it feels like a dick move to say anything negative about fic writing but i also want to humbly add my two cents: can we normalize putting translations right next to the foreign language dialogue instead of putting them in the end notes
The show made them so tender with each other i need to reread the book and see if they were always like that and we (me, shane, and ilya) were just ignoring it
hands down one of my top three scenes. there’s something so intimate about the way ilya asks him ‘worth the wait?’ and all shane can do is nuzzle his nose and leave the softest kisses on his lips and forehead. the whole moment just feels so gentle and real
