Many A Hungry Wish

so shane goes along with it, because the most important thing is getting ilya back. he says yes, rozanov, i love you too, i want a life with you. yes, we can do that. yes, i’ll meet you here. i’ll fly out after the game. but sometimes he says things like i love you, ilya. i’ve got you, ilya. we’ll figure this out, ilya. and hopes that he Understands what he’s saying, if he can even hear him, that this demon might be acting for him and talking for him but shane DOES love him, the real him, and he IS doing his best to figure it all out.

eventually he gets marlow (italian catholic, so he knows he won’t think he’s crazy) to help him, because he’s ALSO noticed that shit is off with ilya, and through marlow gets sveta involved. rose played a possessed nun in some horror flick a few years ago, and happens to have the number of an actual vatican-approved exorcist. they have a groupchat and everything. so there ARE people who think it’s weird when he and shane just vanish, when they both stop answering their phones, etc etc. so they mobilise the troops and figure out theyre at shanes insane sex condo (demons are too old to know what find my friends is) and demon is Definitely trying to enact its plan to Kill Shane And Make Ilya Watch

He finds him in the walk in cabinet and he’s got like 20 empty small sized bags of Doritos around him on the floor, just staring into the pantry chewing and Ilya goes to pick one up and Shane’s hand shoots out and he says very seriously “No those are Ilya’s”

Sleepsex with they’ve joked about before and Ilya had though might be hot but Shane is not sleep sucking his dick and having a good time. Shane is not having a good time at all. Shane appears to be trying to top an invisible person, but he’s…crying?

Ooohhh situationship era when it only happened rarely and he falls asleep for a second after they fuck and starts going through Ilya’s bag he brought, pulling out random shit and setting it around the room and in drawers like he’s unpacking.

"It's just… Why a snake, of all things?"

Shane shrugs. Carefully, he folds the very tip of the page he's on, creating the tiniest dog ear Yuna has seen, before closing the comic book and setting it aside on the bedside table. He scoots closer to Yuna, slowly, carefully, as if he's worried she's going to get up and leave if he moves too fast, until eventually he's next to her, arm pressed against hers. Yuna lifts the arm and wraps it around Shane, pulling him closer, and just waits him out.

Usually she presses him for information, trying to get an answer as quick as possible, but right now she's content to just sit here. She rests her head against Shane's, hair still damp from his shower earlier, and just holds him.

Eventually, voice thick, Shane says, "People think I'm weird. Everyone in my class likes that I'm good at hockey, and that I'm fast. In gym I'm always picked first for teams, but… I don't think anyone really likes me."

Something in Yuna breaks. There's a sharp pain in her chest that goes just as quickly as it came, and the matter of fact way Shane tells her ‘I don't think anyone likes me’ brings tears to her eyes. "Oh, baby…"

"And…" Shane sniffles and wipes his nose with the back of his hand. "No one really likes snakes, either. They think they're scary and weird and boring, and I think maybe I'm weird and boring, so maybe… Maybe a snake would like me."

Namaygoosisagagun First Nation/Collins has burned to the ground. The entire community is nothing but ashes after being quickly consumed by wildfires. They did not have any support from emergency services, and no one offered aid. The community saved themselves by escaping into boats because no one came.

Mishkeegogamang and Cat Lake have lost power. Families are ending up in shelters with nothing. Armstrong, Lac La Croix, Whitesand, Gull Bay, Lac des Mille Lacs are currently in the fires path and all members are being evacuated.

All this loss, all this devastation, and it was entirely preventable.

After steadily underfunding wildland firefighting and purposefully excluding Indigenous wildland firefighters and Indigenous wildfire organizations from wildfire operations, firefighter training, decisionmaking, and resource exchanges, in 2025, Doug Ford slashed the forest firefighting budget.

It's hard to ignore his decision to cut funding and leave us out of adequate fire training (even though we've lived with forest fires for thousands of years—far longer than settlers have been in Canada—and made sure fires like the ones we're all seeing today were prevented through kinisitotēn) when, despite making up less than 5% of the population, we account for 42% percent of all wildfire evacuations in Canada.

And when we are successfully evacuated, we face discrimination and racism—like Kashechewan—because it's always been easier to blame us than it is to blame the true culprit: denialism, corportate greed, and colonization.

The people of Collins and every other impacted community deserve better.

hope it hurts like you hurt me (e, 5.5k)

in which Shane stands up to the voyageurs and Ilya sucks his dick about it

I’m so proud of how this one turned out and I had SO much fun writing it. The ending was entirely unplanned, exhibitionist Shane just possessed me. I HIGHLY recommend the podfic by jennisaisquoi

where the lovelight gleams (e, 10k)

an Ilya POV character study of his Christmas days through the year

This is my least popular HR fic but I truly don’t mind. I think the people who get it, get it! I loved really sinking my teeth into book Ilya here. I also explored Shane’s extended family which I LOVED doing. This one ALSO has an amazing podfic by @diabolicalworldwriter

I’ll be Jane (m, 7k)

Shane’s sexts leak and the whole world roasts “Jane” for being a boring sexter. He doesn’t spiral about this at all

Conversely, this is my most popular fic in the fandom (and my most popular fic ever, jesus). I think it’s because I almost wrote it as a missing episode. I write a lot of outsider POVs but I loved being so close to Shane for this one. If I could write it again, all I’d change would be to make Shane even hornier. Again, there’s a podfic by the wonderful @diabolicalworldwriter

Everyone take a few deep breaths. The next 2 are not HR fics, I wrote them for the check please fandom last year

both alike in dignity (m, 16k)

AU where Jack plays lacrosse and he and Bitty fall into a secret relationship

I had fun with this one because it’s a bit different from my typical fics. It’s a lot longer than my oneshots usually are and it has rom com vibes. This is the kind of fic I only wrote because I wanted to read it but couldn’t find it lol and I’m so glad I did!

if there’s nothing missing in my life (unrated, 11k)

Jack and Kent swap bodies and get angsty as fuck about it (a Jack/Bitty fic)

Why yes, I did return to the check please fandom with a pov fic from its most contentious character. And it’s a body swap fic! Those are so tricky to write so this one had to make the cut lol. It also has some of my favorite lines I’ve written in a fic
