Fics I want to save for the future when I can't find anything good to read. And in the meantime, share with others so everyone can find something good.

“You’re going to Boston.”
Long after Farah hangs up, the words keep echoing in Shane’s head. If he had thought his thoughts had been chaotic this morning, when his biggest problem had been his rival potentially fucking him when he came to Montreal in two weeks, that’s nothing compared to the code-red panic that started the instant he found out he was being traded to Rozanov’s team.
Rozanov, who was supposed to be his great career rival. Rozanov, who he’s hooked up with twice now. Rozanov, who had been planning on coming to Shane’s apartment in Montreal to fuck him the next time they saw each other. God, how on Earth is Shane going to walk into his locker room in Boston in a few days time?
The impending awkwardness of dealing with Rozanov is almost enough to eclipse the hurt he’s trying to ignore. The knowledge that Montreal values him so little that they’re willing to dispose of him only six months into his rookie season. Almost, but not quite.

Or, Shane gets traded to Boston AU.

“Were you sleeping with Rose Landry?” LeClaire asked, and Ilya felt his entire world flip upside down.
Ilya scoffed and sank into the chair. He stared at his lap and, for a second, wished he could just say yes. It would have been easier. A simpler explanation. Something everyone else could swallow. “No,” he answered instead. “I was not sleeping with Landry.”
Coach sighed, the weight of it settling uncomfortably in the office. “So it was Hollander, then.”
Or
Ilya gets called into his Coach's office after Rose and Shane start dating and an uncomfortable conversation takes place. Ilya realizes some things. Also he may need to stop reading his thesaurus.
This is again one of those fics that are just scratching the perfect itch I have. The whole idea about Shane being part of Boston Bears (or Raiders, dont care) and how it could have been perfect for them. Okay. This doesnt go that far, but the dream is there and path is... being figured out? laid out? being drawn? something. Fuck English.
I just love all these fics where people figure them out and want the best for them. Its just, in canon everyone kinda hates Ilya and in fics I can find the found family he needs, deserves in his corner. Just all that.
You, I Always Need You by hollano_ov
Shane really isn't looking for a relationship, which is why having Ilya around is nice. No strings attached, only great sex. It's a win all around.
The only problem is that Ilya is way, way too nice to Shane's stupid cat.
I saw someone suggest this in Reddit. It was just right after I had just read this. All of that made me think abut this again and how much i liked reading this. So at this point, I just had to add this here too.
This is also scratching my endless itch about AU fics and not having enough of them. But we are getting there! There will be more and even more awesome ones. I cant wait.
In the meantime. Enjoy this masterpiece.
the queen of spades by magneticwave
Technically Q's name and personal details are classified and beyond the purview of field agents, but he's worked for Q branch for ten years and had gone by his actual name for eight of them. His identity is as much of a "secret" as his ineptitude at filing financial reports.
I am stuck in this idea about unreliable narrator. Here I just didnt really know what to believe and where to consentrate. Which is weird but also probably the main point. The whole point is probably that Q is not sleeping enough and cant really figure out everything that is going on around him. Then somewhere there James is causing a lot of havoc. Or something.
I dont know.
This is basically just one of those awesome pieces magnetiwave always writes. And thats most of how or why I fell in love with it. The way they write and express things. Just perfectness.
love you like a loophole by olivetowrite
“Pretend we don't know each other?” Shane repeats, a little confused in all honesty. Wasn't therapy about talking?
“Yes. You are meeting for the first time in this room. Introduce yourselves.”
Shane shifts in his seat, slowly turning to Ilya. It's not all that different from the first time they'd actually met; the awkward vibes radiating off Shane are almost identical. They're just missing a snowy forecast and a cigarette.
He decides to go a step further, standing up. It feels the right thing to do under the circumstances. Who meets for the first time sitting down? He takes a step forward, holding his hand out to Ilya. Or not Ilya. This random man he’s about to meet, who happens to look a lot like Ilya. Ilya takes the cue, standing from his own chair with a shake of his head. He takes Shane’s hand, shaking firmly.
“I’m Shane, uh, Shane Hollander.”
Ilya nods. “Ilya Rozanov.”
——————
Or: Shane and Ilya get sent to reconciliation therapy, and of course, handle it super well.
These two shitheads need therapy. For real. It would do them a lot of good. Maybe not this pseudo therapy (which is still doing them a lot of good) but this is still a step to a better... something. I dont know. I dont even care.
I just like the idea and how it helps them without them actually noticing anything. It just works like therapy is suppose to work. The only thing I would love to read is how everyone reacts to the show and what Ilya and Shane think about it after watching it. A sequel would be so nice.
Thaaaank you.
