Summary
Then the new gaffer calls his name from the door of the office, and it’s just fear and dread flooding in. Colin nods goodbye to Isaac, pulls his bag on, and heads over, relieved to be away from that conversation, but anxious. He hasn’t had a one-on-one with Coach Lasso yet.
Lasso’s smiling. He usually is, but it’s weird he’s doing that when Colin was so shit all training. That’s obviously why he’s been called over.
Or, Colin's journey through hate, shame and fear to love, forgiveness, and acceptance.

The Squiring of Alla Stone by OldShrewsburyian for Ambitious
Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin
31 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Alla didn’t see why the Lady Brienne had to get married. She could have named an heir: lots of old lords did it, especially in these days, after the war and the winter. It seemed such a waste of her magnificent, solitary rightness. And it seemed such a risk. This side of things had not occurred to Alla until the Lady Brienne had been brought to bed the preceding year, and her mother had shaken her head over the laundry and said that no woman should have to know both the battlefield and the birthing bed. Alla also didn’t see why the Lady Brienne had to marry him. She’d seen him, when the Lady Brienne brought him home to Tarth. She’d watched him since, training some of the older squires. She didn’t see why her lady would bind herself to a grim, greying man trailing legends of murder behind him.

“How do you feel about art?”
I blink at my reflection in the rear view mirror. “Art?”
“There’s an exhibition on in Brixton that I think you’re going to find very interesting,” Guleed answers, and that same someone sniggers in the background again. “Eight o’clock? I’ll text you the address.”

Summary
No one is going to win a Pulitzer interviewing him, and Shane is okay with that. He spends most interviews rephrasing the same five sentiments--I’m happy we won or We need to work harder after that loss.
They are a good team; the win was hard fought or They are a good team; there is a lot for us to take away.
And finally: I love playing on this team, for our fans.
Then Ilya Rozanov bursts into his life, and answering questions becomes a little more complicated.
or: Shane Hollander, interviewee, throughout the years.

Summary
Shane’s heart drops into his stomach. “Ilya,” he breathes. His vision goes blurry, throat tight. He tries to swallow it down and focus, shove his swirling thoughts into a neat little box, but it’s impossible. He feels—he might throw up, actually. “Are you seriously telling me you tried to fucking kill yourself?”
“Yes,” Ilya agrees blandly, “It did not work.”
Ilya calls Shane from the hospital. Shane handles it very normally.

“Where is he?”
“Where is who?” Greg asked, already feeling a headache gathering in his temples.
She glanced at him. “You know who.”
He did, but that wasn’t the point. “He has a name, Mum,” he said patiently, or at least, with as much patience as he could muster. "He's with his family."
"Because it's Christmas."

Summary
Hayden just looked at him for a few moments. He never quite felt like he could fully get a read on him. And then, he had a thought. Shane might punch him in the face, but he had a feeling... “Okay, then. Maybe you’re meeting someone else?” He kept his voice as level as possible, not wanting to spook him. Whatever weird quirks Shane may have had, Hayden still loved the kid. “Maybe... a guy?”
Hayden starts to realize some things about Shane, but he never could have predicted that his secret Boston hookup was... Ilya Rozanov?

Summary
“I don’t want to look at you right now.” Ilya’s voice is raw but firm. “I don’t want to talk to you. Go home.” Leaving the towel bunched up on the counter, he tries to leave.
No fucking way. Shane steps into his path and stops him. There is no way he’s letting Ilya walk away like that. And why the fuck is Ilya the one who is upset? He’s the one who brought up that stupid party in the first place. And he’s the one who can’t answer one fucking question.
“Would you choose me?”
Shane discovers how tired Ilya is of hiding and how much it hurts him that no one knows. Shane also discovers that he’s the asshole in this scenario and decides to change that, fuck the consequences. He can panic about it another day.
