“Fascination” is definitely one way to put it. Also I wonder what Ilya could’ve POSSIBLY said. Definitely not secretly professing his love, surely.

we could be alone ✨together✨

The salt and pepper in Ilya's hair doesn't show up as clearly as it does in Shane's. Instead Ilya, despite sometimes admitting to feeling like he has to claw his way to joy and happiness from the bottom of the deepest pit, develops laugh lines.

They start as creases in the corners of his eyes, the natural consequence of David's awful dad jokes, or Yuna's brand negotiation horror stories, or a stellar Cens reunion, or something wild and out of the blue that their toddler says, or a bitchy comment from Shane from their seats in the stands as they watch games rather than play them, or the way Shane's hip now clicks in a comically loud way every time Ilya spreads his legs.

Initially the lines fade away immediately.

Then, as the years go on, they linger, so that Shane gets to look at them and hear the sound of Ilya's laughter in his head for longer and longer. Then, they stop fading, and Shane can see the evidence of every beautiful moment they've had together etched onto his favorite face in the world.

When Ilya finally concedes and says they're not laugh lines anymore - he's officially got wrinkles, Shane beams at him and kisses each one reverently.

"You know me, I would never complain, but what was that for?" Ilya asks and Shane smiles back at him, knowing the lines on his own face largely mirror his husband's.

"Just grateful that I've spent long enough with you to get to see you with wrinkles."

And when Ilya swoops forward and kisses him, it feels every bit as wild and exciting as it did when they were nineteen.

Post-outing and post- honeymoon pre-season Hollanov step out and are photographed for the first time in Ottawa featuring Shane— white t-shirt pre-season muscles bulging gray sweatpants dick outline healthy yes he's wearing his reeboks Mom and Ilya— decked out in TIGht Adidas track pants with the snaps black tank top clinging to that waist with Anya on a bedazzled leash— YES they're holding hands rings glinting in the golden hour YES they have their dog at this outside restaurant seating YES they're going to win this season YES Shane will have dessert and will give the first bite to his husband YES they're dropping a black card in the bill YES they're kissing each other's hands at the table and in a way it's kind of like Diana in her revenge dress except their best revenge is just living their best fucking life TOGETHER

My Shane is an enabler. He’s gonna roll his eyes and tell ilya to fuck himself, but he loves that shit. He’s icing Ilya injuries after a fight barely hiding the fact that he found it funny. He’s providing information for chirps. He’s joining in on the fun cause he loves his husband. Idk man I just don’t think Shane, who fell in love with the NHLs biggest asshole is gonna be annoyed when he’s being an asshole.

[gurlsrool]

Ilya circa 2017 retweeting a post that says “all the hottest bitches can’t see shit.” His mentions are immediately flooded with women sharing pictures of them wearing glasses because no one knows he’s ShanePosting

Shane sees this and gets territorial enough to send a selfie of him wearing nothing but his glasses. Ilya drops his phone so hard the screen shatters

i don't know what's better, 18 year old ilya shamelessly flirting and calling his crush 'pretty' or 18 year old shane, who always hated being called pretty, pissed off that he likes how the word sounds from his rivals mouth

[snowsmoked]

Consider: Shane is the cens Car Guy™️. He really only does it for the rookies because he is busy. Sometimes he can be bargained with though.

But when the rookies, freshly of age, most in another country, and with MHL money, ask him to take them car shopping, he’s there. He’s not letting some dealership rip off his rookies or put them in a dangerous shiny sports car.

Ilya, crucially, doesn’t know this happens. He claims the rookies all got ‘Shane’s borning genes’ because of their practical cars with excellent safety ratings.

He ignores Shane who disowns their children (tells Ilya they are not biologically related to the rookies).

When someone finally slips up and Ilya finds out he is simultaneously 1. appalled that the rookies would not come to Ilya “car enthusiast” Rozanov 2. endeared that Shane takes such good care of their team 3. hard, imagining Shane negotiating with the car salesman, pushing up his glasses while reading over the paper work, test driving the cars…

It’s mostly that third one.

one day, after they're married and ottawa is having a great season and they've gotten another dog (or a cat) and the noise surrounding their relationship has gone down and everything feels perfect and they're finally living the life they never thought they'd get to live, ilya is going to have a depressive episode worse than he's ever had, so bad that shane is terrified to leave him alone even for five minutes. and ilya will wonder if he can have everything he ever wanted and still feel like this, then what is the point? what even is the point at all.

[gaynehollander]

Shane would safeword and then be like "why'd you stop?"

[rachfic222]

something i don't see talked about a lot but always makes me emotional on re-reads of tlg is the fact that even after shane is unwillingly outed to the world, and as a direct result:

unjustly suspended from his job

condemned by one of his best friends

condemned by his teammates

dissected by the media

threatened by the commissioner

accused of cheating at the sport he has dedicated his whole life to; and

raked over the coals for a true accident

he STILL goes to watch ilya play

without question or concern, he sits in the audience to watch ilya in round 2 alongside the team that just kicked him out of the playoffs and caused tripgate

he spends tlg in debilitating fear over the possibility of someone figuring them out and goes to such extreme lengths to keep that from happening that he doesn't even have a photograph to show for an 11-year relationship

but still, ilya mentions he can get tickets for shane and his parents to come see him play and shane doesn't spend a second worrying it may fuel rumours, bring unwanted attention to his relationship, put him in a generally uncomfortable position - he actually brightens at the suggestion and then happily sits in the audience to cheer ilya on 😭
