there was a period of time during the buzzfeed unsolved era where there was a small group of people that genuinely believed shane was a demon or was possessed by a demon. there were three types of demon shane folks. one was "this would be really good for my fanfiction / fanart", another was just "it would be funny if he was", and then there were the guys who were like "guys he never acted the same after he came out of that closet in that one epsiode. guys his eyes rolled into the back of his head when he got an exorcism. guys hes really a demon" and there were at least a few who believed that with their whole heart. i wonder where they are today
Shane being a demon is one of those jokes where like I'm aware it's just a joke but also if Shane came out and said "Hey guys, so I actually am from hell and Satan is my boss" I would be like "Well yeah" and move on with my day.
Heyyy!!! Can you recommend some good, new Demon! Shane fics? I've read almost all of themm 😭💖. (Multi chapter possibly)
sure thing!! here's what was recommended in-server! (please mind the tags!)
All In A Day's Work by Zukufan94 | 2k, M, Incomplete
Shane Madej is a cohost for Watcher Entertainment's Ghost Files. He is also a demon, who feeds off of the extreme amounts of fear his coworker Ryan experiences every episode. He may also be in love with Ryan. Ryan is oblivious to both of these facts.

Shane had never thought too hard about taunting ghosts and demons. But it only takes one badly placed joke to invite in something that is better off left alone. His and Ryan’s comfortable friendship is going to be tested to its limits when a demon unleashes a storm of uncertainties into both of their lives, and lies pile up on both sides. One thing’s for certain: Once the storm passes, his and Ryan’s relationship will never be the same again.
For You Are With Me by goatman_entrapment | 36k, T, Complete
“I’m telling you right now if my eyes turn black, murder me.”
“And I’m telling you right now, I will not kill you.”
“Why?!”
“Because I need to save you!”
Or: Shane finally gets possessed by a demon and it's not as fun as anyone wants it to be.
Speak No Evil by drunkkenobi | 4k, T, Complete
It was boring, sitting in the silence, waiting for any kind of noise. Everything was amplified, from the movement of their clothes to the various bugs chirping outside. Ryan’s heartbeat was loudest of them all, even in the relative quiet. He closed his eyes, repeating his mantras.
I am not my fear. I am not my fear. I am not my fear.
“Then what are you?”
bringing things together that were never meant to fit by Anonymous | 8k, E, Complete
Ryan figured they’d maybe get a couple things on the spirit box that he’d insist sounded like words, only for Shane to dismiss it all as static and overanalysing on Ryan’s part. Perhaps a doll would fall over, or he’d spook himself in a way that made for good content at least.
At any rate, when they bid Mark and Teej goodbye and settle in for the night, Ryan’s not exactly concerned.

And then something came out of the flames. He could feel it, could hear it, the otherworldly growl, the steps on the pentagram, towards him. The- the shuffle of hooves and then-
“Well, this is real awkward, I gotta say.”
Ryan’s breath hitched. He hesitated for a moment, then blinked one eye open. Spotted a familiar shape amongst the flames and opened the other too.
“Shane?”
While investigating a location on his own, Ryan ends up in the hands of a cult and is supposed to be sacrificed to a demon. As it turns out, the demon in question had called in sick two days prior, to tell Ryan he'd have to go ghost haunting alone. "Important family obligation" his ass.
Didn't read the fine print by Ren_Saxon | 13k, M, Complete
“Kiss one Ryan Bergara,” Shane muttered under his breath. “Okay. Sure. How hard can that be? If I hurry, I’ll be back by tea time.”
Shane did not make it home by tea time. In fact, it had been months now and he still wasn’t home. It wasn’t his fault, really. He was kind of stuck trying to gayly seduce a guy who built pillow walls between them in an attempt to physically manifest “no homos”.
Shane is a demon tasked with the mission to corrupt Ryan's soul via seduction. He's not doing a very good job.
What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy? by Ren_Saxon | SERIES: 2/2, 33k, E, Complete
The Worst Demon Ever by drunkkenobi | 67k, E, Complete
Shane is so bad at being a demon that he fell in love with his best friend. When he purposefully leaves evidence in an episode of Unsolved, Hell decides to punish him the best way they know how: by going after Ryan.
i can't believe buzzfeed's biggest hit was run, written and directed by (1) the world's beefiest disney adult, and (2) a demon on vacation from the 9th circle of hell. absolutely incredible
