    Summary

    My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.

    “Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”

    Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”

    “Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”

    -----

    AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!

    The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander volunteered for a firefighter training exercise because it got him a paid day away from spreadsheets.
    He didn't expect to be handed a casualty card.
    He definitely didn't expect to be effortlessly scooped up by firefighter Ilya Rozanov.

    Now Shane can't stop thinking about the handsome rescue specialist with impossible blue eyes, while Ilya can't seem to stop finding reasons to rescue the same volunteer over and over again.

    Turns out asking someone for their number is a lot scarier than running into a burning building.

    Summary

    Contrary to popular belief, Witchers weren't heartless monsters. They still had their emotions, no matter how hard rumors tried to say otherwise. They were muted, yes, but were very much still there. They still felt joy, anger, hope, frustration, guilt.
    Geralt had been feeling quite a lot of guilt as of late.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander expected a lot out of the combine before the 2009 NHL draft: meeting the competition, impressing possible future teams and ultimately securing his spot in the NHL.

    What he didn't expect was 50 questions that were about to change his whole damn life.

    Or: How an autism diagnosis, a therapist and something magical called communication rebuild the whole trajectory of the Hollander/Rozanov saga bit by bit.

    Summary

    The world is full of monsters. Fortunately, eighty-five percent of them are frauds, bad forensics, corruption, or people weaponizing superstition.

    The remaining fifteen percent are why the Red-Files Initiative exists.

    Operating under the authority of Interpol’s Executive Directorate, the Red-Files sort transnational anomalies into one critical question: Blue, Red, or something in between. Ritual murders. Impossible crime scenes. Smugglers hiding behind folklore. Predators protected by bureaucratic failure. Their job is not to believe in monsters. Their job is to classify them.

    Because truth is in the evidence.

    These are their stories.

    Summary

    "Figarland Shamrock is a Holy Knight. An enemy of everything we stood for, everything we fought against. He cannot be allowed to simply walk away freely."

    "Oh?" Shanks' haki thrummed in the air, honed solely on the talking Revolutionary. Beads of sweat started building at his temples as his body trembled. Shanks could see Luffy's brother looking almost intrigued at him from another chair, Dragon continuing to remain silent.

    "Quite amusing that the Revolutionary Army would think to start giving orders, especially after we took down another rule doing the same thing just days ago." The level of his haki increased, Sabo making a half-aborted step to move to the swaying Revolutionary. "Especially trying to give orders to an Emperor."

    Vegapunk's last devil fruit was never supposed to be used in the war. When its powers catch the twins in the blast radius, Shanks claims his brother before the dust even settled. The bond is the easy part. Keeping a Holy Knight alive in a world that wants him dead - that's where it gets complicated. Especially since the devil fruit effects seem to be asking for something more.

    Summary

    Give four elite investigators the same case in Prague and somehow end up with four completely different crimes.

    Tony sees tactical movement.
    Spencer sees a fractured profile.
    Rowan sees corrupted infrastructure.
    Ron sees a city screaming through its tram lines.

    Unfortunately for everyone involved, Prague does not care about investigative lanes.

    Charles Bridge folds into a violet haze of dead radios, drifting GPS signals, and collapsing surveillance continuity while the suspects move through the center of the chaos like they’re following a timetable. Tourists call it “Prague Lag.” The locals call it Tuesday.

    In Prague, the city itself becomes the blind spot, and the fastest way to lose the game is to divide the system you’re trying to understand.

    Summary

    Luke understood then that what he did now was about more than just a simple spar. His continued presence among them had been good, but not enough.

     

    He was not with other Jedi now, able to understand each other with a thought. And the whispered words shared alone in hyperspace, or in the kitchen over meals, or murmured to each other over pillows, would never be known to Din’s people.

     

    If he’d learned anything about them after all this time, it was that what they saw, what impressed them, was action.

     

    Or: Luke attends a Mandalorian celebration, and participates in true Mandalorian style.