I Keep Telling Myself, I'm Not the Desperate Type by OrYouCouldHaveMine
Shane steps closer, standing between Ilya’s legs. “I guess that explains it, hm? You don’t have to be confident or good when you’re packing that, do you? You just let people use your big,” Shane accentuates the word by leaning down and touching Ilya’s cock for the first time, only it’s not a caress or a stroke, it’s a rude poke that makes Ilya’s cock jerk in the air, “cock, however they want to? Is that it? Just a thick, fat cock for people to ride when you get too fucking stupid to do anything else?”

Uni AU, loser, stoner frat bro Ilya, pining after popular, jock Shane
Seriously. What have I read? Seriously. I have no clue how I always get this amount of lost and then I even kinda like being lost.
Also. There is a sequel to this, the sequel is as good as this one. So. Yeah.
But still. This is not really as bad as I am making this sound. This is more mellow and just Ilya wanting Shane more than is probably healthy. But what else is new, nothing. So yea.
Have fun!
(We Could Be) Something Great by Anonymous
When Ilya Rozanov goes down on the ice, the Boston Bears are already moving to defend their captain. No one expects Shane Hollander, captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, to be the one who throws the first punch.
Or: the Boston Bears figure out Ilya and Shane’s relationship first—and decide that instead of letting their captain move to fucking Ottawa, they’ll just kidnap a his boyfriend instead. Shane Hollander would make a better Bear anyway.
I am really stuck to the whole idea of Shane being traded to Boston. I love the idea, I love how the team reacts to it, how it affects everything and just how these two idiots are going to survive the whole ordeal.
The only thing I hate is that all of these fics are WIP. There are like three complete fics and I dont like them that much. So I had to switch to WIP fics and thats just a huge pain in my ass. I hate the waiting game and hoping that the fic will get finished and I hope I dont forget about them. Yea. This is one of the WIP I started to read just because I need the stories.
But I really liked this one. The whole kidnapping part and Shane finally understanding how Montreal maybe is a little bit shitty place for him. Okay. Thats not fair. How everyone in Montreal is basically bullying him and the environment is not good for him. That. I like that part.
So yea. Lots of things Im hooked up right now and hoping. I just wish there were more, but in time there will be. I just have to be patient.
Until I Feel Something by HardKinkandDeanWhump
It had been many months since the man, Castiel had been his name, had led him down into the small room and asked him one last time if he was sure.
When Dean woke up he was no longer strapped in place in front of the fuck machine, but instead stretched out flat on his back on the bed. For a moment he just laid there missing the movement but thankful that his ass was still plugged and locked full. He never wanted to be empty again. As he sat up, the plug shifted slightly and he inhaled sharply, closing his eyes and humming to himself in appreciation. This was a new plug, longer and wider, and as he clenched down on it he relished the sensation. Fullness was the gift Castiel was giving him. The single-minded focus on being stretched and filled and fucked, the knowledge -- the certainty, the conviction -- that these were the only sensations he was meant to feel. Castiel was conditioning Dean into what he was truly meant to be: a warm, wet, perfect, beautiful hole.
I have no idea how I found this or why I even liked this that much. Maybe the whole Dean's thought process and how everything moves forward so slowly. Everything is just so slow and gradual and still going forward.
This is just something so out of left field that I have no words and no comments. But for some really weird reason I got hooked and Im adding this here. Yea.
But seriously. Dont read this if you are any way squeamish or sensitive to weird shit. This is the weirdest shit. Yea.
Where Is My Husband! by shaneviews
Four times people assume Shane is lying about his husband.
And one time they’re proven wrong.
I would love more AU fics. Just the boys in different worlds, different lives and how they handle everything. I know in time there will be more AU fics but thats gonna take so long.
This is just a little taste to Shane as university student, married to Ilya. There are even two way too cute sequels to this
No clue what else to say. I loved this. I love the sequels and I want more. Yea. And I have read this like three times already. All that.
All Our Little Victories (and Losses) by Vee (Vera_DragonMuse)
The Pikes had a rough season, but now they may have a path forward to a new home, new friends and maybe some more unconventional changes.
I did not know what I was getting into when I opened this fic. All I knew, was that I really liked the author's other work and wanted to read more from them. Thats it.
This thing did not disappoint. Far from it. This just added another layer to everything and gave me something new to get lost to. I love throuples and would love to read more throuple fics. This is also one of those fic that I would love to have a sequel. I would love to learn how their dynamics play out in day to day life and how they take everything that comes with it.
Here mostly its just all of them finding each other and learning about themselves and the others. And then there is Ilya just adding to the fire.
I liked how innocent they were. How they were kind of lost and how they just went with the flow.
Weird thing is how Joey's pronouns are they/them and I dont usually have problem with that. Seriously. I try to use they always when Im not sure about gender and sometimes even when Im sure about the gender. But here it took my brain way too long to catch up and I hate it. Really.
all of fame jane by goldengalaxies
“ Okay!” St-Simon interrupted loudly. “Can we please go five fucking minutes without hearing about your fucking dick?”
…
“You have a third message from: Jane. Gonna ride you so hard tonight.”
“Holy fuck!” Connors laughed. “This fuckin girl! No wonder she locked down Roz!”
