This is not a complete list of everything I have ever created (some things should stay buried forever), but spotlights a few favourites from the last years in both Harry Potter and Heated Rivalry fandom.
Anything over 1k will be posted to AO3 directly, but ficlets usually get posted to Tumblr first and only make it to AO3 when I remember to port them over.
You can subscribe to my AO3 account or here on Tumblr to the acari writes tag to get alerted to any updates.
I also post a lot of recs. You can find the masterlist here.
Blanket Permission Statement:
I give blanket permission for translations, fanart, podfics, remixes or any other type of fanwork that builds on anything I have created. Two caveats: no commercial use whatsoever (no ads, patreon, kofi, commercial ficbinding etc.); and absolutely no AI, handmade only. Please link back to the original work and give proper credit. Thank you.
And since I am part of Harry Potter fandom—and also as a general PSA—just so we're clear, JKR can fuck right off. And if you support TERF shit, you can too.

The Nuclear Option
Hollanov, (Ilya/Miles) E, 2k | tag for ep4
Ilya watches Shane leave the club with Rose. But instead of going home alone, Ilya chooses the nuclear option.
Harry Potter
Drabbles, micros, ficlets
Joint -- Pandalily, cottage core cannibal lesbians | [...] he won’t be a problem anymore.”
Give In To the Love -- Draco, dancing under strobe lights...
Saviour Complex -- explicit | Draco knew the signs, knew when Harry needed to forget himself; forget the Boy Who Lived and obligations and duty and being Chosen.
Curio -- It was Draco's first time visiting the Burrow as Harry's boyfriend, and Harry was apprehensive. Just a tiny bit. "Oh, please," Draco scoffed, "I'm a delightful guest."
When He Was Draco -- trans!Draco | When he was six years old, he stopped answering to his birth name and insisted on being called Draco instead.
Magic is Might series: Voldemort won. Everything is terrible.
Redress and Redemption | dark | The annual gala celebrating the end of the war was in full swing. Draco had gone all out for the fifth anniversary. Everybody who was anybody was gathered in the ballroom of the Manor, sipping champagne and taking turns on the dance floor. "You're being rude, dear," Draco admonished and squeezed Harry's hand, the edge of Draco's signet ring biting into Harry's skin.
Do Not Let Good Blood Go To Waste | non-con | Harry/Ginny | Ginny looked up from where she sat on the bed–white sheets, white covers, antiseptic. The corners of her mouth ticked up, but the smile did not reach her eyes, until her gaze flickered over Harry's shoulder. Draco kissed Harry's cheek. "Have fun, darling."
Love Letter -- animation | text by me + animation by @mystisblom

Your Body's Speaking My Language
Pandalily, Jegulus, E, 5k | ace vampire Regulus, lesbian vampire Pandora

Wormwood
Regulus Black, M, 14k | creepy shit
[...] and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many died from the water, because it was made bitter. (Rev 8:10–11)
or: The Life and Death of Regulus Black.
Human
Drarry, E, 28k | werewolf!Harry, cabin fic
(Official Summary) Harry isn't dealing well with being bitten and turned into a werewolf. Draco isn't dealing well with Harry packing up and leaving like a thief in the night. Things come to a head in a forest cabin in the German Ore Mountains.
An Improbable Bout of Summer Madness
Drarry, E, 16k | dad!Draco, artist!Draco, shop owner!Harry, soft boys
Draco had planned a quiet, peaceful summer holiday with his son. The last thing he expected was to find Potter here, in Draco's little Cornish retreat. Making fudge in a shop? The idea was too ludicrous for words. (In which alarming amounts of sweets are consumed, Cornwall is thoroughly explored, Scorpius is a darling boy, and Harry Potter is a horrid assault on Draco's sanity.)
The Problem of Non-Euclidean Geometry
Drarry, M, 1,2k
Two straight lines in a plane that do not intersect at any point are said to be parallel. (Or, 1.2k of angst and geometry)
Podfic
📍Still Warm, Still Warm by tsauergrass
Drarry | 38 min | bee keeping | The oranges ripened and grew heavy; the branches dipped under their weight. They picked some for breakfast every morning: Harry twisting the fruit off with a snap, Draco carefully tugging each one off. Harry peeled an orange and handed a wedge to Draco. Their fingers grazed, and Draco took it. The tender flesh; if he pressed just a little harder with his fingers, it would burst into a juicy mess. Harry is up to something. Why else would he keep giving Draco presents?
