Fic Rec Friday
Edition 24
Welcome to Fic Rec Friday! We're in the mood for some longfics for this cozy December evening, so settle in and read along!
Hell for the Holidays by ma_malice
Complete | 23k words
“There will be no sacrifice,” Shane said for the third time since they’d landed in Illinois. “Not so much as a chicken. Stop being weird.”
Shane takes Ryan home for the holidays. It goes about as well as you’d expect.
Santa Daddies by drunkkenobi
Complete | 3k words
“I really think we should just tell her,” Shane argued. “Kids find out anyway, might as well have our girl be ahead of the class.”
“Shane, she’s three!” Ryan shot back. “All kids should believe in Santa at three!”
Or: Ryan and Shane vs The Santa Problem
The Young and the Hopeless by mccxxvi
Complete | 54k words
He lifted the towel to wipe his small mirror, when he saw it. There was writing on the mirror, a single word wiped into the condensation, written with a finger, a set of tidy, straight letters.
Alexander.
Ryan almost screamed. The ghost wanted Ryan to find his murderer and bring him to the light. Alexander must have been whoever murdered him. Ryan sighed, resigned to be the detective responsible for it.
“Fine, I’ll find this Alexander you want. But I don’t know what to do afterwards,” he said to his empty room.
A 1960s Professor!Shane/PhDstudent!Ryan gothic novel flavored AU fic, because i know a market gap when i see one.
A Ghoul's Guide to Life, Death & Afterliving by MercurySkies
Complete | 70k words
'Shane was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that, to quote ‘the’ Charles Dickens with an emphasis on the 'dick'. They didn’t tell you the great Victorian novelist was also a grade A asshole in high school but then again what do they tell you in high school? Shane Madej was dead, as dead as one disembodied soul standing seemingly above his own corpse probably can be.'
The Last Days Of The Bergara Gang by PhyllisDietrichson
Complete | 41k words
“Plus,” and he smiles with all of his white teeth, “if we’d left you there much longer to cardsharp that crew, likely your night would have ended with a knife to the throat.” He reaches out as if to graze his fingers over Shane’s clavicle, then remembers himself at the last minute. His hand hovers in the air. “And what a shame it would be, to mar that throat.”
“Do you—what do you want, Bergara?” Shane stammers out. He winces at the waver in his voice.
“You,” he responds, his eyes sweeping up to meet him with a gaze that pierces Shane between the ribs.
hey boy, take a look at me by weakspots
Complete | 18k words
Ryan is 27, for Christ’s sake, and he’s not exactly hideous, so there’s really no reason to spend his money on a dude — a dude — whose face he’ll never see but whose livestreams he’s been jerking off to for roughly 4 months now. He should be going out and partying and fucking random chicks. Or a guy, whatever, just to get it out of his system and confirm to himself that he really is 100% straight.
Because he is. This is morbid curiosity, if anything.
Whatever The Opposite Of Lesbian Sheep Syndrome Is by orphan_account
Complete | 9k words
Shane was the one who kissed, not the one who was kissed.
Shane was the one who did the holding, not the one who was held, and that was fine.
made it so far in time by addandsubtract
Complete | 12k words
“I’m, uh. I’m pretty sure the you I’m friends with is older,” Ryan says, and then winces.
use somebody by bodhirookes
Complete | 10k words
“You’re the most obnoxious person I’ve ever met,” Shane says over the sound of Ryan’s workout noises, which are equal parts distracting and hideous. “Why can’t you just be a lazy asshole like the rest of us?”
“I have a figure and reputation to maintain,” Ryan grits out, not even pausing to look at him. “Can’t be a big, bad ghost hunter without my guns.”
Or, Shane has a thing for Ryan's muscles and Ryan has a thing for Shane having a thing.
a child's answer by deerie
Complete | 2k words
“You know, it’s kind of sad about the Queen Mary,” Ryan says as they make their way to the mess hall. “That’s where I saw a ghost for the first time.”
Shane stares at him incredulously. Ryan can tell that he wants to say something, but is refraining.
He’ll have to find the video of the tube of toothpaste being knocked off the counter as proof to show Shane. Ryan remembers the panic he felt in that moment: the revelation that something existed outside of the realm of what he understood.
It’s the same feeling that he had when the Kaiju first appeared, thrashing and tearing and ripping buildings and bridges to shreds.
A Symptom of Time by fightingfuries
WIP | 12k words
"Sure," Shane says easily like he doesn't believe Ryan for a second. "You're living out the plot of the 1993 Bill Murray vehicle Groundhog Day. Now where does the kissing factor in, exactly?"
"You were all like 'I'm Shane, I don't believe in magic but you should find a tall brunette to kiss.’"
Shane laughs again, helplessly. "I'm the tall brunette? I obviously meant Andie McDowell." He catches himself. "If I had said that, which I didn't, because time loops aren't real."

