“I’m your last resort,” Ryan says with a laugh, but the look Shane shoots him stops it almost immediately.

“You were our first choice,” he admits, voice low and even, and Ryan knows he’s telling the truth. “We tried to keep you out of this, because we didn’t want to be the ones to drag you back into something you hated.”

“Dream sharing?” Ryan asks and Shane shrugs.

“And our relationship.”

Fic: Busy Doing the Devil’s Work

Shyanara, NC-17, Inception AU, 16k Written as part of the Shyanara Fest 2020 @ebonybow is currently hosting and the @rarebuzzships polyam month fest.

*

On Tuesday night, halfway through an episode of Law & Order, Ryan’s phone starts buzzing its way across the coffee table. The number on the screen shows as restricted, but there’s only ever one kind of call that comes in that way.

“Hello?” Ryan answers, using one hand to mute the TV.

The person on the other end of the line hesitates, like they weren’t expecting him to pick up. “Ryan?”

Ryan leans forward. It’s not a voice he’s heard in over six years, but it’s still familiar.

“Ryan,” the voice says again. “It’s Shane.”

“Shane,” Ryan repeats and Shane apparently misinterprets his tone as a question.

“Yeah. Shane Madej.”

Ryan doesn’t try to correct him. Instead, he says, “Hey, man. It’s been a while.”

 Sara closes the book with a gentle sigh and reaches to put it away back in Shane’s nightstand. She went through his favorites, the ones he keeps besides his bed, and in a way, it makes her feel closer to him. Thumbing the well-worn pages, trying to guess his favorite parts, if he laughed at this joke, if he cried in the same places.

Shane’s Birthday feat. Ryan and Sara

Here is my contribution to Shyanara Fest 2020! :) Thank you for the opportunity @ebonybow and @rarebuzzships to write about my favorite people!

If Ao3 is your preference, here is a link!

Shane’s Birthday feat. Ryan and Sara

This was all stupid, the anxiety over a birthday that he has celebrated with Shane for years, but Ryan couldn’t help it. Every year since they were in Test Friends, he and Shane celebrated Shane’s birthday with a birthday coffee, birthday lunch, and a small birthday present. 

But this year was different, because, well, he wasn’t celebrating Shane’s birthday as just his best friend anymore; he was celebrating his birthday as one of his partners too.

Shane, Sara, and Ryan.

It was all so new and Ryan wasn’t always confident in his footing in their relationship. As the months passed and he was able to kiss and hold and spend more time with Shane and Sara, his confidence grew. It was like being their best friend still, but different. Which made the whole idea of celebrating a birthday more complicated because Shane and Sara were all about traditions and their traditions were all established after years of being together.

As an outsider, he was enamored by their love, their traditions, their life together. But as an insider? As someone who is now included in this relationship intimately? It was overwhelming. What if what Ryan had planned (or not planned because his overwhelming thoughts wouldn’t allow him to even think about it) interfered with what Sara had planned? What if Sara didn’t want to share Shane with him on his actual birthday?

“What if…? What if…? What if…?” was constantly intruding his thoughts and Ryan couldn’t stand it anymore. 

“Hey Sar?” Ryan whispered early one morning as Shane was puttering around the kitchen and Ryan and Sara hadn’t made it out of bed yet.

“Yeah?” Sara whispered back, rolling over so she was facing Ryan.

Whispering felt ridiculous, but Ryan was feeling anxious and he didn’t want Shane to hear. And Sara was adamant (rightly so) that whenever Ryan was having any kind of feelings, he needed to let them know. 

“I’m having feelings,” he blurted out, wincing and rolling to his back so he could cover his eyes with his forearm. Like this, he was less likely to see Sara react to his ridiculousness. He held his breath for a moment and then exhaled slowly. He did that two more times before he felt Sara nestle her head on his chest. Her wild morning curls tickled his chin, but Ryan didn’t brush them away.

“Take your time.” Sara rubbed his chest soothingly.

“So...Shane’s birthday is coming up.” Sara hummed in the affirmative. “And--and I’ve noticed that you two have a lot of traditions.” Sara hummed again. “I--uhh--I don’t fit in all the time? I don’t know--”

Sara sat up and pulled Ryan’s arm away from his eyes. “You fit in,” she said firmly. “But if you don’t feel like you do, we need to fix that. We, as in Shane and I, not you.”

Ryan exhaled and nodded his head. “Okay.” He knew this might need to be discussed again in the future. He was still so new at this. He didn’t want to mess up. “But,” he began, rolling to his side. Sara slid down and mirrored him. “I--what--what are we doing?”

“For his birthday?”

“Yeah.”

