The Shane Hollander Debacle by nineteenohtwo not rated | 1.3k words The Athletic NHL ✅ @/TheAthleticNHL Shane Hollander was the only player who did not wear Pride Tape on his stick during Centaurs Pride Night

Glittering Gold by kaijuerotica rated e | 52k words In 2009, Ilya Rozanov won his first World Figure Skating title. That same year, Shane Hollander was selected first overall by the Boston Raiders.

In 2014, both are chosen to represent their countries in the Sochi Olympics.

A lot can change in two weeks.

(sub)textual evidence by PenAndInkPrincess rated m | 13.4 k words “-can’t see each other again,” Ilya says, looking only at Shane’s hand, holding it so, so gently and stroking over Shane’s skin so, so softly. The soothing feeling of it makes it very hard to focus, but Shane tries very hard to do it anyway. “I tried-we tried, but this can’t happen again.” It takes a moment, but Shane finally manages to make sense of the words, and he lets out a soft noise of understanding.

Ah. He’s apologizing that he won’t be able to see Shane in the hospital again before he leaves.

“I understand,” he says, and he does. It was probably really hard for Ilya to get here even once, and it can’t be very long before his plane leaves. He’s sad, of course–they didn’t even get to spend time together, really–but it’s not like this will be the last chance they ever have to see each other. He gives Ilya his best attempt at a smile, and if it comes out a little sad, too, all Ilya does is reach out to stroke the backs of his fingers gently over his cheek.

(ilya goes through with his plan to break up with shane in the hospital) (the problem? shane is too high to understand that he's being broken up with)

the stupid plan doesn't work anymore by the7thwriterinthedark rated m | 10.1k words When Shane learns that Ilya's plane has crashed and he doesn't even know who Ilya's emergency contact is or if Ilya's alive, he has a stunning realization that Ilya dying without anyone knowing what they are to one another would be a torment.

Ilya is injured in the plane crash, Shane does a lot of coming out.

“I love you,” says Shane, “I love you so fucking much, Ilya. And when you’re less loopy, I think we need to talk about how the stupid plan doesn’t work anymore.” Ilya’s mostly out of it by now, but he snorts, “Hollander wants to deviate from plan? Must be very serious for me, yes?” “You’re going to be fine.” Shane can’t even entertain the possibility of anything else, “Go to sleep.”

Blood for the Blood God by agatestones not rated | 4.4k words This seems a little unkind to you but maybe I mean a little unkind to hockey? Because it also makes you sound like a superhero. Love you -- Dad

Not so gay you can’t fuck Rose Landry by grabmyboner rated e | 3k words Shane confesses he imagined Ilya the entire time he was with Rose Landry, couldn’t even stay hard without picturing Ilya’s mouth and cock. Ilya, burning with possession, demands the filthy details while he gets on his knees for Shane. -🏒- “Tell me again,” Ilya says, voice low, almost a growl. “Everything you thought about when you were inside her.”

picture frames by scarlettroses rated t | 3.6k words It goes well until he’s standing in Ilya’s— their— living room, holding a framed photo of the 2014-15 Montréal Voyageurs and their first Stanley Cup, rooted to the spot. - or, the one where moving to ottawa brings up some complicated feelings.

We Didn’t Even Kiss by MultiFandomLoverWriterShipper rated t | 7.2k words Years into their relationship, Shane ends up wine-warm in Ilya’s lap, kissing every inch of his face he can reach and out of nowhere he brings up Vegas 2014. The penthouse. The elevator. The text Shane almost sent. Seeing his husband quiet, vulnerable, and still aching over it, Ilya stops joking for once and promises that it'll never happen again. They don't have sex, just kiss, Ilya kissing the living fuck out of Shane, making up for lost kisses.

blackbird, fly by scarlettroses rated g | 2.8k words CBC News Archives | July 2005 Mini-Doc: Meet Ottawa’s 14 year-old hockey phenom, Shane Hollander [Video - 3:26] - The video has been over for long enough that his screen has gone dark, but Ilya is still stuck staring at the device.

He hasn’t let any tears spill over yet, but god, he’s going to cry.

