Fic Rec Friday Edition 34

Welcome to Fic Rec Friday!

Dancing With a Stranger by breathtaken WIP | 26k 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.

even a wolf knows how to be polite by uneventfulhouses Complete | 23k words

“You busy this weekend?” Ryan turns to look at Shane, who doesn't seem to be very busy at all. Without looking up from his phone, Shane shakes his head. “Wanna go for a drive?” “Where are we going?” Shane asks, looking up then, bright brown irises behind those clear framed glasses. His hair is pushed back but there’s that one lock of hair that falls delicately over Shane’s forehead. Shane pushes up the sleeves of his blue-tinged button up; Ryan watches the effortless sweeping motion before looking up to meet Shane’s eyes. “Up north,” Ryan says, biting down on his lip, feeling sheepish. “You like werewolves, right?” Shane gives him a look, pure disdain in his eyes. Ryan can’t help but grin.

Shane steps off-camera and gives her a thumbs up. Ryan squares her shoulders and clears her throat. When Annie gives the signal, she reads from the teleprompter the words that took her over thirty-one years to speak. “Hi. I’m Ryan Bergara and I’m a transgender woman.”

Don't Forget To LycanSubscribe by breathtaken Complete | 24k words

Shane looks up and nearly swallows his tongue as he finds himself face-to-face with Ryan from LycanSubscribe. The YouTube channel that’s consumed most of Shane’s leisure time and pretty much all his waking thoughts for the past two weeks, not to mention a couple of vaguely guilty jerk-off sessions. Ryan’s wearing a white T-shirt with a pair of sunglasses hooked onto the neck and there’s a stray lock of hair curling over his forehead, and he’s even more startlingly attractive in the flesh—which in Shane’s opinion is saying something. He says, “Hi, can I get a—” “Grande iced chai latte,” Shane blurts out, before he can stop himself.

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.”
