I don't think you understand. If I see one more STUPID lesbian infighting discourse I'm going to throw hands. I'm not trying to be funny we have much more pressing matters to be thinking about then whether you think someone who uses he/him pronouns can identify as a lesbian.

underrated hr recs! <3

find my other fic rec posts here!

so we're all aware that hr has wrought forth a brand new era of talented and amazing fan works. and each one absolutely deserves its flowers!

at the same time, this new wave of fandom seems to have also brought with it a sense of algorithm that typically leads to more of a marketplace vibe, where the 'popular' fics continue to be overwhelmed with engagement while the a lot of others end up falling through the cracks.

all of these fics have under 10k hits at the time I'm posting this! I highly, highly encourage people to seek out lesser known fic and take chances on other writing styles, tropes, and genres. you might find something you like!

if you have any underrated fic recs of your own, feel free to share them! x

(these are in no particular order, and feature a range of topics, ratings, lengths, and possible warnings. as with any rec, please be sure to also double check for any triggers yourself before reading. however, I will not rec MCD and very rarely unhappy endings.

✒️ COMBAT MEDICINE by maplesalad

⤷ rating + length: e, 4k

⤷ summary:

There are fewer pillows, now that Ilya sometimes spends the night. You don’t even like those ones, Ilya had said. It’s your bed. What is the point, if you do not like it?

⤷ notes + warnings:

MORE GORGEOUSLY EXECUTED HOLLANOV PAIN KINK! also has some electrostim which I haven't seen a lot of in hr fic yet, and this is a wonderful first dip into that if you haven't read it before! I really enjoyed the inner monologue on this one, I felt like shane's voice was right on that line of uncomfortably earnest in the BEST possible way. loved it.

✒️ A DISASTER, A KNEE JERK REACTION by soullesscurses

⤷ rating + length: t+, 4k

⤷ summary:

In the low lighting of the car, Ilya can only see the thin line of David’s lips, pressed close together. “You are… disappointed,” he ventures, but it comes out as more of a question than he was intending. Yuna turns in the passenger’s seat to give him a small, sad smile. “We know you boys must be,” she says. “It was a rough game. But—” “I am team captain,” Ilya interjects quickly, immediately. “Was my fault.” “Hey, no, Ilya,” Shane shushes him, shifting to lean into his side now fully. “It’s a team sport, you know that. It’s just—first game of the season, it’s hard to get in the groove. We’ll get there.” [or, Shane and Ilya lose their first game of the season on the Centaurs. Ilya knows what to expect from his own father. He doesn’t know not to expect the same thing from Shane’s.]

⤷ notes + warnings:

had me already at the use of an erin lecount title. stayed for the premise that made my hurt/comfort loving heart ache and the inadvertent inner child healing. ilya comfort specifically hits different, especially when it's with the yuna/David/shane polycule. ugh I love them and this so much.

✒️ TRUTH by Emphysematous

⤷ rating + length: e,48k, 5/6 chaps

⤷ summary:

Despite all the huge strides in alpha/omega pride over the last few decades, despite the new legal protections and parades and pride matches, despite there even being athletes from other sports who had come out - there still isn't a single known alpha in the MLH. And obviously, it goes without saying that there are no omegas. Shane Hollander has been masking as beta since he was fifteen. He's been a successful hockey star since he was seventeen. He's been fucking Ilya Rozanov since he was nineteen. Now he's twenty five and two months ago, after the All Stars game, he told Rozanov that he was alpha. Ilya Rozanov has his own secrets. And they're about to come to light.

⤷ notes + warnings:

if you're also a fan of non-traditional omegaverse, I HIGHLY recommend this one. the world building was so in depth and felt so tangible, and for all the a/b/o I've consumed over the years, I don't think I've read one that worked quite the exact same as this one. it was a super nice surprise, and lots to get immersed in if you like longer fics too!

