In Close Quarters [Game Changers, Hollanov, nc-17]

In Close Quarters by Anonymous 

Shane slips through his front door and back into his quiet apartment. He leans back against the door and takes a steadying breath in his dark apartment. After a moment, the music next door turns off and Shane is left with only the pounding of his own heartbeat in his ears. 

He closes his eyes and tries not to think about Rozanov or the way Shane’s entire body lit up like a live wire when he said in that low, accented voice, only if you ask nicely. He’s hard in his penguin print pajama pants and now he’s going to have to jerk off and shower before he can sleep. While trying not to think about his asshole neighbor. 

This is bad. This is very bad. 

In which Shane Hollander's new next door neighbor is a menace who always seems to answer the door shirtless. 

I have this feeling like I havent finished reading this yet. But no idea why. Because I have closed the tab on my phone and I can remember the whole thing, just not excatly how it ends. But this was good and I couldnt stop reading, so why I cant remember how this ends? 

The vibes I got from this in the beginning were so off. This was basically everything else than I thought it would be. Maybe the problem is in me or not. But its not a bad thing, I liked this even more because of it. So all good there.

 Yeaaa.

“How…scintillating.” 

Hermione gripped her fork and knife more tightly. “Yes, it is rather fascinating, Lucius.” Draco twitched in his chair when she referred to his father by name. Was he really that disturbed by it? What did he think she would call him? Mr. Malfoy? Or— 

Actually… -- 

Or, Hermione seeks an anonymous sperm donor to father her child. But as contract negotiations grow a lot more...personal, she quickly finds herself in over her head. 

I have read this twice now. Why? I dont know. This has a lot of things I dont like to read about but something just pulls me towards this. Weird.

But. This is not as bad as the tags may imply. Its not some cute, innocent fic, but its not like super hardcore either. Something between there. And there is actually a pretty great plot there somewhere and a lot of feelings. Yep.

Shane was twelve when hockey scouts started showing up to his games. He was barely fifteen when a check went horribly wrong, fucked his knee to hell and gave him a grade III concussion. During rehab he found swimming, and he was seventeen when he went to the Olympics as a relay-only swimmer who only swam the prelims. 

He’s 24 and working for his mom’s sports PR company when he meets Ilya Fucking Rozanov. 

May contain: Shane Hollander navigating what it means to be mostly normal when your whole childhood was about preparing you for greatness. Shane Hollander attempting to flirt. Possibly less than 100% accurate descriptions of what a sports PR agent does. 

At this point I really want to read a fic from Ilya's point. Like the whole fic, not just half of it or some smaller part. I just want to get inside of his head and enjoy the madness. Like there are so many good fics from Shane's point of view, almost all the fics I read are from his pov. So please, give me something that is 100 % of Ilya.

Anyways. This. This is something good, chaotic, full of weird feelings and life just happening. Even the timeline is super short, but it feels longer. 

I dont know. 

I started reading this while I was on the road and then continued while half dead at home and finished at work. First I was like, this is surprisingly good (found this from some random forum) and then the next opinion was all about how this is so shitty and how did I even like this the beging with. Okay. The second opinion was formed with me being dead tired and half asleep. But in the end, this was good, really good and I can blame all shitty things going on in my head to my tiredness. 

So. Yea. I really dont know. 

quick, he needs more hockey! [Game Changers, Skip, Hollanov, oneshot]

quick, he needs more hockey! by SafelyCapricious 

Kip sometimes teases Scott for how he prefers to stay off social media. But after some of the responses to his very public coming out, it's a survival mechanism more than not caring. Even Kip is less connected online than he used to be. 

So the first sign Scott has that something had happened is when his coach catches him after practice — he stayed late to help two of the rookies — and tells him that management wants to talk to him as soon as possible. 

Shane Hollander has been traded to the Admirals.

I loved this universe and I want to learn everything about this universe from everyone's point of view. 

This just scratched the surface and made me curious. The possibilities are endless and understanding everything is never ending. 

Okay. The thing is. This has so many questions that you will not get all the answers. There are so many other minor details that just gets you hooked and then you are utterly disappointed when it all ends. Because this should never, ever end. Yep. 

Im in love. 

Policy Change [Game Changers, Hollanov, multichapter, nc-17]

Policy Change by josie_ides (josephides) 

Four months post Sochi, four months of being ghosted by Ilya Rozanov, the Metros are bought by Petrov 7, a multi-national corporation headed up by Mikhail Petrov, an openly out billionaire who has plans to transform the MLH, starting with the Metros. 

I hate how I find so many good WIP fanfics and then I have to wait for all those zillion chapters to be written and published. I fucking hate. Its the worst. And then this has been one of them too. 

But the thing here is, is how I really love Shane's autism here. You can pretty much feel it. How he is little bit lost sometimes and how some things are just so far away and he doesnt care, notice, anything. He just experiences these things that some other people would just know whats happening around them. I really love this about this fic.

One other thing is how Shane is finding himself and learning to understand things around him. This is such a Shane centric fic that is definetly one of my favorites. This just has all the feels and reasons and it has been build so perfectly. Its just perfect. Seriously.