Shyan Fics
I’ll Crawl Home – carrieonfighting
(16,024 words / 6 chapters / Teen and up)
Tags: Demon!Shane, Angst, Non-Linear Narrative, bc im PRETENTIOUS, Protective!Shane
"Shane was almost unnerved by how quickly he’d settled into this body, this name, this life - his friendship with Ryan was the most time he’d spent with any human before, and yet the man fascinated him."
Wow. That’s all I gotta say. I started reading Shane/Ryan fic because I had a weird dream and went looking for comfort fic to ease the edges of my mind. I stumbled upon this fic and was so fucking blown away. I was drawn in because of the demon!Shane tag and the way this story is charted out is insane. It’s nonlinear (there is a liner version tho I’m strongly against it). Just ohmygod read this fic it’s insane and hurts so good.
I’m Gonna Keep You in Love with Me (for a While) – beethechange
(21,847 words / 1 chapter / Explicit)
Tags: fake married, also real married, friends to husbands to lovers to ???, Las Vegas Wedding, possible dubious consent due to alcohol consumption, Anal Sex, Hand Jobs, Oral Sex, Rimming, just assume most of the kinds of sex are present here, probably more Celine Dion than you were hoping for, they say "fuck" a lot, also "dude" but I don't make the rules okay, Bedsharing
Shane is pacing around the hotel room. It’s not a huge room and Shane’s legs are long enough that he doesn’t have much real estate to pace before he has to swing back around for another loop.
“Can you stop?” Ryan asks. “You’re making me dizzy.”
“Okay,” Shane says finally. “Okay. Here’s what we’re going to do. We’re just going to—we’re going to be married. The only way out is through.”
“Um,” Ryan says, because this plan strikes him as counterproductive to their shared goal of not being married.
To me there are the big two when thinking of Shane/Ryan fics. That is to say the others aren’t amazing but two gutted me in a way I was not expecting from I ship I don’t even ship. This is one of the two and fucks sake it hurts me but in a way I really like and neeeeeded. (The other is the one above this)
Muscles Better and Nerves More – beethechange
(26,301 words / 1 chapter / Explicit)
Tags: Bodyswap, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Getting Together, First Time, Pining, Slow Burn, Masturbation, Hand Jobs, Blow Jobs, Anal Fingering, Body Horror, Rituals, Swearing, Sexy Shame
“I’m serious,” Ryan says. “Don’t go fucking up my body. I want that shit back in the same condition I left it.”
“The same condition—Ryan. I’m not spending hours in a gym every day so you don’t lose muscle mass.”
“I want you to treat my body with the respect you would a national park. Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but memories.”
***
A certain meddling Voodoo Queen of New Orleans thinks Ryan and Shane need some new perspective on life. After an inadvisable ritual deposits Ryan in Shane’s body, and Shane in Ryan’s, the ghoulboys pursue some soul-searching and self-discovery to put things right. Sometimes in a sexy way.
I have found out while reading this fic that I am also a sucker for bodyswap!au. Something about learning to love someone completely while seeing (and being lmao) all of them is so intimate and endearing to me. Plus there’s dumplings in this fic and that is just sweet sweet poetry.
If you can find a way to love me, it’s all right – varnes
(11,232 words / 1 chapter / Teen and up)
Tags: Fake/Pretend Relationship, Psychic Ryan
When Ryan was a kid, he fell into a pile of bricks. They were playing hide and seek, and he thought he had the best hiding spot: high up in a thickly lush tree, his knees drawn to his chest so that he’d blend in. But the branch broke. He hit his head and doesn’t remember much of what happened after that. When he woke up a few hours later, the sun was setting, and his friends were gone, and his parents were calling for him, their flashlights swinging across the grass. There’d been blood on his bangs.
Anyway, now he can see ghosts.
Kind of.
Look, he’s not great at it.
--
Or: Ryan, personally, has three lists: “NICE GHOSTS,” “GHOSTS I DON’T FUCK WITH,” and, “IDK, SPOOKY STUFF.”
Oh my goddddd this fic is so sweet and so owie. At first I was skeptical because the fanon is that Shane can see demons or ghosts or whatever. But having it be Ryan???? So owie in such a good way. Other then this fic being the masterpiece that it is, I’m going to convince you with one sentence: Ryan has a cat with a ghost in it that demands Taco Bell. That’s it baybee. Read it or you’ll regret itttt.
BFFS Get Married For A Week – Ryan and Shane – aspookycryptidsock
(18,108 words / 8 chapters / Explicit)
Tags: Fake/Pretend Relationship, Fake Marriage, Friends to Lovers, Oral Sex, Hand Jobs, Pining, Mutual Pining
"As I was saying," Curly continues with a pointed glare in Ryan's direction. "It's my honor to join the two of you in unholy matrimony. The rules are simple, you'll live together, plan one date each, and cherish each other. Til week do you part."
I first read this fic years and years ago. I don’t know how it happened but me and my best friend found it while being at a library and we went feral reading it before their mom picked us up. It’s my origin story to the ship. This fic is my first love and my baby gorl. Shane is intense in a way I lovelovelove. Ryan is dumber then a pile a bricks amen.
Body Farming – shiphitsthefan
(7,251 words / 1 chapter / Explicit)
Tags: Season/Series 04, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Alpha Shane Madej, Protective Shane Madej, Omega Ryan Bergara, Mating Cycles/In Heat, Mutual Pining, Scenting, Multiple Orgasms, Knotting, Daddy Kink, Size Kink, Dirty Talk, Dom/sub Undertones, Filth with Feelings, Community: bfukinkmeme, Multisex Omega
Failed suppressants and a surprise heat: the worst of cliches, and here Ryan stands, living the trope on location with the alpha he’s hopelessly in love with. Even worse, they’re spending the night in the famous Bell Witch Cave, completely alone and with no way to contact the outside world.
Ryan knows he can survive and keep his preheat a secret, as long as Shane will stop being so protective and concerned. After all, it’s not like Shane wants to bond with him.
Right?
Your honor I’d like to state my case by saying being horny on main is bc I’m silly goofy and I never meant no harm. ABO fuck or die in a cave? Fuccck kkkk y e aaaa
Por Favor, Sweetheart – carrieonfighting
(7,859 words / 1 chapter / Teen and up)
Tags: Kid Fic, Fluff, Domestic Fluff, Accidental Baby Acquisition, ryan dadgara, and shane dadej, Original Baby Character - Freeform, Tooth-Rotting Fluff, You Have Been Warned
Two dorks raise a baby and don't even realise they're doing it together until it's too late
Alternatively, Ryan Bergara is Trying His Best Thanks
Ryan gains custody of a baby and is strugggglinnnggg until a Sasquatch comes and helps <3. Ain’t nothing says romance baybeee then an actual baby.
daring it’s a faded notion – varnes
(28,760 words / 5 chapters / Explicit)
Tags: Paranormal shenanigans, y'all remember that trope where people can't be more than 5 feet apart without Suffering?
The sun is too bright and Ryan’s whole body is alight with something that is eating him all the way up from the inside out, but he keeps his eyes open and he makes himself look, and he tells himself that once he finds Shane, he’ll think about it. Once he finds Shane, they’ll make a plan. Once he finds Shane, and only then, he’ll let himself have the thought he’s been swallowing down like bile since he came to: that they didn’t fall.
They were pushed.
OR: Ryan and Shane get cursed by a ghost, and now they can't be not-touching. It's ... not great.
Ghosties don’t like the no homo and said ummm yeeeeet!!! Into the Grand Canyon then the ghoul boys kiss???? Makes me go hubba hubba
Collide - needywitch
(35,310 words / 2 chapters / Explicit)
Tags: Pining, Friends to Lovers, Fluff, Eventual Smut, Slow Burn, Masturbation, Mutual Pining, Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending, Eventual Happy Ending, Getting Together, Falling In Love, Biting, First Time, Dirty Talk, Love Confessions, Rough Sex, Shane Madej Has a Big Dick
Ryan is desperately in love with his best friend.
Owieeeeeee. This one made me cryyyy. The prose of this fic along with a healthy usage of the word jaunty made this fic deeply emotional as well as made me want to cry when they kissed. Very excellent
A Perfect Piece of Ass, Like Every Californian - beethechange
(25,706 words / 3 chapters / Explicit)
Tags: entirely self-indulgent PWP, smut with feelings, Threesome, Birthday Sex, Oral Sex, lotta ball stuff here folks, so i hope you like balls, Anal Fingering, Anal Sex, Sexy Air Traffic Conducting, Vaginal Sex, Voyeurism
“Happy birthday, Shane,” Sara says. “I got you a Ryan.”
“Th—thanks?” Shane says. He looks at Ryan and Ryan just looks back, weirdly impassive, giving nothing away. “But I’m pretty sure I already have a Ryan in this model. What’s the return policy?”
“Not like this, you don’t,” she says, raising her eyebrows meaningfully. Out of the corner of his eye Shane can see Ryan bring his hand to his mouth, stifling a snicker that he turns into a cough. Oh, he thinks.
Oh shit.
I’m not gonna sit here and pretend that this fic is morally correct but Shane/Sara/Ryan fic is what I needed and it blew me away and it is the best smut thank you goodnight

