THIS. thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis

Yessssss you're watching agaaaaaaaaaain

I ADORE Vaughie. He is the best. I love him. I believe he'd be the BEST ally.

ping me on discord!

I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS. V. V. OMG SO MANY THOUGHTS (that I will stuff down and save for later just in case. bc while I don't THINK I'd spoil anything. my opinions absolutely could be informed by the rest of the show) (unless you want them now. then I will speak)

what IS his game here :EYES EMOJI: (I actually really love this scene and have a lot of feelings about it and am waiting with baited breath for your thoughts)

oh fuuuuuuck you verbalized this for me. WOW. I hadn't put those pieces together in exactly that order.

thank you for this

totally fair! if you pop into our chat, ping me and I can scroll back and let you know if there's anything big.

OH WAIT. there is. I may have a trip to germany in the works. so YAH KNOW.

I have pinged you on discord. but lmk if blsky is better

okay. I don't want to flail too much in fear of spoiling some tiny detail. but WE NEED TO TALK about their characterizations bc I HAVE FEELINGS. and I'm seeing you have feelings and I need to have feelings TOGETHER and hash them out and just ahhhhhhh

he is soooooo cooked

I AM HYPE

Right??? Agreed. That's about as much of that fic as I want to experience. XD

Oh. Rereading I see how that sentance doesn't mean what I wanted it to mean. I meant that I wanted a fic like that. I've only ever seen 1 fic with the 2 of them in the same fic

(They do eventually bond again. At the cottage maybe. Or maybe further in the future. But its hard and they have to coax it. And for a bit they think they've ruined any chance at it.)

3) and this one I'm not actually considering bc it is too angsty

Hollinov DO bond the first time they fuck. But they breal it bc Shane is AFRAID and they botb refuse to admit they feel anything. And they can't stop fucking but its kinda awful bc they can't let themselves feel anything.

2) Bond Crisis (fuck or die)
Probably when Shane is injured. But sometime before they are really together, Shane or Ilya goes into their Bond Crisis and has the other dude on their List. DRAMA.

(I lean toward this one. It has hilarious WTF energy for everyone NOT hollinov, & alsp failboats)

>>SPEAKING OF WHICH. 3 options.
1) slow bond. Over their years of fucking, they manage to slowly bond with each other. They are failboats who don't realize it. 🤣 not until well after they are Together Together (sometime in TLG)

(This would req the change in worldbuilding. It has max faolboating)

>>(in Summer's world, it feels like bonds are pretty either or. Either there or completely absent. So I might change that? To have bonds be able to sort of fade in and out? It depends on what we choose for how hollinov actually bond)
>>

- they are VERY compatible and WANT each other so much that every time they fuck, they are like millimeters from fully bonding
- Shane has for sure never had a bond crisis
- IF Ilya's had one, he bonded with Svetlana. But I think the bond is mostly faded >>

But back to the hollinov fic. My thoughts so far:
- shane has super good shields
- ilya is enough of a playboy that even though his shields aren't AS good, Shane doesn't trust what he reads from him
- therefore: still failboats who can't communicate & fail to understand themselves>>

I will say. Sidebar, that fic with both Sid & Shane in it is like crack to me. And I think it could work if Shane & Ilya are hailed as the "next sid & ovi" type deal.

...let Shane be a super fanboy of siiiiiiid. I neeeed it

>>not going far enough to use the actual plot/sid&jags.)

Also, like you said, hollinov reaaaaally doesn't work with that specific vibe.

1) I was definitely just thinking hollinov with that worldbuilding. The psychic/empathy, bonding, & "bond crisis fuck or die" stuff

(Not that I wouldn't want to make oblique references to Sid/Jags, but the author doesn't want fic of their fic (last I checked) and I feel okay using the world but>>

@anatsuno.bsky.social the amount I want to try and write a a hollinov fic set in the Summer afor Your Heart universe?? MASSIVE.

But it's such a niche pairing that no one will read it to help me hash it out 🤣

(Also I have too many wips already)

Ahahahahhaa I've been reading a lot of old favourites.

I have swan dived right back into hrpf too. I relistened to Summer for Your Heart after watching ep 6 and it was GLORIOUS. The best chaser.

🤣🤣 yeah, blusky isn't really working for my brain (lack of locked option I think). I'm on discord and tumblr a fair amount?

Eeeeeee!! Excuse me for my high pitched excited noise! You're watching HR!? The thing I've been drowning in since xmas!?