“What do you normally do?”

Ryan couldn’t help the flush that covered his cheeks. “I usually get him coffee with fancy art on the top. And then lunch, his choice. After lunch, I give him a present. Last year I got him that scarf.”

“The green one,” Sara said, tucking an errant curl behind her ear. “He loves that scarf.” Ryan couldn’t help his bashful smile as he glanced at Sara before looking away. He scratched at the bridge of his nose. “What did you get him this year?”

“Remember when we went to the Mystic Museum?”

Sara was grinning broadly and she nodded her head; Ryan was certain she already knew what he bought. “Shane got distracted when they reopened the museum for the public as we were packing up, so I bought those butterflies in the glass. It was a pain in the ass to hide it from him, but Matty did me a solid and hid it in one of the camera bags.” By the time Ryan finished his little story, Sara was hiding her giggles behind her hand.

“He came home so disappointed when the butterflies were gone. He’ll absolutely love it.” Sara leaned forward and kissed his forehead. “It sounds like you have his birthday tradition figured out. What feelings are you having?”

Ryan shrugged. “What about you? I feel like...I can’t--I don’t want to take away Shane from you? I want it to be--I--” Ryan huffed, frustrated with his anxiety, allowing a frown to pull at his mouth. He rubbed at his nose again, wishing he could get his thoughts out.

“You’re allowed to have your traditions with Shane,” Sara said softly. Ryan sighed as Sara slid her fingers into his hair. “Just like when Shane and I go on dates, or you and Shane, or even sometimes me and you? As long as no one is feeling left out, it’s all okay. I wasn’t bothered by it when it was only Shane and I, and I won’t be bothered by it now, I promise.” She played with his hair until he finally relaxed. “And we can do something together. I would like that a lot, actually.”

Ryan nodded his head, “Thank you.” It felt weird thanking her, but Sara smiled and tucked herself against him again. Ryan shifted back to his back, pulling Sara with him. He ran his hand up and down her spine. “What do you usually do for his birthday?” He felt her giggles before he heard them.

“Morning birthday sex so good we’re always late for work, a homemade birthday card, makeout on the Unsolved set after lunch for seven minutes, and then evening birthday sex so good we have to start early and go to bed early so we can work the next day.” Sara sat up and looked down at Ryan. She tapped the middle of his chest as she said, “We’re lucky his birthday is on a Saturday this year, or else we’d have to figure out the logistics of meeting up for Seven Minutes in Heaven during the work day now that you’re not at Buzzfeed anymore.” Her grin grew even wider as she looked at Ryan mischievously and waggled her eyebrows. “This year is going to be...hot.” She fanned herself, and Ryan laughed.

“I cannot wait to get in on that tradition.”

“Oh, you’ll be getting in alright!”

“Sara!”

Ryan tugged Sara back down to him, and he kissed her, swallowing her giggles. Then he kissed her cheek and forehead when he finally needed air. “Thank you,” he said again, his kisses softer and sweeter the second time around.

“Anytime, Ryan.” She nuzzled against his throat and joined their hands together. “Thank you for talking to me about this, for trusting me when you were anxious.”

Ryan didn’t say anything, just kissed the top of her head and squeezed her fingers. They stayed that way for awhile, Ryan not quite drifting back to sleep but floating between being awake and asleep. He was soothed by Sara’s soft breathing and gentle fingers tracing his hands.

Ryan flinched when he felt a hand on his chest. “Everything alright?” 

It was Shane.

There was silence for a moment, and then Ryan felt the bed shift as Shane sat down by his hip. “Yeah, everything is fine.” Ryan blinked his eyes open, and Shane was looking at him, glasses perched on the end of his nose. 

Ryan reached up and pushed them up before tweaking his nose. “Come lay down and take a nap with us.”

“You don’t need to ask me twice.” Shane kissed Ryan and then Sara before getting comfortable on the bed. As someone who was always aware of how his partners were feeling, Shane immediately latched onto Ryan, covering his and Sara’s hands. “Are you sure you’re alright?”

“Yeah. Peachy. Promise.” Sara leaned over Ryan to kiss Shane right between his brows reassuringly. 

Ryan smiled as Sara dropped a kiss on his forehead before nestling back into his side. Finally at ease, he drifted off with his two favorite people on either side of him.

Ryan nods, looking back over to Shane, stroking his hand up and down over the heat of Shane’s cock, getting him wet with his own pre-come to make the slide so much better. “You okay with that, babe? Wanna let us both fuck you?” he asks.

Shane’s eyes are black and blown when he glances up to look at Ryan, and then at Sara. “More than okay,” he says and his voice is rough, low.