📍Nascent/Descend
Drarry | mcd | ~5min | "There was debris everywhere. The Bombarda Maxima trap had brought down half the building. Draco found himself lying face down amongst the rubble, his head ringing like a bell..."

They’re going through Yuna and David’s movie collection when Ilya comes across a VHS with ‘Shane - Bell Center 1994’ written on the sleeve and insists they watch it.
Shane, on the other hand, is not super into the idea.
“My parents don’t have a VHS player.”
“Is literally right beside your knee, Hollander.”
“Well, it’s boring! Why do you want to see a dumb recording of me as a kid anyway?”
“Because it’s adorable?” Ilya says incredulously. “And you are adorable?”
“Oh, I forgot we had that!” Yuna exclaims, coming to sit on the couch with her glass of wine. “God, I miss those days. Shane was the cutest timbit.”
Timbit, Ilya mouths to himself, his fingers curling around the tape. This is Shane as a timbit? In all his tiny little hockey gear at the Bell Center? Ilya needs to see it. “Shane.”
Shane looks at him and sighs.
They put the tape in.
Ilya almost dies as the grainy screen resolves itself into an MC and a tiny Shane, dressed in his hockey gear. His helmet is crooked on his head, his stick tap tap tapping against it as he stares at the interviewer, determined. His cheeks are big and round and pink from the cold of the ice, and though Ilya cannot make out his freckles, he knows from pictures that they’re there. The MC crouches down and a packed Bell Center is visible behind them.
“And here we have number 24, Shane Hollander!” The MC says in heavily accented English. “Let’s give him a round of applause. Shane, how are you feeling tonight, are you excited to be here?”
“Um. Yes.”
“And how old are you, Shane?”
Little Shane closes his eyes for a moment, taking a big, deep breath before reciting: “My name is Shane Hollander and I’m a hockey player. I am three years old and I go to Glebe Co-operative Nursery School in Ottawa and my mommy and daddy are Yuna and David. And I’m three.”
The MC laughs a little. “That’s a great introduction, Shane, thank you. Do you have anyone here with you tonight, cheering you on in the audience?”
Shane’s eyes open, but he doesn’t break out into a toothy grin. No, instead, Shane—serious, no-nonsense Shane—nods and leans in to the microphone like he’s giving a post-game interview. “Yes, my mommy and my daddy.”
“And are they big Metros fans?”
“Yes.”
“What about you?”
“Yes, too. They’re gonna go all the way this year. They have all the pieces for a winning team.”
“That’s what we love to hear, Shane, we agree and we love the confidence. Can we expect to see you on the ice someday? Do you want to be a hockey player when you grow up?”
“Yes, I’m a hockey player.”
“Do you want to play for Montreal?”
“Yes.”
“Can we get some encouragement for the team from you, Shane? Maybe a Go Metros Go?”
This, Shane takes extremely seriously. Ilya watches him nod with all the solemnity of a general going to war, and then releases his own tiny, passionate battle cry: “Go Metros Go!”
“Shane Hollander, everyone, let’s give him another round of applause!”
Ilya watches Shane stick out his little hand and the MC laugh a little as he shakes it, before tiny Shane toddles back to his parents on his skates. The mic picks up, Mommy can I skate again nowww? before the tape stops.
Ilya is going to fucking die. He already feels as if his heart is too big for his body, his fingers pressing into his knees to keep from grabbing Shane and doing—something to him. Kissing him or hugging him or fucking. Eating him. Consuming him. Crawling inside of him.
Shane is curled up beside the couch with his hands covering his face in embarrassment and Ilya is sitting less than a meter from him, dying of retroactive cuteness.
“You were so pissed when we told you that your turn to skate was done,” Yuna murmurs fondly. “Full meltdown.”
“Yeah, I remember,” Shane mutters, shaking his head in his hands. “JP made fun of me.”
Yuna scoffs. “JP was copying his parents, because they were pissed that you were better than him. And that we were out of towners but got the interview.” She raises a brow. “And now look: you’re a professional hockey player and JP is probably working at some office back in Trois Rivières and hates his life.”
“Mom, seriously?”
“What?” Yuna asks, getting up and heading towards the kitchen. “His parents were assholes. They made an asshole. I won’t apologize for that.”
Ilya takes the opportunity to crawl closer, slinging an arm around Shane’s back. He presses one kiss, then two, then three to Shane’s cheek. “Shane,” he breathes.
“Mm?”
“You were cutest fucking tiny hockey player in the entire world.”