St-Simon groaned. ”I just asked for five fucking minutes, man!” St-Simon whined. “Five!”
(for years cliff marlow deals with jane. one unfortunate bluetooth connection reveals more)
At this point I have read this like five times already. So I think it is about time I added this here. Just so I can go and read this again tomorrow.
home economics by Anonymous
The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed.
Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.
Reentry is harder than expected.
I am not crying. You are.
This is one of those fics that I want you to go read blindly. Know nothing before and have no expectations, thoughts or anything. Just enjoy it as it is.
little renaissance by leafmeal0ne
And Oscar - people said he didn’t like the spotlight, didn’t know how to capture it and keep it the way Lando did. They always compared the two of them, in that regard. Even after Oscar left. But they weren’t right, the strangers, not after the first year at least.
Future fics. Its kind of weird of reading fics about future that have been written a couple of years ago because life moves on and shit happens. That was kind of weird here, but not like bad way. Just made me pause and think sometimes.
Anyways.
I love mentor Lando and how he is with new drivers. How he is there without actually knowing what his job is suppose to be. He exists, helps and doing what he loves. Maybe its hard as fuck sometimes, but most times he just aces it.
They also feel old. Like not just them being in their 30s but sometimes they felt even older. Which was great when you really think about. Everything they have done and the pressure, its bound to give them aging edge. So of course they dont act as normal 30 year olds (if you can say that).
The new drivers were also really great and they had whole personas. I loved that. Yep.
So basically everything was great. Yep.
Quite Something by Igfirecrotch
George looked around and asked, “Oscar’s not coming?”
Alex snorted. “He said he might. You know how that goes.”
Max chuckled. “Yeah, he’s probably already out somewhere with a cute boy and an overpriced bottle of champagne.”
“Speaking about me?”
The voice came from just behind Lando, low, smooth, threaded with amusement.
He turned.
And okay. Yeah.
Cute boy, expensive champagne, it all suddenly made sense.
Or: the one where Lando tries to fix his broken heart with fun, flirting, and very bad decisions.
Commucation is really, really hard sometimes. Even when in the beginninng it was easy and everything was really damn clear. But then it get muddier and muddier. And the saying "situantionships have a lifespan of a milk" (or something) is pretty damn true.
Anyways. This is basically just miscommunications and people being stupid about their own feelings. Also something else on top of that. But yea. Those are the main points.
in the firing line by sincerelylancelot
On Monday morning, Oscar finds a coffee next to his chopping board and a note.
Super cute little restaurant AU fic. Everything you need to have a good start to a day.
Etched Skin by staticsilencee
“Don’t you ever want more with… your soulmate?” With me. Don’t you ever want more with me?
Shane waited patiently for Rozanov’s answer, his heart pounding away in his chest as he stared at the other man.
“No,” Rozanov said decisively. Shane felt his heart shatter as the other man flicked his cigarette dismissively. “I do not have a soulmate.”
Oh. Shane sat in stunned silence for a few moments, his glass of vodka frozen in midair, halfway to his lips.
*
Ilya has lived his life knowing he would never find a soulmate, and Shane has lived his life waiting for his soulmate to acknowledge him.
Yay! Another soulmate fic! There is never too many of these. Never. And thats not even a sarcastic comment.
I kind of like these soulmate fics with a little bit of drama. Not just instantly regonising that the other is their soulmate, but there is a real journey to it. It gives the whole thing a plot and is not just a cute meet and greet kind of thing.
So this has all of that. And little bit drama and sadness and still having all those feeling that pulls them towards each other. So basically everything thats great about soulmate fics.
I cant even remember the last time I wrote about one single fanfic writer. But they really need the extra attention. Seriously.
I found them ages ago, when I was reading 1D fics. I instatly fell in love with their style of writing and how it was always so different depending on the characters, the fandom, everything. Now when I was looking for Heated Rivalry fics, I came across them again and I just fell in love all over again.
Their style and the ability to adapt to everything. Just magnificent. Perfect. I just love every single fic they write and I always wish they never would end. Also one of these people that if they ever publish anything I would throw all my money at them.
So. That good. Seriosly. That awesomely perfect good magnificent.
red hearts, red hearts, that's what i'm on by hanquality
“I was kind of expecting you to be an e-girl, you know,” Lando teases.
“Ah. Sorry to disappoint.” This is awkward. Did Lando add him because he wanted to flirt with a gamer girl? He seriously did not realize that’s what this call was. He thought this was just bros hanging out.
or; oscar piastri accidentally becomes a discord kitten
Fuck. Im drunk and I cant really believe what I just read. Seriously. Someone should take my phone away right now.
With Blood, Sweat, & Tears by newtntommy
Shane is pretty sure he’s being stalked.
“What is your favorite scary movie?”
“I don’t know,” Shane says honestly. “Science fiction.”
Actually why not. It works so its good. Okay. It works even better than I hoped. So that.
