Thanks again to the kind anon who bought me paid time last year! If someone wanted to extend it, I would be very grateful.

Ignore this post if you have money issues.

The Canadian show Heated Rivalry is, as you can guess, rivals-to-lovers with lots of sex.

Fandom made gay hockey stories popular and now we get a TV series all about it. Exciting! ^__^

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means

karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

( The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

Et je talonnerai mes rêves by Aurélie Chateaux-Martin was excellent. It's a standalone in the same world as other novels I haven't read. Dorian and Loïc, rugby players, become sex friends. One day, Loïc has an accident and wakes up without one of his legs.

While the cover art shows Loïc playing wheelchair rugby, note that the accident only happens in the middle of the book and the wheelchair rugby only takes place in the last few chapters. The first half of the story focuses on valid rugby, with Covid regulations in the background.

This is bi4pan m/m, which starts with no romance between the two. They separate when they have the occasional girlfriend or boyfriend, so they're not aro, but I think readers on the aro spectrum will vibe with this aspect. The accident changes them and they start falling in love. There's a secondary nb/nb relationship and a minor lesbian character.