✒️ WE ALL NEED A PREHISTORY by newghost

⤷ rating + length: nr, 9k

⤷ summary:

Your name is Shane Hollander and you have never known hunger. You are destined for a crown and you have a mother who means to make sure her heritage to you doesn't stop you from getting it. There is a labyrinth inside you that you guard closely, for it holds a monster that cannot be allowed to escape for all to see. Your name is Ariadne of Crete.

⤷ notes + warnings:

ok so one thing about me is that I fucking LOVE a character study written in second person. I will devour it every time. this one is just a bonus that it's got gorgeous prose, mythology lore, and trans shane too. it was just so nice to get lost in it for a while. SECOND POV THEY WILL NEVER TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ME !!!!!! SO GOOD !!!!!!

✒️ VIENS GOÛTER by soursloppy

⤷ rating + length: e, 3k

⤷ summary:

In which Shane Hollander gets dumped in La Banquise at 9pm on a fucking Thursday.

⤷ notes + warnings:

more trans shane, and I loveeee a college/university au. the chemistry between them was amazing thanks to the lovely writing, and I found myself getting so intrigued by the little bits of in-world lore that were subtle but very interesting. (and, of course, the smut was super hot as well sjdhgfsjkgf 10/10)

✒️ YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT by swans

⤷ rating + length: e, 3k

⤷ summary:

Ilya stumbles back, blindly reaching for the door. “You should call your girlfriend. I will — ” Shane’s head turns fully to look at him. The look in his eyes is devastating. Ilya’s hand, slick with sweat, slips. “I don’t want Rose,” Shane gasps. “I want you.”

⤷ notes + warnings:

SEX POLLEN !!! SEX POLLEN FIC !! we don't have nearly enough of these and this one was so good. check tags re the rose + infidelity situation, but I loved the formatting here and the prose and the way everything was laid out. the premise of them just absolutely NEEDING each other and no one else will do is just so delicious.

✒️ IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH by Gnomey2001

⤷ rating + length: e, 5k

⤷ summary:

After running out on Ilya post–tuna meltdown, Shane feels like absolute shit. It’s not until the middle of the night, stuck in a hotel room with Hayden, Shane realises he quite literally feels like shit as he spills his guts out in front of his very worried roommate. By morning, the game is cancelled—the Raiders are down with stomach flu… and so is the Metro’s Captain. Stranded while the rest of the team flies home, Shane thinks he is left to suffer alone—until help arrives from the place he least expects it. And to make matters worse, Hayden is starting to ask questions Shane really doesn’t want to answer.

⤷ notes + warnings:

ok I just found this one and I was FLOORED by this premise. it's so simple but it's SO GENIUS and absolutely a more realistic way that I think it could have possibly come out in-universe. (I have also been known to enjoy a sickfic and/or them taking care of each other so. sue me.)

✒️ LET ME TELL YOU WHO I AM by emotionsandphenomena

⤷ rating + length: e, 7k

⤷ summary:

Five times, Luca is in the wrong place at the right time. And one time, he gets lucky.

⤷ notes + warnings:

THIS IS HOLLANOVAAS TERRITORY !!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! idk I just love the trope of married hollanov having the vibe of 'we saw you from across the locker room and think you're hot' and luca being the personification of 😮 great premise great setup great internal monologue so good.

I couldn't narrow down any specific ones to put on this list. I went on a spree through this author's whole catalog and they're all amazing. most works are under ~5k words and under ~10k hits, so check some of them out if you have the time! amazing smut and sharp, stellar writing.

heated rivalry fic recs! (absolute favorites in red)

like one of your girls - shane hollander's internalized homophobia and his jealousy duke it out. this was one of the first fics i read in the hr fandom that actually engaged with how a brutal sport and culture would messily intersect with desire and it's so good

tongues a-wagging - shane starts learning russian from a russian player. who isn't ilya. the monologue in chapter 2 actually made me insane

clear to a hedgehog - ilya is a hockey player, shane is a doctor, ilya thinks shane thinks he's a mobster, they still fall in love

the belly of the whale - shane as a creature that rejects all indulgence, except one, even though it won't love him back (or so he tells himself)

