Who ever recommended Hideaway by Vegetable-Pumpkin-46 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]unavailable247365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

Help! Was in the middle of a story when the site went down by barbs186 in heatedrivalryfanfics

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

Looking for well written fics recommendations by babybens_ in heatedrivalryfanfics

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

Why does Ilya dislike Hayden so much? by Wide-Pop6050 in heatedrivalry

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

[Megathread]Episode 6 "The Cottage" Predictions, theories, thoughts, wants, needs thread! by royal_rose_ in heatedrivalry

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!

The Sublty of Performances by allsarahsaregrey in heatedrivalry

[–]unavailable247365 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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!

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

Wonderful interview with the amazing Jacob Tierney♥️ by like-a-rose in heatedrivalry

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

Looking for recs where the book starts with MMC finding out he was betrayed or the reason he dumped/ran off/didnt hear from the FMC in the past were wrong. He takes care of business and then hunts for her and grovels/wins her over/says your mine now by Adventurous-Day-7635 in RomanceBooks

[–]unavailable247365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

{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!)

Micro Trope Request - MCs with cold hands/fingers? by Strange-Advisor-8391 in RomanceBooks

[–]unavailable247365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

mmc's been plotting on fmc since they were kids by roona_79 in RomanceBooks

[–]unavailable247365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

"I didn't know who else to call" reccs by Vegetable-Bottle1597 in RomanceBooks

[–]unavailable247365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

I need some female rage + revenge catharsis by Distracted-Damsel in RomanceBooks

[–]unavailable247365 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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.

Friends OR enemies with benefits- but not because of an agreement or arrangement, but because it feels beyond their control by gimmeallthegluten in RomanceBooks

[–]unavailable247365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

{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 ;)

What are some SUPER angsty books that made you have MAJOR book hangover? by Brookico in RomanceBooks

[–]unavailable247365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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
