a short au idea where shane goes to visit his girlfriend by surprise because he was on a work trip and when he knocks on her door it takes a while to swing open, and when it finally does he’s face to face with a half-naked man he’s never seen before and his girlfriend appears behind him and turns all apologetic and starts crying when she notices shane at the door and starts saying it’s not what it looks like and begging for forgiveness, but shane just stands there barely listening, only having eyes for the guy who’s leaning against the doorframe looking completely unbothered, smirking like he’s actually enjoying the whole scene, and it makes shane so mad, so he pulls his hand away from his ex’s grip, breaks up with her, and leaves. he goes straight to his car but doesn’t turn the engine on, just leans his forehead against the steering wheel and stays there for like fifteen minutes, until he hears someone knock on his window and looks up and it’s the guy, so he rolls the window down and snaps “what do you want?”and the guy goes “i didn’t know she had a boyfriend” and shane’s like “so what?” and the guy, smirking just like before, goes “if i knew she had a boyfriend who looked like you, i would’ve been chasing you instead of her” and shane’s thinking this situation is absurd (and secretly pleased) and just asks “what the fuck is your problem?” and the guy goes “my problem is that i clearly chose the wrong one, now you can help me correct it, right?” and he winks at shane, who just flips him off, rolls up the window, and drives away. later shane is at a bar telling what happened to his friends when someone slides into the booth next to him and it’s the guy and his friend rose goes “shane, this is ilya, he’s the guy i met at the painting class and was telling you that you two would be great friends” and shane is sitting there horrified and speechless while ilya gives him that same satisfied smirk and goes “oh shane, we’re definitely going to be GREAT friends” and now shane is truly fucked

Ilya always has a mop of frizzy wild curls at the cottage because

They're always in and out of the water – lake swims, pool swims, hot tub, showers – so doing his curl routine each time would be crazy when he could be spending that precious time sucking his boyfriend's dick.

Shane's not the biggest fan of how Ilya's styling products feel. He'll tolerate it, but Ilya can tell by his face that the texture isn't his favourite. Less product = more hair touching.

Shane's hands are always in his hair. When they're kissing. When they're watching a movie. When they fuck. When Ilya sits with his head in Shane's lap. When they're napping on the couch together. Shane's hands are usually full of a handful of Ilya's curls.

Shane seems to really like it. One time Shane said Ilya's fluffy hair made him look like a duckling and he's been chasing that high ever since.

He just prefers this version of him that doesn't need to look perfect and be perfect to be loved and adored. Shane never makes him feel lazy for letting his hair get a little wild over summer. He kisses his temples and tells him he's so fucking beautiful.

shane + grabbing ilya's hair

[bitchass97]

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.

Harris do his best as always

[fleabagsversion]

I reject the idea that Shane and Ilya are not equals on the ice. I understand these two have different skill sets but that doesn’t mean one is better than the other or that Ilya won’t play hockey as long as Shane. They were always equals and they were always supposed to stand together alone at the top. If Ilya hadn’t left for Ottawa he would be bringing more cups to Boston. Remember that Ilya still managed to take Ottawa to the playoffs (one of the worst teams in the league btw). He took his time yes, but by the end of TLG the og Captain Rozanov was back. Even Shane knew that. Shane himself admits in the books that Ilya is his only equal in the entire league because he gives him real challenge. So no, I don’t believe any one of them is the better player than the other.

[fleabagsversion]

Also the rivalry between them only worked because they are equally good at hockey. If one was better than the other, then the rivalry would not make sense and Shane would absolutely hate it

[raincitygirl76]

If either Shane or Ilya was obviously better than the other, the rivalry wouldn’t be nearly as intense. In fact, it would be insulting.

The whole point is that Shane and Ilya are both generational talents who happened to be born five weeks apart. And who play the same position (centre). The reason the public imagination is captured by the rivalry starting when they’re seventeen year olds in juniors is that they’re both so good.

The mantle of “best player in the league” is constantly shifting back and forth between the two of them. Because neither of them has a clear advantage over the other. That’s the entire point.

Maybe you could teach me Russian someday. Yeah, okay. Only useful phrases.
