    Summary

    Shane Hollander comes out and unleashes Shane Hollander Hysteria across the NHL.
    All-stars circle like it's free agency and he’s the only contract available.
    DMs combust. Rival captains get bold.
    Connections start forming faster than anyone can keep up.
    The Metros couldn’t care less because Shane keeps dominating on the ice while getting fucked in multiple time zones.
    It becomes the worst-kept secret in professional hockey: everyone wants their turn.
    Or:
    Shane Hollander comes out and discovers freedom can look like a lot of things.
    Sometimes it looks like sex across time zones.
    Sometimes it looks like queer community forming around him across the league.
    Sometimes it looks like becoming the most confident version of himself he has ever been.
    Shane Hollander is having a great time.
    This fic is loud, messy, and sometimes a little ridiculous until it isn’t.

    Shane-centric.
    Multiple partners/poly dynamics.
    Character studies of many different men.
    Finding queer joy and community.
    Autism, mental illness, and different attachment styles.
    Or as I like to say..
    A slow emotional horror story inside a romcom porno.

    Summary

    When you wake up in a cryogenic pod with no memory of who you are or what got you there, panic is quick to ensue. One grave injury later, and coming into contact with a group of strange men shows you that you may not need all the answers to find a place for yourself in this new--horrifying--world. You go on a journey of self-discovery, build your first ever friendships, and dig yourself into an even deeper hole than you started in.

    But when you finally feel that you fit in, what's stopping your foggy past from stabbing you in the back?

    (PSA: I'm trying to be careful about how I portray any characters based on real people in this work, but any and all actions taken by the characters do not reflect whatsoever on the people they are based on.)

    Summary

    *****

    He frowned and shrugged with one shoulder, both her arms let go of his neck and she dug them between her stomach and his chest, curling her little fists into the hem of her shirt.
    “That is…”
    “A child, yes.”
    “A literal child.”
    “A toddler, to be precise.”
    “What the fuck, Jolly?”
    Pursing his lips, Nick nodded, then pulled off his glasses to rub his eyes. “Alright then.”, he snickered and grabbed Jolly’s backpack, fishing out a protein bar.

    Summary

    Shane ran with a fury – channeling every ounce of shame, anger, hurt, and disdain he possessed. He ran with a purpose: to catalogue every misstep and maintain his stamina.

    Each time he replayed the interaction or thought of Ilya alone again in his cottage, he bit down harder on his lip and ran faster, feet slamming against the trail.

    A guttural cry pierced the air as Shane fell to the ground, the dense dirt leaving burn marks on the skin of his elbows. For one terrifying second, his vision went white, his lungs forgot how to expand, and he lay motionless, face pressed into the earth.

    He thought of the fight he’d had with Ilya, his own voice echoing in his head: “This is who I am. You know that. I give everything I have to hockey.”

    He was Shane Hollander: the best player in the MLH; he was fine, he told himself – he didn't need Ilya.

    It was a lie.

    Summary

    (can be read fandom blind)

    Voldo has spent the last twenty years of his life alone, guarding the Money Pit, with nothing but the rats, intruders, and all-too-real memory of Vercci, his master.

    Larva is a long-suffering student of the former phantom thief, Pantalone. Wearing the mask that both fails and succeeds in repressing memories, she haunts Venezia(Venice) doing Pantalone's dirty work, waiting for the day he deems her worthy at last of a title, even as he keeps preferring his other students over her.

    But when Cervantes de Leon raids the Money Pit, he kidnaps Voldo, as if the pale guardian is another treasure, and sells him to another master; a freak show ringmaster, who sees the strange Voldo as the perfect freak.

    Then, Larva, hunting for Soul Edge on orders of her master, saves Voldo in a moment of uncharacteristic kindness. They both soon realize that they are seeking Cervantes de Leon, and the Soul Edge he wields, and thus journey together.

    But what horrors and beauties lie in behind the masks they wear?

    (A retelling of Soul Blade, featuring an OC and heavy focus on Voldo, disability, asexuality, gender nonconformity, and neurodiversity.)

    Summary

    Leon has become a master of the slow fade, a ghost haunting his own life until there’s nothing left but the sharp scent of whiskey and the hollow echoes of a man who stopped caring months ago. He exists in the spaces between memories he'd rather forget, pulling the shadows around him like a second skin.

    Chris is the only one who refuses to let him vanish. Armed with a stubborn, quiet persistence and a refusal to look away, he remains the sole anchor in Leon’s drifting world. In the suffocating stillness of what remains, they are forced to navigate the blurred lines of a bond that is as much a lifeline as it is a burden.

    A study of the fine line between saving a man and breaking him further, navigating an intimacy neither was ever trained to handle.

    Summary

    Loid knew he was constantly under threats, the thought simply didn’t phase him anymore. But, one threat in particular seemed to control him more than he thought.

    He’d heard of the skilled Assassin of Ostania “Thorn Princess”, the way her killings were something an average spy deeply feared.

    He never feared her work, he merely scoffed at the thought of an assassin ever finding him.

    He bit his tongue when he found out that the same threat he had dismissed had in-fact been living under the same roof as him for the past year.

    Summary

    “I’m jealous.” It escapes before she can let herself back out, “That my sister has a sex life, and I don’t.”

    She doesn’t know why she’s admitting that to him. She honestly doesn’t. It’s embarrassing.

    “Right there with you.” His voice is low, “How long–?”

    She chews at the bottom of her lip, doing the mental math, “Three years…You?”

    “Thirteen months.”

    Warmth pools in between her legs, and she clutches his hand like it’s a lifeline.

    It’s barely a whisper, she’s so afraid to say it,

    “Close the trunk.”

    ---

    “Wait, holy shit, King–” The wand stills inside of her as Trinity freezes the frame.

    “What?” She asks, “God, it didn’t nick something, did it? I’m not about to bleed to death?”

    “No, but you might pass out.” Trinity answers, “Maybe?”

    “What is it?” She tries to sit up, but Trinity’s already turning the ultrasound monitor around to show her.

    Her heart stills as she takes in the tiny flickering heartbeat on the screen in front of her, “Oh–”
