I Like Who I’m Becoming

Never spoiler free!!!

I adore that in the hospital Shane's heart rate goes down instead of up when he sees Ilya. I know a racing heart is common around someone you're attracted to but the lower bpm reads as him feeling so comfortable and safe that even his perpetually active sympathetic nervous system calms tf down. And this is when he's actively concussed with a broken bone btw!!! Holding Ilya's hand physically reduces Shane's stress so much his heart rate drops 20bpm and his oxygen saturation goes to 100%. That's insane. Forget whatever medications they had him on Ilya is his drug of choice for sure

the communications intern was sent by the centaurs team players to make a funny video with ilya and they approaches him saying “if you can answer this one question without mentioning shane’s name even once, we’ll give you a prize” and ilya says “okay, doesn’t seem too hard” and the intern gives a mischievous smile and asks “what’s the perfect routine for a good game day?” and ilya begins “first i have to wake up cuddling with—“ and he stops and looks at the intern who has this smug grin on his face and ilya goes “it’s harder than i expected” and the intern replies “the whole team bet you’d lose” and ilya raises an eyebrow and says irritably “then let’s start over” he composes himself and begins “my perfect routine is to wake up in my wonderful bed, then brush my teeth and have a hearty breakfast, go to the gym to work out my muscles, drink a protein shake, then take a shower and go practice hockey with my amazing team whom i love like family” and the intern ends the recording and goes “congratulations, i genuinely didn’t think you’d pull it off” and ilya gasps putting his hand over his heart and goes “do you guys think i’m obsessed with shane?” and the intern’s like “no?” and ilya replies “i am, what’s my prize?” and the intern calls out louder “bring in the prize” and shane wearing a sweatsuit and glasses with his hair still wet from a recent shower enters the room looking confused and ilya sighs and goes “it’s the best prize in the world” and he raises his arms so shane will come closer and hug him, and shane does. ilya buries his face in shane’s stomach and says in a muffled voice “shane, the intern is being mean to me” and shane snorts as he strokes ilya’s curls and looks at the intern who is laughing at the situation, and shane goes “poor big russian man being bullied by a 20-year-old” and ilya lets out a whine “yeah shane, thank goodness you came to my rescue” and he looks up and pouts and shane kisses him and says laughing "let’s go home, you big baby” stepping away from ilya and holding out his hand for him to take so he can stand up and they both say goodbye to the intern. the next day in the locker room the guys start handing shane $10 each, the whole team bet that ilya would lose and shane’s grinning the whole time because he knows his husband is just as competitive as he is.

Shane signs autographs as S. Hollander. He signs legal documents as Shane R. Hollander. The Centaurs get to watch him sign contracts on his first official day with the team and realize that nobody knew he had a middle name. Guessing what it is becomes the team’s favorite pastime.

Chaos, of course, ensues.

“Really Good At Hockey,” Wyatt theorizes jokingly. “Because Mama and Papa Hollander knew the power they created.”

“I’m going with Ridiculously Talented,” Luca pipes up. “Because he’s good at pretty much everything.”

“Down, fanboy,” Bood teases, grinning when the rookie squawks indignantly. “I’d put money on Robin. Shane seems like a Robin.”

Shane crosses his arms and sighs—amused, but just a little frustrated.

“Guys,” he grouses over the arguing. “I can just tell you. It’s R—“

“NO!”

Shane goes wide-eyed and holds his hands up in mock surrender. “Okay then. Guessing’s more fun, got it. But you only have until Ilya comes back.”

Ilya chooses that moment to return to the locker room, dressed for a pre-planned date night and holding a bouquet of flowers almost as big as he is.

“Shane, our reservation is in 45 minutes,” he sing-songs behind a sea of red and white roses. “And we will need at least 10 minutes to strap your flowers into the back seat. If a single one is ruined before we take pictures tonight, I will light things on fire. Sexily, but still.”

The team’s arguing over Shane’s middle name briefly turns into oooh’s and awww’s. Shane absolutely does not go all gooey-eyed at the flowers. Ilya absolutely does not blush in response.

“Nope,” Troy calls out over the rest of the guys. “Nobody leaves until we figure this shit out.”

Wyatt nods along. “Matters of great importance, Cap. You understand.”

Ilya’s expression goes from lovesick to thunderous in milliseconds.

“I planned this date for weeks,” he hisses. “Weeks, you fucking—“

“Cap,” Luca interjects, tone serious. “We need to figure out Shane’s middle name.”

Ilya takes a beat and then, much to Shane’s chagrin, takes a seat on the bench next to him.

