um

I don't really know

[tinylilhollander]

Ilya who gets such intense cute aggression at the pictures of fat baby Shane that Yuna shows him, that when he goes to find Shane prepping dinner in the kitchen, he actually bites his cheek. And when Shane's like "Hey, the fuck was that for?" (half annoyed, half turned on) Ilya's just like "You know what you fucking did."

[hyphenemdash]

and what if i said they’re PraiseKink4PraiseKink? hmmmmmm????

shane is a more classic type. he wants to know he’s good, that he did it right, that he followed the rules and achieved the goal. that he’s the best, at whatever task you set in front of him. sucking cock, scoring goals, gagging, skating fast, taking what ilya gives him, weeding the garden. shane just wants to be given the rules and guidelines for everything so he can be absolutely certain he’s making the people around him ilya happy. and he wants to hear it. he wants ilya’s words, verbal confirmation of “yes baby exactly like that you’re made for me thank you for doing that for me god i’m fucking a king so so good baby”

ilya is a little more nuanced. outright praise he often brushes off because deep down, the little kid inside of him doesn’t think he deserves it. his mother left, his brother hated him, his father was constantly disappointed. nothing ilya did could or would ever be enough. but with shane, he is. fast enough, strong enough, good enough, loving enough, big enough, fucking him hard enough. and shane tells him in ways that he can digest, ways that settle deep in his bones and chase away the ghost of the words of his family. relying on ilya without ever second guessing that he’ll be there. trusting him with every facet of his life, professional and personal. deferring to ilya in front of an audience, highlighting his achievements like they’re both nothing to someone as good as ilya, and impossible to achieve for anyone else. choosing him, over and over and over and over.

and shane knows that, to and with ilya, he is good.

and ilya knows, to and with shane, that he is enough.

yuna getting really lovely, thoughtful, sometimes extravagant mothers day and birthday gifts from ilya never really understanding why hes going through all this effort even if she does appreciate it and thinks hes so so sweet for it all, even after the boys tell her and david about ilyas mother and the irina foundation it doesnt fully click for a while. it only comes together on some random day, ilya has a game later that night and he’s had lunch with yuna and david planned for a while and he shows up with the good vodka david likes and this small package of candies that ilya hands to her very shyly for the first time probably in his life, definitely since shes known him, and he explains with shaking hands that they were his mama’s favorite, and it was her birthday today.

yuna feels her heart break a little bit when he tells her that she would have been younger than her, maybe too young for how old her children are considering he had an older brother, but he thought about his mama when he was happy in the hollander home, and wanted to share his mamas favorite candy with the woman who was mama to his favorite person in the world. like they got to meet, in a way. and yuna realizes very suddenly that he does the birthdays and mothers days for both her and irina because she is the closest thing he has to a mother, and she looks at him and realizes with it that he is in some ways still 12, finding his mother, and she has never met a little boy so tall and tired when she pulls him into a hug and doesnt let go till david suggests they get inside for lunch.

Can we talk about Shane Hollander’s inherent kindness for a sec. Him introducing himself to Ilya trying to make him feel comfortable. Constantly asking him questions about himself and wanting to soothe his pain. Making space for Ilya in his home. Displaying his love for him openly in front of his parents. He’s so endlessly empathetic and I just love him ok

Shane and his childhood Jellycat Cont.

So I already have a whole other post about Shane having a Jellycat (Bashful Bunny) when he was a kid, but then losing interest and comfort from it because he was bullied for having one in second grade. However, I couldn't leave it on such a sad note because he's got Ilya in his adulthood and if that man finds out about his childhood plushie, he will go to the ends of the earth to ensure Shane has said comfort again.

In my mind, I like to think that sometime during the situationship from hell era, Ilya indulges in some kind of traveling fair or festival and really likes winning prizes at booths, giving them out to kids when he does, but maybe using them as pickup lines with girls as well. He saves a few cute plushies he won in basketball hoop game to whoo some leggy blonde, it doesn't work out, (maybe she's gay or something which Ilya offers to give her the toy anyway to give to her lover but she just raises an eyebrow and tells him she'll win her own), so Ilya keeps it. Maybe in the back of his mind he wants to offer it to Shane next time they hook up, as a joke of course, and its all super unconscious, but he holds onto the cute bunny plushie and plans to call Shane bunny in Russian to see how flushed he can make him, see if it will make his freckles stand out more. So. He holds onto it and when Shane's leaving after hooking up, or maybe even when their still basking in the afterglow, Ilya joking chucks it at his head and Shane of course is annoyed, attempts to smother Ilya with it in return, but for just a fraction of a second when Shane first looked at what had been stuffed into his chest, he'd paused. His fingers had twitched toward the fluffy hear. Ilya didn't miss it, and he didn't miss how Shane's lips turned down into thin line and his eyes went momentarily blank. Then the moments gone and Ilya doesn't have time to think about it after being ASSAULTED by the rabbit seconds later, but the memory will stick.

