and we all fall down by lowkey_existential_despair E/14k/WIP - Part 3 of the ongoing two weddings and a scandal series

This may be cheating, as the first part is much more well known, but unless you were subscribed you wouldn't know that there was a continuation to this. Deals with the immediate ramifications of coming out as married after keeping it secret for 4 years. Completely divine. Read part one if you haven't already.

These Icy Waters by @jeejascoffee - E/34k/Complete

Nothing like I've ever read in this fandom. Magical realism, haunting and little bit of horror. Just amazing

they say it's my fault by Rizandace T/5k/Complete - Part Two of the ongoing all the things (they) said series

This one is hard to explain without giving too much away. Shane really manages everything so badly here, I feel like he is so realistic, he's just getting everything wrong. Part one is Rose POV, Part Two is Shane's.

Doses and Mimosas by Ziuzura E/50k/WIP

I'm not usually one for university aus but this one has entranced me. Shane is bloody mental in this I love it.

temporality/liminality by @hemipenia E/10k/Complete

Rose era narrative. I love seeing authors perspective of the inside of Shane's closet. This one in particular is fantastic.

mirage by ann_sable M/8k/Complete

I'm just going to put the summary to describe this. I can't describe it any better. Tastiest time loop in the world.

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.

getting killed by a pretty good life by @blixabargelds E/9k/Complete

Different interpretations on Ilya's mental health are something I seriously love. This one might be the magnum opus for me.

I'm Just Happy You Still Call by @distractivate NR/16k/Complete

One of my absolute favourite Yuna fics. Her relationship with Shane is so nuanced and awesome in this. Yuna's identity is so wound up in Shane's I love the exploration of this here.

get gone by geniflux M/11k/Complete

Shane's various identity issues and lack of control over his own life come to a head. AMAZING!

gens du pays by khafre E/3k/WIP

Shane has a situationship with Sasha. There is so much character work crammed into this short fic. but their relationship, against all odds, works so well. Really interesting perspective.

Honourable Mentions - Ongoing WIPs with over 1k kudos that are beyond amazing.

Carrion Comfort by @stevesbootyshorts E/113k/WIP

I've been following this fic since maybe the third chapter? Has been one of my absolute favourites since the beginning. The character work, the tension and the frankly incredible descriptions of injury makes this just beyond amazing.

Progression by conturbat_me T/27k/WIP

Shane's parents disliking Ilya might be my favourite things ever. This one does it so well. Everything this author writes is gold.

on winning and losing (and ilya rozanov) by fingersfallingupwards - M/89k/WIP - Part 2 of the ongoing old man hollanov yaoi series

This series is just amazing. Very well known but Ilya's teenage son is maybe the best OC ever? Part two is a highlight, as we really experience Shane's trials and tribulations trying to manage his new relationship with his own personal challenges.