    Summary

    Ilya's heart stuttered at the last clip. A video of hands toasting beer bottles. The camera rose and panned the hotel bar, swinging to Harris’s boyfriend and…Shane Hollander. Shane Hollander, in the same light blue shirt that Ilya had seen dashing around a street corner a few hours ago. Shane Hollander, a little rumpled, adorably jet-lagged, drinking at a hotel bar that Harris had conveniently tagged. Ilya knew, he just knew what he'd find when he clicked on the location. The back of his neck was buzzing, a bizarre intuition thrumming in him.

    The location opened, and Ilya had to bite back a laugh. Shane Hollander was in Hanoi, only a few minutes away from him.

    ***
    AU Shane produces a travel show hosted by Rose. When the crew touches down in Hanoi, they cross paths with a pair of travel influencers that Shane would prefer to never see again.

    Summary

    Flying down the ice, Ilya takes the puck around the back of the net and backhands it towards the farthest corner of the top shelf of the Metros net. It’s a nearly impossible shot, especially at this speed, but Ilya’s executed it perfectly. Surely not even Hollander could-

    Hollander’s glove whips out at a blinding speed and snags the puck out of the air, and Ilya snarls, hissed Russian profanity spitting between his clenched teeth.

    The score is only 1-0 in favor of the Metros. But that single goal might as well be worth 10 with how impossible it feels to match. All they need is one goal. One.

    But it seems like Hollander isn’t going to let them have it.

    A Shane Hollander Goalie AU, inspired by a post I saw on Tumblr.

    Summary

    With the confirmation that Mr. Hollander is attending, Ilya absolutely will follow. Even if only for a few hours, they’ll occupy the same space, the same room, maybe even talk together, laugh at jokes. Of course Ilya will attend the gala, but he can’t be too excited, lest Mr. Hollander smells his callowness through the phone, so he settles for a meek: “Maybe.”

    Galas generally disinterest Ilya. Every rule, however, has its exception; after all, how could he turn down an invitation to an event he knows Mr. Hollander will be at?

    Summary

    Shane was gay. That was the entire point of this whole thing. He was a man who loved another man. And he was a man

    He was a professional athlete, nearly six feet tall, just about 200 pounds. But for every single thing about him that he felt like served to qualify him as a man, it was like Ilya had somehow turned the dial up to eleven. 

    And Shane loved it. 

    or, five times that Shane is overwhelmed by his husband's masculinity and one time that Ilya realizes he is not the man of the house.

    Summary

    “And why is a Russian prince inviting me to his matchmaking party? Do they need gentry chaperones or something?”

    “No, no, and it’s not a party, it’s a whole series of affairs, it’s…Shane, you’re invited as a candidate. A marriage candidate.”

    Shane pulls the phone away to make sure the line’s still connected and he hasn’t accidentally started watching Downton Abbey or something.

    Prince Ilya Grigoryevich Rozanov meets Shane Hollander, Duke of Montreal.

    Summary

    Harry Potter had survived war, propaganda, and being turned into a symbol.

    He had no interest in repeating those beats.

    Los Angeles offered something different; anonymity, mystery, escape.

    As his history crops up again, Harry is reminded that walking away doesn’t protect you and it doesn't stop things from happening.

    It just changes where you’re standing when they do.

    Summary

    “Captain- I- I don’t know, if I can do it all over again,” Shanks confessed, voice breaking.

    “Of course you can, kid,” Roger said, an easy grin stretching across his face, his large hand clasping comfortingly on Shanks’ small shoulder. “And who said anything about ‘doing it all over again’? You didn’t spend your first life worrying about the ending did you?”

    “Course not!” Shanks said, affronted.

    “Then why would you this time? Don’t think of it as a do over, this is still your life Shanks! So keep living your life without regrets- and if you do have past regrets- Well,” Roger shrugged, throwing a wink at him before glancing at the waves with a conspiratorial smile. “Here’s your chance to fix them.”

    Or Shanks travels back in time, from the end to the beginning and oh so many years in between.

    Or the Shanks being BAMF as he saves the world time travel fic we all deserve.