Ilya feels Shane’s blush against his mouth. He kisses it again. “Fuck off,” Shane mutters, cuddling into him. He turns to press a soft, barely there kind of kiss to the corner of Ilya’s lips, burying his pink, hot face into his neck. “I was too serious. They called me a robot and did that stupid dance at me.”
“Well, they’re idiots. Hockey is serious, so you are serious, and they were probably ugly.”
“Ilya,” Shane laughs. Ilya feels his huffed breath in the juncture of his own neck and grins, thumb moving up to caress the small hairs at his nape.
They’re still too far away.
Ilya shifts, immediately attacking Shane’s face with kisses the minute he becomes visible. Shane laughs, shrieks, says stop even as he pulls Ilya closer, until they’ve toppled over onto the carpet.
Shane pulls back to look him in the eye, chewing his lip. “I think my parents still have some camcorder home videos of me.”
I've said it before and I'll say it again. We need a "This is absolutely NOT mature content" feedback button on posts. You can report a post as missing a community label. We should also be able to report posts as having a community label when they dont fucking need one.
in love with ilya's facial expression when he's disagreeing with the timeline because he's looking at YUNA when he starts talking like
"no, no, he is wrong. one second. let me get him together. i can't believe he is embarassing me like this in front of my future mother-in-law. please hold."

It's AAPI month😆😆 so i wanna throw in my two cents and just talk about THIS pic
it's SUCH a simple picture, but this picture means SO MUCH to me as an asian american🥺 why, u may ask? well we know this pic was taken when connor was visiting hudson in Vancouver, and we've had connor say that hudson has introduced him to new kinds of food, and this must be one of the dishes that hudson has introduced to connor🥺🥺
the dish shown here is called Malatang (麻辣燙), its a chinese dish where u throw in various kinds of protein and veggies and make it into a soup! (it's really good if y'all havent tried it🙂↕️)
anyway, this pic means so much to me bc it shows hudson introducing a new type of cuisine to connor, who probs never had this dish before, and connor, being the LOVELY human he is, is open minded to trying new things🥹🥹🥹 i just love love love when asian culture is shared🥺 it warms my heart so much❤️
i've always had the belief that if u stay open minded and learn more about ppl's cultures, it can eventually lead us to start respecting and loving one another🥺 (tho ik these days not many ppl wanna be open minded smh), but i always love it when ppl r willing to learn, which is why i always take it into my own hands to learn about other's cultures, it's simply fascinating to me and it gives me a much better understanding of the world🙂↕️
sorry, went on a bit of a tangent here, but overall, this pic may be simple, but i think it represents a thousand words: hudson sharing asian culture w his loved one and connor being open minded and trying new things, UGH, i love brilliant minded ppl😩🫶🙌
Assorted free-range headcanons about Hollanov at 45-55 years old:
Shane starts getting grays at 35, so by 45 he is a salt-and-pepper kING. It makes for a distinguished photograph on his memoir. He has a ghostwriter, obviously, how do you expect him to just sit and write all day? He writes the chapter about his and Ilya's rivalry though, only at the end of the chapter is he like "And we were married in the summer of 2021 with a honeymoon in Spain. He's the best person I know." after just a dry comparison of all their stats Pre-Centaurs.
One child. Boychild. Shane's genes and a Russian name. Conceived via surrogacy after Ilya retires first due to busted ass knee syndrome. Child enjoys hockey. Not great at it. Looooves playing the oboe in school band. Shane checks it out and AS IT TURNS OUT the oboe is a difficult, competitive instrument. They proceed with characteristic intensity, as if this was athletics. Son, you're gonna win at the oboe.
Ilya needs glasses. He just steals Shane's off his face and it's a whole ritual that ends in them kissing. Boychild is mortified every time they're trying to read a take-out menu.
Shane gets into hockey commentary/podcasting and is notoriously. Um. Not Nice. A lot of "What?? What did I say??" It's never personal though. Just about players' shitty game.
Ilya is Big. Chunky. He's glorious. Muscle that now has fat over it. Arms like tree trunks. Torso: round. 100% Naturalized Canadian Citizen Beef. Hair, everywhere. Shane must BITE to check it all out and make sure everything is in order.
