H.M : ATTRACTION GAME - (on wattpad)⟶this one is so peak you need to read it! highly recommended & my fav heeseung fic...
Just read this fic by RipSoul, and the plot is so unique but it works so damn well!!! This genuinely sent me down a lucha libre rabbit hole, this sport is so so fun to watch and the athleticism and art is genuinely impressive
I've been reading Heated Rivalry fics since December and I thought today was a good day to look through my bookmarks and recommend some of the best One-shots I've read in this Fandom.
Below are 16 recommendations to honestly incredible fics, some of them are really popular and you might already know them but we have over 20K fics in this tag (insane) so I think this list might still be useful for someone.
(Some of these might fit in more than one category, but I choose the one that I belive better represented the fic)
☆ Character study
Compatible by jewelledfoxes
Explicit / 18K / One-shot
Ilya’s blood has always run hotter than Shane's.
Or: Yay Hollanov free use! Everybody cheered!
(It's about sex but it's also about their relationship and I have read it several times totally recommend it)
The Performer by toxotes
Explicit / 14K / One-shot
Sometimes they're curled up on the bed together afterwards and Shane runs his hands up and down llya's body, rhythmic and smooth, touching just to touch. Ilya stunning in the literal sense of the word: Shane is paralyzed by him, struck dumb. Desire may never be a problem here, but understanding is: Ilya feels distant and incomprehensible to Shane.
A cross-section of Shane Hollander's sex life
(It deals with a lot of complicated feeling about sex and attraction and Shane growing up and accepting himself)
Us until You by chaentics
Mature / 10K / One-shot
you, plural.
or: Svetlana has Ilya, and then she does not.
(Svetlana POV on ilya during the whole hollanov situationship)
My 30-Days of Anon HR Freak Shit by Anonymous
Not a One-shot but a series of One-shots (kinda)
(It's really filthy but has really good writing and there's delightful character studies in most of the fics)
☆ AUs that explore Shane and Ilya's relationship with a slight twist (might include magic)
don't leave me this way by frenchleaves
Mature / 36K / One-shot
ilya gets hit on the head during the emergency landing in Tampa and thus begins his week-long stint as a ghost. whatever bad thing that can happen, the proceeds to do so. it's definitely not fun for ilya, and definitely not fun for shane either.
(It's a lovely read and the summary explains it pretty well, you should read this)
for the bible tells me so by vividblossom (dirtymudblood)
Explicit / 17K / One-shot
Shane Hollander struggles to reconcile his faith with his undeniable attraction to a man.
Or a case study in Lust.
(Shane featuring Religious Guilt because why not?)
☆ Time travel (yes it has its own category)
fall in love again and again by Ehlihr (ehlihr)
Mature / 24K / One-shot (kinda)
Chapter 1: Shane wakes up on the same Tuesday over and over again after leaving Rozanov in a rush. Tuesday is his second least favourite day of the week, so he's not really happy about it.
Chapter 2: Ilya notices Shane acts strangely. He just never remembers
(Not a fan of the groundhog day trope but this fic made me reconsider that)
circle back season by Anonymous
Teen / 9K / One-shot
At the cottage, Shane and llya meet eighteen year old Shane Hollander. This is really only a surprise for one of them. Everyone handles it as well as can be expected.
(The time traveler's wife AU basically)
nothing's ever the way that i remember it (i don't want a violent end) by queenofseventeen
Mature / 31K / One-shot
Quietly, in a voice that couldn't disguise his pain, Ilya said, "I already chose you, Hollander." Then so silently that it was barely different from breathing. "Sometimes I wish I hadn't.
(a.k.a llya expresses regret about choosing Shane and Shane gets sent back in time to fix it only in this universe Ilya never came onto him at all.)
(Shane time travels and decides to choose ilya in a different universe)
☆ Hollanov getting outed in different ways
for richer or poorer by lowkey_existential_despair
Explicit / 14K / One-shot
There was a twitter post. A video. The caption said #pissgate. The video started playing automatically, and Ilya saw the nondescript white tile of the Metros locker room, and then the camera peered around a corner, and there he was. There Shane was. It played just long enough for llya to hear himself-say it-and Shane- piss on me. please-before his phone fell from his nerveless fingers and shattered on the concrete.
(I was put off by the watersport tag for a long time until I finally read it and all I have to say it that it deserves to be read even if you aren't into that)
me and my wild boy, and all of this wild joy by colacatenjoyer
Not rated / 4K / One-shot
All in all, it could have been worse.
It's not like you can measure the full length of Shane's dick, or see the exact moment that llya swallows down the mess of spit and his own cum from Shane's mouth after he sucked the life out of him.
It's just, well, everything else.
(A video gets leaked and they deal with the aftermath)
☆ Cute and hilarious and kinda weird (in a good way)
a load of lies by badmetaphors
Gen / 5K / One-shot
BREAKING: Local man gets pavlov'd by the KonMari method, more at 11.
(Featuring Centaurs and Ilya's laundry kink)
Baby By Me by Anonymous
Teen / 7K / One-shot
In which a single misunderstanding spirals into becoming the MHL's greatest secret: Shane Hollander is pregnant.
(Exactly as described in the summary, hockey boys are incredibly stupid in this and it's hilarious)
Teenage Dirtbag by Nullevoy
Teen / 5K / One-shot (but it's part of a series)
Clips and photos of llya's teenage years in Russia get leaked
(Teenage ilya is a menace that wears tracksuits everywhere)
Impacto by ilyacruzeirense
Mature / 16K / One-shot
When Canada's hockey star, Shane Hollander, is your twin brother, it's expected that llya Rozanov becomes part of your life; just not in the way that the public may think.
Or, 5 times that Hudson, Shane's twin, notices something more than a rivalry was happening + 1 one time Ilya finds out that Shane has a brother
(Super weird concept but absolutely fantastic fic 100% would recommend)
Dinner Tonight? by FriPie
Explicit / 15K / One-shot
There was nothing standard about Shane and Ilya's relationship, so it really shouldn't have been so surprising that they had their first date over a decade after meeting each other.
It also shouldn't be surprising that it took roughly five minutes before it turned into a competition.
(It's just them having a first date after everything, so it's really cute)