Trying to Guess if Shane Hollander is Gay, Straight, or a Homophobe | Gaydar by Violet_Thistle rated g | 2.8k words “Name three lesbian artists.” “Artists? Like painters?” Anania chuckles. “Sure if you know any of those off the top of your head.” Shane looks at her with wide eyes. “Okay, I meant like, musicians, actors, entertainers.” Anania prompts him. “Oh,” Shane’s expression remains tinged with uncertainty. “Uh, do athletes count?” “No, I want to see if you know anything beyond sports.” “Okay, um…” Shane looks all around as if the answer might appear from around a tree. “Uh….” “Oh, honey.” Anania shook her head. “The bar is so low.” ~ OR: Shane Hollander goes on Gaydar and is interviewed by Anania to see if she can guess if he’s gay, straight, or a homophobe. It goes about as badly as you’d expect.

thylacine by anonymous rated e | 9.6k words He’s just about ready to doze off—his ritualistic pre-dinner, thirty-minute nap—when, suddenly, Ilya says, “Huh. Interesting.”

Shane cracks one eye open. “Hmm?”

“Oh, nothing, малыш,” he replies, though his brows are furrowed when he says it. Shane’s even more curious now.

“No, really, what is it?”

Ilya must lose some internal debate; a deep sigh leaves his body before, wordlessly, he turns his phone to Shane.

The bright light makes him squint, still not used to Ilya and his affinity for both using the light-mode feature and turning the brightness in his phone to a maximum. He forgoes scolding him when, after his eyes have adjusted, he reads: Metros acquires Fil-Canadian Rivera; second Asian player in franchise history after Hollander.

At first he thinks, oh, that’s my name. Shane hasn’t seen his name mentioned remotely near the words ‘Montreal Metros’ ever since he transferred to Ottawa three years ago. Then, and this is when it finally dawns on him, Shane thinks: second?

we go heavy harder by decideophobia rated e | 7.8k words He wants to tell Rozanov to get over himself, shut up and fuck off. In that order. What he does say is, “I—I want to, uh…to try something.”

“Tell me,” Rozanov says, drawing back a little. His hands are back on Shane’s body and he slips his fingers under the hem of his shirt to draw his fingertips over Shane’s abs.

Shane takes a deep breath. Here goes nothing. “I want to suck you off upside down.”

Shane braces his palms on the counter top of the kitchen island Rozanov has trapped him against and hoists himself up, then spins and lies down on his back, shuffling a little until he feels the edge of the counter hit the back of his neck. He looks up at Rozanov towering over him like this, and the zing of arousal that zips through him is so strong it makes his skin tingle and heat pour through his veins, pooling between his legs.

OR; Shane sees porn that he wants to try with Rozanov.

My Shane does not keep the Rookie of the Year trophy in the trophy room. He keeps that shit on the mantle in the living room. Is it gouache? Maybe. But it allows him to rub his husband's face in it way more often than if it was locked away with the rest of their accolades.

gaynehollander

Ilya used to move it to the trophy room every time it migrated back to the mantle but they've now come to a stalemate where, right next to the trophy, there is a framed picture from their draft night; Ilya beaming, holding up one finger, while Shane has a pained smile that barely masks a grimace, reluctantly holding up two.

still thinking about the its a wonder life situation where Shane would wish never to meet Ilya and he sees his “perfect” straight life with a wife and kids and a suburban house next to the pike’s and six or seven cups but when he asks about what Ilya’s life is like the Clarence stand in tells him that Ilya killed himself years ago and I just think that even when confronted with Ilya’s depression, Shane doesn’t really think that there’s ever really a world where Ilya would actually commit suicide not because he doesn’t believe in depression or whatever just because its so foreign a concept to his own worldview and thought process and he knows people kill themselves but ilya isn’t people he’s ilya and when he’s confronted with the fact that that is something that could happen whether it be through an angel showing him an alternative world where they never met or an actual attempt it would rock his worldview so completely I don’t know if he’d fully recover

Sucks how many people were taught that "horses put their ears back when they're mad" but then never taught the difference between "angry backwards ears," "mildly annoyed backwards ears," "pain backwards ears," "concentrated backwards ears," "sleepy backwards ears" and "just happens to be listening to something behind it."

"Horses put their ears back when they're mad" idk man i think it depends

horsefigureoftheday

These are all completely different expressions in completely different scenarios, and only two of them are decidedly negative.

Actually, I wanna talk about the third horse, the one putting its ears back in pain. Over the last 15 years veterinarians and animal scientists have worked out pain scales for most domestic animals by taking photos of the during routine procedures.

We know vaccines painful, and by comparing horses at rest with horses getting vaccinated, we've been able to determine how they express pain visually. By looking at horses with disorders like colic, broken bones, wounds, and so on, we can determine their facial expressions during more severe pain.

At zookeeper school we were drilled through the pain faces of the most common lab animals and livestock. Nowadays I believe this has become a routine lesson in all animal related fields, but the general public still doesn't know that this is a thing that exists.

