i've been in the stranger things fandom since '22! i'm a long-time steddie shipper (read: diehard) (you don't understand. i'm insane about them.) and a big lover of ronance, buckingham, el(u)max, henderhop, byler, and so many rarepairs that it's not even funny.
recently, i laid my monofandom years to rest and got into the dc fandom (batfam...batboys...okay, jason todd.) (what can i say? i am predictable) and this year i've been on a tma and heated rivalry kick!
[ update: my best friend has gotten me into hannibal and i'm a total freak about it. ]
in the words of kristen stewart, I'm like so gay (sapphic aegorose here, how d'you do?)...mostly for @petrifiedlark, my qpr/zucchini and partner in crime. (and maya hawke) (and my harem) (we don't talk about the harem.)
I am always open to meeting new moots and interacting with new people! drop in my inbox! come say hi!

everyone has a ship thats just: theyre perfect. they hate each other. theyre married. they havent spoken in 15 years. they have date nights three times a week. theyre divorced. theyre pining, its unrequited. its requited. theyre starcrossed. theyre meant to be. theyre doomed by the narrative. they love each other. theyve never held hands. they wont stop making out at parties. they cant look each other in the eye
people who definitely know that Hollander and/or Rozanov have A Thing With A Man (of variably certain identity):
various dentists
hotel housekeeping staff
the kid who works late shifts at the drugstore where Ilya buys condoms (often) and lube (less often)
cleaners and laundry service employees
a kid on vacation with his parents in Vegas bored out of his mind because he's 14 and not allowed in the bars or casinos at their hotel and he's really hitting the grumpy teenager phase so he's pissed at his parents because he wanted to go birdwatching in the desert and instead he's on the hotel roof at night pointing his sick-ass binoculars (which he bought himself with money he earned by mowing their neighbours' lawns for a year) at the surrounding buildings and oh look there's two people making out on that rooftop terrace—wait, isn't that the guy from the Rolex ads?
Janice at the grocery store closest to the Hollander cottages who knows damn well that "David's boy" doesn't eat Nutella
the Voyageurs' nutritionist knows Hollander is fucking someone working for the Bears because he might not log it as sex but even Hollander doesn't actually do extra cardio after a game
employee at an airport phone repair kiosk in Chicago who was checking Ilya’s battery specs when "Jane" texted him "If I win you suck my dick first"
one of the parents at Game Changers Hockey Camp who is a couple's counsellor and a bit too good at her job
Gerry (78) three doors down from the Hollanders who has lived in his house since he was born and has made it his solemn duty to know everything that goes on in his neighbourhood
the owner of the bespoke jeweller's shop once Shane Hollander purchases the second ring, which is identical to the first, and a plain gold chain
the apprentice of the bespoke jeweller's shop a week before that when he recognises the ring he watched his boss make for Shane Hollander sitting on Ilya Rozanov's bare chest in a post-game interview on TV
I've been thinking about this - and why asking the demon is also a bad idea
Tartini was a composer and violin teacher and no one respected him, he was generally broke, and he started having weird dreams in which the devil asked him to teach him violin
despite being catholic tartini agreed - although everything told him this was a bad idea
so he taught the devil violin in his dreams and when he had taught him everything he knew the devil offered him payment, he played an original composition in his dream
Tartini woke up weeping and struggled to write it down
we have a historical version of "couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, this is just its tribute", and the song he wrote down made him "Sonata in G Minor, aka the devil's trill" it's usually played by 2 violinists because it's evil difficult,
now imagine you make a deal with the devil to write your novel, he writes it but only lets you read it in a dream and you have to transcribe it from memory the next day.... 150k of the best prose and plot you've ever seen in your life and you have to remember it

fujoshis who are not that into men or not into men at all are very funny to me. I loveeeee reading explicit fanfiction about two guys having sex. i see a shirtless guy in real life and i’m like okay so who asked for that
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
the first chapter of my @stobinminibang is finally here!!! it was such a great time to work with @adesa-arts. this is my first "big" fandom event and i'm just so excited about it :)
summary:
"You're my best friend, you know," Robin says, a statement of fact.
He is her best friend. And he does know that. It's not new information by any means, but it tastes different in her mouth, now, knowing that some asshole from high school grew up to drive her to the grocery store after the apocalypse.
"Stop that," Steve says, "You sound like you're delivering me a speech on your death bed." His intonation is joking, but his voice cracks a bit on the word 'deathbed' and he glances over at her in worry.
