HR rec list 2: under-appreciated short fics
The question about the bookmarks got me looking through them and made me realize I hadn't put together a rec list in a while, and some of my rec-heart'd bookmarks have fewer than 5000 views, which is just ridiculous. So here are a few short little fics I loved that haven't gotten enough attention:
Smile for you, laugh like you by anonymous
3.7k words. G. I will be thinking about this one for a long time. Situationship era Shane picks up a Russian texting habit and doesn't realize it's Russian, so he uses it everywhere.
don’t let me be misunderstood by ann_sable
4.3k words. E (but not super smutty). Again, this one lives in my brain. Situationship era Ilya learns Japanese for Shane, but Shane doesn't speak Japanese. Kind of a character study for yearning Ilya.
Ilya Rozanov, Cottage Harlot by anarchybeauty
1.5k words. M. Ilya packs for the cottage trip with the intent to seduce Shane (as if he needed to even think about this?). It's adorable.
Till your bones feel embarrassed from all the attention by @nhasablogg
4.5k words. M. Ilya sees a video of Hayden tickling Shane and gets jealous.
Hayden Pike is ShaneCurious by BringInTheCat
2k words. E (but not super smutty (yet?)). Does it count if it was gifted to me? I don't care, I like it anyway. Hayden is sexually attracted to Shane. There's a second chapter planned, but it can be read as a standalone as it is.
Oh sorry you wanted smut? Ok then in honor of the question that started this: My top 9 tattoo fics as of last week, when I read literally every single one of them (not an exaggeration)
