haven't spruiked my fics in like two minutes so here's a roundup of all of them. it would be really awesome if you checked them out :)
Heated Rivalry:
Save me a seat at the dining room table - Hollanov-centric oneshot that follows Shane and Ilya's lives through the image of the dining room. very poetic; I'm a bit obsessed with this one.
Even though I try not to / I can't help but want you - Hollanov Shadowhunter au (combining two of my favourite things). Shadowhunter Shane x Sighted mundane Ilya. Lots of hurt/comfort but also some silly stuff (its nearly 40 000 words so there's balance). Now with a sequel [Insert badass training montage here] and a prequel and the only one left is me
I've never felt like this before (I want you more) - Roselana longfic. Need I say more? Also features aromantic Svetlana, Rose having a minor sexuality crisis, and epic bestfriendisms with Ilya and Shane.
Rotten Egg - mildly ooc oneshot about Shane's breakfast routine being thrown way off by a rotten egg, with a little bit of emotional hurt/comfort (comfort courtesy of Ilya, of course).
DC/Batman:
Looking for what got left behind - Steph-centric oneshot set in batgirl '09 era, explores her relationship with Tim during this time. Steph fans, this one's for you.
Your Parents, They Were Dying About Falling in Love - Janet Drake-centric tragedy, imagines a close friendship between her and Bruce, and examines her relationship with Jack, and, to a lesser extent, a young Tim. One of my longer fics at about 30 000 words. I still think about this one constantly.
Won't You Stay with me? - another longfic, technically an au sequel to Your Parents but can be read alone. This one's a Janet lives au which follows Tim, Bruce and Janet through negotiations of grief and teenage vigilantism. Lotta hurt/comfort.
A Rose by Any Other Name... (Labels all the way down) - fluffy little Damian-centric oneshot with a dash of emotional hurt/comfort that I poured my queer heart and soul into. Maybe a little fanon-y at moments but it doesn't matter because it's adorable and perfect.
Words, Words, Words - very short Cass-centric oneshot, a retelling of the bit in batgirl 2000 when she gets her mind rearranged by a psychic and learns to speak.
The Bat-Cape - another oneshot. y'know how Batman's cape is often drawn with like tentacles? or it changes length all the time? this is about that. It's like an in-universe explanation except it doesn't actually explain anything.
Holy Magic Cape Batman! - oneshot, sequel to the BatCape (but can be read alone). 5+1 things with the batkids and Bruce's cape.
Family and Cherished Pets - a collection of wfa-style oneshots featuring horses, stickers, an art gallery, food and more. Fanon-y and wfa-style characterisations because I wrote this before I'd really read any other comics. It's fun, silly and light-hearted.
For crossover-y stuff I also have Superman's Glasses (and Slowly Failing Sanity) which is about superman being cool and glasses being annoying, and Bold of You to Assume There are "Normal" Serial Killers in Gotham, which is a criminal minds crossover (with pretty fanon-y batfam characterisation).
condo stairway scene gets me every single time bc of the way ilya lingers. the way he takes way too long to tie his shoes & adjust his jeans, the way he stands for a moment even though his cab is definitely there & the way he teases shane as he slowly lowers himself to give the sweetest, most unhurried kiss goodbye.
i’m obsessed with the idea of the centaurs mixing around their lines for Fun against low-ranked teams. they’ve got the two best players in the league, plus bold, luca, and troy who are really all first line players
when the centaurs play low-ranked teams they don't really have a rivalry with, they're totally gonna fuck around. shane and ilya on wing, bood in the center, and shane and ilya are competing against each other to score the goal. they’re all collaborating to get wyatt the most goalie goals in league history through a mix of dubiously legal curling tactics and fucking with the fourth line. fuck it, empty next because wyatt is on the other side of the ice. (crucially, the only reason he’s there is because shane and ilya peer pressured him into it. he does NOT want to be out of the crease) shane is living his best life doing two minute shifts but staying on the ice to tell the younger players what to do. they’re trying to score goals exclusively with backhand shots (ilya and shane are top of the league in them respectively and shane IS trying to change that). shane and ilya are slamming each other into the boards with a player from the other team in between them. fuck it, hold ilya out of the first few rounds, then throw him in the fourth line. scare the shit out of the other team and make the 4th line step it up. pride night pride line. ilya is telling everyone how he’s going to suck shane’s dick and shane is pretending to be embarrassed but secretly loves it. there is ABSOLUTELY a secret hollanov challenge that determines what type of sex they’re having. sometimes it’s arbitrary.
