shane’s mind going blank on a call with jj so he’s like “il y a…. uh…. il y a…” meanwhile ilya’s like

[hollandermfer]

some of connor’s expressions of pure unmitigated and open devotion that he makes ilya have at the cottage when looking at shane make me nauseous almost from how good they are. and in my musings on them i’ve been realizing recently that, bc of their relationship progression, we’re going to get less “can’t acknowledge or express his love for shane on his face in any way especially around the man himself” ilya in season two so we’ll get so many more iconic down bad expressions from his puppy dog eyes and cupid’s bow lips like woah… we need to batten down the hatches

Your heated rivalry WIP rec list is a thing of beauty. I found so many new favourite fics - your taste is amazing (should have known this from your writing alone really). Do you have any other favourites in the fandom because i will follow you off a cliff.

this is so sweet thank you!! i'm really glad you enjoyed the WIP rec list :)) i'll use this as an opportunity to share the love on more fics! again, no particular order and varying vibes hah

shane is outed before the draft, and ends up 7th pick going to ottawa. ilya/shane in this make me feel sooo many things, this is an absolutely gorgeous friends to lovers

Everything is fine by Tamystardust (33k)

after the fight on boxing day, but before the plane incident, shane joins a centaurs bbq. unfortunately, said bbq is a bit overshadowed by some massive metros homophobia. but shane is fine, really, everything is fine.

this home on ice by @corvidcordelia (23k)

i don't know where to start with this one but it's a gorgeous mixed media fic - there's texting, internet research, an 'am i gay' quiz, and so much more. some angst but also a lot of fluff, this is a comfort fic for me

black dog by delagauchetiere (68k)

ilya/shane are neighbors and ilya loooves shane's dog... i don't want to say more bc spoilers but this was gorgeously written and incredibly good

"Tell me everything, Shane Hollander's ex-girlfriend Jessica" by doctor_roc_roger (17k)

in the 2-year period where ilya is #chasingthathole, he runs into jessica and gets some intel to help him #getthathole. this turns into an ilya/jessica friendship that i absolutely adoreeee this was so funny and fun

anybody like you by plonk (50k)

shane reconnects with his figure skating buddy joe at the olympics and ends up... making real friends!! this is such a beautiful shane character study and i fell in love with every character (also features figure skater ilya)

Heaven is a bedroom by @thomasmomwell / Charlotte_Stant (18k)

au where shane is a mormon missionary and ilya wants to smash... fair warning if you have religious trauma but this was SO GOOD and if you're worried pls see tag "better living through enthusiastic gay sex"

A Mean Boy From Boston by @willowmckinley (15k)

yuna walks in on ilya/shane, and ilya is not afraid to be the bad guy. featuring some very firm boundary setting, and both ilya/shane being menaces

World on Your Shoulders by Latigra (15k)

ok so this whole series is amazing, but in this fic specifically shane's new rookie is being blackmailed by a male hookup. the unreliable narrator here is sooo good and this shane characterization (bitchy shane!!!) is one of my absolute favs

the raiders watching their captain giggle and blush at his phone after losing to montreal:

[hollandermfer]

i feel like we as a collective honestly downplay the amount of russian shane speaks in the long game, especially during sex scenes, and can i just say…. that is gonna be so buzzy to see on screen

[hollanov-fics]

Hiii I was going through the time travel recs and immediately wondered, is there one where they both time travel? Maybe together or separately they find out they’re back in the past?

omg yes hello here's some

Something Tells Me You're Afraid of Nothing

by sailor_bonnibel

Hindsight often brought things into perspective. Shane believed that if he were ever handed the keys to a time machine, he wouldn’t change anything about his life. But now that he was metaphorically sitting in the driver’s seat, keys in the ignition, he realized that was a fucking lie. or Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov find themselves back in 2017.

In Another Life (It's You, It Will Always Be You)

by Amee19

The last thing Shane and Ilya expected when they died after living a long, happy life together was to wake up back in their 17 years old bodies the day they first met. They get to redo everything together and to fix what they got wrong the first time.

this one was rec'd by a follower in one of the time loop recs...somewhere around here idk lol but i'm linking it again because <3333

it's a dance (we know the moves)

by anne_with_an_eth

Groundhog Day AU *** At the faceoff, Rozanov always chirps at him, and Shane never bothers with a response. “Pity you didn’t show up for the first period, Hollander.” “Zero points today. Getting tired already, Hollander?” “No goal on the power play, such a shame, Hollander.” “How do you say ‘Sorry for losing’ in French, Hollander?” Rozanov is — relentless, Shane will give him that. And Shane is — tired, mostly. “How do you get even more insufferable with each day?” he mutters under his breath one day. Rozanov looks up from the puck sharply. Shane wins the faceoff.

[balalaijka]

heated rivalry recs part 2 (part 1 here)

Teeth - the story of ilya rozanov as told by dental trauma, incredibly sharp prose that made my jaw ache in sympathy

sympathy fuck - if you ever thought about how quickly ilya went from "my dad's dead" to "hey let's fuck" and went huh, this is for you

nothing makes me feel as good - jj boiziau & his relationship with the terrifying creature that is shane hollander, really hits the sweet spot of shane's characterization as the guy who's so good at one thing that you either love him, hate him, or both

2.0 - people assume ilya is david's son more than shane, with all the heartbreak that comes with it

Decisions, Decisions - the slippery slope to 24/7 total power exchange, or as one comment puts it "Why did this FEEL like 22k of porn without there being ANY smut what so ever that's SKILL"

daisy chain - hanahaki, or the absolutely terrifying realization that if you get the surgery you will live but will you, really? if so much of yourself is caught up in one person?

crossfire - shane/ilya/marleau threesome that's just. so hot in that dripping-in-luxury-and-bad-decision-making way

advice from fools - shane hollander handles being a boyfriend (not ilya's) with uh. a certain amount of grace. which is zero. absolutely fascinating man

that'll leave a mark - i never get tired of "shane & the inherent violence of hockey" fics and this one also has beautiful outsider povs along the different fights

And a Sense of Guilt I Can't Deny - a yuna fic that made me ugly sob

A Longing as for Sin's Beguiling - the love triangle between you, the man you're attracted to and the man you've translated him as onto your desires

[hollandermfer]

i feel like about 60% sure that jack innanen has at least been in talks about being cast as troy barrett and (judging by some reactions to speculation that that’s the case) if you bitches don’t act normal about that if/when it’s announced oh my god. here’s just a big ole preemptive leave him alone and let them cook

Heated Rivalry | Uppies

[karalynlovescake]

honestly I feel like within two hours of meeting each other in real life they each practiced picking the other person up.
