Hey there! I read this super awesome fic awhile ago and now I can’t find it, I was hoping you could help me? I’ve read through the find tag and I know it isn’t there. It was a Theatre AU where Ryan is a lead actor and Shane is a stage manager. I’m pretty sure Shane thought Ryan has a crush on Sara and there was a secret Santa involved somehow. Thanks so much for everything you do!
Baby, You Missed Every Sign by big_brother_wrath for bodhirookes
Summary: When Sara invites Shane to a production-wide Secret Santa, he’s not expecting anything of it. He knows who he is: tense, a control freak, and blunt to a fault. So when he picks up signs that lead actor Ryan Bergara may have a crush on his best friend, Shane is willing to get the two of them together no matter what it takes.
Little does he know that Sara isn’t the one Ryan is after, and along the way, Shane will miss every sign that Ryan may be in love with him.

Commentary: God, this fic is glorious. It’s funny, it’s sweet and it gives you all those happy holiday vibes you need in, you know, almost spring.
For real, this fic has one of my favorite plots because the misunderstanding and Shane’s characterization, actually– everyone’s characterization in this fic is wonderful and it helps the vibe of it, the plot. Really, it’s great and you should read it.
