I’m much more active on Threads these days, follow me @karanctsfics for extra scenes/sneak peeks/all the good stuff!
Currently Writing:
Déjà vu: In 2014, Ilya shocks the world and breaks Shane's heart by disappearing without explanation and without a goodbye kiss.
In 2024 after a career ending injury, Shane retires to coach girls hockey and figure out the rest of his life, but when newly divorced Ilya shows up with his twin girls, Shane has to decide if he’s brave enough to risk a rekindled romance with the first and only boy he ever loved.
Should have 34-ish chapters and updates mostly weekly!
Tagged #TwinVerse or #DejavuVerse for asks and snippets of upcoming chapters.
Can't Stop Thinking About:
BareVerse Sequel following-ish The Long Game. Major plot points: oops unplanned mating heat, Ilya moving teams, being outed, proposal, Ilya's mental health journey, utterly sappy sweet first holidays together.
Tagged #BareVerse2 for asks and scene sneak peeks.
Have a quick peek at a snippet from one of my favorite upcoming scenes in the Bare-Verse sequel!
I am absolutely obsessed with Omegaverse!Hollanov and their very specific version of being *quiet* with one another but also, anytime the Dom/Alpha/Big Strong Boy Top tries to "well if YOU need to be held, then I'm happy to do that" when really it's THEM who's vibrating out of their skin needing to be cuddled and their partner is just like fondly sarcastic "sure this is all about me and not about you, come on." ?? That's the Good Shit.

“Is okay that I’m here?” The Alpha asked and Shane laughed, “Are you serious? Of course it is! Did you leave after the game and drive two hours just to tell me goodnight? Ilya, that’s insane and amazing and…”
His voice trailed off, and Shane tilted his head, setting his hand at his mate’s cheek and checking in, “Are you alright?”
“Wanted to see you.” Ilya covered the Omega’s bonding spot with his palm. “Okay?”
“Always, yeah.” Shane kept studying him, searching his Alphas eyes and surreptitiously checking his scent for… something. Something was different, Ilya hadn’t spur of the moment driven two hours at ten o clock at night after a grueling game just to be romantic. Something was wrong, the Alpha scented brittle, and Shane clicked his tongue trilling at his mate, “Ilya. Tell me. What is it?”
“Just ah," Ilya’s blue eyes flickered stressed red for a blink, and he set his thumb to the corner of Shane’s mouth, pressing coaxing at Shane’s bottom lip. “Do you need to be quiet for a while, Omega?”
“I think maybe,” Shane raised his eyebrows , “maybe you want me to be quiet for a while…?”
“Only if you need it.” Ilya tried to smile but it was more of a grimace, his fangs outlined tense behind his upper lip. “Do you need to be quiet?”
Shane didn’t need to be quiet. He needed to finish writing a rough draft proposal for the summer camp idea and he needed to get some sleep before the game against Toronto… but Ilya wasn’t asking or suggesting, the Alpha was practically begging Shane to need to be quiet.
Something was wrong and Ilya needed to talk about it, but he needed to do it that way, their way, the very specific intimate way they’d found at the cottage where Shane snuggled in cozy against Ilya’s chest with Ilya’s fingers in his mouth, or settled down his knees with Ilya’s cock on his tongue so he was quiet and the Alpha could close his eyes and unburden his heart and soul and mind with the physical reassurance that his Omega mate was there, that he was held, that it was safe.
Shane didn’t need to be quiet, but Ilya needed him to be quiet so the Omega turned into another press at the corner of his mouth and let his eyes filter adoring understanding gold at his mate and nodded, “You’re right. I do need some quiet. I’ve been so stressed out about this summer camp thing, it’s driving me nuts.”
“Okay, yes. Yes.” The kiss Ilya gave him was emotional. Grateful. He grabbed Shane into a tight hug and rumbled into his ear, “Anything you want. Not on your knees this time, you need me to hold you?”
“Yeah, I need you to hold me.” Shane pushed his Alpha onto the couch then cuddled in on top of him, legs tangled and knees knocking and cheek resting right over Ilya's heartbeat He made sure to sigh out loud when Ilya pulled a blanket up to his shoulders, made sure to nuzzle at his Alpha’s chest in appreciation when Ilya started petting through his hair and rubbing at his back—
— and when Ilya traced two fingers over Shane’s lips offering, the Omega made sure to purr as he drew Ilya into his mouth and settled in to be held.
And.
“Fuck.” Ilya had to close his eyes and grit his teeth and hold his breath so he wouldn’t sob when his mate started purring for him, sweet and gentle and obviously seeing right through Ilya’s badly managed ploy and still wholly accepting of whatever the hell he needed.
“I love you.” He said roughly, and when Shane only purred louder, Ilya took a deep breath and switched over to Russian so he could tell his beautifully obediently quiet Omega—
“I talked with my therapist again today. I am scared something is wrong with me, like was wrong with my Mama…”
BareVerse2 idea (or maybe just a standalone short fi?)
Omega!Shane would 1000% practice deepthroating with a very specific type of Alpha-anatomy type ‘marital aid’ so the next time he gets on his knees he can very confidently ask Ilya to “knot my mouth, I can handle it”.
It wouldn’t matter, because the second Alpha!Ilya heard those words, he would quite simply *explode* and after Shane stops laughing at just how fast the entire thing was over and once Ilya can see straight again he’s like ⁉️⁉️⁉️ but also ‼️‼️‼️.
Could be fun??
(But also because I love a good post bj/post cockwarming aftercare scene and the aftercare Ilya would give Shane for that would be epic)
Clocked out of work and clocked into #BareVerse2 to work on an actual title, working chapter titles and to do some plot arranging because I have got to figure out the context/aftermath of a Bare-canon style but also TLG compliant Scary Plane Scene.
But then I got distracted by The Wedding Scene.
Now I have been Ugly Happy Crying for twenty minutes writing Hollanov’s wedding vows and the forever promises they make to each other as a bonded Alpha/Omega pairing.
Someone save me from this fandom, it is wrecking all my best intentions of being Emotionally Stable.
Not to Omegaverse on main or whatever, but the pics of HudCon in their fancy stuff and very specifically Hudson with his dramatic shirt and big smiles makes me want to work on BareVerse2 because I saw that picture and went “what a happy Omega omg”