Rotten Saints - ilya going through the downward spiral of self-hatred leading him to propose that shane can sleep with other people, melancholy and beautifully written

Teenage Dirtbag - snapshots of ilya's childhood in russia, or my favorite crackfic in the fandom

World on Your Shoulders - a panacea to all the attempted woobiefication of shane hollander, who, as should be remembered, is a hockey captain with all the baggage that comes with it

Luchik, Darling - ilya and irina and russia and that odd grief of realizing your home isn't your home anymore, gorgeous prose

Dig Two Graves - wherein the centaurs-voyageurs feud gets ugly. this one is bleak and brutal but excellent if you're in the mood to get emotionally eviscerated

lone star series - hollanov and the existencial horror of the self and children, told through an abortion, a miscarriage and an adoption

Friendship in Retrospect - cliff marleau befriends ilya in the way one befriends a stray cat

free rein - i'll just drop a quote here: "You are not a god, Hollander told him once. But, oh. When he looked at Ilya like that."

as you mean to go on - babysitting the pike kids and the angst of wishing for the unattainable normalcies of other people's lives

Halt and Catch Fire - a massive data leak forces shane and ilya to go through the horrors of bureaucratized mhl homophobia, unconventional format with extensive research

Gambit - butch4(closeted)butch hollanov, wherein chess is sex

#noticing - svetlana and shane run into each other in a bar during the rose landry era

Pale Imitations - from the author's summary: "everything is about smoking, except for smoking which is about Shane Hollander"

Good Losing - alpha/alpha hollanov and the perversity of sexuality going up against what should be your nature

return of spontaneous circulation series - they're paramedics, written with incredibly verisimilitude as a medical drama (part 3 is also just *fans my face*)

coach, I'm threading needles - shane attempts to get better at saying no to ilya, ilya responds like any sane person would and sleeps with a girl in shane's jersey

we're strangers, we're not friends - ilya's rookie year as a mildly disastrous teenager

A Good Latch - per the author's tags: "tfw you want to knock Shane up and end up contemplating what it means to parent," incredibly fun

Old Habits - shane meets sasha at svetlana's birthday celebration, or: a spiritual successor to the scene where ilya rejects sasha and then looks at his phone at the thread from jane

behind enemy lines - the daemon au where they're also soulmates and find out in possibly the worst scenario (sochi)

autoclave - fuck or die with all the angsty consequences

Observations on Fatherhood - shane and david hollander and the pain of knowing you can only try to protect your child from the world

Wreck My Plans - shane attempts to deal with his feelings for his rival by setting up rules to guide himself by to not get too close. if he's succeeding or not is debatable

The Great Jane Debacle of 2016 - the raiders get stuck with post-tuna melt ilya's crashout, texting fic, hits the sweet spot of crack-angst

Sunday Blue - an absolutely dizzying cnc fic. they're insane about each other and it's so good

A Study in Denial - that feeling when you run into your ex-situationship in the bathroom of the club you're at with your hetcomp girlfriend and you're Totally Over Each Other

four steps to death - or: how to mourn a brother who hated you in a country that's becoming foreign to you

About Summer - the plane disappears, but ilya comes back. so i know i said that DTG was devastating but this. this one actually made me sob—"You will see the blue sky and think I saw that too. And listen to cicadas and you will remember golden dog days and being alive in the wrong hour of the world. You will think summer and then think of these things and then of me."

one of your eyes is always half-shut (something happened when you were a kid) - alexei rozanov's run out of luck in a long luck-less life with a mother who hated him and a brother who's too soft

Change Your Win Conditions - ilya's career-ending injury before he and shane can get back together means he becomes the centaurs' coach. shane finds him anyway

Dinner Tonight? - when you realize you're married and haven't been on a date before, which must be rectified in the most chaotic and perfect way imaginable, feat. a meet-cute in the grocery store, wedding ring theft and the misuse of the word "bro"

Table for Two? - in a similar vein to the above, ilya attempts to ask out shane for years during their situationship, one of the best takes on the oblivious trope i've read