Hey! Do you have any good demon Shane fic recommendations please? 🩶
I'm not as active in fandom, so I don't have as many offerings as I'd like. Another thing is, one of the weird fun facts about me is that when I'm not hyperfixated on a thing, I lose the ability to read smut about it, so you'll find that the ratings for this tend to be M or below (except for one I pulled from the bookmarks). I hope you enjoy!
The Devil You Know by ma_malice | T, 19k | "There will be no sacrifice,” Shane said for the third time since they’d landed in Illinois. “Not so much as a chicken. Stop being weird.” Shane takes Ryan home for the holidays. It goes about as well as you’d expect.
Lead us not into temptation by Agf | E, 6k | Look, having a demon boyfriend and not roleplaying demonic sex just kind of seems like a waste, leftover Catholic guilt notwithstanding.
summoning demons (and other bad first date ideas) by callunavulgari | M, 3k | “If I let you out of that circle,” Ryan says, slowly. “Are you going to eat me?” Shane gives him a sharp smile and before he can think better of it, retorts, “Only if you ask very nicely.”
touch and go (don't let go) by cathect | T, 2k | Or, the one where Shane tells Ryan he's a demon.
Myliobatoidei by puppytozier (calicoy) | T, 1k | “I am not a demon,” Shane insists. There, in his bathrobe, with his horns and scales and pitch black eyes, Shane insists that.
i have my reasons (call it my defense) by MistressKat | T, 666 | There are three reasons why Shane always does his solo run first, in every haunted, demon-infested, supernaturally inclined location they investigate.
pull me closer (until we collide) by Future_boy | T, 4k | Ryan is seemingly haunted by a spirit that just really wants to hold his hand.
From Hell, With Love by snapdragonpop007 | T, 4.7k | Shane Madej is a demon, and Ryan Bergara is a psychic medium. These are facts. Ryan knows one of these facts, and Shane knows both of them.
Ritual Magick for Beginners by sequence_fairy | T, 2k | Ryan learns the hard way that you shouldn't get your protection spells from myfirstspellbook.com.
Apotheosis by orphan_account | M, 3k | Slowly but surely, Ryan realises that holy shit, he may or may not be dating a demon. So naturally, his next course of action is to summon the demon in question.

can you help me find some shyan arranged/contract/accidental marriage au? I love this trope but can't find that many fics....
hello! we asked our members for their favorite fics and here's what we got!
Your Heart Inside of Mine by miraclesofpaul | M, 51K, complete
They're placed into the Witness Protection Program after a bomb was found on the set of Unsolved. The only way to stick together is to lie and say they’re engaged. Years go by. Things change. Things transform
don't know why but you're dying to try by orphan_account | T, 2K, complete
"oh, hey, you dropped this," ryan notices suddenly, bending to pick up the sleek fur coat. he brushes it off and holds it out to shane, who just stares at him with wide eyes.
Believer by cellard00rs | E, 101K, complete
Some demons and otherworldly creatures love climbing up the power ladder. Shane is not one of these. He likes where he is (thank you very much) and has no interest in moving up. All he wants is to give his friend Ryan a nice birthday gift. So, naturally, everything goes to hell.
I’m Gonna Keep You in Love with Me (for a While) by beethechange | E, 21K, complete
Shane is pacing around the hotel room. It’s not a huge room and Shane’s legs are long enough that he doesn’t have much real estate to pace before he has to swing back around for another loop.
“Can you stop?” Ryan asks. “You’re making me dizzy.”
“Okay,” Shane says finally. “Okay. Here’s what we’re going to do. We’re just going to—we’re going to be married. The only way out is through.”
“Um,” Ryan says, because this plan strikes him as counterproductive to their shared goal of not being married.
Resuscitation, Sounding Heartbeats by sunlight_sonata | M, 17K, complete
"Very funny," he said shakily, looking nervously at the pair. Shane was now avoiding his gaze, not the usual emotion for someone who just pulled a wicked prank. "Yeah, that’s a good one. Now, we need to decide-"
"I’m not joking, Mr Bergara," Madame Alexandrina said. "Or should I say, Mr. Bergara-Madej."
And oh, fate was nasty. Because now the name that had chased Ryan’s nightmares and taunted him wherever he went was the second half of his own.
He really ought to have learned to read the terms and conditions.
OR, Ryan knows only too well that being a Private Detective isn't as cool as it's all made out to be. His pursuit of a certain infamous criminal ends up solving more problems than it creates.
The Shape of Him Stamped Everywhere by miraclesofpaul | E, 42K, complete
Prince Ryan of Nueva California grew up lonely. As the first publicly out royal in the American Union, he signs up for an arranged marriage and gets matched with Shane Madej. It seems impossible that they’ll even manage to be friends at first, but with time and effort (and the Shyan Love Campaign by PR genius Steven Lim), they find themselves growing closer every day.
share your address by idkspookystuff | E, 4K, complete
It’s never fun when you wake up to your head pounding out of your skull after a night you can’t remember. It’s even worse when you wake up to someone chanting “shit, shit, shit!”
-
when shane and ryan get a little too drunk on a weird, wonderful world shoot, they find out they got married and it's all over the internet. a few weeks later, ryan learns he's pregnant. the plan? pretend to be a married couple. easy enough to do with feelings, right?
courtship for dummies by icantturnthisthingoff | E, 18K, complete
“I have a question to ask, how well do you know Lord Shane Madej?” Steven asks.
Ryan has a think. “Not very well truthfully, we have only really met in passing. Why do you ask?”
“Because he has announced his intention to court you.” Steven reveals.
an a/b/o nobility au that nobody asked for.
The Prince's Sneakers by petitfangs | E, 4K, on-going
A classic fairytale about a prince and a demon. There’s foolish royal decrees, magical caterpillars, enchanted creatures and some good old-fashioned smut. Read at your own peril.
if you enjoy, consider leaving a comment or a kudo! authors appreciate it!

