EXCITING NEWS!

My first ever Ao3 fanfic now has its first three chapters posted and live! I really love this piece and have had an absolute blast with it.

If you love Supernatural, if you love Ghost Files, if you love either, this one is for you! Demon Shane is one of my favourite pieces of fandom lore and I’ve had this concept cooking in my brain for so long, I finally was able to put together an actual story.

Link to it is below, I’m also fullyfunctioningpigeon on Ao3 if you want to follow along, there will be more chapters to come I promise, I’ve got the rest cooking in my Google docs.

I really would appreciate any love this work gets, from the bottom of my heart know that every read will be reciprocated with a forehead kiss 💕

"Shane was almost unnerved by how quickly he’d settled into this body, this name, this life - his friendship with Ryan was the most time he’d spent with any human before, and yet the man fascinated him."

Wow. That’s all I gotta say. I started reading Shane/Ryan fic because I had a weird dream and went looking for comfort fic to ease the edges of my mind. I stumbled upon this fic and was so fucking blown away. I was drawn in because of the demon!Shane tag and the way this story is charted out is insane. It’s nonlinear (there is a liner version tho I’m strongly against it). Just ohmygod read this fic it’s insane and hurts so good.

I’m Gonna Keep You in Love with Me (for a While) – beethechange

Shane is pacing around the hotel room. It’s not a huge room and Shane’s legs are long enough that he doesn’t have much real estate to pace before he has to swing back around for another loop.

“Can you stop?” Ryan asks. “You’re making me dizzy.”

“Okay,” Shane says finally. “Okay. Here’s what we’re going to do. We’re just going to—we’re going to be married. The only way out is through.”

“Um,” Ryan says, because this plan strikes him as counterproductive to their shared goal of not being married.

To me there are the big two when thinking of Shane/Ryan fics. That is to say the others aren’t amazing but two gutted me in a way I was not expecting from I ship I don’t even ship. This is one of the two and fucks sake it hurts me but in a way I really like and neeeeeded. (The other is the one above this)

“I’m serious,” Ryan says. “Don’t go fucking up my body. I want that shit back in the same condition I left it.”

“The same condition—Ryan. I’m not spending hours in a gym every day so you don’t lose muscle mass.”

“I want you to treat my body with the respect you would a national park. Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but memories.”

***

A certain meddling Voodoo Queen of New Orleans thinks Ryan and Shane need some new perspective on life. After an inadvisable ritual deposits Ryan in Shane’s body, and Shane in Ryan’s, the ghoulboys pursue some soul-searching and self-discovery to put things right. Sometimes in a sexy way.

I have found out while reading this fic that I am also a sucker for bodyswap!au. Something about learning to love someone completely while seeing (and being lmao) all of them is so intimate and endearing to me. Plus there’s dumplings in this fic and that is just sweet sweet poetry.

If you can find a way to love me, it’s all right – varnes

When Ryan was a kid, he fell into a pile of bricks. They were playing hide and seek, and he thought he had the best hiding spot: high up in a thickly lush tree, his knees drawn to his chest so that he’d blend in. But the branch broke. He hit his head and doesn’t remember much of what happened after that. When he woke up a few hours later, the sun was setting, and his friends were gone, and his parents were calling for him, their flashlights swinging across the grass. There’d been blood on his bangs.

Anyway, now he can see ghosts.

Kind of.

Look, he’s not great at it.

--

Or: Ryan, personally, has three lists: “NICE GHOSTS,” “GHOSTS I DON’T FUCK WITH,” and, “IDK, SPOOKY STUFF.”

Oh my goddddd this fic is so sweet and so owie. At first I was skeptical because the fanon is that Shane can see demons or ghosts or whatever. But having it be Ryan???? So owie in such a good way. Other then this fic being the masterpiece that it is, I’m going to convince you with one sentence: Ryan has a cat with a ghost in it that demands Taco Bell. That’s it baybee. Read it or you’ll regret itttt.

BFFS Get Married For A Week – Ryan and Shane – aspookycryptidsock

(18,108 words / 8 chapters / Explicit)

Tags: Fake/Pretend Relationship, Fake Marriage, Friends to Lovers, Oral Sex, Hand Jobs, Pining, Mutual Pining

"As I was saying," Curly continues with a pointed glare in Ryan's direction. "It's my honor to join the two of you in unholy matrimony. The rules are simple, you'll live together, plan one date each, and cherish each other. Til week do you part."

I first read this fic years and years ago. I don’t know how it happened but me and my best friend found it while being at a library and we went feral reading it before their mom picked us up. It’s my origin story to the ship. This fic is my first love and my baby gorl. Shane is intense in a way I lovelovelove. Ryan is dumber then a pile a bricks amen.

Body Farming – shiphitsthefan

Failed suppressants and a surprise heat: the worst of cliches, and here Ryan stands, living the trope on location with the alpha he’s hopelessly in love with. Even worse, they’re spending the night in the famous Bell Witch Cave, completely alone and with no way to contact the outside world.

Ryan knows he can survive and keep his preheat a secret, as long as Shane will stop being so protective and concerned. After all, it’s not like Shane wants to bond with him.

Right?

Your honor I’d like to state my case by saying being horny on main is bc I’m silly goofy and I never meant no harm. ABO fuck or die in a cave? Fuccck kkkk y e aaaa

daring it’s a faded notion – varnes

(28,760 words / 5 chapters / Explicit)

Tags: Paranormal shenanigans, y'all remember that trope where people can't be more than 5 feet apart without Suffering?