Tuna Melts and Longitudinal Studies - the tuna melt incident, before and after, as seen by ilya's reddit posts, with some absolutely devastating banger lines snuck in with the crack

Fuckboy Fuzz - scott hunter and that olympics story where a medalist used his speech to beg for his girlfriend back, skip-style

smoke on skin - rose landry's relationship to fame, identity, smoking, and ilya rozanov

it waits for you in the shadows - the ilya domdrop fic

Only You (Could Ruin Me Like This) - shane drunk-dials ilya after the club scene

Buzzer Beater series - orgasm denial, the ocean scene in part 2 is insane

and i'll show you fearless - under-negotiated kink as character study my beloved, incredible writing: "Shane is staring up at him with the moon in his mouth, bright and defenceless. Ilya gets the idea that even if he’d thrown a fist into Shane’s face at this moment, Shane would either let it pass through him like air, or else he would ask how many more times he could be hit."

wait for a different ending - another ilya goes to russia for the last time fic, feat. impulsive dog adoption

holy matrimony - that feeling when you marry the love of your life hastily in secret in a tiny office and for years it's a secret and it's enough but now you're faced with all the things you could have had at the wedding of the other big gay couple and it's tearing at your heart

virtue theory - shane hollander vs. the awful reality of the possibility of failure even if no mistakes were made

mosquito - in complete contrast to the above, ilya rozanov & the trainwreck experience of never denying yourself anything and then crashing out after being denied

anybody like you - shane and shane's figure skating buddy joe, or: closeted man is amazed at his comfort in a new group of friends, not knowing they're queer

6:00am, day after christmas - another shanebortion fic, nobody is having a good time but they're trying

sun bleached flies - svetlana on slowly finding your best friend unknowable, feat. the nuclear poison atmosphere of the rozanov household

no roses for my grave - ilya on the pain of being grigoryevich and, as fiona apple once said, "hunger hurts and i want him so bad, oh it kills"

pierce through me (hit me so physical) - ilya gets his ears pierced and shane is So Normal about it

oh come on shotgun bride - short but excellent fic with yuna & ilya

winners-verse series - so you know how by moving to ottowa ilya's ended the rivalry by downgrading? and how love and resentment don't cancel each other out but can grow together like a twisted tree? how the best intentions can have painful results and sometimes the only thing to do is to learn to live with it? this series is genuinely so fucking amazing, part 2 especially with the realization that love made me do this incredibly stupid thing and i hate it but i can't stop loving you. good stuff (also part 3 just dropped and it is !!!)

snapping birch - david hollander's phone gets hacked, prompting an outing and a twitter meltdown, directly engages with how exactly did it come to the point that shane didn't want to come out to his parents despite them trying to do their best

another uninnocent, elegant fall - aka what a messy celebrity ilya life would look like

Geryon - ilya, less than healthy sexuality and consent issues on all sides

Game Day - last addition, but i just finished this, great dark humor and an absolutely hysterical twist (but also remember it's dark humor)

edit: ok so this got more attention than i expected, ty! also go and comment on the fics!

edit 2: part 2

[nutsandotherfruits]

one of the centurs is having marriage problems and asks the team for advice, he loves his wife he really does but they spend every waking moment together aside from hockey and if he's being honest he's getting a little bored.

The team elects to ask Shane and Ilya, because despite being on the team for years now they are almost Never seen apart. (see the one time Shane went away for a brand deal and suddenly Wyatt understood exactly what cliff meant when he mentioned "the rose laundry skates")

they ask the next morning in the locker room and Shane is freaking out because what if Ilya does find it boring spending all his time with him, he knows he means it affectionately when he calls him boring but surely after so long he must get tired of it, and why did he never tell him they promised they would communicate—

"bored? of Shane???"

and Ilyas just confused because how could someone ever be bored of Shane. he spent years wishing for just one more second with him and now he gets to spend the rest of his life with him, why wouldn't he be anything but the happiest man in the world.

and he says so, with a lot of innuendos that makes the team groan and shanes blushing so hard in the background, even more so after he hears a familiar Russian term of endearment that sounds suspiciously like tomato

*the guy with wife problems listens, resigned to his fate with the realisation that he never should have asked his pathetically whipped teamates.