Happy Valentine’s Day tumblr. As I did last year, I am going to post some new-ish Shyan fic recs in honor of the day.
ghost spots by uneventfulhouses 65k Rated E - a gorgeous coming of age story inspired by Call Me By Your Name, it will leave you breathless with young love and self-discovery. And so very sexy.
The Last Days of the Bergara Gang by PhyllisDietrichson 41k Rated E - COWBOY AU COWBOY AU. I fucking love western/cowboy AUs and this one might be my favorite in the fandom? Hard to choose but it’s absolutely in the running. I love Phyllis’s AUs, especially how she integrates their real life references or nicknames into the stories. Did I mention this one has my beloved hurt/comfort as well?
The Shape of Him Stamped Everywhere by MiraclesofPaul 42k Rated E - Royalty/arranged marriage au!!! C’mon!!! it’s so good, I love the world building in this one and the slow burn of Ryan and Shane opening up to each other.
Ten Moons by breathtaken 25k Rated E - I love AUs where the author has clearly done so much research and taken so much time and care into dropping these characters into these new worlds. Aly is one of the best at this and I think it’s why I keep revisiting this particular fic of hers. Heed the tags, but it’s still a wonderfully romantic story.
know that you’ll be my downfall by pleasurecouch 3k Rated E - if you’re looking for something short and steamy, look no further than this sexting fic. A+, would read a hundred more.
The Grand Adventures of Suburbia Shane by idkspookystuff 11k Rated E - I love fics that play with gender. Ryan wakes up in a universe where he’s a cis woman married to Shane and it turns his whole thinking upside down.
Read To Me by ouijaboy (nbfutureboy) 18.5k Rated E - Y’all know I’m a sucker for kid fic, so this was always going to be right up my alley. Shane being a children’s author is also just straight to my heartstrings.
Distinguished by colazitron 4.6k Rated E - may I interest you in a very, very, very sexy PWP to end this list? because goddamn.

first kiss
a shyan reclist
to read on the last night of November
oblivion by rocketshiptospace
“So, how long have you and Shane been dating?” Jen asks.
If Ryan had already taken a sip of his coffee, he would’ve done a spit take right now. Instead, he just sends her an incredulous look. “Shane and I are what?”
Or, Ryan and Shane's life would be so much easier if they just talked to each other.
You've Been Starring in My Dreams by drunkkenobi
“Ryan Bergara. You know, about this tall, scared of his own shadow, and loves the Lakers more than life itself. My co-host, that Ryan.”
“You have a co-host? Since when?”
“Since always?” Shane lowered his voice. “Is this for a video? It’s cool, I’ll play along.”
Andrew looked at him like he was growing a second head. “I was going to ask you the same thing. I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Or: Shane goes to work one day and Ryan’s not there. Ryan’s not anywhere.
The Rising Tide by aebleskiver
This is forever, Ryan thinks. Or, rather: I want it to be.
[earlier]
previously: [Oct] [Sep] [Aug] [Jul] [Jun] [May] [Apr] [Mar] [Feb] [Jan]

An Empty Bliss Beyond This World: Chapter 5
It’s like this. Ryan is used to being scared. He pushes himself into the depths of the hallways in his mind and keeps finding more doors, more corners to squeeze the fear into until he can push past it. There’s always more, more of the beige walls that aren’t quite gold, and the musty patterned carpet, and the fear that always finds places to hide. Until there isn’t. So Ryan makes more space. He breaks down the dead–end until he can just pull more out of himself. Get less sleep. Eat less food. Be less scared of the things that go bump in the night.
He’s hitting a wall now. Breaking it. Pushing past it.
New chapter HERE

