Summary
He’s so distracted that when the door to his room opens, he startles, whipping around to see Willow entering the room with so little fanfare, you would think they haven’t been absent basically all week.
“You missed dinner,” Koulton says. It comes out colder than he wants, the edges of his words sharp with the bitterness that’s been building up all week.
Willow stops and stares at him, head tilting slightly as they try to read into Koulton’s expression.
“I was in the workshop,” Willow says, ears twitching as they try to determine why Koulton’s responding the way that he is.
“Yeah, I know.” Koulton wants to turn back to his desk, pretend to finish up some paperwork and ignore Willow the way they’ve been ignoring him. He can’t seem to make himself do it though. “You’ve been pretty busy in there all week, with your special project. Care to share what it is? Or am I still not allowed to know?”
“It’s a gift,” Willow says, pulling a box out of their pockets. They shuffle forward cautiously, approaching Koulton where he’s still at the desk. “For you, actually.”

Summary
This was a joke that turned into an actual twitter-fic - there is no real plot but it is canon adjacent (like all of the canon things have happened as they did in canon but twitter just also exists). I don't know how much more will be added but it's all just for fun anyway.
Chapter 1 features angst and drinking (leading to ANGST) and is probably set during pre-stream (there is no exact timeline but pre-stream or early stream makes a lot of sense).
Chapter 2 features silly, lighthearted drama and fun and is mostly just characters in situations and shenanigans. It's mostly all during the Metanoia Blues Resonance time period but there are some earlier (like Bruno and Willow drinking or Orkan joining the SC) but none of that really matters that much.
There will certainly be more to come but I'm just not sure what it'll be about because its not plot just shenanigans in this fic!

Summary
A series of loosely connected vignettes following the end of Episode 23 that centres on Willow and Koulton's... relationship?
Just some speculation of moments that I thought would be fun to explore to make myself feel better about episode 23s ending <3

Lines that Linger - Metanoia Blues by Neversleepingalwaysdreaming
Fandom Metanoia Blues (Web Series)
03 Mar 2025
Summary
There are times when a character delivers a line that seems simple enough in itself but it lingers in my mind and replays on a loop because there was something else to it, there is more to what was said. There is a weight behind the things we say and by god I'm going to try to figure out what else those lines could mean.
Essentially, the times that the Metanoia Blues crew deliver a line so good that I become simply a vessel for the story to be written.

Summary
We could talk about what the fuck Shane sees in you.
Ilya is still thinking about it hours later. In Shane’s dark bedroom, with the man in question snoring softly beside him, Ilya can’t let Hayden’s comment at dinner go.
In the moment, he didn’t process the jab as anything more than an excuse to take a cheap shot right back at Hayden. But now that the dust has settled on his first official conversation with Shane’s best friend, Ilya can’t forget the snide remark.
It’s not the first time someone questioned why someone like Ilya would be like someone with Shane. The first time anyone ever saw them as a couple, Shane’s dad made a comment about Shane being unable to find any ‘nice boys in Montreal’. Sure, they were still reeling from the shock of Ilya being more than a hockey player that runs his mouth more than not, but Ilya understands the implication. He is not a ‘nice boy’, not the kind of man that Shane deserves.

Summary
“I did not … know what happened. You touched over my pants, kissed my stomach. Went into my lap.” Ilya gestures with his free hand like he’s grasping for a word he can’t find, just out of reach. “Something was different.”
Shane can’t say he remembers all that in as much clarity as Ilya does – the whole day is a bit of a blur in his mind.
“We were having fun afternoon. Sex and naps and talking. And then I touched your hair and you went somewhere. Scared me, a little bit.”
Blinking and still not understanding, Shane repeats, “I went somewhere?”
Reaching over, Ilya picks up the booklet. One handed, he holds it against his thigh and flips to a page around halfway through with the word Subspace in bold at the top. He taps it with his forefinger. “Went here, I think.”
Shane experiences a sub-drop without knowing what's happening. Ilya doesn't know either, so he makes it his mission to find out.

Summary
Two years of playing together, and it still hit him every time. The casualness of it. My husband. Said out loud, in public. After years of hiding—stolen moments in hotel rooms, careful distance in public, the constant exhausting performance of just teammates, just rivals, nothing to see here—now Ilya could say it like it was nothing. Like it was easy, like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Because it was. Finally.
In which Ilya Hollander-Rozanov cannot shut up about his husband. (Subtitled: No one asked, Ilya. Ilya. No one asked.)

Summary
“Hey, listen, I know you keep denying that you have a girl here in Boston, but we both know you're lying. You've been seeing her for years. Why don't we text her? Maybe you can spend the night with her at her place or something.”
Shane frowns. What's Hayden even talking about? “Don't have a girl,” he mumbles.
“Shane,” Hayden says, his voice firmer now. “I’m gonna text Lily.”
Shane's eyes widen at that name, only now understanding what Hayden's talking about. Because he might not have a girl in Boston, but-
“No, you can't text Lily.”
__________Shane gets drugged at a club. Ilya takes care of him.

Summary
He goes to the fridge to look for the bell peppers, and while he’s in there, he says, “It was a good first kiss. As far as I could tell. I hadn’t really kissed anyone before.” He takes an orange bell pepper from the bag his mom brought over and brings it over to the counter. “Not anyone I really wanted to kiss anyway.” He cuts the top and bottom off the pepper and then works on cutting out the seeds. “Ilya’s a good kisser,” he adds. And he can’t believe he’s just said that out loud to his mom.
Shane and Ilya's dinner with Shane's parents at his house following the end of episode six.