“You put me in a difficult position, boys, but I can give you 5 minutes. Work quickly.”

Shane rolls his eyes and silently accepts the flowers as his husband passes them (more like heaves them; Jesus, this is a shitload of flowers) his way.

“Can I at least give a hint? Otherwise, we’ll be here forever.”

“NO!”

Dykstra throws out Robert. LaPointe thinks it’s Randall. Harris, who promised he wouldn’t get involved, picks Rick.

Ilya chuckles as Shane rolls his eyes again. In the middle of his eye-roll, though, he notices that Ilya’s got 4 fingers up. Then 3. Then 2. And just as he counts down to 1, Ilya winks, grabs Shane’s hand, and shouts over the debate.

“It’s Ren! It’s Japanese for ‘love’!”

The couple cackle uncontrollably as they make a run for it, pointedly ignoring the socks, balled up papers, and boo’s thrown their way.

“Oh my god,” Bood groans. “His name literally means ‘love’ and he’s playing on the same team as his husband. He spends his workdays with Cap making heart eyes at him. This is the greed they talk about in the Bible!”

[penandinkprincess]

in my heart ilya LOVES standing right behind shane and being snuggly while shane is in the kitchen, which makes me laugh about the idea of them watching the bear and ilya then having an ongoing bit of announcing "behind!" as he's literally pressing RIGHT against shane's back

"behind!"

*dryly* "i mean yeah. i kind of noticed."

"what? is for safety. you suddenly do not like safety, hollander?"

thinking about dennis snooping around robby's house when he's house sitting, telling himself it's fine because he's not touching or stealing anything, he's just curious.

he sees endless books and paperwork and odd little knicknacks, drawers of clothes, a photo album of robby in his mid twenties that he really shouldn't have looked through but did anyway... and then he comes to the bottom drawer in the master bedroom- robby's room.

he gasps so hard at the contents that he slams the drawer closed and then opens it slowly again, checking he hadn't hallucinated. he hadn't. sex toys. it was full of sex toys and gear. high quality rope, padded handcuffs, little metal clamps that made dennis wince to look at them but at the same time made his lower stomach churn in interest. and then, pride of place in the centre, an enormous dildo.

dennis surveyed it in disbelief and growing arousal. it was red and at least nine inches long, if not a little more, and had thick veins running up and down it, only adding to the realism of the toy. the slight curve of it made dennis's asshole clench, thinking about how it would hit every spot inside of him and make him scream. his own (much smaller) cock was chubbed up in his pants by now, and he slammed the drawer closed again to stop himself from reaching out and making a bad, bad choice.

his resolve doesn't last. ninety minutes later, he's back in the room and is picking up the monstrous toy. he tried to stop himself, really, he did! the pull was just too strong and he was just too horny, and well, he'd been right. the dildo filled him so full his stomach bulged and his insides were rubbed raw with how many times he orgasmed on it.

he swore he'd clean robby's sheets and toy, but right now he was in heaven imagining that it was robby fucking him and dicking him down into his sheets in the master bedroom, rather than a dildo. he bounced on it, lay down and manually fucked himself, he even licked along the veins and treated it as a real cock, bent forward on the bed so that his gaping, fucked-open asshole was on full display as he suckled and slurped and gagged.

he fell asleep in a puddle of cum, sweat and tears, dildo lying next to him like a cookie jar next to an incriminated child. he'd clean it all up, he swore.

miles away, robby wipes his hand on a tissue to clean it of his own spend. he always knew his boy was a little busybody. he'd lain the dildo as a trap, so sure dennis would snoop and be like a moth to a flame. tuned into the three bedroom cameras he'd conveniently forgotten to tell the young man about, and gazing at dennis's naked and debauched body, he couldn't wait to get home.

after all, it had been a perfect mould of his own cock that his precious intern had just fucked himself stupid on. imagine how good it would feel when robby stuffed him with the real thing?

imagine if some arena security guy escorting shane to the ambulance hears ilya’s name clearly when no one else does and sits with it and realizes that he may not know why hollander is so insistent on telling rozanov that he’s ok but he’ll pass on the message.

and so he gets himself into position near the visitor locker rooms and he gestures to ilya as he’s leaving said locker rooms (looking very shellshocked and quiet and scared mind you) and he takes him to the side and just says

“hey i was with hollander when they were taking him away and he kept trying to tell us to talk to you. tell you that he’s ok. man i don’t know why he was insisting but—”

and he just cuts himself off because rozanov’s face is doing something really weird?? Almost like affection?? Then it’s wiped clean and he’s rambling off this excuse of “oh we got friendly at all stars this year he must have seen me stay on the ice once he got hit okok thank you so much for message i have to go”

and the security guy watches ilya practically run to the team bus and just stands there and goes. huh. that’s weird.

