Omg he really does know something about spiders
you're an awesome player to watch
was instantly enamoured with the snow leopard daemons in behind enemy lines by anonymous i love them sm
please don't ever become a stranger
whose laugh i could recognize anywhere
and isn't it just so pretty to think
all along there was some
invisible string
tying you to me?
я люблю шифр шекспира и своего жабьего твинка
i love shakespeare's code and my toad twink
SHANE & ILYA + parallels
I am currently vibrating out of my skin waiting for the HEATED RIVALRY finale and the cottage and the only thing that has kept me in the general vicinity of sanity has been the absolutely god tier fic. I can't tell you how many times I've had to practically shove my face into my hoodie to try to muffle the cackling laughter because I was not going to explain what I was reading to the people around me, but all the lolz-worthy fic really did help take the edge off the desperate intensity of feelings I had after episode 5.
I meant to post this sooner, but then wound up adding to it and adding to it because I couldn't stop reading and I still am further behind on my reading list than the last time I checked the tag on AO3. What an incredible fandom to get to watch explode, from this medium-sized book fandom I joined just a month before the show started, not even realizing that it was about to get such an incredible adaptation, but goddamn is there some fucking talent here. Hayden and Jackie are getting the love from fandom that they deserve! And you have no idea how many loopy!Shane or social media fics I have read and how each of them are incredible! Centaur team shenanigans! THIS FANDOM IS SO GOOD TO ME.
HEATED RIVALRY - NO I WON’T BE CHILL ABOUT THE GAY HOCKEY PLAYERS SHOW:
please leave a message by Ravenesta, ilya(/shane) & jackie & ocs, 2.4k Sarah Does anyone have the number for Shane's girl from Boston? I feel bad that they've been seeing each other for this long and we've never added her here. Jackie Oh good point! Let me ask Hayden. Jackie has added Lily to the conversation Lily what what is this
lost in translation by gurlsrool, ilya/shane & troy/harris & centaurs & oc, nsfw, 4.5k The Centaurs' newest rookie speaks Russian. It's too bad that Shane and Ilya don't know that.
it's a fine line (between love and hate) by londonfoglatte (nimbus2003), ilya/shane & centaurs, nsfw, 4.1k five times shane and ilya's friends worry they're are on the verge of divorce -- and one time they realize they're flirting.
don't ask (and i won't tell) by londonfoglatte (nimbus2003), ilya/shane & troy/harris & centaurs, NSFW, 4.2k five times shane and ilya's friends have questions about gay sex -- and one time they wish they knew less.
I'll be Your Father Figure by Signsofsam, ilya/shane & david, 1.5k Five posts David Hollander makes about Ilya, and one time Ilya returns the favor.
I'll Make It Better by imperfectcircle, kenopsia (indie), ilya/shane, 4.3k "Hey," Ilya says, magnetized and moving towards him. Shane looks — soft, he looks fine, so fucking breakable but not broken. "There's my man," Shane says, in a small voice, musical. Ilya closes the distance between them, needing to touch him and needing him to lower his voice in equal measure.
it started with a whisper by gurlsrool, troy/harris & ilya/shane & centaurs & cast, 5.8k When Adrian Dela Cruz reveals he dated an NHL player, chaos and damage control ensue. A story told through texts, tweets, and one pretentious Variety article.
The Waiting Game by Rizandace, ilya/shane & hayden & svetlana, 16k Hayden Pike and Ilya Rozanov are waiting for Shane to wake up after he took a bad hit on the ice. They get to talking.
still the best (still an asshole) by pucksandpower, ilya/shane & centaurs, NSFW, 18.2k Four times Ilya Rozanov reminded everyone exactly who the fuck they were dealing with (spoiler: still an asshole, still elite, still not going anywhere), and one time he didn’t have to be anything except soft.
Hop, Bunny, Hop by theemporium, ilya/shane, NSFW, 4.8k Or, a bet was made and Shane is a good sportsman. That is the only reason he is putting on rozanov's jersey. Promise.
Troublemaker by White_Noise, ilya(/shane) & (scott/)kip, 5k Kip's first outing as Scott's partner after the Stanley Cup results in an unexpected friendship with Ilya Rozanov.
The same number of stars by GlitterCity, ilya/shane, 2.9k “Ilya?” Shane said in that same dreamy, loopy voice as that morning. Ilya exhaled in a rush. “Shane,” he said, and wanted to sag against the glass with relief. “What happened? Is something wrong?” “Not! Any moooooooore.”
a long way to go by goldengalaxies, (ilya/)shane & hayden & j.j. & voyageurs, 2.2k "He's a fucking liar-" J.J shouted. The anger in his voice finally did it for Shane. The emotions bubbled over. "I get it okay! Yes, I lied! Fuck. But it wasn't just my secret to keep. Don't you get that?"
Concussion Protocol by cjr2, ilya/shane & cast, NSFW, 26.7k wip Instead of Shane, it is Ilya who suffers a concussion during the Boston-Montreal game in April 2017. Dazed and agitated, Ilya briefly starts speaking and responding only in Russian and the medics can’t calm him down. Luckily, Shane started studying Russian after Ilya spoke to him in Russian on the phone from Moscow.
Confidence, Poor Judgment, and a Death Wish by TheHeartWantsWhatTheHeartWants, ilya/shane & troy & centaurs, 17.5k wip “Hey, Ilya?” Troy asks, already regretting it. “I was actually going to ask you about someone.” The moment he says Shane Hollander’s name, the locker room goes quiet, and Troy knows he’s crossed a line he didn’t fully understand.