Later, much later when they are actually together, maybe even after they are married, I think that perhaps Ilya sees a photo of Baby Shane sitting with his childhood jellycat on a worn-looking couch in an old photo album he's thumbing through and Ilya's like instantaneous heart-eyes and teasing about it and normally Shane is shyly embarrassed by the attention or otherwise bored and goodnaturedly like "fuck off" but this particular photo makes Shane lock up and even Yuna who was analyzing tape with Shane while Ilya indulged is oddly quiet and unresponsive about the photo. I feel like David would be the one to explain, too honest and awkward for his own good and responds to Ilya's "aw and who is baby Shane's little friend?" with a really stilted and harrowed, "that was Bun-edict. Shane's old jellycat." Then all the sudden Ilya has a million questions and this is touchy for both Shane and Yuna and he eventually catches on that he should just turn the page, maybe Yuna gets up and leaves and David follows after her and Shane just sits in silent consternation while Ilya looks on in confusion before Shane just purses his lips, a sad sort of smile in the tilt of his lips, and just leans forward and turns the page of the album. He only mumbles in an overconfident self deprecating way that does nothing to mask how much he cares, that it "took him way to long to grow out of stuff like that."

Of course this basically cleared up nothing for Ilya but he's nothing if not observant and good at subtly researching information before an attack so he gathers data and lays in wait. At some point he remembers that little rabbit plushie he jokingly gave him all those years ago and I like to think that Shane would be a little more open with Ilya at this point in their relationship. Maybe Shane has become more transparent about the loneliness of his childhood. Not necessarily out the blue talking about the bullying, how he was ostracized for how he looked, how sensitive and talented he was, how Ottawa wasn't made for people like him, but maybe in quiet ways. Maybe he starts to unmask little by little with Ilya, maybe he mentions how he wished he could have known Ilya when they were young, (he's saying this to try and comfort Ilya about his own troubled childhood), but then he lets it slip how nice it would have been, to have someone to talk to about hockey, how he would have probably annoyed Ilya away from him with how much he used to like to blab before he learned better. It's always small, seemingly insignificant comments, but Ilya catches them and is always a little surprised by how Shane, his lovely husband, could think so lowly of himself, how lonely he always seems to be even as an adult, as if he doesn't quite know that its possible that his people enjoy his company to the point where he talks about actively trying to give his friends, (Rose, Hayden, Jackie) breaks from him. As Ilya learns more about his sensory issues too, I think vague pieces flit together, not necessarily making a picture, but giving Ilya a reason. Shane deserves soft things that bring him comfort. Shane enjoys soft things, (hands brushed at the grocery store against fluffy looking blankets as if searching), and Shane seems to think its wrong that he wants them. I think this is something that in a round about way comes back to bite Shane in the ass because he's always pampering Ilya with whatever he finds out that he likes. Brands that Ilya are partial to shipping from expensive and authentically Russian shops for ingredients and soap and oils and clothes, and Ilya is going to give that attitude right back. I think he usually hesitates to buy Shane anything as a surprise because he's so particular, but for this the information is readily available. Jellycat.

I think that through his research he learns how important plushies can be for sensory issues and autism and he starts to piece and more and more together until he knows how delicate the topic will be to broach. He buys the Bashful Bunny with the same flower decorated ears as the one from the photograph, and he keeps it hidden. He wants Shane to have it but he doesn't want to hurt him with it, with all it entails, and so he just holds onto it. Then one day finds it while he's cleaning out one of the closets in the guest room for a winter cleaning detox, and Shane doesn't mention it, just puts it back in the box and later that night or maybe later that week when their both quiet in bed, Shane runs one of his socked feet up Ilya's calf to get him to look away from CandyCrush and then says, "Tatami Perfume Oil" and Ilya is confused and tilts his head like a puppy and Shane isn't really looking at him, he's just looking vaguely in front of him with his hand resting under his head as he lays on his side and takes a deep breath. He says, "It's what my mom used. To make Bun-edict smell. You know. Like home I guess." and Ilya is surprised but not really at all and he breathes through his nose and nods and runs the back of his fingers up against Shane's freckles and says, "I will ask Yuna for brand tomorrow, da?" and Shane leans into his hand, reaches up and grips his wrist with his fingers, runs his hands through Ilya's hair and nods, just continues to nod until he's squished up against Ilya's chest with his nose in his neck, knowing that he fits perfectly, like a puzzle piece against his side.

