Criminally Underrated Hollanov Fics - Part 2
People seemed to like the first list so here are 10 more underrated hollanov fics. All are completed, all have under 10k hits and 100 comments, and all deserve more love! And all but one are under 10k words. I have personally read and can vouch for all of these. If you enjoy, please remember to show some love to the authors! Also, if anyone ever wants to discuss any of the fics I ever post about, my dms are always open :)
it’s just background noise, anyway by @anincompletelist (2.4k, M) - cliff and carmichael sneak into ilya’s penthouse in 2014 vegas and almost catch shane and ilya in the act. love how this author writes ilya’s pov, he’s such a yearner
Forget about it by @deliciousblizzardshark (2.5k, G) - shane and ilya wake up together in a hospital room and both have temporary amnesia, they are so silly i love them
who else could love me quite as kindly as you by @eemolu (2.9k, M) - ilya can’t actually live inside of shane, so he settles for burrowing under his sweatshirt instead. so achingly tender. the love they feel for each other really shines through
jealous of the night watch by @lottswrites (3.7k, E) - hitman ilya needs to cuff hitman shane to make sure he doesn’t interfere with his job. i think you can guess where it goes from there hehe. love this au plus this fic was written for a charity event which makes it even more special!
Shane Hollandbear by writeitininkorinblood (4.1k, G) - outsider pov. the centaurs take shane to build-a-bear to make a bear for ilya. pure fluff and humor. made me want to go back to BAB
loose lips sink ships all the damn time by hollsynov (4.2k, T) - texting and socmed fic. ilya’s phone is broken so shane messages him on twitter, but accidentally outs them to a fan account instead. love this oc, this was funnier and more wholesome than i expected
i pay attention to things that most people ignore by @extendedpl4y (4.9k, T) - hayden realizes lily is ilya all on his own. i usually read (and write) fics with hayden as a dumbass so this is a nice change and very sweet!
In Sickness and In Health by gnomey2001 (5.5k, E) - shane gets the stomach flu after fleeing the tuna meltdown and so do all the raiders. shane is stuck in boston when the game is canceled, and ilya takes care of him. i love a post-tuna meltdown fix it and really enjoyed how everything was resolved.
slow motion, love potion by @delsicle (6.8k, E) - sex worker ilya is hired by shane in sochi during the winter olympics so he can experiment with a man. hot, sweet, and sad all at once. lovely writing
78 seconds by @felifiran (11k, E) - instead of shane being injured at the boston-montreal game, ilya takes a skate to the neck. it’s not as graphic as it sounds (but obviously there are discussions of blood). some lovely hurt/comfort, perfect if you want something bittersweet