lmao i love learning about your shyan lore. what fic was it 😭
god. i don't remember one (1) fic top of my head, but in the summer of 2019 i was like, my friend showed me a bfu video and i needed something to read over the summer. i had some books and i downloaded some fics on a shady non-ao3 affiliated app. i'm looking for some of them now, others may have been deleted long since. ao3 history to the rescue: here are the first shyan fics i've ever read
Tempting Fate by Squeakyshroom | 7k
AU where soulmates are real, and Ryan would rather face a demon than the truth.
Or: Shane's patient, until he's not.
You'll See How Good It'll Be In The Coming Year by orphan_account | 9k
Ryan and Shane go to a New Years party for inhumans, then go home.
we found each other hungry by abovetheruins | 9k
He’d laughed with the rest of his friends when they’d seen the billboard advertising the site. They’d all been a little buzzed and high on the adrenaline of another successful semester under their belts, but he’d woken up the next morning with the site’s name poking at his subconscious, and by the end of the day he had created an account and set up a profile.
It wasn’t that he was struggling, per se, but tuition was fucking expensive and he didn’t want his parents to pay for a dime, so he’d buckled down and juggled classes and two part-time jobs to pay for it all, until he’d gotten so used to nights of little to no sleep that the bags beneath his eyes were deep enough to drown in and he was spending most of his waking hours fueled by caffeine and adrenaline and little else. If he had a chance to get compensated for nothing more strenuous than spending some time with a lonely old dude, well, what kind of idiot would he be to pass that up?
The Mysterious Disappearance of Shane Madej by waitforhightide | 13k
The thing about Ryan Bergara was that he didn't trust his own brain.
So when he arrived at the office and asked TJ if he’d seen Shane yet, and TJ said, “Who?” Ryan’s reaction was first to look around for cameras, and second, for Shane. For the reality check, for the affirmation that TJ had said what Ryan himself had heard.
Better Than Being Hung Up By The Thumbs by orphan_account | 3k
Shane's stance on being hung from his thumbs versus being spanked has changed somewhat.
You Make the World Seem Bigger by beethechange | 40k
The creature stirs. She squirm-drags herself down until she’s on Ryan’s belly, and then she noses at the pocket of his hoodie. Ryan gently tucks her in so only her head is visible, and they both watch as she sighs happily and burrows into the warmth.
Ryan looks up at him, beaming. It is, Shane has to admit, very cute.
“Ryan Bergara, Father of Goat-Dragons,” Shane says. “I can’t believe she already likes you best.”
“Yeah, well,” Ryan says. “You tried to name her Snooki and turn her over to the state of California, so you reap what you sow.”
OR: Ryan and Shane film a Supernatural episode in the Pine Barrens on the elusive Jersey Devil. They don’t manage to find it, but a few months after filming, one definitely finds them. And it’s decided they’d make great adoptive parents.
there were several deleted works in here ;-; but here's at least some of baby me discovering shyan haha <3 NOW TELL ME YOURS

Shippers & Readers, we're at it again
Ever wonder about the fics that don’t make it through the final round of voting for the bi-weekly read in the book club? You’re in luck!
The book club is structured so that we solicit nominations from our members, either based on a theme or a trope or simply a request for their favorites, and develop a list of ten nominations, which are then narrowed down to a top three. The top three fics end up in our weekend vote and the winner of that vote becomes our book club fic for that week.
This week was us overlooking the broad landscape of the middle of March where once upon a time, many of us looked forward to a little reprieve within the scope of Spring Break and all the fun times it entails. The request to our members was a return to a theme that once gave us a really fun banger of a read. Drunk in Love. We wanted shyan tipsy and confessing. Of our titles with this theme, we had two runners-up and we just want to highlight them.
Three Many Spirits - fullofbees
Please drink responsibly.
Bad Ideas - Fraudgara
Shane’s fingers curled tighter so he would stop shaking. Ryan pulled away, drew back slowly, and pushed Shane’s hands back, off his hips gently. “Baaaad idea,” he mumbled, licking his lips and shutting his eyes as he extricated himself. “This is a bad idea.”
Ryan didn’t get it, and Shane was left behind in a moment, trying to figure out in a drunken stupor, how best to tell Ryan that those were the ideas Shane liked the most.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN US FOR OUR NEXT DISCUSSION? CHECK OUT THE FAQ, AND SEND US AN ASK! IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR FIC RECS, PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR READS, NOMINEES AND BOOK CLUB REC LISTS!

Hello Jess it's time for fun fic authors self rec! Kindly tell us your favorite five fics you've written, then pass this on to spread the self-love ❤️
Oh! Thank you beloved.
♦ 'Cause This is Devotion - Ten/Rose, Bad Wolf!Rose, 4.6k, M
“You do not get to die on me now, you daft alien, not after I’ve been through so goddamn much to get back to you.”
Rose sits up to pound her fist into his chest.
“Fucking breathe, damn you,” she swears, and when no one says anything to stop her, she pounds the Doctor’s chest again. She wonders if she can break his ribs the way she could break a man’s. There’s no one left to ask now, not with him so still, so silent; splayed across the asphalt like a puppet with his strings cut. His face is slack, eyes closed and mouth parted.
OR: The Doctor dies in the road, and Rose Tyler tells the universe no.
One night, @zjofierose and I were spelunking through our WIP folders and I found the skeleton of this and it sparked something inside of me and I immediately desired to finish it. I love Bad Wolf!Rose, I love creating actions that have far-reaching consequences we do not explore on the page, I love writing Doctor/Rose angst.
♦ Rush Light - Jaskier/Yennefer, canon-adjacent, post-s2, 22k, E
He’d been headed back from the taverns down by the wharf, having done a tour of the establishments to see if one would take him on for the weekend, when he’d seen it: a flash of purple in the light of a street lamp, swiftly followed by several large men in dark clothes.
Something had turned over in the bottom of his stomach at the sight. Even if it wasn’t who he thought it might be, this wasn’t a neighbourhood for someone with the kind of coin to afford a cloak that colour to be wandering around in. So, against his mostly better judgement, Jaskier had let himself turn down the selfsame alley, steps slowing so as not to arrive as a too hasty surprise.
He creeps forward, glad of the rushing rain as it muffles his footsteps. Some people also forget that he is quite capable of being quiet when needs must.
Very good that he did go to this trouble after all; he hears her before he gets close enough to see them.
“Get the fuck off me!” she snarls, and oh, Jaskier would know that voice anywhere.
In which a sorceress gets herself into a spot of bother, and Jaskier happens to be in the area. It's all rather more serious than he expects.
I finished s2 of The Witcher and immediately descended into my google drive with forty ideas and this was the one that floated to the top. I love this fic. I had so much fun writing it. It gave me back my fantasy voice, it reminded me that I can write things that are fully for my own self and that other people will also enjoy them, and it was fun as hell to do a bunch of silly research for this.
♦ Signal Fire - Prodigal Son gen!fic, Malcolm Bright-centric, post-series finale, 2.8k, M
Dani’s footsteps crunch over brittle and drying grass as she approaches. Her weapon is still up. Sunlight glints off the barrel. “Bright?” she asks.
Malcolm doesn't look down.
I got into Prodigal Son before realising that it didn't have an ending and when I got through to the end of what we got, I was left with so many questions. None of them are answered in this fic, but I did reaffirm the love I have for whumping the pretty boy.
♦ For Your Eyes Only - Shyan, 007 AU, 6.2k, E
The door to the elevator opens and Shane's stomach sinks. He’d know the breadth of those shoulders anywhere.
“Moneypenny!” Ryan crows, as he sweeps towards Shane’s desk. Shane thinks wistfully of the long rice noodles and sweet-spicy sauce he has been dreaming about all week. Mr Daeng’s Tom Yum would also have been such a nice addition to Shane’s fridge for the weekend.
“Don’t call me that,” Shane says, and regrets it immediately.
OR: It's Bergara. Ryan Bergara, and he'll have his martini shaken, not stirred. Shane, on the other hand, manages M's calendar with an iron fist and has no time for nonsense. Or does he?
This fic is so sexy, if I do say so myself. It's got spies, it's got a little violence, it's got the author's kink discovery in the middle of it. What's not to love?
This Tornado Loves You - Shyan, Storm Chasers AU, 22k, E
“Thing’s a fuckin’ monster,” TJ says into the phone, “you should be able to see it now.”
Shane turns to look out the truck window. The sky is black, and around him, the corn tops are still. Nothing moves. The air feels terrifyingly full. Shane looks under the storm. It takes him a moment, but then he sees it, backlit by a flash of lightning.
All the hair stands up on the back of Shane’s neck.
Or: Shane Madej is a serious scientist, not just some yahoo with a camera and a death wish. Ryan, on the other hand, has a camera and a plan.
When they said write what you know, I took them at their word and wrote 22k about storms and chasing them and filled it full of weather and romance and the kind of proposal I might even say yes to, if it ever happened to me in the future.
#jess answers#thechaoscryptid#am writing#anyway these are just five of my favourites#i have way more than five