UMMM HI HELLO YES PLS this would be everything to me 😍😍😍

if i had any semblance of talent for this, i would make a whole family album. little baby shane with his first baby food, baby shane in a dino onesie, baby shane in his playpen with a puck plushie (because you know yuna would), toddler shane running away naked from yuna after a shower, toddler shane in his arm floaties at the pool, little boy shane not as fat anymore but still with a chubby round face stuffed into jackets and gloves and pads learning to skate, all of it with his squishy chubby face and baby fat rolls everywhere 😍😍😍😍😍😍 little bonus: i have a friend whose every photo as a child after like 4 yo is her with the sourest look on her face, like 😑🙄😒😤😠 and i fully picture shane being that way ahahah most pictures, especially if he wasn't posing for them, he has his angry kitten face on. yuna and david say most of the time he wasn't even very upset that day, it's just what his face did at the mildest inconvenience xD

PLEASE POST THE BEAUTIFUL HOLLANOVLING DOODLES YOU SHARED ON TIKTOK 🥹🫶

here they are !! ☺️<3

[smokey-ilya]

for mother’s day, harris creates a social media post featuring some of the centaurs as babies. unbeknownst to shane, ilya gives harris an iconic fat baby shane photo where he’s lounging in a bouncy, teething on a mini hockey stick. shane doesn’t even know this happened until the group chat starts buzzing...

[ilya-sweetheart]

hollanov on separate bedrooms

jackie: yeah separate bedrooms can be a blessing! i love hayden but sometimes i need my own space

shane: ????

hayden: it’s healthy for couples to get a breather! and it makes it more romantic when we share our bed again <3 even tho you kick in your sleep babe ahah

ilya: okei….

(later, at home)

ilya: don’t you ever dare sleep in a separate bed from me i will hunt you down

shane: fuck no never — also when you kick me in your sleep i just kick you right thefuck?? like grow a pair hayd, jeez

ilya: ok i see your point but maybe hayden shouldn’t kick his wife

shane: you’re right jackie should just kick him harder

ilya: exactly! we should be marriage counsellors, solving everybodies problems ))

[smokey-ilya]

this is ilya when shane attempts to put away his baby album, whining that ilya’s had enough “fat baby shane time today” even tho there’s no such thing as enough fat baby shane time

[chubby-cry-baby]

harris creates ILYA JEOPARDY for ilya’s 32nd birthday and the centaurs are hyped to see who can get more points than Shane; Bood and Ilya have been captains for years together, Troy and Ilya are best friends, Wyatt and Ilya have their own captain-goalie relationship, Luca is his mentee etc etc all the centaurs have their own thing with Ilya. “yeah Shane’s his husband but I saw him everyday for practice for years I think I’ll get some points in there”. AND the questions aren’t even that hard “what does Ilya order at osmows” “what’s his pre game ritual” “what’s his favourite city” “what’s his favourite gatorade flavour” - the centaurs keep getting the answers like 20% incorrect and shane gets to swoop in and correct them, “it’s actually a loon not a duck actually” “that is NOT his favourite fast and furious” “he doesn’t like blue he likes the light blue gatorade”. Ilya can’t even act nonchalant he feels insanely loved.

[grabmyboner]

i lied im not sleeping im thinking about sugar daddy shane buying a $250,000 watch for ilya and ilya wearing it everyday and then they’re getting ready in the locker room for practice and someone whistles super loud and is like “damn cap, you spent my entire salary on that watch or what” and ilya takes it off gently and places it in his duffle and looks up at all the boys looking at him “no, shane bought it for me.” and then everyone is hootin and hollering and shane walks in from the physio room smiling at the antics asking everyone what’s going on and someone is like “roz just told us you’re his sugar daddy.” and shane rolls his eyes and starts getting his skates out “so i like buying pretty things for my pretty husband, sue me.” and ilya is like “you think i am pretty?” and shane frowns cutely “of course baby.” and then the entire locker room starts gagging and someone yells out GAAAY and then ilya is like “i will show you gay! Shane take off your pants.” And then shane throws a sock at him. anyways they fuck after practice and shane calls Ilya his pretty boy when he rides him.

Once Ilya and Shane are well into their 60s, retired after building a hockey empire together and cementing their legacy together and their rivalry is just an entertaining prologue to their big, beautiful story, the league creates another player award. Not for an individual, but for a pair. Not a couple necessarily, but two players who work together both on and off the ice to make their corner of the world better.

The award, of course, is the Hollander-Rozanov Trophy, and is referred to as the Hollanov award. For as long as they are able, Shane and Ilya are on the committee that selects the winners and get to announce the winners at the MLH awards in the summer.
