I feel it’s maybe time we talk about the Ibiza honeymoon? And like, the fact that Shane specifically wants to go there because he thinks Ilya would be magnificent in that kind of hedonistic party environment. I feel like Shane likely hasn’t travelled a ton outside of hockey - he’s probably been to Mexico a few times, to Europe to work and maybe once or twice on vacation? But all his parents’ money would have gone to hockey, hockey-related travel, and their cottage… and Shane is the type of guy to do all his brand management stuff in the off-season, and spend his time training instead of travelling when he doesn’t have any big hockey obligations. Plus the Foundation camps.
But he knows Ilya used to traipse around Europe in the summers, and he knows he was a club rat, so despite the fact that it makes Shane feel like he’s gonna puke, he’s incredibly excited to, like, not only see this side of Ilya but to experience it with him.
But before we talk partying we gotta talk about transport.
They get picked up from the airport with a very highly rated private service and rent an obnoxious villa on a fucking cliff over-looking the water because they can. It has a gym, infinity pool, private beach access and various other amenities, including a huge wine cellar with included sommelier, and a garage of sports cars and motorbikes/scooters. They take the cars a few times, and the Montrealer in Shane fucking relishes in the chaotic pace of Spanish traffic (which Ilya has not yet had the opportunity to see and is a little shocked by, but finds incredibly hot).
It takes more for convincing for the motorbike.
“I don’t want to end up in the hospital on our honeymoon—”
“Who said anything about hospital? Hollander, I am an expert. I would drive all around—”
“Yeah, and you shouldn’t have been doing that, anyway! They’re death traps!”
“One ride. Just quickly around.”
“Ilya.”
“Shane.” He comes closer, sliding his hands over Shane’s hips. “You, with your secret fucked up driving? You will love it, I promise.” He squeezes his hands and shrugs innocently. “And if you’re too scared you can follow me in a car.”
“Fucking—” Shane cuts himself off. Glares. “If we get hurt you’re gonna break the news to Weibe. And my parents.”
Ilya gleefully hands him a helmet.
“This is peer pressure,” Shane grouses as Ilya helps him put it on.
“Mm,” Ilya hums, straddling the bike. He puts on his own helmet. He’s not hot. At all. “Now, behind me. Feet on the little things on the side—yes, perfect.” He revs the engine like an asshole, and Shane firmly tells himself that isn’t hot, either. Neither is the way Shane wraps his arms around him, or how he has to hook his chin over Ilya’s shoulder to hear him over the noise, or when Ilya smirks and says hold on, Hollander before they take off like a fucking shot. Shane swears in surprise, arms squeezing Ilya’s middle. He can he feel him laughing and can’t help but grin back.
It’s… okay, it’s fun.
Ilya eases off the speed a little so it isn’t quite as terrifying, takes the turns more slowly, and is careful with the cracks and potholes. Eventually, the fact that he’s holding back becomes more annoying than sweet, and Shane takes advantage of an empty road at their more sedate pace to cuddle up against Ilya’s back more thoroughly. “This how you normally drive?” Shane yells against the wind.
He can feel Ilya shrug. “Precious cargo!” He yells back.
“Don’t worry about me!”
Ilya glances back at him, raising a brow. At the squeeze of Shane’s arms around him, he smirks and fucking guns it. They weave through traffic, around potholes, and take turns that have Shane’s heart in his throat and his adrenaline pumping. “If it’s too much, you say!” He hears Ilya yell through the wind.
It’s not too much. It is so embarrassingly not too much that he gets hard and horny enough to rub up against Ilya and feels him laugh delightedly. When Shane sees a good spot up ahead he grins. “Hey! Pull over up there!”
Ilya glances back, confused, but does as he’s told. “Are you—”
Shane has his helmet off almost before they’ve stopped, sliding off the back of the bike and walking backwards towards the trees. His hands are already undoing the button and zip of his shorts.
Ilya does that thing he does sometimes; the wide-eyed blush as he mouths wow, like all the air has been stolen from his lungs. He scrambles to follow.
I think Troy/Harris are much much more likely to do petplay than Shane/Ilya bc like. 1. I don’t think that’s the type of submission Shane is into. 2. Ilya is not disciplining a dog. He’s exclusively talking to dogs in baby voices and the idea of yelling at even an imaginary one troubles him. 3. Harris has spent years around a rowdy pack of farm dogs and the commanding intonation to get a dog to listen comes instinctively. 4. Troy knows he’s a bad dog.
Ok so you know the 100 pots vs 1 pot pottery parable? Well I really latched onto that story and leaned really far in the 100 pots direction. I would never work on an art piece beyond one sitting. It was great because I was getting my experience in, finishing stuff, posting stuff, not getting attached to them because I wasn’t invested, moving on. Not worrying about the limited time I had for my hobby. But then recently I was talking to another artist about my art frustrations. I didn’t think I was getting anywhere anymore. I was giving up on sketches that felt “beyond saving” so I could start the next one. And she was telling me next time to try working through something difficult instead of giving up. Now I’m like, Oh My God, she was totally right. I’d been depriving myself of that specific experience this whole time. Which has been years!

