  1. Summary

    My James Bond-inspired Inception universe.

    There will be more added, as the inspiration strikes, but I figured it would be handy to have all the parts together (and in proper chronological order) for easier reading.

  3. Summary

    Bit of an explanation for you: back in 2015(!), I took on a self-imposed writing challenge. To write a short fic every day for about a month. Now, I didn’t end up lasting the entire month, but I DID write a lot. I want to say about fifteen little stories, give or take. None of them are anything super in-depth or fancy - I was just trying to write, write, write. And looking back on a few of them, I think they’re actually pretty okay.

    So, to that end, I’m gonna put a few (if not all) of them up here, on Ao3. Don’t expect anything too quickly though; unfortunately my rough drafts seem to have disappeared, so I’m having to copy/paste everything from tumblr into my notes, paragraph by paragraph.

    Fandoms, ratings, and tags may vary (slightly).

    Summary

    “Uh,” he says, looking up from his screen and feeling his ears go hot, realizing for the first time that this habit of his hasn’t actually come up before until this exact moment.

    “What?” Rozanov asks, sounding more amused than anything else. “You are one of the people who does Instagram for food now?”

    “No,” Shane says, stalling between answering and finishing his Snap so he can send it to Melissa, “one sec.” He finishes typing out 'Tuna melt. Chips. Pickles. It smells really good. Swiss cheese, I think.' before he looks back to Rozanov, putting his phone facedown on the coffee table. “Just sending it to someone on the staff. She likes knowing what I’m eating.”

    He doesn’t know if Melissa likes knowing what he’s eating, per se, but she also seems pleased when he talks about enjoying food for things beyond how many grams of protein it has in it.

    “Ah,” Rozanov says, in a tone Shane can’t quite read. “You always send her your food then, this girl?”

    (shane has a habit of sending his team's dietitian his meals for approval) (the problem with this habit? he forgets to tell ilya exactly what it is that melissa does) (how the tuna meltdown is AVERTED through the power of miscommunication)

    Summary

    “I thought Ilya was, like, the man here,” Hayden motioned. Something suspiciously sounding like Jackie’s voice in the back of his brain told him that wasn’t the right wording, but he was too tired and already too buzzed to care. Besides, this was Shane, he didn’t need to say the perfect thing. Shane knew what he meant.

    Scott shifted. “They are both men, Hayden” he said very formally. Hayden felt like his dad was lecturing him.

    Hayden sighed. “No, Shane, you know what I mean.”

    Shane’s brow furrowed in concentration. “Like, because I bottom?” He said, slightly embarrassed.

    Scott’s steady gaze on Hayden turned very sharp.

    “No!” Hayden started. “Well, maybe? I don’t know how that works. I just mean, like, you’re real gay and Ilya likes women, right?”

    OR 5 times Hayden realizes other people know his best friend better than him, and the 1 time Shane tells him himself.

    Summary

    It was two rings and then his thick accent and smooth voice washed over Shane like a slow molasses. “Hollander,” Rozanov sighed. “It is late. I thought you had date, no?”

    “I fucked up,” Shane whispered biting back a sob.

    Shane drops after he sleeps with someone that's not Ilya, so naturally he calls Ilya to take care of him.

    Summary

    “Okay, pause. Is he really your fucking best friend, Shane?” Hayden's tone was weird, an entitled undertone shining through that was starting to bother Shane to his bones. “You gotta be kidding me, bro.”

    “Why? He’s my husband. Everyone says you gotta marry your best friend, so I did. What’s wrong with that?”

    “Dude, that doesn’t make sense! I’ve been by your side longer than he has—”

    “No, actually.” Shane corrected, as he fucking should have after the wedding, after the digs started to sting more than a chirp should. “I met Ilya before I signed with the Metros.”

    or: ilya rozanov is shane hollander's best friend, to hayden pike's shock and horror!
