Summary
@2481agenda: guyzzzz. why is shane fukin hollander the only metro who can pronounce maxim tsyplakov's name correctly?????
@icingonthecake: stan twitter so RPF-poisoned the team captain of an MHL team making the effort to get his rookies' names right is somehow H*ll*n*v coded.
*
Twitter has a lot to say after Scott Hunter's big moment. Fully formatted. Maybe the real Hollanov was the friends we made along the way.

Summary
After inadvertantly bearing witness to a dick pic from "Lily", Hayden goes so hard as an ally that he circles right back around to homophobia.
Now that Hayden Pike — pure of heart, dumb of ass — has that missing piece, everything makes sense. Of course Shane's cagey about his trans girlfriend. Hayden is so stupid.

Summary
ok my girls, gays and nonbinarrays, its time to talk about the hollander accent
no, this isn't about how shane hollander speaks french like he learned it at gunpoint from an angry parisian witch. in fact, this isn't about how shane hollander speaks at all. this is about how his """rival""" ilya rozanov (aka the hot shirtless russian on everyone's dash) has a handful of english words he pronounces THE EXACT SAME WRONG WAY AS SHANE HOLLANDER

Intervention by imperfectcircle for such_heights

Summary
"Not because he is gay," Ilya says as if to a child. "Because Scott Hunter is seven million years old. It's not right. He should not be with someone so young."
Shane throws him a tiny, perfect smirk. "When Scott Hunter was his age, he wasn't even born."
"Exactly! You get it, Hollander," Ilya says, using the excuse to throw an arm around Shane's shoulders. "We must stage intervention. Cannot let nice young man be cradle-snatched."

I'll Make It Better by imperfectcircle, kenopsia (indie) for Sonni89

Summary
"Ilya," Shane says, voice lilting and Ilya might fucking cry.
"Hey," Ilya says, magnetized and moving towards him. Shane looks — soft, he looks fine, so fucking breakable but not broken.
"There's my man," Shane says, in a small voice, musical. Ilya closes the distance between them, needing to touch him and needing him to lower his voice in equal measure.

25 Feb 2025
Summary
Stories where the jokes are the point. I think they're better if you have at least some familiarity with the canon.
Probably the best story here is “A Good Dog in a Dark Place” (Yuletide mini-fandom: Vitamin Water ad), but my favourite is "And Other Animals" (Hitchhiker's Guide).

16 Sep 2023
Summary
Stories where the romantic relationship(s) are the central focus, and the plot is secondary or non-existent. I think most of these are pretty accessible even if you don't know the canon.
Probably the best story here is either "Between the shores of your souls" (Rogue One) or “be yourself my ally” (Wonder Woman), but my favourite is "Balance, Falling" (original).

Crossovers! Some are Discworld fusions, some are excuses for characters from different canons to hook up, some are both.
I'm having a hard time picking a best or a favourite -- just pick anything from 2007 onwards where you recognise the fandoms.

something you can fix by some1_around
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
27 Dec 2025

Summary
Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.
And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.
Just once. Just a single nod.
Why did he have to nod?
“Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”
“Of course.”
Of course.
“Was it better?”
“Yes.”
+++
Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.