Fic Rec Friday
Edition 32
Welcome to Fic Rec Friday! With this series, we're aiming to make a contribution to fic reading and engagement within the Shyan fandom by publishing a periodic recs list containing fics selected by our members. So sit back with a tasty beverage of your choice and welcome in the weekend with this week's selection - and feel free to like and reblog this post to spread the word!
Light My Way by breathtaken
Complete | 31k words
He remembers Ryan in his body, Ryan in his head, and he doesn’t know any spells to help him get over that.
open all your doors by apologeticallybourgeois
Complete | 8k words
Shane was almost sure that Ryan didn’t actually cast a spell for it to happen, if only because the price he’d have to pay would probably be counted in, like, human limbs instead of a couple of small animals.
The Genius of the Western River by Siria
Complete | 14k words
Shane’s totally working on being flippant about all those times he joked about Ryan’s godlike physique, never suspecting how true those jokes might be—the two of them just have to defeat a supernatural serial killer first. (A Rivers of London fusion AU.)
Your Heart Inside of Mine by MiraclesofPaul
Complete | 51k words
They're placed into the Witness Protection Program after a bomb was found on the set of Unsolved. The only way to stick together is to lie and say they’re engaged. Years go by. Things change. Things transform.
Dancing With A Stranger by breathtaken
WIP | 20k words
“I find myself in need of a private investigator.”
Ryan almost laughs.
If their positions were reversed, he doesn’t think he would have come here if Shane were the last private investigator in Los Angeles.
waiting for the sunlight by sarcasticfishes
Complete | 18k words
Sara had always known, growing up as both an only child and a princess, that she would likely not marry for love.
accidentally, the whole thing by Matriaya
Complete | 5k words
Shane knows it’s illogical, that there are twenty thousand other explanations for the noise Ryan made and the way the sound of shifting fabric is now issuing out of his phone’s speaker.
He sucks in a breath as he tries to parse what to do next, but it evaporates in his lungs when he hears it. His own name.
“Shane.”
it was all by design (cause i’m a mastermind) by Anonymous
Complete | 7k words
His connection with Shane is something he can’t ignore or deny, which only means one thing: Ryan has to go out of his way to make this guy a permanent part of his life.
My Heart's a Honeytone by Anonymous
Complete | 7k words
Shane is in quite the predicament. Upon consulting new evidence, it turns out that ghosts are totally real.
Also, he was in a devastating car accident and never told Ryan how he feels and now it's too late, but holy shit, ghosts are real. He's gotta at least find a way to tell Ryan that.

😭 Have you ever made yourself cry writing a fic?
✏️ what's your favorite fic from another writer?
😭 Have you ever made yourself cry writing a fic?
*sighs* Yeah. Yeah, I have. More than once. Mostly when it's a really large project I've been working on and I come to the end of it. I definitely cried in the last chapter of Set the World Alight, not only because it was such a huge undertaking, but also because it was so close to home personally and also a return to my roots of my original novels. Matty hearing her true name be read was so important to me and so was ending everyone's story on a happy note.
I also made myself cry with All the Pieces Used to Fit, but that was because I was so fucking mad at the season 2 finale of Scorpion and processed through it with the fic. And because of tequila.
~
✏️ what's your favorite fic from another writer?
OH NO.
Oh god I'm so old I've read so many fics. Okay. What a question.
So, there's this Pernicobeth fic from WAY back in the day and I can't remember who the author was, or what the title is, but it has stuck with me for years. Since I know zero details other than "fic good," I will continue with a few good classics. Also, I need more wrestlefics to be made into podfics because that's my favorite way to fall asleep.
Stucky - this city bleeds its aching heart
Shyan - that first, initial feeling
I keep getting distracted by rereading wrestlefics HELP okay so the LHOP AU by @sarahcakes613 makes me short circuit multiple times per word, What Happens in Cancun Stays in Cancun by @scissormedaddyass was an absolute MIRACLE of a fic, and I read Paper Cranes and Plastic Planes by kawx on an airplane which was a mistake because I almost cried and had a fit mid-flight because I was so mad at Mox. Help this fandom has so many good fics my brain it no can choose.
EDIT HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE HOW DID I FORGET BABYDOM/COWBOY SUB BY YOU WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT IT brain no worky soup brain go wibblebibbleblerp
Also anything in my "fic recs" tag here on tumblr, of course.