"I'll be fine, Steve," she says. "I'm just glad we're alive."
Or, Steve and Robin survive the apocalypse. And then they survive some more. A story in three parts, featuring s'mores, nosebleeds, and nail polish.
excerpt:
It's not until she shuts off the shower and feels water still falling down her face that she realizes, oh, she's crying again. She doesn't bother wiping the tears off. It's nice to have the time to cry. That's what they have now, isn't it? They have time to cry. They have time.
Robin looks at the clothes on the toilet seat lid. Picks up a shirt. Unfolds it.
It's Steve's obviously, and it smells a little bit like dust and a little like Steve. Not sweat. Not blood. Not decay. Steve. It's been a while since she's smelled him, the real him, without the salt or the Upside Down gunk. She missed it. It smells safe.
I'm safe, she remembers.
There's a knock on the door.
"Hey," Steve says through the door, "You OD in there?"
You OD in there? Suddenly Robin is on the tile floor of a mall bathroom, vomit down her shirt, singing like a Muppet. She reminds herself that she's not there anymore. She's here, in Steve's house. It's all over now.
I'm safe.
It's done.
"I am…still alive." She pulls the sweatshirt over her head and looks at herself in the mirror. Hawkins High Phys. Ed.
"Cool," Steve says. She hears the thump of his head against the wall. "Cool."
When she opens the door a few minutes later, he's crouched on the floor, staring off into space. She steps out into the hall and the floorboards creak. He looks up at her. "Oh. Hey."
"Everything okay?"
Steve chews the inside of his lip. "Yeah. Just, uh, nervous?"
"Why?"
Steve tongues his teeth and sucks in a sharp breath. "Well," he says. "What do we do now?"
"What do you mean?"
Steve swallows. Robin watches the bob of his Adam's apple. (She can't stop watching him. Making all the little notes; thinking to herself that he's alive. They're both alive.) "I think," he says, and then trails off.
"Careful there," Robin says. "Thinking? I heard thinking kills."
Steve flips her off lazily. "Just—it's over, now."
And Robin gets it.
The end of the world is a routine; the apocalypse is something you get used to. You get so used to waking up to monsters at your door and the absurdity of it all that you forget that the sky is, in fact, blue and your life does not always have to be on the line.
Steve has kept this routine for two years longer than she has. Two more years of waking up in the middle of the night. Two more years of cold sweats and screaming. Two more years of pain, and bruises, and blood, and two years of being so alone—
Robin wants to make a new routine with him. She wants to teach him brushing their teeth side by side. She wants to teach him movie nights. She wants to teach him falling asleep on the couch.
"It'll be okay," she says, and presses her lips to his matted hair. "We'll be okay," she says, and for the first time in the last few months it's not a question.
"We will." Steve's voice is shaky, but it's hopeful, and that's enough.
Robin waits for him outside the shower when it's his turn, listening to him sob.
He opens the door scrubbing at his eyes. The steam flows out underneath him. "S'mores?"

I love the sochi outing au for so many reasons (like omg it has Obama rpf and hollonov are having their everlark plot) but my favourite thing about it is that Shane's ending is so much better than canon. He gets to keep his dream of staying at montreal!! He's going to retire there!! That's his city!! This version of Shane is probably more traumatised then Canon and yet the ending is so much better that it really goes to show just how bad the tlg ending is. For so many reasons but also bc it ruins the hr ending for me. The reason shane brings up ottawa is bc they can afford to pay ilya what he's worth, he can be captain there, and he can be the first line centre. The fact that apparently none of this matters to ilya when he suggests Shane moves to ottawa just makes him look like a massive dick and also makes me think that ilya should just have gone to montreal at the end of hr. "Oh but the rivalry means - " if people found out Shane got Ilya to come to montreal they would be high fiving him on every street in the city. Ahhhhhhhh thank you for writing aus that are saving me from this dog shit ending that I pretend is not real
YOURE SO RIGHT THOUGH
In the books, when they’re talking about Ilya switching to a Canadian team, Ilya proposes leaving Boston for a Canadian team himself. It is brought up explicitly because America is bad for Russians at the moment, and he wants non-Russian citizenship. And during the conversation, Ilya has this moment where he can tell Shane wants him to come to Montreal, but Ilya doesn’t want to because Montreal could never afford both of them. Ilya says “Not Montreal,” and Shane immediately understands. He proposes Ottawa as an alternative because it needs a star center and has the cap space for Ilya.
