if i was 26 and had just woken up from a 70 year suicide-induced coma with no one in the present remembering who i am and instead conflating me with the ever changing image of the role i played in ww2 that now serves as american propaganda and 2 weeks ago i was watching guys get half of their faces blown off and a week after that the love of my life fell off of a moving train with me only being able to watch and then i had to like... deal with a billionaire nepo baby war profiteer calling me an old man and saying there's nothing special about me i would have started killing people. but unfortunately it happened to steve rogers. and he has, like, morals. so

I think this is the tenth HEATED RIVALRY recs post I've done? It's a ridiculous number for how I've only been reading since a little before the show came out and I'm still further behind every day than when I started, because there are so many incredible fics! And one of my favorite things is how much the fandom has embraced giving us more of seeing Hollanov through Yuna's eyes, through David's eyes, through Hayden's eyes, through Svetlana's eyes, through Rose's eyes, through Jackie's eyes, it makes the world feel even more expanded and beloved, especially because these characters are also so incredibly wonderful.
Don't get me wrong, Shane and Ilya are still the center of this world, and those two are absolute FREAKS about each other, in heartbreaking and hilarious ways in turn, but I love how much the fandom has given us the other characters being like UGH THOSE ASSHOLES or AWW THEY'RE PERFECT, what a perfect and fun fandom. (Also, the fandom is slowly giving me Shane and Ilya on the Bears' team or on the Voyageurs' team together, and don't get me wrong I love the Centaurs with my whole heart, but do you KNOW how much fun the Bears can be?? Or how much I NEED Hayden and Ilya on the same team?? LET. HAYDEN. JOIN. THE. CENTAURS. I've been good, fandom, I deserve this!)
HEATED RIVALRY - NO I WON’T BE CHILL ABOUT THE GAY HOCKEY PLAYERS SHOW:

It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth. (Sequel to “something you can fix,” set post-Heated Rivalry, pre-The Long Game)
it's all fun and games until someone has been secretly gay this whole time by thegreenempty, ilya/shane & hayden, 2.9k
Hayden had never seen him like this before. The painkillers were making Shane…fun. He was funny, and kind of bitchy? All Hayden had to do was mention a player, any player in the league, and Shane had an absolutely devastating assessment locked and loaded. To hear Canada’s Golden Boy with perfect PR presence rip into everyone and everything…it was just too tempting to pass up.
Bon Voyage Voyageurs by Frostberry, ilya/shane, 1.5k
For his very last Montreal game, a reporter asks Shane a question about balancing hockey and his personal life concerning his boyfriend Ilya Rozanov. Shane answers them bluntly. “He’s not my boyfriend.” Naturally, everyone is devastated.

the best person to be stuck in an elevator with by Sporkess, ilya(/shane) & yuna(/david), 7.2k
There's no good way to be stuck in an elevator. Not when you're stuck in an elevator with someone who treats being annoying as an art form he wants to perfect, and definitely not when that person is your son's rival who you've hated for years. But, when Yuna finds herself stuck in an elevator with Ilya Rozanov, she realises there's more to the story than she'd seen.
i love you, ya tebya lyublyu, je t'aime by moonlightdances, ilya/shane & david/yuna, 10.1k
“Because I can’t fucking do this, Ilya. I’m going to my parents’, I- I need a break, alright? Shit.” Shane’s gaze locked onto his keys and he picked them up, stalking towards the door.
the trials and tribulations of love languages by moonlightdances, ilya/shane & cast, 7.2k
Every single example online of the love languages could fit Ilya to some degree – Shane had never thought about it before, but now that he knew, it was a problem that he didn’t know Ilya’s. He already wasn’t fluent in Russian, despite his attempt at learning, and he refused to be behind on another of Ilya’s languages.
Do Not Text Jane by icopythefax, ilya/shane & hayden, nsfw, 12.9k
Ilya's POV for I Like Jane For You The same mix-up leaves Ilya with someone else's boring phone for three days. It does not contain as many secrets. It does contain more Hollander, more pregnant nudies, and it comes with constant annoying updates from Hayden Pike.

white collar crimes by Anonymous, ilya/shane, NSFW, 6.9k
So Shane Hollander is, how do you say in English, a dirty little thief. A clothing thief, to be precise. Ilya can't say he saw that coming, but he also can't pretend he's all that mad about it. His shirt looks good on his Shane. On Shane. On Hollander.
give me your hurt if you need someone to blame by iittaliia, ilya/shane & hayden, 6k
”What the fuck were you thinking putting me down as your emergency contact?” ”What?” Ilya blinked, the sudden change in atmosphere clearly having caught him off guard. ”That I want you here?” he said like it was obvious, like that would be reason enough to put everything they were and everything they had at risk.
The Photoshoot by dntat, ilya/shane & centaurs, 2.1k
The thing was. The thing was that people knew Shane was married to him. To Ilya fucking Rozanov. So he could not fucking understand why the photographer kept hitting on his husband.

Duty of Care by boopboop, ilya/shane & david/yuna & cliff & svetlana & alexei, nsfw, 39.1k wip
If there’s ever been any doubt in his mind just how much Shane loves this man, it vanishes with the glossy blankness of Ilya’s expression. Blood from a stone indeed. “My father was very fair,” Ilya says immediately, and it’s got the rigid, almost mechanical emphasis of something practiced a thousand times. “If I was bad, I pay price. No problem.” “I think maybe we have a different definition of the word fair.”
Family Vacation by ofmonticello, ilya/shane & hayden/jackie, 8.9k
the pikes join ilya and shane on vacation to the bahamas, and everything that happens is actually way easier than any of them expected. hayden gets hit on, jackie appreciates some quality relaxation, and hollanov go on like they always do.