Shane gets really into individual athletics- rock climbing, marathons before he also gets busted ass knee syndrome, biking, swimming, anything where it's like testing the limits of his body against himself. Ilya is like a "fifty push-ups every day keeps me in shape enough to fuck you right" kind of guy, but he joins in sometimes just to make Shane get furious with competition
New rookie/juniors player billeting every year once boychild goes to music conservatory so they build a whole separate wing for the youngsters so it doesn't interfere with empty-nest fucking
Once they hit 50 they do get up stupid early like old men do and have old man coffee shop time with David Hollander (professional boring old man) at their favorite diner. Shane really cherishes this time with his dad and makes it a point to do it as often as they can. Conversely, they build Yuna a mother in law house when David passes away (death comes for us all) and she becomes crazy hockey mom to all their rookies.
there's a theragun in every room of the house and trying to unfuck their various Busted Ass Issues becomes just another step in sex prep
Shane is terrorising the local birdwatching community
Ilya is personally if inadvertently responsible for at least four divorces among his kid's schoolmate's parents
every time they attend a Centaurs game they end up on kiss cam (which isn't even a THING Shane is convinced they do this just to fuck with him) and they always pretend to be reluctant and roll their eyes and oh, fine, if you insist *smooch* *deafening cheers*
they're not really famous anymore anywhere EXCEPT Ottawa, where they're very famous but everybody's kind of agreed to be chill about it and also now that they ACTUALLY have time to spare they're just like, doing stuff. so you get an excited insta post from somebody new in town like omg i think i just saw shane hollander at tim horton's??? and the comments are all "dude obviously he always gets a coffee and a box of timbits thursday afternoon, where else would he be"
Dot I admit I was trying to summon you with this lmaooo
The Theragun in every room is everything. I'm also obsessed with routine man Shane but instead of like training and conditioning it's going to get timbits on Thursday afternoons lmao
i knooooow ilya was the sweetest gentlest shyest little boy who was scared of the dark and listened to his teachers and coaches and loved sprinkles and his stuffed bear and singing in church and was very very good
and then i also know shane did NOT grasp "no hitting when you're mad" until at least age 9 and threw crazy flailing tantrums and was a biter and had to be on a leash for a long while because he would run and then hide in the fucking walls and yuna would be in the department store after closing at 10pm being like shane for the love of god for the love of GOD
My Heated Rivalry journey continues. All recs are Hollanov, including one Wyatt/Lisa fic. ❤️ denotes favourites.
💠 earlier Hollonov recs | acari recs masterlist
🔸️a wolf in a birdcage by bannerthyme (M, 15k)
When Ilya Rozanov moved to Ottawa to be closer to Shane, he thought he'd made the right decision. Instead, he finds himself in a prison of his own making, desperate to make his cage feel like a home, and convinced that he can solve every issue in his life with a new coat of paint.
Unfortunately, nobody around him seems to agree.
The paint eating fic. Ilya is having a bad mental health episode. This one hurts.
🔸️Adjustments by sheepknitssweater (E, 3k)
Shane had been sucking Rozanov’s mostly soft dick for between six and eight minutes. Since all the most important moments of Shane’s life were timed, he had a good internal clock. He was pretty sure it had been eight minutes.
I love precise, concise language. This fic packs a punch in very few words as far as characterisation goes.
🔸️black dog by delagauchetiere (E, 68k)
Ilya is not going to steal Shane Hollander's dog. That would be illegal. And wrong. And someone would probably find out and make Ilya give him back.
So. Not stealing.
But there is nothing wrong with giving Chernysh all the pats and treats that he deserves, is there?
Nothing wrong with encouraging Chernysh to spend more and more time at Ilya's house until he doesn't even remember who Hollander is.
Because Hollander is stupid and boring and does not deserve a dog as good as Chernysh. No, he doesn't, does he? Because Chernysh is the best boy in the whole world, yes he is.
This is so comforting and sweet.
🔸️Clean Sweep by YankingAwry (E, 29k)
Shane’s brain cycled rapidly through a half-dozen celebrities, porn actors, Grindr profiles, every attractive bartender who’d ever served him a beer, trying to find a comparison for this level of outrageously concentrated beauty in one person, but he was drawing a blank.
The man—Ilya Rozanov, Facilities Attendant, his badge read—gestured around the supply closet. “I help you find something?”
--
Canon-divergent AU set during the 2017-18 MLH season. Shane Hollander doesn’t have a single Cup to his name when he meets a very hot and very annoying janitor who works at the Metros stadium.
This fic contains probably the sentence of all time: Time, like Shane’s cock, spasmed.
🔸️mirage by ann_sable/ @sablesaysann (M, 8k)
Ilya discovers that he can control time. Now he's on a quest to prevent his mother's suicide.
Enter Shane Hollander.
Enter Shane Hollander.
Enter Shane Hollander.
I usually strongly dislike time travel fics, but something about this tickled me.
