Another day, another round of beautiful fics I've enjoyed! Coincidentally the collection of A/B/O fics I set aside were all focused around unexpected/surprise heats, so that's a fun little niche to dig into! Full world BDSM AU's are still a newer concept to me, but I have to admit I am increasingly amazed at how much depth authors build into this type of world building. Each fic I read has it's own unique take on it, an inspiring crop of originality!

A/B/O / Omegaverse - Unexpected Heat
🏒 Like My Heart by oddcomet - 20k
Shane's carefully-cultivated life threatens to unravel when he forgets his medication. Now he's stuck in the middle of nowhere, on the brink of a heat.
zannithinks: oh this one deserves ALL the praise! What fabulous world building and vibrant characters. The plot in this takes you on such an emotional ride for the ages, this is (k)not your typical heat fic!
🏒 come closer by wonderlou - 18k
Shane has a secret, and the least Ilya can do is help him keep it.
zannithinks: this was such a great exploration into going beyond an accidental heat, truly something here that just feels so rare! And the sex is insane, w.o.w.
🏒 wrap me up in your love (just don't let me fall) by writerbri / @shnehollander - 12k
All at once, the cold reality of the situation hits him. Someone did this to me.
- Shane is drugged by heat inducers at the club, and Ilya is there to help him through it.
zannithinks: great smut and great character moments. Full of tenderness while staying grounded in the pretty terrifying situation.

“You are in heat at award show? Why would you hide this? Why would you not call out sick? Are you—are you insane? You care this much about trophy?”
- Shane goes into heat in Vegas
zannithinks: this one balances bitchy banter and raw tenderness so well! All wrapped up in some delicious smut
🏒 dirty little secret by contrapposto / @froggy-pposto - 3k
“Oh, Hollander,” Ilya sighed, cradling Shane’s face, thumbs gently stroking his freckled cheeks. “You are omega.”
- Ilya helps Shane through an unexpected heat.
zannithinks: hot AF with Ilya at his best being a loveable asshole
Alternate Universe - BDSM
🏒 follow me down by vividblossom (dirtymudblood) - 16k
Rozanov throws his hands up in defeat and snaps, “Am trying to say; Hollander, I am Dom and I will Play with you, but you talk so fucking much I can not say this!”
Shane freezes. There’s no laughter now. His stomach swoops and plummets.
zannithinks: what a fantastic take on this 'verse. While it's hot AF, I actually can't get enough of the plot and world-building that accompanies it. I look forward to this story continuing as there are more Parts to come.
🏒 The Only Exception by Burningstarsdownonus / @burningstarsdownonus - 13k
In a world where Doms and Subs exist, Shane Hollander is a boring, mid-level Dom who never uses his voice. Or so everyone thinks. He's actually a level 10 Sub in hiding. He's never met anyone who could drop him. That is, until Ilya Rozanov skates into his life and drops him without even noticing.
zannithinks: a neat layer of complexity added to this 'verse that creates a bunch of excitement and subterfuge. The sex is hot hot hoooot!
🏒 Got a Bad Desire by Design by Clearpearls - 7k
Subs don’t play in the MLH, but Shane Hollander will.
- Shane Hollander falls into subdrop at World Juniors. Ilya Rozanov brings him back.
zannithinks: wow OK! this fic is SO hot and yet SO gentle and caring.
