    Summary

    “I’m here, you’re alright,” a new, heavily accented voice came from somewhere behind him. It sounded really far away, but suddenly strong, steady hands were on his back. “I need to cut the seatbelt to get you out.”
    Shane wanted to talk, wanted to nod and say that he understood, but he felt like a sack of bones, unable to get his voice to work, or his body to co-operate. Shane was distantly aware of being cut loose, of being caught as he sagged forward. He gasped at the pain when his shoulder landed against something soft.

    There was a sharp, short inhale.

    “Shane?”

    OR

    Five years after one unforgettable night with a stranger in a Boston frat house, Shane Hollander has built the life he always thought he wanted: professional hockey, a successful career and the perfect girlfriend. But when Rose breaks up with him, Shane is forced to confront the uncomfortable truth that something has never quite felt right, and his thoughts turn to the one person he’s never quite been able to forget. And then, on the worst night of his life, the past comes crashing back into him.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander fights in an underground club run by the Rozanovs; when he's told to throw a fight and proceeds to do the exact opposite, it is his rival, Ilya, who comes to his rescue.

    There is, of course, a small price to be paid.


    You are not into Rozanov, Shane told himself, but immediately amended with a sigh. Okay, you're into him. He's objectively handsome. But you do not want to be a sex slave, no matter how hot he is. Sex trafficking is very, very bad. It would be a deeply non-consensual situation.


    or, i watched that heated rivalry ripoff floating around tiktok and decided to give it a spin. formerly titled "and i am the fire"

    Summary

    Dr. Grace is in for a long haul on the way to planet Erid. Unwilling to enter another coma to preserve his own mental health, he plans to spend four concious years aboard the Hail Mary for Rocky's sake. But as anxiety and hopelessness surrounding Grace's past shortcomings and his uncertain fate set in, it's going to take a lot to pull him through.

    Maybe a certain alien friend can help, if Grace would let him.

    (Based on both book and movie canon, mostly book. Updates frequent but unscheduled.)

    (EDIT 08/29/26: Sorry for the indefinite hiatus, while I have no set date for returning, do know that I still have my eye on this fic and plan to get back to updating it sometime this fall!)