[nutsandotherfruits]

would ilya choose shane or their children ?

would shane choose Ilya of their children?

just thoughts

[nutsandotherfruits]

WHERE IS THIS HOLLANOV FIC PLEASE HELP I BEG

mention of Dom/sub and non sexual shit under cut

[nutsandotherfruits]

hello void

if you happen to know french please dm me and wouldn't mind my horrible attempt to practice (I am a beginner).

I've looked and all I get from search engines is the same stupid fucking ai app ads

[nutsandotherfruits]

Is your favourite author an ao3 writer?

If they include the following phrases, particularly many of them then it is likely that they are just are deranged as you:

"Tounges battled for dominance"

"*insert name* hummed in response" (x100)

Not x, not y, just z.

"Pure happiness." "Pure sadnes." "Pure love."

"*insert name* smelt of home."

"Breath hitched."

"*insert name* let out a breathe they didn't know they were holding."

"eyes blown/blown eyes"

"hands finding purchase on..."

"laughed wetly*

"oh.

oh."

[nutsandotherfruits]

there's something rotten inside of me.

I find it near impossible to drown out the constant cacophony of voices whispering in my ear telling me I am evil.

I'm drowning doctor! and I can't stop asking myself, why do I hate myself so much?

[nutsandotherfruits]

i feel like a drug addict who's had their crack snatched away from them in the height of their addiction

[nutsandotherfruits]

is ao3 down AGAIN??

[nutsandotherfruits]

Shane: *Walking into their house and getting changed immediately*

Ilya: Fuck, Hollander. Are you that desperate for my cock?

Shane:*Confused, and is now putting his shirt on*

Ilya: What are you doing? Getting dressed, seems counterproductive, no?

Shane: Getting dressed? I'm not getting into bed in my outside clothes.

Ilya: Is this another stupid Canadian thing? what are outside clothes? you wear clothes outside. mostly.

Shane: No. It's just- the dirst from outside. it's different. I don't want to get our bed dirty.

Ilya: it's *our* bed is it?

Shane: Shut up Ilya.

and if Shane finds a clean pair on clothes on Shane's bed whenever he enters the house, that's nothing to do with ilya. nothing at alll.

[nutsandotherfruits]

ngl I might start downloading every fic I've ever read after that hell

[nutsandotherfruits]

ao3 still isn't working someone help me

[luca-haas]

LUCA HAAS FICS

Thought I'd compile some Luca Haas-centric fics, since fics focusing on a side character are kind of hard to find on ao3 (authors, i will love you forever if you use POV or centric tags. mwah). Putting longer descriptions under the read more, to not make this too long <3 This is most likely a part one!

lucarozanov if shane hollander gets mad at me reading about him getting blasted in the ass then he can check his bank account. i know ilya would be chill with it though Luca Haas tries very hard to not let anyone know about his dark (read: embarrassing) past. Unfortunately, the fans are ready to let people know for him. Or, Luca used to run a tumblr blog for Hollanov and the internet goes wild.

so funny. luca haas having a tumblr phase is canon to me

but look at the trees, and look at my face by sargeantwoof | T | 6.6k | oneshot | character study

He is grateful, so grateful to be on this team. They are loving and wonderful, and they don't mind that his mother calls after nearly every game, or that his father sends what feels like bushels of chocolate and treats to the office, always addressed to Luca Haas and his friends, as if he is somehow a star and not just a rookie. “Is it always like this?” he asks once, his tongue unstuck from his teeth, his eyes shining as he glances up at Roz, soaking in the celebratory mood after a hard-fought win. “No,” Rozanov says, smiling at him. His stomach flips and churns, dazzled by the glittering weight of his attention. “This is special, Haasy. A team powered by love and good hockey.” OR: Luca Haas and love, in the years leading up to the Ottawa Centaurs Stanley Cup run.

family as family! team as family! if a warm hug was a fic!