What are your favorite long (20k+ words) shyan fics? Could you recommend a few, please?
Oh boy oh boy, you have absolutely come to the right place.
collapse in threads by sky_somedays is at 20,179 words and begs the question of what exactly the boys would do if they suddenly developed superpowers and also were in love? A very recent read for me, and features in my Halloween Rec List. [canonverse]
Light Metaphors by sohapppily is one of my favourite fics in fandom - it feels incredibly real, and is written beautifully. Written entirely from Ryan's perspective as he pines for a Shane who is in a relationship. Gorgeous angst, with a happy ending. Clocks in at about 68k. [canonverse]
The Thrilling Case of the Mysterious Five by MiraclesofPaul really works for me because I fucking lock the cryptid academia vibes of early Unsolved Ryan and I absolutely feel like we as a fandom did not play with that more, but this fic ABSOLUTELY does that. Accurate tags are accurate when they called this "x-files au if you squint" and i love it. Sits at 57k.
Like Wildfire by makemadej (santamonicayachtclub) is 20k words of a really unique take on Shane, who gets himself (and Ryan) into shenanigans by not being super adept at the heart to brain to mouth filter. Also features a brand new kink that possibly only exists in this fandom. [canonverse]
pendulum by soyul is 150k of a paranormal detective AU and it's incredibly underrated for how HOOKED I was throughout the entirety of it.
Ancient Magical Wishing Well Verse features two things people are sometimes iffy with, which is the 'woke up with different bits' trope and mpreg, but at 36k words its honestly amazing and deserves so much love. [canonverse]
This Tornado Loves You by sequence_fairy. The thing about BFU/Watcher is that I honestly believe it should have a lot more 'niche interests' AU, because Shane and Ryan are absolutely kings of niche interests, and even though I don't think Ryan has even ever experienced a tornado I just think they'd be proud of 22k tornado chasers fic. It fits their vibe.
Edge of Town by Justspookythingz, which I read because it was labeled 'midwestern gothic' and I like gothic anything. A very creepy story about Shane and Ryan being stuck in a weird town. You can see that I got into BFU because I love the creepy and the eerie. [canonverse] (but is mostly a horror)
not always from the sky by yellowhalcyon - 30k and very hard to describe, but it features aliens and demons, Ryan house-sitting in the desert, my usual love of The Weird and, as usual, Shane and Ryan falling in love.
Want You In My Court by Ourladyofresurrection. I recced this in my recent bottom Bergara rec list but I want to re-highlight it because it got me to read a university AU and as you can see by the above recs I'm more of a ... not of this world type of fic fan. But it features phone sex operator Shane rocking Ryan's world and then they do a group project together and fall in love, in that order.
Oh, Ye Of Little Faith by youvebeenscuppered. Was aiming for ten but I thought I recced too many AUs and not enough set in the canon verse! This one was fun and sexy and features a Mysterious Box that Shane is desperate to get inside of (but maybe not as desperate as he is to get inside of Ryan, heyo!) [canonverse]

