I'd share a rec and you'd share a rec
More recs from the runaway Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov tag on AO3 because there is truly too much fic to wade through on one's own (6,000 *completed* stories posted in the month of January alone!). NB: I'm a hard no on major character death (even though I did read *that* fic about the plane crash and regretted my life choices) and an enthusiastic YES on all consensual kinks. I won't recommend WIPs because I've been in fandom for too long and I've learned very painful lessons.
Hope you enjoy, and please leave comments if you love the fic!
Shane/Ilya
sweet nothings by vesna. Explicit. 5K. There is no better feeling than when one of your favorite fic writers decides to play in the new fandom you're hyperfixed with. Really, I recommend reading everything that vesna's written in Heated Rivalry, but I'm highlighting this specific story because, to me, there is no greater act of devotion than learning the language of your partner.
Shane undoes Ilya, one word at a time.
Pretty Boy by mcshrug. Explicit. 4K. Feminization, lingerie, and a writer who has perfectly tapped into the soft (and sometimes not so soft) D/s dynamic of these two.
free rein by eleadore. Explicit. 18K. Feminization, lingerie, and under-negotiated kink. Perfect characterization and filthy hot.
"Stop asking me if it's okay. If I want it. You're always, like—whatever. I'm not one of your fucking girls, okay? If I don't like it, I'll stop you. I can make you stop."
It Grows Down Deep by a_stray_thief. Mature. 8K. A lovely take on the Hanahaki Disease trope, wherein "disease manifests as a physical reaction to unrequited love most often resulting in the growth of flowers within the [organs]" (Wikipedia). Don't worry, there's a happy ending, but what lovely angst before we get there.
first-person plural possessive by oliviacirce. Explicit. 8K. Post-TLG, Shane and Ilya being deliriously in love and fucking about it.
Vibes Are Not Data by GlitterCity. Teen. 18K. Wyatt Hayes is my favorite goalie in the Game Changers universe. This fic captures all the reasons why I (and other book readers) love him so much. Wyatt being a great teammate, a perceptive af, and a huge Wife Guy.
Shane/Ilya + Others
81-24-21 by maplesalad. Explicit. 3K. Shane/Ilya/Scott. I'm like Shane in that I'm usually not a fan of threesomes, but when it's done this well? Chef's fucking kiss. Lucky old man Scott Hunter.
Gen
Cunk on Hockey by qkind. Gen. 1.5K. This was part of Yuletide and so written before HR exploded the world. Does what it says on the tin, and does so hilariously.
Hudson/Connor
Cacciatore by falsescience. Mature. 7K. Hudson/Connor background. So you know how we saw the photos of Hudson Williams in Armani smoking a cigarette in the streets of Milan and had a collective meltdown? Well, falsescience saw those same pictures and thought, what if Godfather AU? And bless their incredible brain because this is one of the best stories I've read in a long time. I haven't watched The Godfather in decades, and now I'm choosing to remember it with one Hudson Corleone.
