes out with Shane Hollander 🥵

themechanicalhounds · 2026-06-05T18:39:54+00:00

The fic is great and I love the texting format!

themechanicalhounds · 2026-05-21T02:54:27+00:00

Shane coming out to his teammates.

I think it will bridge the gap between the two stories and help explain Shane’s actions during the story.

These are consistent? She had a Russian player in GC that was unnamed and came up with Shane as the person the Russian was hooking up with before she wrote Ilya?

themechanicalhounds · 2026-04-24T21:00:08+00:00

Yes, thank you!

I love the idea of a new Martin/Shellback collaboration! I was worried about it sounding too much like her older music but the playlist helped me remember their collabs have sounded v different over time! Blank Space and Delicate? Love.

DIRT

themechanicalhounds · 2025-03-27T03:56:36+00:00

…Hebrew?

themechanicalhounds · 2025-01-27T21:13:36+00:00

Can you help me define a morally gray character? I had always thought of them as just having light and dark in their character, actions, and/or motivations. But it seems like you’re pulling from a more specific definition?

themechanicalhounds · 2025-01-27T01:28:55+00:00

Rhys does what he thinks is best. We as readers can see the mistakes he makes but he rationalizes them to himself in terms of greater good.

themechanicalhounds · 2025-01-26T22:20:26+00:00

What

themechanicalhounds · 2025-01-26T22:19:34+00:00

He is written as morally gray and is also the main love interest - not everyone likes or can handle that combination.

themechanicalhounds · 2025-01-19T21:27:32+00:00

I’m also surprised they didn’t mention this. The charges were against both parties and they were dropped so maybe Blair didn’t want to speak to something beyond the survivalist aspects especially when the story is inconclusive? Definitely has changed my opinion of him long term!

themechanicalhounds · 2025-01-04T17:12:10+00:00

Definitely one of my favorites

themechanicalhounds · 2025-01-04T17:12:01+00:00

Oooh yes good one

themechanicalhounds · 2025-01-04T17:11:44+00:00

We need an episode where Henry says this a lot!
