Braver than you Believe, Stronger than you Think

And I say what I think/‘Cause it’s more economic than drugs or a drink

[ao3commentoftheday]

it's important to pause and remember sometimes that the story is more important than the word count

don't let an arbitrary number get in the way of telling your story the way you want it told

I had a dream where the MBTA marketing team rejected my trucker hat merch idea. They're missing out though.

Cliff's trade to Ottawa definitely comes with its share of awkward moments as Cliff learns to exist casually in a space occupied by Shane Hollander but Cliff does eventually adjust and comes to like Shane. Like, the guy is definitely what Cliff's grandma would call 'squirrelly' but Cliff's grandma had also never shown any meaningful sign that she truly believed that the Cold War was over, so. Grains of salt.

So it's not super weird when Shane texts him and asks him to meet at a nearby coffee shop

(Shane: Hi Marleau, this is Shane Hollander-Rozanov, I was wondering if we could meet at [copy-pasted Google Maps link] so that I can talk to you about Ilya's birthday

Cliff: 👍

Ilya, later: Can I spit on it

Cliff: Later baby I have plans with your man

Ilya: Lol.

Ilya, later when Shane actually leaves to 'meet someone': You will never satisfy him.)

Anyway the point of all of this is Cliff walks into a coffee shop that takes itself a little too seriously and sits down across from Shane who already has a little notebook in front of him with a black coffee.

After brief greetings and after Cliff orders his own coffee (They are all named after Canadian cities. It's a really pretentious coffee shop) he sits down and Shane immediately says, "I was wondering if you could tell me some of the things that you and Ilya did when you went to Paris together."

Cliff's mind implodes.

"Uh."

"I've never been and I want to do something to make up for the fact that our thirtieth birthdays were kind of overshadowed by," Shane gestures expansively to euphamistically refer to the whole outing-to-marriage ordeal of last spring and summer. "And he's mentioned that you guys went to Paris together back in 2014 to celebrate your Cup win. Did he enjoy it? Or do you think he wouldn't want to go back?"

"Uh," says Cliff as he frantically texts Ilya under the table. "Yeah. He loved it."

(COME GET YOUR MAN BIG DAWG THIS IS NOT A DRILL.)

"Great!" Shane clicks his pen. "What did you guys do while you were there?"

"Uh. We...ate out."

One thing about the Hollander men; if you hit them with a social situation they don't know how to react to, they will straight up leave ✌️

call that the Hollander Goodbye

Chapters: 5/? Fandom: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types, Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Kate Daniels - Ilona Andrews Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov, Shane Hollander & Hayden Pike, Zane Boodram & Ilya Rozanov, Shane Hollander & Rose Landry Characters: Shane Hollander, Ilya Rozanov, Hayden Pike, Zane Boodram, David Hollander, Theriault (Game Changers), Roger Crowell, Maxine Additional Tags: The Pack, The People - Freeform, Kate Daniels universe, Magic Bites, Adaptation, Were-Creatures, Alternate Universe - Magic, Swords, Blood and Gore, Sexual Content, Post-Apocalypse, The Shift, Alpha Ilya Rozanov, Alpha/Beta, Not Beta Read, NOT OMEGAVERSE, Beast Lord, Graphic Description, Graphic Description of Corpses, Canon-Typical Violence, Dark, Body Horror, Trauma, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, Past Child Abuse, Violence Against Children (Referenced), Gore Summary:

Shane Hollander has spent his entire life trying not to be noticed. In a city where magic runs the streets and monsters run the rest, that’s kept him alive.

When his guardian is murdered — alongside a vampire that shouldn’t have been there — Shane is pulled into an investigation that doesn’t add up. The deeper he digs, the worse it gets: missing evidence, fractured politics, and something powerful enough to tear through both the living and the undead.

Then the words begin to answer him.

Ancient. Primal. The language of power itself — one that predates the First Shift, one that shouldn’t be spoken at all. And yet, it recognizes him.

As Shane draws closer to the truth, he also draws attention — especially from the Beast Lord of Boston. Ilya Rozanov doesn’t break rules lightly. But for Shane, he might.

Shane has spent years staying out of sight. Now the city is watching, the magic is listening, and whatever he is becoming may be just as dangerous as the thing he’s hunting.

The Heated Rivalry / Kate Daniels Crossover literally no one asked for.

me every time someone asks me what I write

[writingdose]

writing fanfics has made me go out of my way to learn things and do deep research in ways no colleges, exams, jobs or other projects ever could. yes, it’s a hobby. but it’s also my love and passion. next time you say “fanfics are an unserious activity for kids”, I will actually bite you. no ma’am, while kids certainly can enjoy writing fanfics, it’s sleep-deprived adults — with jobs and responsibilities, bills to pay, kids to raise, animals to take care of, battles to fight — who have built the fanfic community and always been the backbone of it since day one.

[writingdose]

writers, you can and should be proud of your fic even if you personally are not satisfied with it. because even if you think it's "not good", you can be proud of the fact that you wrote it and it's something you created. you can be proud of the fact it's not ai.

repeat after me, it's something you put your soul and dedication in — and that's something ai could never achieve.
