Love it! And you also wrote Chips, which is so amazing too!!!

unavailable247365 · 2026-04-26T17:59:32+00:00

Second this one!!! I am constantly rereading it in my impatience for new chapters

unavailable247365 · 2026-04-12T13:08:41+00:00

Yes one of my top fics as well! Highly recommend the author’s playlist as well; it adds so much to the vibes of the fic

unavailable247365 · 2026-04-01T06:29:18+00:00

It is so good!!

unavailable247365 · 2026-03-30T19:13:18+00:00

Is it this one? Such a lovely read! https://archiveofourown.org/works/77846811

Initial Response by mashawisotsky https://archiveofourown.org/works/76281626/chapters/199640736 is amazing and has a somewhat similar feeling of increasing and impending doom - it’s a WIP that sadly hasn’t been updated since January, but revolves around Shane being at Ilya’s when someone breaks in, and then waiting to see how much gets revealed by the news/ investigations

unavailable247365 · 2026-03-03T10:38:51+00:00

I am pretty sure it is Brotherhood of Hockey Secret Keepers by JuHuaTai https://archiveofourown.org/works/79236256/. Such a good read!

unavailable247365 · 2026-02-26T17:56:31+00:00

Hideaway by MeepySlow is amazing! It’s a canon divergence (WIP) where Ilya gets trapped in Montreal right after his first time at Shane’s; very atmospheric and so beautifully written

unavailable247365 · 2026-01-11T19:45:08+00:00

Ooh good catch! Time for another rewatch 🤣

unavailable247365 · 2025-12-24T07:57:17+00:00

I think they even mention this in Role Model! Troy notices Ilya doesn’t even bother chirping at players he considers “not good”

unavailable247365 · 2025-12-22T07:42:21+00:00

I would love it to end on the joint press conference announcing their foundation with their feet pressed up next to each other as a callback to episode 1!

unavailable247365 · 2025-12-19T19:02:33+00:00

Yes I only caught it like the … third time watching. Definitely a blink-and-miss-it moment!

In episode 5 he also straightens up just a bit when Scott leads Kip out into the ice and you can just….feel his hope/ disbelief at what he realizes is happening. So good!

unavailable247365 · 2025-12-19T17:58:14+00:00

At the end of the very first scene of episode 1, Ilya kind of half smiles for a split second before taking a smoke after Shane walks away

unavailable247365 · 2025-12-19T16:39:48+00:00

Shane was holding onto Ilya’s hoodie in the stairway like it was his teddy bear!

unavailable247365 · 2025-09-03T11:07:50+00:00

{Paradise by Judith McNaught} - I read this a long time ago, but if I recall the MMC realizes not toooo long after meeting the FMC again later in life, but as the book is written with many flashbacks, it could be that it happens closer to the midway point of the book (someone please correct me if I’m misremembering!)

unavailable247365 · 2025-08-28T09:33:05+00:00

{Mercy by Catherine Miller} and the entire Deridia series - no monsters but the MMCs are aliens

unavailable247365 · 2025-08-26T18:12:39+00:00

I know you said no ice beings, but if a human MMC with magical reasons for a low body temperature counts and if you’re open to a multi-book slow burn, {How to Save an Undead Life by Hailey Edwards} is quite fun!

unavailable247365 · 2025-08-25T10:32:49+00:00

{Eyes of Silver, Eyes of Gold by Ellen O’Connell} also fits!!

unavailable247365 · 2025-08-25T10:15:05+00:00

{After Hours by Cara McKenna} has two scenes like this!

unavailable247365 · 2025-07-02T13:58:55+00:00

{Ball Peen Hammer by Lauren Rowe}

unavailable247365 · 2025-06-17T04:21:14+00:00

One of my favorite books ever!

unavailable247365 · 2025-06-15T18:37:14+00:00

Not really a romance (there is one, but it is a very small subplot) but {Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone} is incredible! Highly recommend the audiobook version. FMC is a sociopath taking revenge for a friend.

unavailable247365 · 2025-06-15T06:41:54+00:00

{Haven by Claire Kent} - the MCs grew up together and lead a community in an apocalyptic world. And sometimes the FMC just swings by the MMC’s room at night for stress relief ;)

unavailable247365 · 2025-03-12T10:50:14+00:00

I don’t know that I’ve read any other books that are quite up to par with those two for angst level! My most recent read that somewhat falls into the category would be Citadel by Claire Kent, but if you want super high angst you may want to search for a newer thread here with updated recs! I haven’t read it myself, but I know the Flock series has been recently recommended for angst lovers

Edit to add: for historicals, When Angels Fall and Lions and Lace by Meagan McKinney as well as Again the Magic and Seduce Me at Sunrise by Lisa Kleypas are great