Team Players by fatowlsdotjpeg | M | 40k | multichapter wip | luca/oc

Luca Haas, in his second year with the Ottawa Centaurs, hits his stride. His game is great, his team is even better. Sure, he has one friend outside of hockey, but that's fine. And it's two friends if you count his cat. He has settled into life in a way he would have never thought possible. And then, lightening strikes. Of course, when that happens, his team takes it upon themselves to interfere. And between a roster of hockey players, an evil lesbian, and a badly behaved cat, Luca might find out just how much better things can get, even when they feel like they're already great. That is, if he survives the embarrassment of it all.

love all the ocs here!!

it's a mirror by corsi | T | 9k | oneshot | luca/oc

"We have to get the rookies together," Ilya announces without preamble. "Jesus," Shane mutters. Talk about subtle. "Have you ever left anything alone for once in your life?" He grins. "No. Is how I got you!" Or: There's a new rookie in town. Luca Haas is handling this just fine.

VERY cute. the mix with some social media snapshots is great

and three's a crowd by gurlsrool | M | 10k | part of a series | socmed/chatfic

Luca: Everyone should be celebrating right now, not worrying about me. I’m so sorry Ilya: You're giving us more to celebrate! What is the point of us all coming out if you can’t bottom for two hot men? Luca: I’m not sure how to answer that In which Luca's Stanley Cup celebrations go viral thanks to TMZ and some poorly framed photos. Luckily (and at times mortifyingly), he has all the queer NHL stars who came before him in his corner.

you should read the whole series if you're into chatfics!

On weekends I am other people by rijstkokerwritings | G | 8.4k | oneshot | luca/oc

Luca Haas sometimes feels like he doesn't fully own his body. A Luca POV introspective where he goes to a Pride party by himself, has a lot of feelings about erotic male dancers, meets some familiar and unfamiliar faces, and then meets the people underneath those faces. (With bonus cameos for Ilya and Shane!)

so very cute

Haasy by MountainsoutofAnTehills | G | 3k | oneshot

Luca Haas knows exactly how lucky he is to be living the life he’s living. And everything he has done his whole life has led him here. So naturally, he has no regrets. Except maybe one… He should have said something the first time Zane Boodram called him Haasy. He’s never going to live this down, is he?

another one for the luca haas hollanov tumblr fanon!

Baby Centaurs by WriteSmart | T | 11k | oneshot

To be clear, Ilya is grateful the rookies aren’t growing up the way he did in the NHL. Ilya took the hazing to the chin – humiliation rituals, beat downs, grueling practices to prove he could “hang” with the big guns on the team. That being said, there’s still some part of Ilya that balks at the request by the gaggle of rookies to watch The Iron Giant, a veritable children’s movie at the team’s latest movie night. OR: Five times Shane and Ilya were the support system for the Centaur rookies they dreamed of having when they were younger.

it's about all the rookies but it's a cute af fic so

[nutsandotherfruits]

i think they were right. well, sort of.

I don't think it's the damn phones but I do think it's that godforsaken tiktok app.

never have I seen such hatred, bigotry, lack of any critical thinking skills or nuance, racism, albelism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, even WITHIN things like queer communities.

it's so damaging to fandom and fanfiction. tiktok is all built of getting views and quick 1 second takes. fandom is built of community built over years. fanfiction is for the freaks. for the people that were constantly shunned by society and found their own space. now that space is full of people commenting awful things on fanfiction, not knowing any fandom etiquette, and publicallu criticising and shaming fanfiction as well as fic authors.

if you don't like it, don't read it. if you think that someone identifying some way offends you, then move on. if you don't like what someone is saying for example you hate their fave ship, you block them.

I despise tiktok. it's a virus

[nutsandotherfruits]

i actually can't handle this how tf do you find fanfics on Tumblr that aren't ao3 links I'm in withdrawal
