DING DONG
Ilya watches as Shane bounces on the spot, fingers tapping against his thigh and breath coming out ragged. He reaches out and grabs his hand. âIt will be okay, Shane,â he reassures, rubbing his thumb over his knuckles. âTheyâll be shocked, but they wonât be mad.â
Shane takes a deep breath and nods. âYeah. Y-yeah, I know. Just gotta ease them into it.â
âYes, lets not give David a heart attack.â
Shane giggles, but abruptly stops at the sound of the latch.
Yuna looks between the two of them in obvious shock. âOh I wasnât expecting to see you boys tonight,â she exclaims, gesturing them into the house. She pulls Shane into a hug as he passes, which he falls into rigidly. âCongratulations on the win tonight! You did great, sweetheart! Sorry for the loss, Ilya,â she adds as she pulls back, reaching out for another hug.
âAh itâs okay. Weâve done good in the first few games, Iâll let him have this one,â he jokes with a wink.
âI thought I heard you two,â David says as he rounds the corner, drying his hands with a towel. âPerfect timing, we were just about to have some dessert to celebrate the win- and commiserate the loss, obviously.â
âOoh, something good?â Ilya asks, peaking over Davidâs shoulder.
âWell, youâll be pleasantly surprised to know that Iâve been practicing that sharlotka recipe, and I think this time I-â
âIâm pregnant.â
A sudden silence fills the room as all eyes turn to Shane, whoâs watching the floor, shaking heavily and breathing as though heâs ran a marathon.
âThatâs one way of easing them into it,â Ilya murmurs before stepping towards Shane, resting his hand on his shoulder. Shaneâs head snaps up at the contact.
âIâm gonna throw up,â he declares, pushing past everyone to run further into the house.
Thereâs a fic idea I had for another fandom years ago that I abandoned bc I kept psyching myself out about content warnings, but the concept would be kinda perfect for hollanov too and the fanbase (in terms of kink) lowkey has more of a tolerance level, so Iâm considering dabbling in it again if I hit writers block on my main WIP
i will always be troy barrett's #1 defender because i get it. between fight, flight, freeze, or fawn, troy chose fawn and i don't think he's wrong for that. you have to imagine a freshly drafted troy barrett, being on a team full of homophobic dicks, and being roomed with another rookie who is a total asshole but so confident and so loved. he reminds him of his dad, who he's always thought of as the quintessential male, and he thinks about how maybe he could make his father proud if he acted like that too. so he does. he's still scared, so fucking terrified, but now he can pretend. he's good at pretending. at some point, he's barely even pretending, and he's loved for it. he has a family, and friends, and when he really needs a break from pretending, he has his boyfriend. so what that it's all a lie? it's a lie that's keeping him safe. he's not going to bite the hand that feeds him. who cares if his stomach churns a little bit when he calls someone a fag, or if he looks at players like scott hunter with so much envious adoration? his dad is finally proud of him, and it's easier for him to just be who he's supposed to be rather than who he is.

Ilya only turns away from Shane at the sound of skates beside him.
âYâknow, when you first told me about you two I thought âthank god, Rozanov canât procreateâ.â Scott sighs. âI should have known the universe wouldnât be on my side.â
âBreaking news,â Ilya says dramatically, âthe Lord gave Shane Hollander a uterus just to spite Scott Hunter. What did you do? Forget to invite Jesus to your Bar Mitzvah?âÂ
âIâm not even Jewish.â A grin spreads across Ilyaâs face. âAnd I wasnât alive back then,â Scott quickly adds before he can comment. âI donât want to think about Hollanderâs uterus, either.â
âGood. Iâd break your wrist,â Ilya threatens, jabbing a finger towards Scott. It only makes him chuckle.
âYouâre so possessive-â
âBesides, youâre just jealous because *your* uterus has frozen over.â
âI donât *have* one. And I know that because, unlike some people, I actually got tested when I realised I was gay.â
Ilya scoffs. âLook at you, too good for condoms.â
Scott shakes his head in disbelief, but his retort is interrupted by Carter joining them. His smile is beaming as he looks between Ilya and Shane. âYou two are so adorable. I thought Iâd be weirded out by the bump- because, yâknow, you donât see it often- but he looks good!â
Scott places a hand against Carterâs chest and pushes him back slightly. âIf you value your wrist, stop talking.â
Ilya narrows his eyes with a smirk. âHey, Vaughn, you agree right?â
He tilts his head in a way that reminds Ilya of Chiron. âWithâŚ?â
âScott having a kid.â
âWHAT?!â Carter yells, drowning out Scottâs similar expression of shock. âOh my god, are you and Kip talking about kids?â
âNo! No, absol- no,â Scott stutters, head swivelling between the pair.
Ilya crosses his arms and tuts. âBut what about my poor Kipstopher? He would be a great dad.â
Carter nods enthusiastically. âThe best!â
âI canât even-â
âThere are other ways,â Ilya supplies unhelpfully. Carter starts bouncing with excitement.
Scott narrows his eyes at Ilya. âYouâre such an asshole.â
âMmm, yes,â Ilya agrees. âAn asshole with warm-ups to finish.â
He begins to skate away but Scott tugs his arm a little as he passes. âHey man, jokes aside⌠Iâm really happy for you two.â
Ilya looks back into the crowd. Shaneâs still slightly red, burying himself deeper into his hoodie. David notices him looking and waves again, which Ilya returns.
ilya, troy, harris, and shane driving together with the first 3 screaming along to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper and shane pretends to be like âthis is stupid weâre not girlsâ and the. halfway through joins them
Harris posts it on the centaurs instagram story and the comments are all about shane singing along with bright pink sunglasses on (rose left them and the sun was too bright)
we all know ilya loves trash tv, fashion, gossip, and pop culture. somewhere along the line, he ends up bored one night, and stumbles across a documentary about Princess Diana. big mistake
needless to say, ilya watches this story of a kind, beautiful, loving young blond woman whose rich and powerful husband abuses and resents her. she struggles with mental illness, and dies young, leaving behind two teenage sons. the youngest son becomes an exile from his home country, in large part because of who they chose to love. shane finds ilya crying so hard he throws up
I know the chances of these two fandoms overlapping are low but I wanna share a snippet from my possibly never gonna get written fic idea Cherry Magic AU

Shane Hollander is gay
This is a fact demonstrated by his multiple failed relationships with women.
And Shane Hollander is also a virgin, a notion backed by the only sexual experience he has being with his high school girlfriend, who tried to suck him off and gave up after realising he didn't get hard, which was so mortifyingly embarrassing he never attempted another sexual encounter again.
He is also, as of today, a 30-year-old, which is to say he is a 30-year-old virgin. Oh, and since this morning, he can apparently hear people's thoughts.
what people donât understand about how adhd is disabling is that itâs not just getting temporarily distracted from, like, school work or hobbies. itâs getting distracted/being unable to motivate yourself to go to the doctor, eat regularly, do hygiene tasks, etc. itâs not knowing when or how long it will take you to do something, ANYTHING, and in many cases that thing is taking a shower or keeping your house from turning into a biohazard. itâs about being fundamentally incapable of controlling your attention and focus on anything, even and especially things you need to do to survive.