Hiii <3 do you have any demon!Shane fic recommendations?
hello! sorry it's been a minute but we've finally gathered some of our members' favorite demon shane fics for you!
fics marked with an ‘♦️’ are written by our server members, can have been written before or after they joined 💙
♦️ Hell and High Water by ouijaboy | T, 5K, ongoing
“I’m telling you, there’s something evil downstairs.”
“And I’m telling you that there’s something disgustingly holy upstairs,” Shane retorts, “but what else is new? It’s been years, Ryan. I really do think they’ve forgotten about us.”
- 𓆩✧𓆪 -
When Steven Lim moves his restaurant into a strange industrial block, all manner of prophecies and switcheroos start creeping into the forefront. Luckily, Steven’s managed to team up with an angel and demon duo… And they might even be halfway capable at saving the world. (Hopefully without bickering each other to death.)
A Good Omens AU. In progress.
Speak No Evil by drunkkenobi | T, 4K, complete
It was boring, sitting in the silence, waiting for any kind of noise. Everything was amplified, from the movement of their clothes to the various bugs chirping outside. Ryan’s heartbeat was loudest of them all, even in the relative quiet. He closed his eyes, repeating his mantras.
I am not my fear. I am not my fear. I am not my fear.
“Then what are you?”
For You Are With Me by goatman_entrapment | T, 36K, complete
“I’m telling you right now if my eyes turn black, murder me.”
“And I’m telling you right now, I will not kill you.”
“Why?!”
“Because I need to save you!”
Or: Shane finally gets possessed by a demon and it's not as fun as anyone wants it to be.
The Worst Demon Ever by drunkkenobi | E, 67K, complete
Shane is so bad at being a demon that he fell in love with his best friend. When he purposefully leaves evidence in an episode of Unsolved, Hell decides to punish him the best way they know how: by going after Ryan.
One True Weakness by blacktofade | E, 6K, complete
Shane steals Ryan's soul, but promises it isn't anything personal.
And I Was Never Afraid of the Dark (Oh, the Weapon You Made of My Heart) by sequence_fairy | M, 9K, unfinished
Shane pulls Ryan out of Hell at 3:37 on a Tuesday afternoon.
He’s not looking at his watch at the time, but he infers the time later after he’s finally managed to get up off the desert floor, and has hauled them both back to the car he’d parked in the lot at the trailhead a little over a week ago.
Ryan’s a deadweight in Shane’s grip, head lolling back against Shane’s shoulder and body limp and unhelpful in Shane’s arms. His eyes are closed.
Or: Demon!Shane WIP, unfinished.
defiant acts of creation by anarchetypal | M, 2K, complete
Ryan finds out Shane is Not Traditionally of This World, and that’s— that’s fine, really, when it’s all said and done. Adult life is already so goddamn weird; Ryan feels like he’s prepared to let most anything roll off his back, so. Demons. Sure. As long as Shane’s not going to drag him to hell or eat his soul or whatever it is demons do, Ryan’s fine to keep working with him and having popcorn-and-movie nights with him and tumbling into bed with him.
He’ll fuck a demon. Whatever.
Except Shane says he’s not a demon.
If It Brings Me To My Knees by orphan_account | T, 10K, complete
The boys make a detour to Satan's Hollow while in Ohio. A last minute trip that proves itself more dangerous than anyone could have ever expected. It's there that secrets are revealed and two lives are changed forever.
I'm clean out of air in my lungs by Hauntings | T, 16K, complete
Ryan and Shane have been moving around something that is coming to a head between them. After a car accident, on the way to an investigation, Ryan slowly starts to become suspicious that Shane might not be what he seems. He realizes, though, that he just might not care.
there's no use getting down by orphan_account | G, 2K, complete
ryan accidentally summons a demon while making a sandwich
or, the one where shane madej is the cutest little demon that's ever existed, and ryan just wants a hug.
The Devil's In The Details by chaoskiddeer | T, 87K, complete
Shane had never thought too hard about taunting ghosts and demons. But it only takes one badly placed joke to invite in something that is better off left alone. His and Ryan’s comfortable friendship is going to be tested to its limits when a demon unleashes a storm of uncertainties into both of their lives, and lies pile up on both sides. One thing’s for certain: Once the storm passes, his and Ryan’s relationship will never be the same again.
i carry your heart with me by abovetheruins | T, 4K, complete
“You… got me a dog?” Ryan looks more confused than displeased, which Shane counts as a win in his favor.
“Yep,” he answers, popping the ‘p’ and grinning as Ryan’s face scrunches up in annoyance. “You’ve been saying that you wanted one and she kind of… fell into my lap, so. Felt like a sign.”
Ryan laughs. “A sign, huh?” He’s playing at nonchalance but Shane can tell he’s curious now. “What does she look like?”
Shane bites his lip, recalling the red-eyes he’d had to magic away and the mouthful of teeth that would only grow sharper as she grew older. “She’s a little angel, Ry,” he fibs.
♦️Call it Magic when I'm with You by punk_rock_yuppie | T, 2K, complete
In a world where magical creatures exist, three dudes are just trying to live their best life. Together.
Myliobatoidei by izzyspussy | T, 1K, complete
“I am not a demon,” Shane insists. There, in his bathrobe, with his horns and scales and pitch black eyes, Shane insists that.
Point of No Return by saturdayskeptic | T, 1K, complete
In hindsight, Shane probably should have known better than to walk back to his apartment by himself after a night out drinking, but hindsight is 20/20. No amount of thinking back on what he could have done, what he should have done, would help him in his current predicament.
An Idiots Guide to Coming Into Your Demonic Powers and Social Standing by snapdragonpop007 | T, 35K, ongoing
Written by Shane Madej, Owner of Alton Bridge, Seventh Duke of Hell and Advisor to Lord Satan, Our Majesty,
Edited by Ryan Bergara,
and translated into Enochian by Lord Beelzebub, First Duke of Hell and Advisor to Lord Satan, Our Majesty
(Enochian copy only available in the Seventh Circle of Hell, by request only)
Lead us not into temptation by Agf | E, 6K, complete
"It's obviously a demon thing. And I know you're on board with the eyes and the horns and the-" Shane waves a hand over himself, "-but this is different. This is me, specifically getting off on the thought of corrupting your soul."
Look, having a demon boyfriend and not roleplaying demonic sex just kind of seems like a waste, leftover Catholic guilt notwithstanding.
if you enjoy, consider leaving a comment or a kudo! authors appreciate it!

MADEJ: The fun part about that is, anytime Ryan and I are sort of figuring out an aesthetic thing that Ryan always voices of what I'm thinking, and then I bring visuals to him, and he is like, yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of.
BERGARA: Yeah. It's great.
MADEJ: It's pretty sweet.

My #1 post of 2022
Thinking today about two guys who only met because of a number of vaguely absurd circumstances. How one of them was older, but graduated college during the Great Recession and couldn’t find an adult job for years, so when he applied to the BuzzFeed internship, he was 4 or 5 years older than everyone else in his class. And how the other one was supposed to be a cinematographer, but took a chance on something else when the grip life wasn’t cutting it. How neither of them expected to last that long at Buzzfeed, one sure he would get fired for being slow and meticulous, the other assuming he’d cut and run and/or get fired if he didn’t pull unpaid overtime. How they ended up at the same set of desks. How movie trailers got the one to open up. How the other one was, quite literally, not there to make friends. How they became friends anyway. How the one took a simple idea and made it into a five minute video on the Somerton Man with his carpool buddy. How he then asked the other to fill in when the carpool buddy got transferred. How the other one had a free calendar to film a video about the Illuminati. How he kept having a free calendar to go ghost hunting in a mystery house, a terrible island of dolls and spiders, and a unassuming Kansas home. How one of them screaming at a flashlight and the other one laughing changed both their lives forever. How they took an oath to keep doing this with no one but each other. How they took a leap of faith and bet on themselves to start something new with the smartest person they knew. How their timing was cosmically horrible, launching this new thing right as the world shut down. How they persevered when it seemed like it might all end at any second. How they grew their little company, in fits and starts, until they finally got on stable land. How they didn’t even wait before ending their original ghost hunting series to start planning a new one. One where they could make all the rules. And how after months of planning and shooting and editing, that new series is here. And it’s bigger than either of them imagined. How shocked they are that thousands of people have come to see them, how dozens have flown across states and countries to celebrate with them, how millions have watched this show that they’re so proud of. How for the first time, their company has breathing room. How they can finally exhale. How all the hard work and long hours are paying off. How this is just the beginning.
Yeah, I’d be smiling like that too.
