“You’re fucking with me,” Ryan accuses. Shane rolls his eyes, having the gall to look like he’s the one put out by this conversation. “Why would I be fucking with you?” he asks. It’s a good point. If it is a bit, it’s not a very funny one. But still, “I’ve known you for eight years, dude. I think I’d know if you were a fucking werewolf.” - in which shane's a werewolf, ryan is his new boyfriend, and shane's heat cycle is coming very soon

Ryan has a surprise for Shane, and Shane is just so in love.

but showing you off, i felt like a champ by Future_boy | T, 6K, complete

As silly as it is, Ryan wants to make cheesy Instagram posts, calling Shane his boyfriend in the caption and and sharing his dumb posts of making fun of Ryan with a heart. What couple—as unconventional as they are with also having wives—isn't disgusting on the internet at least a few times a year? Especially on Christmas. If only he wouldn't be so terrified of everyone's reaction.

“Alright, Ryan,” Shane had said with a teasing smile. “Pucker up!” It felt like a whistling kettle going off inside his head. Ryan’s brain had completely short-circuited. “Oh my God,” Steven’s laughing voice came from somewhere behind him. “Are you actually going to kiss him?” - Except, it turns out, Shane actually didn't kiss him at all. Not the way Ryan expected he would under the mistletoe. He should be relieved; chalk this up as Shane just being Shane and add it to the catalogue of eclectic things to expect from a friendship with the big guy. ...so how come Ryan has been left wanting?

And, behind the letter, was a page that had Shane's heart stop for a moment. Annulment of Betrothal. “Surely, he jests?” Shane nervously asked, tilting the papers towards his family friend and trusted manservant to examine. Or: Ryan and Shane are happily engaged and in love. If only Shane's fiance could stop trying to break off their engagement; that would be nice. Meanwhile, Ryan's just trying not to get executed.

Where You Got The Notion by ouijaboy | T, 3K, complete

A big crash, an enemy ship force-boarding them, and a crack to the skull? Daily life on board, of course.

[Or - the USS Tinseltown is besieged by pirates. Ryan and Shane hide out together after missing the evacuation.]

The letter is from the mayor, which doesn’t immediately raise any alarm bells. He’s always sending out reminders for local events or random requests for assistance, so Ryan opens it without much thought. Andrew’s curling handwriting announces: Dear Ryan, I would like to give you some information about an upcoming event: the Feast of the Winter Star. It’s a time for the community to come together and think back on all the good fortune we’ve had this year. A favorite tradition is the “secret gift exchange”, where everyone in town is randomly assigned to someone else. This year, your secret friend is: Shane. Don’t tell anyone! The feast will take place on the 25th at the town square. See you then! - Mayor Ilnyckyj “Oh,” Ryan says thoughtfully. “That sounds like fun!” And then, he rereads the part that says: This year, your secret friend is: Shane, and everything comes to a screeching halt. He looks down at his cat, who is calmly cleaning his paw. “Goldsworth, I think I might be in some deep shit.” Or, Ryan, humble farmer, gets assigned the local hot doctor for the Winter Star gift exchange, and it goes about as well as you'd expect (poorly)

Ryan wants to start a business with Shane, but he feels like he has to tell Shane the truth before they can take such a huge step. Turns out Shane has a few secrets of his own.

Ryan believes in soulmates. Shane does not. Shane wants a relationship. Ryan wants one with his soulmate. They have an arrangement.

They're ghost hunting and locked in a room where the only way out is a true love's kiss. But what counts as that? What is even true love?

“I could definitely lift you off the ground.” Shane has to look down at Ryan after he says it, which does not bode well for his case. “No, I’m serious!” Ryan says. He’s nursing his third beer sprawled out next to Shane on Shane’s living room floor. or the one where shane's couch is infested with termites, ryan is convinced he can lift shane, and they're both disaster gays.