🔸️(Oh I believe in) Yesterday by queengoose (Lisa/Wyatt, T, 9k)
Time loops are just a fact of life to Wyatt, insane as that sounds. He’ll happily settle in for a repeat day every couple of weeks. Chances are he’ll wake up tomorrow morning and go to regularly scheduled practice. A teammate probably pissed off their wife, which is an easily fixed problem.
Or, the Wyatt-Hayes-centric-time-loop-Boxing-Day-fight-fix-it-fic
Wyatt gets time looped thanks to Ilya & Shane's TLG Boxing Day fight. I love Wyatt & Lisa's relationship in this. I read time loop fic, and I liked it (gasp schock).
🔸️the one hand rim-rocker by tedyexe (E, 9k)
At some point their relationship got fucked up enough that Ilya helps wax Shane’s pubes when they’re in town together, instead of doing normal couple things like watching Iron Chef or having brunch. Ilya thinks it started happening around, after the time he had to beg Shane not to bleach his asshole but before they both started peeing while taking showers together. “I just want a clean slate,” he tells Ilya very seriously, but they come to a compromise that he should keep something short and trimmed above his dick. Ilya, on the other hand, is under strict instruction to never touch any of his pubic hair, lest Shane have nothing to hold on to when he’s working the head with the back of his throat, so it’s kind of a shock when he says, “We should wax your ass too.”
Or: Ilya Rozanov gets fisted.
This is the best kind of PWP, the one used for character exploration.
❤️ progression by conturbat_me/ @yield-to-the-night (T, 38k, WIP)
Yuna doesn't like him.
Such a great character exploration piece as Yuna & David take the long way around towards warming up to Ilya. It's painful at times, heartwarming at others, but it all rings very true.
🔸️Ripe by saltandbyrne (E, 22k)
Ilya spits, and Ilya swallows.
If you enjoy the thought of worn jockstraps and Shane being good for Ilya, this fic is for you. This is so fucking horny and messy and full-bodied.
🔸️show me how to be whole again by @rozanohwell (E, 48k, WIP)
“They tell me he is learning to walk again,” a shirtless Rozanov says to the semi-circle of microphones in front of him, hands on his hips, still damp and flushed and riding that victory high. “Is good news, but little children can walk. I am interested when he will learn to skate again.”
After suffering a career-ending injury, Shane Hollander is struggling to connect with the world. Ilya Rozanov is more than happy to help in the only way he knows.
This one hurts. We're watching Shane painstakingly try to claw his way back onto the ice. The characterisation in this is so good, especially Ilya's less than stellar reaction to Shane shutting him out is something I don't see nearly often enough.

"Newbie stans who only got into fandom during the pandemic feel so comfortable publicly criticizing fanfic, it didn't use to be like this :(("
Idk what fandom communities y'all were hanging around in back in the day but when I first got online, there really wasn't this culture of "If you don't have something nice to say, say nothing at all". Negative criticism was normal! It was common! It was even considered bad form by some to leave a comment with only praise! I remember writing comments where I apologized for having only good things to say. Complaining about "flames" (=negative comments) was seen as immature and, often, an invitation to be even more harshly criticized. Like, the most you could ask for was for criticism to be "constructive", if you asked for only positive things, you would be seen as a whiny crybaby.
And that's just the comment section. Fandom at large definitely didn't think we should all be nice to each other. There were multiple LJ/JF communities dedicated to making fun of "bad" fanfic, and these weren't run by kiwifarm-types looking in, but by fellow fans! Fellow fanfic authors! People would collect funny or awkward quotes from fanfic to laugh at, post them with links, and even make graphics and icons to make fun of them.
And the MST3Ks! Remember that? Remember how there were LJ communities where people would post someone else's fanfic and then go through it sentence-by-sentence specifically to make fun of it?
It's the pan-fandom pushback against this behaviour that's new. Its nice, don't get me wrong, I do prefer this general atmosphere, but there aren't "good old" fandom days where this was universal.
random PSA, I know a lot of people use duckduckgo as a Google alternative search engine, but it always kind of annoyed me when I was using it because it felt like No Name Brand Google
I have switched to using Startpage.com and vastly prefer it. for one thing, instead of displaying an "AI summary" at the top of the search results (unless you turn it off, yes I know), it displays the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article, with link, whenever it finds one that's relevant.
also a waaayyyyy better sense of design than duckduckgo
also private, European based, least annoying search I've used lately (RIP old "don't be evil" Google)
i have one of those, scraped from multiple different rec posts:
Search Engines
Infinity Search is an alternative search engine with a special focus on privacy