The sun is too bright and Ryan’s whole body is alight with something that is eating him all the way up from the inside out, but he keeps his eyes open and he makes himself look, and he tells himself that once he finds Shane, he’ll think about it. Once he finds Shane, they’ll make a plan. Once he finds Shane, and only then, he’ll let himself have the thought he’s been swallowing down like bile since he came to: that they didn’t fall.

They were pushed.

OR: Ryan and Shane get cursed by a ghost, and now they can't be not-touching. It's ... not great.

Ghosties don’t like the no homo and said ummm yeeeeet!!! Into the Grand Canyon then the ghoul boys kiss???? Makes me go hubba hubba

Ryan is desperately in love with his best friend.

Owieeeeeee. This one made me cryyyy. The prose of this fic along with a healthy usage of the word jaunty made this fic deeply emotional as well as made me want to cry when they kissed. Very excellent

“Happy birthday, Shane,” Sara says. “I got you a Ryan.”

“Th—thanks?” Shane says. He looks at Ryan and Ryan just looks back, weirdly impassive, giving nothing away. “But I’m pretty sure I already have a Ryan in this model. What’s the return policy?”

“Not like this, you don’t,” she says, raising her eyebrows meaningfully. Out of the corner of his eye Shane can see Ryan bring his hand to his mouth, stifling a snicker that he turns into a cough. Oh, he thinks.

Oh shit.

I’m not gonna sit here and pretend that this fic is morally correct but Shane/Sara/Ryan fic is what I needed and it blew me away and it is the best smut thank you goodnight

LYM - Chapter three

Pearl could do nothing but stand there, awestruck. Her jaw was tight, and even the thought of opening her mouth to speak felt painful. She always felt like there was someone there, someone observing her every move. She knew it to be true, having heard their voices herself. And yet, somehow, it never felt like it was true until she saw one of Them standing in front of her very eyes. How could she deny that they were always there, controlling every aspect of her life, when someone she had finally learnt once again to trust stood before her as one?

Grian lay at her feet, his vibrantly coloured wings lying limp beside him. He let out a small moan, shaking his head roughly before his eyes opened.

‘You were there,’ he whispered in horror. Fear filled the dark void of his eyes. ‘You were right here. You shouldn’t have seen anything.’ He lost eye contact with her, letting his gaze wander instead to the extremely interesting ground beneath him that lacked any texture.

Pearl swallowed. She knew who–what–she was talking too, knew that she should run and never look back. But she could feel the fear in Grian’s demeanour. She knew him to be dangerous, but he was once again her friend. Either way, she found herself unable to move. ‘You were let in here, agreed to come, even, and yet you’re still one of them. Is that why you’re here? To feed off us until you’ve quenched your thirst for bloodshed, hate, mischief?’

‘I never asked for this,’ Grian said. ‘I never asked to be hated and feared, only to be respected, and to have power. All I wanted was a bit of glory, a bit of control over the world. I didn’t know it would lead to this.’ He swiped across his one pair of eyes, as if trying to rid himself of the tears that had not had the chance to fall.

‘You chose to become one of them; a being you yourself once hated. A being who fed off everything you did, who drove you insane with their cryptic talk and superiority complexes.’ Pearl could remember how much their messages and punishments had annoyed Grian, back in the days before she realised she had to fear each and every person beside her. They were pain in the most advanced form. “They” being the Watchers.

It was surprising how little the average person knew about the Watchers. Then again, what they did know was a mix of folklore and stories to frighten children. Every story was slightly different, with not a single depiction the same. All of them carried the same themes, however; that the Watchers were power-hungry gods who wanted nothing more than chaos and destruction, who knew your every move and had a way of guiding you to do things you never would have otherwise done. None of them were far from the truth. What everyone seemed to always miss, however, is that one day you’d blink and your best friend would become one of them.

Grian swallowed. How long had they stayed silent? The avian, creature–whatever he was– stood up, gently reaching out to hold her forearms in his hands. ‘I thought I’d left them behind, really. I grew sick of them, and dreaded my choice. I thought I’d finally managed to escape. Only recently have they come back to haunt me.’ He glanced over his shoulder towards the Rift. ‘They’re watching, always watching…’ He glanced back at Pearl, his mouth pressed into a thin line. ‘I understand if you want to tell everyone, or if you want me gone. If it’s what you think is best for the server, I’ll go. I never wanted to hurt you all. You’re my family now, and I wouldn’t want to lose that.’ Pain flashed across Grian’s face for a split second. It didn’t take more than a single braincell for Pearl to know who he was thinking of.

‘This happens sporadically?’ Pearl questioned slowly. ‘You have no control, right? But you could, say, work on controlling whether it happens or not?’

Grian thought for a long moment. ‘Hypothetically. I could once, maybe I could again.’

‘I’ll help you.’ It was a risk, but it was one Pearl was willing to take. If she could keep him around without having to worry about him being a danger to the others, anything was worth a shot. ‘I’ll find some way to help you. I won’t let you be taken by them again.’

Grian’s wings dropped. ‘You’d do that for me?’

Pearl grinned, tipping her head back; she had to look quite far down to see him like this. She chuckled. ‘The things I’d do for you idiots.

Grian fought the dragon. He should have been able to go home.

He wasn’t allowed to.