“This isn’t funny,” he whispers. “It’s not funny, Shane. This is the furthest thing from funny.”

“I know it’s not fucking funny,” Shane snaps back. “You’re about to tell me it’s fucking, 2022, or some shit and I’ll lose my goddamn mind.”

“It is 2022,” Ryan rasps, throat tight like he’s about to cry. “And I’ve no idea where you’ve been these last two years, but I have a feeling you don’t either.”

Ryan wants to hug her close again, run his fingers through her hair in the way she likes, but it’s too public, so he settles for asking Shane a bunch of boring questions about their flights until their bags appear on the carousel. He helps Shane grab them and soon, he has Sara’s backpack on his shoulders as he wheels her’s and Shane’s suitcases out to his car. It’s awkward to pull them both (they keep knocking into each other) but he knows how exhausting a long day of international travel is and his two favorite people shouldn’t lug their bags if they don’t have to.

Of course the answer is right in front of their faces.

They take Ryan out for lunch, because that is a perfectly normal and reasonable way to request that a person demolish your girlfriend.

When she glances up again, two sets of dark eyes are looking over to her. "Hey boys," she smiles, giving them a quick one handed wave.

But Sara stepped forward and pulled Ryan down into a soft kiss.

Her hands were gentle against his face, and when they pulled away she looked so very loving Ryan was embarrassed to look at her.

”Tell that to your prince,” she said. “He might bear it better from thee.”

Shane turns to look at her. “You’re going to ruin me before the day’s over. I can feel it.”

“Maybe,” she says, her smile flirtatious. Coquettish. “But it’d only be because you’d want me to.”

Whispering felt ridiculous, but Ryan was feeling anxious and he didn’t want Shane to hear. And Sara was adamant (rightly so) that whenever Ryan was having any kind of feelings, he needed to let them know.

“I’m having feelings,” he blurted out, wincing and rolling to his back so he could cover his eyes with his forearm.

CHAPTER SIX IS UP! COMPLETE

Title: island in the sun (we’ll run away together)

Author: poiregourmande

Pairings: this chapter: mostly Zach/Keith, but a bit of everything

whole fic: Ariel/Becky/Eugene/Keith/Kelsey D./Maggie/Ned/Zach in all combinations; “canon” couples at the beginning + married!Kelgene

Rating: Explicit

Synopsis: It’s not a secret that the guys work too much. Their gals decide they need a vacation - a real one where they don’t make a video about it. A Greek villa with a private beach will do the trick - and maybe replace all that stressful tension with sexual tension.

Words: 1378 (this chapter)

written for @rarebuzzships Poly April!

 Zach’s plan for the day is simple and straightforward: chill on the beach until dinnertime and then hope someone feeds him. Do as little as possible all day — he’s really starting to see the girls’ point in making them unplug for their vacation. He can’t even remember what his email inbox looks like, and it’s a wonderful feeling.

 Zach should have known better than to make plans when Keith Habersberger is around, though. Yes, even if his plans are no plans. Keith has a knack for figuring out exactly what your plans are without even asking you, and dismantling them with a simple “Hey, I got an idea.”

Ryan’s smile has always been sunshine, pure sunshine, but now it’s the kind that you bask in and find out later it’s given you solar keratosis. “It’s not about enough,” she says. “It’s about different.” “You just need someone to take care of you, huh?” Ryan asks. He reaches out to tug on one of her curls, to push it behind her ear, and it makes Shane want to sit on his own hands. “Big guy’s not pulling his weight, so you need a ringer to come in and do the job right?”

He expects it to be Ryan, but pink fingernails tell him it isn’t. He looks over his shoulder to find Mari looking at him, her face close enough that he can see each one of her eyelashes and every freckle that dusts the bridge of her nose.“Hey,” she says. “Are you going to come to bed?” Shane raises his eyebrows. “I’m fine on the couch—” “Shane,” she says, cutting him off. She rescinds her hand, leaning against the seatback of the couch. “Come on, get the light. You can come sleep with us. There’s plenty of space.” Not at all against his will, Shane gets up and shuts off the light in the living room after double checking the front door is locked. Mari takes his hand, lacing their fingers together.

Kelsey and Ryan are an adventurous couple. Not, um, that kind of adventurous. More like the kind that went rock climbing for their two months anniversary. Scuba diving for their six months. CrossFit is a regular date night for them. 

So for their first anniversary, Kelsey wanted something daring, something intense, but also a bit spicy, to change things up a bit. 

At her friend YB’s suggestion, she decides to give poledancing a shot. It seems perfect for active people like them, and Kelsey figures they might learn some tricks they can use outside the class to spice things up.