then when they’re outed the guy is waking up in a cold sweat at three am thinking oh my god i was informing the man that the love of his life wasn’t dead

ilya shuffles around the house with his hands behind his back a lot like a grandpa and babyhollanov notices this and starts to copy him….. shane takes a picture of them standing in front of the tv with their hands behind their backs, watching a game with the same serious mouth, same furrowed brow, and sends it to all of their friends with the text twins :). ilya sees it later and nearly cries about it, zooming in on their baby’s little face that looks just like shane, and yet so much like him, too, matching his mannerisms and quirks so naturally, wondering how their kid that doesn’t have his features can look so much like him, and by default, his mama.

"cigarette" implies the existence of a much larger "cigar"

i recovered by the time i hit post but when i first had this thought i had genuinely forgotten cigars exist

is it really "not very well written" or did you just not pick up on it? is it really "not explicit enough" or did you just not notice? does it really "not make sense" or did you just not follow? many such cases

Shane follows Yuna outside and for the first time (of what will later be innumerable times), David is left alone with Ilya Rozanov.

Initially, he's too worried about how the conversation between his wife and his son is going to really think too much about the enormous hockey player opposite him. But after a few moments he realises that it's too quiet.

It's not that he's expecting Rozanov – Ilya – to be as loud and showboaty as he is in interviews, but he's definitely not expecting the man to be intently staring into his glass like it holds all the secrets of the universe, not moving a single muscle. David is sure this isn't just normal meeting-the-parents nerves. It's terror, like Ilya is scared to do or say anything. Like he's scared it'll provoke David or something.

And suddenly Ilya doesn't seem like an enormous hockey player at all – just a scared kid in a situation he didn't plan for or expect anymore than his son did. After all, David has also accidentally outed him.

He regards Ilya for a moment before clearing his throat.

"So, Ilya, what do you like to eat?"

Ilya's head snaps up and his eyes meet David's.

"I'm sorry?" He says it carefully, like he's waiting for it to be a trick question, and David's heart gives a little pang. What has happened to this kid to make him so suspicious and anxious?

"What's your favourite thing to eat?" David asks with a smile, making sure his voice is as calm and gentle as possible. It feels a bit like he's trying to coax a scared and cornered animal out from under a car. "I think you and Shane should stay for dinner. Since I think we'll be seeing more of you from now on, I'd like to know what kind of food you enjoy so that we can make it for you when you visit. So what can I get you? Burgers? Pasta? We have a pizza oven if you'd like a pizza?"

"Pasta," says Ilya, the corners of his mouth turning up in an encouraging way. "If it's like the pasta Shane makes, I think I will really like that."

"Pasta it is then," says David, smile growing at the way Ilya's shoulders settle. He resolves right then to make sure that Ilya will never feel this terrified in his home again. "Want to help me get it started? Beats sitting here worrying about how the conversation outside is going, right?"

"Right," says Ilya with the first real smile he's ever seen from him. And David sees it then – sees the man that Shane must have seen beneath the bravado, beneath the act.

You're home now, Ilya, he thinks to himself as they make their way to the kitchen. Welcome to the family.

I maintain that one of the reasons Shane is so fast is that, when he was a child, he never wanted to leave the rink after practice ended, to the degree that he regularly had to be literally dragged away or carried off the ice. Unfortunately for him, a four year old is pretty easy to physically overpower. His one advantage was that, before his parents or his coach could get him off the ice, they first had to catch him.

Hollanov Crack fic where while they’re soft launching their friendship, Shane mentions to Ilya that he’s basing how he interacts in public with Ilya on his friendship with Hayden. Would he carpool with Hayden? Yes, so they can do that, etc.

Except Shane likes being friendly with Ilya in public so much that he seriously considers how much better it would be if they held hands! So Shane does and it’s fantastic. He gets so high off the feeling of being with Ilya that his restrictive plan falls to the wayside and he’s touching Ilya constantly when they’re together, giving him little pecks on the cheek, so glad he forgot about the plan for once and just—went for it! They can just soft launching their friendship their actual relationship, not saying anything, and letting people realize on their own!

Only Shane never mentioned this to Ilya and he is still under the impression Shane is only doing things with Ilya that he would with Hayden and wtf do you mean Shane holds hands with Hayden??? He kisses him on the cheek???? This isn’t fucking okay hollader!

Ilya just seething with jealousy and in a horror movie in his head about what else Shane does with Hayden that he considers “just friends” things while Shane is living out a rom com
