...is to feel the sun on both sides.ââDavid Viscott How can you not feel the sun when itâs Ryan Bergara smiling at you? Name: Janet Ship: Shara/Shyan/Shyanara and pretty much anything else. Ao3: jankmusic Iâve got the writing bug, and it wonât stop! âď¸
...so I wrote a thing? About Shane and Sara? :)
Give it a read on Ao3!
Summary: âI canât do this!â His voice cracked as he rocked forward, dropping his head into his hands and gripping his hair. The one where Shane is overwhelmed the night before the premiere of Puppet History and leans on his sweet, sweet Sara.
Excerpt under the read more.
â1AM has never been so lonely,â Shane thought moresly as he climbed out of his Lyft, thanking his driver before closing the door. He took a moment to stretch after being stuffed in the back of a much too small car, joints popping and bones groaning, and then tilted his head back to stare at the light polluted sky. Moments like this, when his whole body ached and his head throbbed and every muscle fiber was filled with fatigue, Shane wished he was back in quiet old Schamburg. These moments were fleeting and seldom caused more than a lurch in his gut, but tonight, Shane was really feeling it.
In Schaumburg, he wouldnât be working this late. 1AM was meant for drunken shenanigans, Taco Bell runs, or sleeping in a comfortable bed. He would have been home at a decent time, hours left of daylight. In Schaumburg, he wouldnât be exhausted every night, with more and more work ahead of him. His parents would be close. Cousins, aunts, old friends.
âIn Schaumburg, you wouldnât have Sara,â Shane said firmly, shaking the thoughts from his head. âYou wouldnât be working with your best friends. You wouldnât be challenging yourself.â No matter how overwhelmed he was feeling, he couldnât get stuck on the nostalgia train. Watcher was launching in less than 12 hours, and he still had work to do. The nostalgia train would do nothing but encourage him to procrastinate when he truly didnât have the time.
Shane did one more stretch before shuffling his feet, slowly making his way to his apartment. Every step filled him with dread; all he wanted to do was curl up in his bed and try to get more than two hours of sleep, but he knew that was wishful thinking.
Out of habit, he glanced up and saw the lights were on in his living room and his heart lurched. Sara was waiting for him?
I am so damn excited for the AU August challenge from @rarebuzzships! I wasnât able to finish my Saucy Summer fic (Ryan/Mari/Shane/Sara) but Iâm still working on it!
Under the read more is an excerpt for my AU shyanara fic that I will finish!!!
Ryan stared wide eyed between the new art teacher and Shane. In the three years heâs been working with Shane (and becoming his best friend and hanging out all the time), he had never seen Shane get flustered, tongue tied, or shy. A part of him wanted to pull out his phone and record this, because he was certain Shane wouldnât believe him if he brought it up later.
He glanced at Jen, his partner in crime in all things PE, and she was staring mouth agape. A quick glance at Steven and he saw the same look on his face.
Someone needed to do something, and it looked like it was going to be him. âUhhh...the big guy is Shane Madej. He teaches music,â he said, and he had to cover his snort with a cough as Shane literally shook his head.Â
Iâm writing a little something where Ryan gives Obi a bath for his convoluted plan to move in with Shane and Sara, and let me tell ya, Iâm having a great time.
âI paid $40 so I better die.â with shyan, PLEASE
Iâm sooo glad you asked for this!! I saw that one and I was like o h thatâs Shane. This got so fucking long compared to what I was planning to write lol. I hope you like this, thanks for the prompt Nini!

Dread settles over Ryan as soon as they pass the entrance of the haunted house. Itâs something new and albeit a bit expensive, only available for about a week in this part of LA, a special little thing to put everyone in the mood for Halloween thatâs approaching rapidly.
So when Shane brought up the idea that they should check it out Ryan agreed without hesitation. He loves everything spooky, after all. Loves the adrenaline rush of watching a classic horror movie, or walking into a dusty old place with a history he was spilling over, deep in hours upon hours of research.