Find The Words by dhyanshiva, ilya/shane & hayden, 2.4k
Pike’s ‘‘hey babe, yeah no I’m still here’’ said so softly down the phone to the smarter Pike spouse does nothing to make Ilya feel better. Envy curdles in his empty stomach instead. Fucker. Good friend, yes, for being here, but still. He was making this very awkward for Ilya and that was enough. He glared harder as the man continued to talk, willing him to move.

Shane Hollander Is Not Here to Explain Himself by theaa, ilya/shane & yuna & oc, 5.1k
Now thirty-one, Hollander is sitting across from me on a soft leather couch, part of a home study in the Muskoka lake house he owns. (His parents’ cottage, the one from his childhood, is a ten-minute drive away.) It’s a tastefully decorated room, with big ceiling-high windows that let in plenty of summer light, and walnut shelves full of books — mostly sports-related. Hollander looks at home here, dressed in a loose pair of light-wash jeans and a plain navy t-shirt, which shows off his impressive arm muscle. Everything is just the right side of comfortably casual.

You think he gets off on that? Hayden texts, and Shane fights off the wild urge to send back, I do, just so that Hayden can knock some sense back into him. Or: Shane watches a Boston game. Ilya scores goals, trash-talks, and gets Shane hard in the process.

“Baby, there’s nothing I haven’t already told you… except maybe—” He glanced up. “For some reason, Shane has a Russian keyboard on his phone. Last week, when my phone died and I texted you from his, I noticed it. English, French… and Russian.” Oh. Shit. Jackie’s eyes lit up with interest. “A Russian keyboard? ”

Emergency Contact by UglyGreenJacket, ilya/shane, 2.8k
They lie in silence for a few moments, the only sound being the steady and slow beating of Shane’s heart on the monitor. He’s perfectly content to just bask in Ilya’s presence and form until the doctor comes back, but eventually, he can feel Ilya staring at him. So he opens his eyes and sees an expectant look on his husband’s face. “What?” Shane questions. “Are we going to talk about it?” Shane’s brows draw down in confusion. “Talk about what?” A mischievous grin splits Ilya’s face. “That I am your emergency contact.” “Oh, my god,” Shane groans. “You are not going to make this a thing. It’s not a big deal.”

“It was in 2013. The first time, we were in that stupid apartment of yours in Montreal. So many pillows, you hired someone to decorate. I knew it was your first time, like that, with anybody. I wanted to make it good for you so badly. I’d thought a lot about it. I’d planned for it, like I never would have for anybody else I’ve been with. I didn’t expect— I didn’t realize how right it would be. I wanted to stay, I wanted to stay in that bed forever just to hold you.” “Holy shit,” Shane says. Ilya sighs, glares at him. “You have got to stop saying that in response to my romantic declarations. Is bad for my nerves.”
Montreal Girl by SourLeminade, ilya/shane & cliff, 2.2k
Not for the next two fucking years, when everything they played a game in Montreal, Ilya was fucking salivating at his phone. Probably hoping this girl would just fucking invite him over already. Cliff is certain he failed every time because he was Ilya’s roommate, and they would either end up in bed alone at the end of the night or kick each other out for a little while. Cliff has got to give it to the Montreal Girl. Two years is a long time to keep a professional hockey player wrapped around your finger with no sex. So, two years later, Cliff finally brings it up again.

Cliff wouldn’t call himself the most observant person in the world, but it doesn’t take a genius to know something is wrong with Roz. He’s swinging from quiet and completely checked out to snapping at every little thing and back again. It started after the last Montreal game, Cliff is pretty sure. Jane From Montreal. This has something to do with her.
All That Matters by smackalicious, ilya/shane & hayden, 3.7k
Hayden just looked at him for a few moments. He never quite felt like he could fully get a read on him. And then, he had a thought. Shane might punch him in the face, but he had a feeling... “Okay, then. Maybe you’re meeting someone else?” He kept his voice as level as possible, not wanting to spook him. Whatever weird quirks Shane may have had, Hayden still loved the kid. “Maybe... a guy?” Hayden starts to realize some things about Shane, but he never could have predicted that his secret Boston hookup was... Ilya Rozanov?

Yuna and David had known about Ilya Rozanov since he first crossed their son's path. But after that day at the cottage, they discover a whole new aspect behind the mask that Ilya has worn for all those years.
I am currently vibrating out of my skin waiting for the HEATED RIVALRY finale and the cottage and the only thing that has kept me in the general vicinity of sanity has been the absolutely god tier fic. I can't tell you how many times I've had to practically shove my face into my hoodie to try to muffle the cackling laughter because I was not going to explain what I was reading to the people around me, but all the lolz-worthy fic really did help take the edge off the desperate intensity of feelings I had after episode 5.
I meant to post this sooner, but then wound up adding to it and adding to it because I couldn't stop reading and I still am further behind on my reading list than the last time I checked the tag on AO3. What an incredible fandom to get to watch explode, from this medium-sized book fandom I joined just a month before the show started, not even realizing that it was about to get such an incredible adaptation, but goddamn is there some fucking talent here. Hayden and Jackie are getting the love from fandom that they deserve! And you have no idea how many loopy!Shane or social media fics I have read and how each of them are incredible! Centaur team shenanigans! THIS FANDOM IS SO GOOD TO ME.