Here are all the pain face/grimace scales I've been able to find. Please study them if you interact with any of these animals on a regular basis:

can you imagine being a parent in the pokemon world and your kid comes home with one of those straight up basically human pokemon. i know those motherfuckers can talk.

its morning. i see my childs Throh getting some oj from the fridge. 'morning', i say. he doesnt catch himself in time and says 'morning' back. he freezes and we both stare at each other knowingly. 'throh,' he says, but its too fucking late

when we started talking about getting a small-breed dog I was like, "I will NEVER turn into one of those people who treats their little dog like a doll or an accessory by forcing them to dress up in ridiculous outfits. Dogs HATE that. They should get to be DOGS, and that means not having to wear anything but a HARNESS and being FREE to ROLL in the MUD." and then I adopted a dog who throws a fit if you try to take him for a walk without letting him pick out a bow tie first. a dog who loves wearing pajamas so much that I'm about to spend a disgusting amount of money on several sets of linen ones for summer. a dog who watches me wave at him to follow me through a mud puddle and just stands there blinking up at me like, "are you fucking serious? and get my paws wet?"

json-derulo

me: I will raise him no differently than the two 80-lb labs I had growing up. absolutely no hoity-toity frou frou little yapyap dog stuff. he's gonna be a good ol' fashioned, rough-and-tumble, capital D-O-G—

—never mind. the boy yearns to be ensweatered

json-derulo

to celebrate the popularity of this post, I ordered him another set of the linen jammies in yellow. now he looks like paddington bear

the etsy seller threw in a little miniature hermes silk scarf as a freebie and I dare you to tell me he doesn't know how handsome he looks in it. whenever we take it off of him he broods like he's a wealthy victorian orphan child in desperate need of a seaside holiday to restore his delicate aristocratic constitution

I know Ilya canonically has a reputation as a playboy but also I'm sort of confused?

So during the 2010-2011 season when Ilya and Shane started their careers they were both 19, then they were 20 during the 2011-2012 season, then Finally they were 21 during the 2012-2013 season. But my question is basically, yes I can imagine Ilya getting papped with various women during this time while out and about in Boston, but would he not have been getting carded at clubs and bars?

I've seen so many people talking about Ilya getting to Boston and then just being like drunk in the streets every night and while I'm sure a teammate or whoever could be convinced to buy him alcohol to facilitate this, and sure some clubs would be willing to look the other way, but also like he's famous and his age is public knowledge it would probably be a bad look to have him stumbling drunk out of your establishment? Not even touching on the whole 'professional athlete is likely Not getting sloppy drunk constantly' thing?

But also it begs the question what is the venue for this playboy persona? Shane has been keeping Ilya at arm's length since their failed Montreal hookup in early 2011, but Ilya would have only gotten to be old enough to legally drink in America starting in the fall of 2012, more than a year later. Has Shane been following Russian tabloids when Ilya is home for the summer? Has he been stalking Ilya's social media, such that it would have been in the early 2010s? Did he see a TMZ article about Ilya 'getting cozy' (read: standing too close to) an attractive woman while on a Dunks' run and seethe a little bit?

I agree he's definitely dragging this out because he doesn't just want to be a notch on Ilya's bedpost, and I think also there is an aspect for him of struggling with his sexuality and masculinity since they arranged their sex date specifically with the conceit that Ilya would be topping.

Look, maybe I'm too European for this but I can't imagine people caring that much. He's a millionaire star athlete going out with his entire team. I just don't see him being carded at 20.

Also, my Ilya is not getting hammered every night and getting caught dunk and disorderly. I've seen some fics boarder on that but that's not my vision for him. My Ilya is having a few drinks with his team, maybe a couple of shots, hitting the dance floor, and then he's leaving with some hot girl he won't remember the name of next week.

Maybe there are some TMZ articles about underage drinking but I don't imagine him going wild to the extent that it would risk his position on the team or his immigration status. I do also think some North-American media would pick up stories about Roz in Russia. It's not that frequent but I can believe there being the occasional article in some gossip rag talking about Rozanov being off the rails during the off-season.

I agree that Shane's struggle with his sexuality and his masculinity is the main reason he's not immediately jumping into bed with Ilya (or not continuing to do so after anal becomes the thing that seems to be next on the list) but the post you're referencing was an add-on to that and I do think, as time goes on, the thrill of the chase and being something more than "an easy lay" starts to factor into how much Shane's dragging it out.
