Shane Hollander’s Raads-r Test

Watershed is now complete! 🛶 Ilya reflecting on how they settled into the Centaurs post-outing 🛶Shane smothering Ilya in so much caretaking and love 🛶Crack treated seriously 🛶 Hollanov getting freaky in the woods with notes of Exhibitionist Shane 🛶 Mini coded SMAU as C5

@Veronicatrash13 If there’s one hill I die on, it’s Oxford comma. Why make things more confusing than they have to be!

@Shanebug2481 I was a big Oxford comma hater but I'm trying to get into it because people can barley comprehend shit

The more I write the more sure I am that I do not know how to use commas and I fear it’s too late to learn

@cryptidjuice Correct! (My beta reader with an MA in writing is SICK of me)

@Shanebug2481 you use commas with your heart, not your brain

@MehzabinPr24072 Agreed! They both hurt each other at points, but they both had very valid reasons, and one of the most compelling things about the two of them is they are equals in every possible way.

@Shanebug2481 a lot of people don't also seem to understand that Ilya also had a gigantic crush on Shane and he was also scared , when I read the books I didn't feel like the power dynamic only alone favored Ilya or Shane

Am I too sapphic pilled or does it feel weird when people call the condo hookup “the first time Hollanov had sex” 🤨

@hollandersimp I love the SMAUs bc I love a chance to get to see them fawn & freak with their supportive friends :’)

@Shanebug2481 they’re to idiots in loves

update if people would like

My mayor muslim Carter Hart is a Bitch Canes in six

@hollanovpseud Unironically goofy sex for an established couple is so important and realistic!

@hollanovpseud OH THANK GOD

Making a thread of my favorite Hollanov fics with 30K or less hits. :) If anybody knows authors that I don’t tag, pleasse tag them. Adding all kinds of stuff, be sure to check tags for yourself on any rec. 🤍

@hollanovpseud I get so deep in that tag, and I have to stop myself from tagging most of my fics this way because it’s so fun but can also have so much heart!

@Shanebug2481 i deeply love crack treated seriously it's so dear to me

Hollanov’s millennialness is really important to me, and it can be humorous, but also I think it completely informs their story and how they chose to navigate queerness throughout their life.

me liking any post saying “THATS HIS BABY” referring to ilya about shane or vice versa

@hollanovpseud Unironically I think this is the fic I have recced more than any other one to friends like WHY IS IT SO GOOD???

@Shanebug2481 JSBJSHDJDHDR THIS ONE WAS SO GOOD HAHAAHAH thank you for the rec. weirdly not the first time i've consumed bee sounding content for a fandom 😅

@hollanovpseud Ofc, thank YOU for Penalties 🤍

@Shanebug2481 honoured to be included! thank you 🥹

(Ignore my extra cheating bit on this, I changed the word count threshold after lol)

Meet Me in the Hallway by a_church_of_burnt_romance archiveofourown.org/works/77549856… Scott finds Shane in subdrop after Vegas and fixes it. (Cheating bc this has 25k hits but idc I love this one) 4.1K | 3/3 | M

@MehzabinPr24072 Like it was shitty of Ilya but also Shane wasn’t this vulnerable, completely inexperienced person. He consented, and had had experiences with people before Ilya.

@Shanebug2481 No same I feel like i am too woke when people say ilya took shanes virginity in there and ghosted

@LadyDispo Ohh! Do you remember where he talks about this?

@Shanebug2481 Jacob said that he struggles with what to call that hook up. He knows it’s not the “first time have sex”, but to him sex = penetration/intercourse. But it’s weird to say “first time they have intercourse” which is so formal, or “go all the way”, which is what teens say.

@neuroticslavic Fr likeeee 😭

@Shanebug2481 no a straight person said this to me and i was so confused she said “i just got to the part where they have sex” i said… episode 1??

@mikadontyoudare I agree! I don’t think there’s a perfect way, but I do think there are less heteronormative ways if that makes sense?

@Shanebug2481 it's more like, there's not a good way to say it either. Cause it WAS a big deal, and it wasn't really the first they had sex but it's also the first time they did that, and it sounds way too clinical to say "anal" or "penetration" (also penetrating a mouth is penetration) sooo

@Tibbalicious Yep me too!

@Shanebug2481 I think of it as more of their first full experience, like trying it all without reserve, because they have been having sex with limits and time constraints, and it's the first time they just get to enjoy each other without anything else