And, critically, I cannot find a single mention of the fact that Ottawa is a bad team in Heated Rivalry itself.
Like. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I can’t remember any mention of the fact that Ottawa is terrible. I pulled up the pdf of the book and searched couldn’t find a single mention of the word “Centaurs” in it. I searched every mention of the word “Ottawa” and couldn’t find a single mention discussing how Ottawa was a bad team. The closest we get is Shane saying that they need a star center, but still needing a star for one position is a very different thing than it being the shittiest team in the whole league. And you’d think that Ilya would maybe bring up the fact that that team is absolute ass and would destroy his career if he went there if that was a legitimate concern. The Long Game rewrites its own canon to victimize Ilya and make Shane the villain in the Ottawa move. Its claims are fundamentally and irrevocably inconsistent with the explicit text of Heated Rivalry.
The entire dialogue around Shane being selfish in the Ottawa move drives me absolutely raving insane because it is fundamentally based in revisionist history. Shane is at no point in the conversation a driving factor in Ilya’s decision to leave Boston. Ilya decides he wants to be on a Canadian team before he even talks to Shane. The fact that he wants to come to Canada specifically is because of Russia, not Shane. And picking Ottawa is for the sake of Ilya’s career.
Signing with Montreal is outright considered and rejected by Ilya so he doesn’t have to take a pay cut. The explicit reason why he doesn’t want to sign with Montreal is the fact that Montreal cannot afford both of them. And that decision is later recast entirely into Ilya picking Shane over hockey. If Ilya wanted to pick Shane, he would have just taken the pay cut in heated rivalry and they would have been playing on the same team since fucking 2018–and it would have been on a team that Ilya himself describes as “the most legendary team in the entire league.” He would have had a great team and been tearing it up winning Stanley Cups but he didn’t want to take the pay cut or hit to his captaincy and his position and Shane fucking understood that and found him an alternative that wouldn’t require him to sacrifice his own position.
They explicitly pick Ottawa so that Ilya’s career doesn’t have to suffer and then the Long Game revises the entire narrative to turn it into how Ilya sacrificed his career for Shane. It is absolutely nonsensical when read in light of their conversation around the move itself. They outright reject playing on the same team so Ilya doesn’t have to sacrifice his own career.
And then!! All of the reasons why Ilya shouldn’t have to sign with Montreal suddenly do not matter at all when it’s Shane who has to suffer them. Shane has to take a pay cut? Laugh it off. Hubby will provide. He loses his entire career as narrative punishment for “making” Ilya sacrifice his career, but signing with Ottawa was explicitly so that Ilya wouldn’t have to sacrifice his career. Ilya actually does what Shane is accused of and villainized for in The Long Game, and Shane never did it to begin with. I feel like I’m being gaslit by an entire fucking fandom. Can anyone hear me hello
Shane gets to keep his team in the Sochi outing au. He gets to retire there. I put him through so much shit in the sochi outing au, but he gets to keep his team. I am building him a dream team in my mind and it will be so fucking narratively fulfilling so help me god
ilya in HR: i want to leave the US but i dont want to go to montreal and be on the best team in the league with you because they cant afford me
shane: ok so how about ottawa [which there is no mention of being a bad team in this book], they need a star center and can afford you
ilya: sounds good
ilya in TLG, on a rebuilding team that he chose for his career instead of being closer to his boyfriend: i sacrificed hockey for you hollander
shane: omg im so selfish and such a bad boyfriend :(((( i dont deserve ilya :(((((((
shane a few months later: *makes even more career sacrifices than the ones ilya rejected in HR, taking a pay cut to go to ottawa which he initially has reservations about but ilya laughs it off so apparently that makes it fine, losing the C, doesnt even have the A, isnt on the first line, all of this while the rest of the league already thinks he threw a playoff series for ilya so this entire humiliation ritual is just confirming their suspicions, still gets mocked for being a prima donna by his husband and new teammates*
sometimes i’m like “hmm, maybe i’m NOT a lesbian” and then i’m playing stardew valley for the first time and as soon as i realize “oh wait these are dateable characters” i don’t even consider that the men are ALSO dateable until like. a full several in-game days later
LMAOOO because i usually go for the guys but for the longest time i was like "hmmm but im not straight? :( it feels wrong to be a girl with a guy..." #ThenITransitioned #ImADudeNow