Still, appreciating the scare after heâs safe and sound in their hotel room, or stumbling into Shaneâs arms lately after the shooting of a particularly difficult to deal with episode is very different from experiencing the damn thing right at the moment with all of his senses and nerves on fire and on edge.
He scoots closer to Shane, just barely, like heâs being all smooth and nonchalant, like the place doesnât scare the living shit out of him already, but he still has some pride left, goddammit.
âThey werenât kidding in all those ads, huh?â He asks just to break the silence as Shane takes his hand. He reads Ryan so well, he always does.
I hadnât heard this song before but Iâve been listening to it CONSTANTLY since. So thanks for ruining my life, Jess âĽ

Shaneâs been watching them over the rim of his glass for the past two drinks. Sara had been itching to dance when theyâd arrived at the bar and Ryan had kindly obliged, letting himself be dragged out to the dance-floor with a hand in Saraâs own. She keeps throwing smiles in Shaneâs direction and he canât stop wondering if tonight is the night. Maybe itâs the night they take Ryan home with them.
Theyâve been talking about it for months now, shifting slowly from a half-formed joke to an ill-advised idea. Shane likes the thought of getting his two favorite people, but he knows â somewhat ironically now â that itâll be a delicate dance.
SO uh @blacktofadeâ had a craving for shyanara and uh, specifically, ryan being loved and taken care of, and i had approximately a million ideas about that. i also had most of these written from planning a different fic that went a whole other direction. so here is some not-actually-fic i threw together, enjoy!!
(warnings: mentions of breakups. alcohol. brief sex mention.)
-the night the big blowout happens, late march, ryan leaves the apartment because he doesnât know what else to do. for a while he sits in his car to gather his thoughts, but then he keeps looking up and seeing the light on in the apartment. knowing sheâs up there, and knowing she doesnât want him anymoreâ fuck, itâs the worst feeling in the world, so he turns the key in the engine and starts driving
-somehow, he ends up outside shane and saraâs complex
-he could have gone anywhere but he came here, because he needs⌠something
-shane opens the door and takes one look at ryan and he knows (because he knows ryanâs relationship has been on the rocks for a while now. he just opens the door wider to let ryan in)
-saraâs in the kitchen, about to open a bottle of wine. when she sees ryan, she stops, and she pulls out some whiskey instead (itâs leftover from christmas, and now sheâs glad she didnât throw it away)
Iâm sorry, anon, this isnât what you asked for at all, but I was thinking about first dates and then they released Tourist Trapped and my brain melted. Please forgive me.

Ryan can feel Shaneâs gaze on him. He waits, checking his blind spot and signaling to merge into the stop-and-go traffic on the 5 before glancing over.
Thereâs a pink tinge to Shaneâs nose from a day in the sun and heâs sprawled in his seat like the exhaustion is finally hitting. Shane doesnât avert his gaze and eventually Ryan has to look back at the road.
âWhat?â he asks, turning his signal off, though heâs not expecting the way Shane begins to laugh. He glances away from traffic just long enough to catch a flash of Shaneâs grin. âWhat?â he repeats and Shane rubs the bridge of his nose.
âI had fun today,â Shane says, which isnât the answer Ryanâs expecting.
FUCKIN' 4 WITH SHYAN FOR THE KISS PROMPTS OH MY GOD
4. An accidental brush of lips followed by a pause and going back for another, on purpose.
Thanks for requesting this anon, I hope you like it!Â

Ryan barely registers that theyâre back in the hotel, everything is happening in little snapshots ever since he came out of that cursed as hell building. Itâs like he saw himself from a third-person perspective for most of the time. He barely even recalls anything from his time alone in there.
He hopes most of it is useable footage at the very least. He remembers a little snippet, him talking to Shane, telling him how fucking scared he was. Shane getting a hand on his back and sitting him down while the crew started packing up, offering him some water.
