Summary
“Rozanov, what the fuck have you gotten me into?” Shane whispered, fists flexing again.
“No names here,” Rozanov said, and then his smirk got wider, a perfect accent to his devil mask. “No real names. Call me Lily.”
“Absolutely fucking not,” Shane said. “Asshole, maybe.”
Shane likes playing games with rules. He knows how to play to win. He will be good, no matter what it costs him.

Bookmarker's Notes
I thought this would be fluff. Instead it is an exploration of the boxes athletes are forced to be in, the pressures of the closet, and the ugly behind the scenes aspects of reality TV (including the poverty wages many of the staff are on and the things they do to create the appearance of success). It was surprisingly tense and suspenseful and 100% stuck the landing. (Also, it’s very hot!)

Summary
12-year-old Shane Hollander is forced to make a friend on doctor's orders, and has feelings about it. Which feelings, you ask? ALL OF THEM.
In the same universe / continuity as "storm has set the heavens scowling", by qqueenofhades. Does NOT require familiarity with Shadow and Bone -- I simply imported my OTHER favorite sadboi from it.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is one of those AUs that should be canon. Shane makes a friend as a kid, and then is the instrument of his own destruction, and then years later they rebuild. Child!Shane feels SO VERY REAL in the first chapter; it's probably the best-written take on Shane as a kid I've ever read, hands down. The second chapter is hilarious, sad, and wonderful by turns. The author is amazing at writing side characters that have five lines, and yet feel like fully realized people. You absolutely do not need to know Shadow and Bone or read the story this is spun off of to enjoy chapters 1 and 2 of this (the other fic is definitely necessary for Chapter 3).

Summary
Jaw Man flicked his middle finger up at Ilya, who didn’t seem to mind, and gestured towards Shane and Hayden with raised eyebrows. “The f*** are you even doing right now, man.”
Ilya said briefly, “Orgy.”
“Uh,” said Shane, “no, that’s not—”
Ilya grinned at him. It was a mean-edged grin but something about it seemed to suggest that he was joking with Shane, rather than about him. “Oh, he speaks.”
“We’re not here for an orgy,” Shane said to Jaw Man. “We’re missionaries with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”

Bookmarker's Notes
Wonderful and devastating. It has hilarious moments but also thoughtfully considers what it would be like to come to terms with your sexuality when religion is this deeply interwoven into your life. The points where characters miscommunicate are thoughtfully and perfectly done. Shane is an unreliable narrator, and the author has written this well enough that you can catch glimpses of Ilya's point of view through Shane's fog. This will break your heart and then put it back together.

Summary
“You don’t mind, do you?” Shane asked, before he could stop himself.
Ilya looked at him like he’d said something stupid. Shane cringed. “No, it is good for me,” Ilya said, his lip curling up. “Healthy competition.”After Sochi, Shane starts sleeping with another man. After Vegas, he picks back up with Ilya, too.

This story left me breathless. Really interesting exploration of a different path for Shane. Pairing Shane with someone very different highlights different facets of Shane's personality. (Still with a happy ending!)
