This week’s Fan Art Friday is turning up the heat with Heated Rivalry, the beloved hockey romance by Rachel Reid. From stolen glances across the rink to years of tension that refuse to cool, this story gave us one of the most unforgettable rivalries in romance. The chemistry between Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov is electric, complicated, and impossible to ignore. What starts as competition on the ice becomes something far more intense behind closed doors. Whether you fell for the sharp banter, the secret meetings, or the slow unraveling of two guarded hearts, this series has given fandom plenty to scream about. Time to celebrate your favorite moments, scenes, and interpretations through fan art! [DEVIATION] “You’re my favorite,” Ilya whispered. “I’m not ashamed of this. I’m not ashamed of you.” - Shane Rivalries this heated don’t just stay on the page -- they leap off it. This week, we’re celebrating the art, the angst, and the sparks that make Heated Rivalry

Fillory is calling! This week’s Fan Art Friday is dedicated to The Magicians, the beloved TV series inspired by Lev Grossman’s novels. From Brakebills classrooms to spell-casting chaos, complex friendships, and worlds that refuse to stay neatly separated, The Magicians has inspired artists to explore magic that’s messy, emotional, and deeply human. We’re showcasing fan art that captures the heart, humor, and heartbreak of the series. “Did I do something brave to save my friends, or did I finally find a way to kill myself?” — Quentin Coldwater “Life is basically a solo sport. But sometimes you need a team.” — Eliot Waugh Whether you fell in love with the characters, the worlds, or the beautifully broken way magic works, the fandom continues to keep The Magicians alive through art. Thank you to everyone sharing their passion, creativity, and love for this series because magic may not fix everything, but art helps us feel it all. Explore previous editions in our Fan Art
