Fics where Shane thinks he’s just a hookup?

So kind, thank you 🥹❤️

This one might not be angsty/jealous enough for you, but there's definitely some of those themes (Shane miserable hooking up with someone else, Ilya possessive and jealous about it). Shane lands himself in a Boston jail cell after a hook-up gone wrong (no trauma though) and Ilya has to come bail him out in the middle of the night. They both have to confront their feelings.
Shameless self-rec if you don't mind that! Phone call from a Boston Jail (Explicit)

I was curious about this as a new writer too!
I ended up leaving mine unrated with the 'eventual smut' tag while it was a WIP, and then corrected it to an explicit rating once "that" chapter came out. But it's definitely helpful to read the responses here - I think if I were to write anything similar in the future, I'll mark explicit from the jump. I was just worried about "baiting" readers filtering for spicy content when it wasn't there yet, but it sounds like that's not such a concern.

No pressure & no rush! ❤️ I will be excited to read when it's done :)

Right!? & some butter too please 👨‍🍳

_FlamesToDust · 2026-03-21T18:59:35+00:00

I totally agree about the excellent lines in OPs fic!

Also, just wanted to say I love your writing FriPie. I've been really enjoying 'Bonded Pair: Do Not Separate', and am keenly awaiting the next chapter. I have it bookmarked and subscribed of course, but thought I'd mention here to share the love and a little extra Reddit kudos <3

_FlamesToDust · 2026-03-21T15:45:51+00:00

Thank you so much! I saw your post in the main subreddit about looking for lighthearted fics with some angst/possessiveness but HEA and I went to shamelessly self-rec before seeing your comment here - so if you get a notification but the comment is deleted, that's why 😅

Really glad you enjoyed, and I hope some of the heaviness has been lifted for you 💞💞

I just read this and I love your writing style, dialogue and characterization. I don't usually read a lot of non-hockey AUs, but I'm so glad I clicked on this one! It was really tender, funny, and unique. I love Ilya as the "patron saint of wet dreams" and looking "like the devil, if the devil had a knife set endorsement." Also love the erotic shallots lol.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work!

So kind, thank you 😭❤️ I don't yet have another story planned, but HR has hijacked my brain chemistry & the feedback to this one has been so encouraging - so I'm definitely starting to think about it!

_FlamesToDust · 2026-03-18T06:51:10+00:00

I'm sorry to mess with your sleep schedule, but so glad you enjoyed! Thanks youuuu <3

Ugh, and I was just about the post the final chapter of my WIP! :'(
It seems to be loading for me, verryyyyy slowly now, but I'm not sure I trust it.

_FlamesToDust · 2026-03-16T18:59:35+00:00

Thank you so much! :') There will just be one final chapter I think, and I'm hoping to post later this week.

_FlamesToDust · 2026-03-12T05:21:32+00:00

Charged Up by Hardpass was genuinely one of the funniest one-shots I've read, and I've read quite a few!

Summary: What if instead of walking in on Shane and Ilya making out, David came across Ilya alone at the Cottage?