The Long Weekend by elephantshoes, ilya/shane, 2.8k A long weekend at Shane’s cottage is meant to be quiet, private, and uncomplicated. Then Ilya discovers canoes, wildlife, and the exact limits of Shane’s patience—and somewhere between turtles, bets, and stolen kisses, Shane realizes he’s already given Ilya more than a key.
The Way Hockey Is by Erisenyo, ilya/shane & cliff & hayden, 5.6k “Oh fuck,” Cliff hears himself say out loud as his brain suggests—something. “Roz and Holl…oh, fuck.”
Is Ilya Rozanov Really....? (A 5+1 story) by Ubiquitously_Ubiquitous, ilya/shane & ocs, 12k Is Ilya Rozanov really . . . ? Or after Ilya signs with the Ottawa Centaurs, five times Ilya’s new neighbors in Ottawa learned he was nothing like they expected, plus the one time he was.
All The Things He Said (Running Through My Head) by lipstickliterature, ilya/shane, NSFW, 6.7k In Episode 4, Shane leaves the nightclub with Rose. In the book, he leaves alone. But what if he had left with Ilya instead?
MORE RECS UNDER THE CUT because I have zero self-control about the amount of fic I want to shove at you all.

HEATED RIVALRY 1.06: THE COTTAGE + HRTwT VERSION
# ILYA ROZANOV IS A COMEDIAN
CONNOR STORRIE as ILYA ROZANOV HEATED RIVALRY (2025—)
hockey is my best friend you guys
babys first chirp (✿◡‿◡)
You feel it too, don't you? 🏒🔥
Am I alive? Am I dead? I have no idea anymore, because HEATED RIVALRY has killed me but also made me alive. I am in a constant state of both existences at the same time. The only thing protecting my fragile sanity is a thin bubble of absolutely fucking incredible fic and idk maybe some others need some places to start because this fandom has absolutely exploded with insane levels of top tier fic every single day now. So here's yet another list of fics that have been holding up my entire ability to pretend to be normal over the last week.
HEATED RIVALRY - NO I WON’T BE CHILL ABOUT THE GAY HOCKEY PLAYERS SHOW:
your good buddy lily by larry_larson, hayden & ilya/shane, 2.4k of all things, hayden doesn't expect a t-shirt to be the thing that exposes it all
still the best (still an asshole) by pucksandpower, ilya/shane & centaurs, 3.2k Four times Ilya Rozanov reminded everyone exactly who the fuck they were dealing with (spoiler: still an asshole, still elite, still not going anywhere), and one time he didn’t have to be anything except soft.
could you look like mine (just for the night) by treescape, ilya/shane, NSFW, 1.4k When Shane slips into the hotel room in Boston, there's a familiar jersey spread over the bed—Raiders, number 81, Rozanov in stark white lettering jeering up at him. "Not a chance," Shane says immediately.
where the pressure goes by harshestrealm, ilya/shane & yuna, 2.1k Ilya always knew coming out was going to change his life. He just didn’t expect Shane’s mom to be leading the charge.
it’s so hard to believe (but it’s all coming back to me now) by placebythering, ilya/shane, NSFW, 13k After Rose, after Florida, but having barely reconciled since, Shane and Ilya are stuck in Montreal during a snow storm. Shane offers for Ilya to stay in his apartment, and offers up the rest of his heart with it. Or, an alternate take on what happens after Episode 4.
The Shane Hollander Thing by fandom_commitment_issues, ilya(/shane) & cliff, 7.6k Cliff Marlow has been on Boston’s team with Ilya Rozanov for the last seven years. Last week, he figured out the Shane Hollander thing.
taste of control by beetlesandstars, kryptonian, ilya/shane & hayden & yuna & anya, NSFW, 11.2k Shane's restrictive eating versus Hayden Pike and Ilya Rozanov.
nothing but some heartburn, baby by lotts (SirMxALotts), ilya/shane, NSFW, pregnant!shane, 4.6k Most people in Shane’s position would call a doctor after two positive tests, but Shane isn't most people, so instead of doing that, he takes 17 tests over the course of two days. Final result: 16 positive, one negative.
fresh out of any good judgment by gurlsrool, ilya/shane & hayden/jackie, nsfw, 5.4k “I don’t hate him!” Hayden says, which is only true because hate doesn’t quite capture it. No, he despises Rozanov. In his defense, everyone with a pulse and without the last name Hollander does.
come unfold by alspancakes, ilya/shane, NSFW, 7.7k “I want one day,” Shane interrupted Ilya’s inner meltdown with, really, the only acceptable response. “And then we can…” Shane trailed off. “Then we can, I don’t know. Reset.”
tripping on the edge by UglyGreenJacket, ilya/shane, NSFW, 4.5k Or after Shane trips during that fateful game, Ilya refuses to let him face the aftermath alone.
Only You (Could Ruin Me Like This) by OpalApparition, ilya/shane, NSFW, 16.4k That girl at the club meant nothing. Shane drunk-texting Ilya at 2 AM means everything.
Welcome Home by FestiveFerret, ilya/shane, NSFW, 2.5k Shane had been playing for the Centaurs, in Ottawa, with Ilya, for six weeks now and he still hadn't moved in.
still the best (still an asshole) by pucksandpower, ilya/shane & centaurs, NSFW, 10.8k wip Four times Ilya Rozanov reminded everyone exactly who the fuck they were dealing with (spoiler: still an asshole, still elite, still not going anywhere), and one time he didn’t have to be anything except soft.
MORE RECS UNDER THE CUT because I couldn't do that to your dashes twice in a single week.
those last three minutes in episode 5 feels like this, kinda
this is not enough.