this does backfire on them once or twice, and they accidentally lose to buffalo because they were so locked in on the goalie goal (achieved) but uh. buffalo definitely snuck some pucks in when wyatt was playing offence. (weibe yells at them and actually punishes them for that one, yeah it was funny but what the fuck were you doing, we’ve lost four games this season and one of them was to buffalo???)
disclaimer idk ball (puck?) that much but like. the centaurs are an absolutely STACKED team, they’re practically running an all-stars team against teams barely scraping by. shane and ilya both need competition like they need air to breathe, and they’re gonna make it on their own if they have to
Ilya and Shane post-outing changing each other's names in their phone and then promptly changing them back to 'jane' and 'lily' after an embarrassing amount of times opening their texts and absent-mindedly being like where's lily? *keeps scrolling through contacts, finds nothing, scrolls back up*Oh fuck I changed it to Ilya. I'm fucking stupid. And who is Shane what Shanes do I know, why is he most recent -- wow oh fuck I am idiot.
The hollanov Shadowhunters au continues with Ilya's training arc! (if you thought juggling a major hockey career and a secret relationship was hard, try throwing intensive shadowhunter training in on top of all that lol. r.i.p. Ilya)
thinking about tiny Ilya and Sveta imagining their future in the way kids do and agreeing they're going to win the Stanley Cup together.
and in so so many universes it comes apart because Svetlana doesn't play hockey past a certain age because girls don't do that. And she certainly can't play in the MLH. And she watches Ilya become great, and she watches him win the cup and she's so so proud and so so happy for him but there's a tiny, painful part of her that remembers it was supposed to be both of them, together, and she's angry and sad that the world took that from them.
but maybe there's a universe where they do it. They change the fucking world because they're Svetlana Vetrova and Ilya Rozanov, and they play damn good hockey, good enough that they can make the rules.
Teams are like well, we'll take Ilya but we can't take Svetlana. And Ilya's like it's both of us or none. Both of us and you will win, neither of us and someone else will be smart enough to let us play, and you'll go down. And they pull this stunt like a million times, and if fucking works, because they're that good--apart and and especially together. They are so obsessed with playing hockey together that they revolutionise the sport. No more gendered segregation--and that probably means a shift in culture, too. More women playing on the same field as men, as equals. Less assholes. Maybe more people start coming out earlier. Maybe Ilya and Shane get to come out earlier too (because of course playing hockey with his best friend doesn't stop Ilya from falling in love with Shane Hollander, his soulmate, the one person who holds a candle to the Russian Terrors (plural bc they're a duo now))
There's a better world and they'll carve it into being through the power of friendship, hockey obsession, and the need to realise the dreams of two little kids who were crazy enough to believe in something beautiful

Summary:
‘Everyone thinks I’m lying about the mermaids in the river,’ Ilya said. ‘Even though I said they’re only there in summer, obviously, because otherwise they’d freeze in the ice. And no one believes in faeries, either.’
‘Ilyushka,’ his mother said with a gentle smile. ‘You and I, we are not like other people. There are things they can’t see. It’s dangerous to know about them, and dangerous to tell anyone about them. It has to be our secret. Our secret. Just for us.’
'I promise. Our secret.'
--
Ilya can see things other people don't. It kind of sucks.