He even made some conversation, but he mostly just stared, listened to Shaneâs rumbly voice talk about God knows what. Itâs probably the only reason he didnât just fucking blackout on the spot.
Then he remembers walking into the hotel, Shane still by his side, the chatter of their crew breaking the quiet of the hotel lobby.
Ryan strikes a pose; mug of coffee held tight to his puffed out chest and his other hand on his hip. He clears his throat.
Shane looks up at the sound. âAnd what are you supposed to be?âÂ
Ryan grins. Itâs the one that makes Shaneâs stomach turn over, the one that says Ryan has a plan and that Shane is gonna come along whether he wants to or not. The one that precedes all of Ryanâs best (worst) ideas, and the one that usually ends with Shane adding another item to the things he has to drink for when they play Never Have I Ever.Â
what kind of non-supernatural shyan AU do you think would be the most fun? (i'm talking like, coffee shop, musicians, detectives, etc)
So I actually love mundane AUs the MOST of all AUs but honestly, I want to see more of Neighbor AUs:
¡ AU where Ryan keeps throwing stuff over the fence into his Tall Hot Neighbourâs yard because he wants an excuse to go over and talk to the guy but Shane thinks he just lives beside some particularly rambunctious children so he just keeps throwing everything back until one day Ryan just says fuck it and throws a paper airplane with his number on it while he knows Shane is out in his garden.
¡ AU where they live in apartments next to each other, and Ryan listens to his neighbor who sings in the shower every morning, and Shane listens to his neighbor trying to learn guitar. They donât see each otherâs faces for MONTHS until one day they take the elevator together and walk to their apartment doors. Itâs a big âOh. itâs you.â moment when they both realize.
¡ AU where Shaneâs elderly neighbors pack up and move to Florida and a hot young hunk moves in next door with plans to renovate the house and tame the garden. Heâs noisy, and heâs up until all hours of the night sanding and drilling and keeping Shane awake. But maybe Shane doesnât mind so much when he gets to drink his coffee on his porch and watch Ryan mow his lawn shirtless on a Sunday morning.
¡ AU where Shane is tired of his neighbor setting off his smoke alarm constantly, so he teaches him to cook.
¡ AU where Ryan shares a balcony with a perfectly nice dude, but Perfectly Nice Dudeâs cat keeps sneaking into Ryanâs apartment to sleep on his bed, and Ryan is allergic and has to keep bringing the cat back. Perfectly Nice Dude becomes Incredibly Nice Dude and starts leaving allergy meds and care packages for Ryan as an apology (and maybe he keeps letting his cat escape because he wants an excuse to keep talking to his cute neighbor).
¡ AU where thereâs a power outage, and Shane invites over his cute neighbor (who doesnât keep candles in his apartment) so they can make wok popcorn on his gas stove and watch a movie on Shaneâs phone. It turns into an impromptu sleepover.
¡ AU where they address one another by their apartment numbers because they donât know each otherâs names yet. Shane eventually asks Ryan out and belatedly realizes he still doesnât know his name, so he has to go around the building and find someone who can tell him Ryanâs name. Bonus points if Ryan is Apt. 69. (Nice)
BUT I GUESS I REALLY HAVENâT THOUGHT ABOUT IT ALL THAT MUCH.
I just want stir-crazy, overly-tired, missing each other Shane and Ryan having cam-sex over FaceTime or whatever, like mid-way through a late-night impromptu meeting about something or other. Ryan rubbing a hand over his eyes, Shane asking quietly if he's okay, eyes soft in that way they are when it's just the two of them. Ryan gazing at him through the screen, eyes following the open buttons at the top of Shane's shirt, both listening to each other breathe. Shane swallowing, hand moving down..
UMMM?? Whereâs the rest of this, nonnybae?? YOU FORGOT TO SEND THE REST!
Oh my god, the sheer idea of the touch-starvation and Ryan having to describe in the best detail he can put into exhausted words what he would do if he were there fills me with a mixture of agony and sweetness.Â