Shane and Ilya are secret agents on opposite sides of the Cold War, occasionally tasked with working together on high-stakes, strictly off-the-books missions. It doesn’t stop them from falling in love.

chapter 1 is posted now!! (mind the tags)
free sample:
“Everything should be pretty straightforward,” Shane said. “I go in, make the sale, assess the situation. Then you can take him.” “Yes, very straightforward,” Rozanov replied. “What could go wrong?” “Don’t say that.” “No, no, you have it all figured out. Should be very simple first mission.” “Don’t say that, either.” Rozanov smirked at him, his eyes sparkling with mirth. Shane glared. The end of this mission couldn’t come soon enough.
With this sudden amount of conversation of AI-assisted fics and such, is there a specific fic or fics that people are talking about as being "super popular" but obviously AI written? I feel so out of the loop
(Feel free to send me this on anon if you don't want to comment something publicly. I won't publish anything that names an author / fic)
I believe the uptick in conversation is in reaction to this. The Reddit post links to a conversation/document that explains a specific html markers which proves that a piece of text has been copied + pasted directly from Claude AI, and then includes a rundown of how many of these markers were found in a subset of very popular fics in the Heated Rivalry tag on AO3, some of which are extremely popular and successful (as in, very high stats, are talked about and recommended a lot, authors have name recognition).
This marker only exists if text was copied directly from Claude AI into the AO3 text box. It wasn't originally identified in a fandom context and doesn't occur if the text was copied from Claude into ie a Word doc or if a different LLM was used. It also doesn't differentiate between text that was completely generated by Claude and text that was only edited by Claude for formatting or spelling.
The main takeaway from this experiment is, in my opinion, that AI use in fanfiction is widespread and ubiquitous and not detectable to most people. There is no reliable way to tell if a text was written using AI because of how LLMs work and what they were trained on, but a lot of people ARE using AI to write fanfiction and the results are good enough to make AI use rewarding.
The other thing is that it complicates the way fandom as a community talks about AI use in fic. Most people don't want to read fic that uses AI, which disincentivises writers from disclosing their AI usage. People have been using AI accusations to bully and harass authors, which is bad because bullying is bad, but also apparently a lot of authors are using AI and vehemently denying it when asked. Reconciling all of this in a way that satisfies all the different interests and ideals about fandom conversations is going to be really, really difficult and probably get really, really ugly.
It also doesn't differentiate between text that was completely generated by Claude and text that was only edited by Claude for formatting or spelling.
Just to note that this can't be differentiated because LLM models (unless paired with additional methods, which Claude may or may be) don't track input in this way. All output is identical: it's statistically generated text, based on the input. There's no mathematical distinction between "editing" and "generating" for the model, though people try to draw a distinction when they talk about LLM use by humans.
Otherwise, yes, agreed. Presumably there's plenty of authors copying into word processors and *then* publishing to AO3, which would hide these artifacts.
I'll just say this: my mathematical research is adjacent to LLMs. I understand very well how they work. I do not think the mathematics of it is somehow evil. And I refuse to sit around and draw lines about "acceptable" use: is it ok to use LLMs to copy edit? What about to translate? Or to generate a list of names for background characters? To format?
You could spend a lot of time building an ethical framework to try and answer these questions in a coherent way. But for me it comes back to the fact that I fucking hate "AI" and the companies that peddle it. I do think they're evil. And I don't want to read anything touched by "AI" because I don't want to engage with their products.
But there's never going to be a way to know for sure, short of artifacts (that will very quickly disappear, now, due to the new knowledge of how they're generated). It's easy to just feel hopeless.
But maybe OpenAI is going bankrupt, so let's hope for better days. Or I don't know. Going back to just reading fic by friends, via mailing lists, maybe.

CLEAN SWEEP | rated E, 28k, shilya
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.

oh season 2 is going to put me in the fucking ground
my dad came to the US in the mid-80s, and when he did, one of my aunts (who had come to the US a few years prior) gave him a list of tv shows to watch. the popular ones, the ones she knew everyone was talking about. she wanted to make sure he was up to date on his american pop culture knowledge, because that meant his american colleagues wouldn't be able to isolate him for the simple fact that they couldn't relate to him. he could participate in conversations, he wouldn't be the weird indian man no one really ever got to know that they could then throw under the bus later. he could become "one of them". she asked him to get into american football and basketball, even though he was already a far bigger cricket fan and didn't really care about other sports.
when yuna is talking to montreal's gm, she assures him "[she's] the world's biggest metros fan" and it's how she came to feel canadian, her dad sitting them down on saturday nights to watch hockey and her becoming a fan of the metros. it's not lost on me that this comes right after the gm is talking about how they're thrilled shane is asian and saying that stuff about breaking barriers. and i think this is a very specific facet to the way asian people are treated in the west. there's a lot of pressure to "prove" you're really canadian, or american, or australian, or whatever, because asian people are seen as perpetual foreigners and outsiders. this is what underpins a lot of the effort to assimilate.

fanart for this year's wine
Shane was there when Ilya got the call, his arm heavy across Ilya's stomach, like even in sleep he could tell something was trying to take Ilya away from him. When Boston realize Ilya wants out, they send him to the highest bidder. The highest bidder is LA.
