a really important thing to remember about shane and ilya’s sexual dynamic FOR ME is that ilya likes shane submitting to him precisely because he respects him so much

he’s literally a hollander fanboy, he calls him “perfect” numerous times, he watches in a blend of jealousy and reverence as shane beats him in every arena, he stalks him online and watches his stupid documentary, he is in complete awe of that man and so its super fucking sexy when that man drops to his knees a second after ilya tells him to or literally begs him to fuck him

and its not about putting shane in his place either, its hot because shane WANTS to do it so badly, its another form of respect in a way, respect for shane’s willingness and obedience and eagerness to please

and ive said this before but ilya one thousand percent gets off on the idea that shane is this clean cut goody two shoes golden boy and only ilya gets to know what he does behind closed doors

i dont think ilya even innately wants to dominate shane the way shane definitely wants to submit to ilya, but its sooooo hot to him that he gets to

Role Model & The Long Game Tandem Read

I've been thinking about this for a while and wanted to put together a tandem read chapter list for these two amazing books. I haven't actually done this yet but maybe when I finally get my hands on the physical copies of these books? (the new covers are great and i can't wait!!)

0. Halloween with Ilya (posted here on Rachel Reid's website, a short and sweet story taking place before the start of The Long Game)

1. TLG ch. 1-16 & first half of chapter 17 (ends at "At least this day wouldn't be total garbage.")

2. RM ch. 1 & 2

3. TLG the rest of chapter 17

4. RM ch. 3 & 4

5. TLG ch. 18

6. RM ch. 5 (here we have the first really overlaping scene described in both POVs) & ch. 6-7

7. TLG ch. 19 & 20 (This is also a good place to read the short story Countdown, available here. Too much stuff happens later on to fit this anywhere else.)

8. RM ch. 8 & 9

9. TLG first half of chapter 21 (ends at "Coach laughed and clapped him on the shoulder. "Yeah, but not in Ottawa."")

10. RM ch. 10 & 11

11. TLG rest of chapter 21

12. RM ch. 12

13. TLG ch. 22 & 23

14. RM first half of ch. 13 (ends at ""Yeah, I can't bring myself to care about that right now."" - We're getting into the plane part of the storyline, which is pretty crucial for both books, so this is gonna be a bit difficult, but stay with me. I figured the description of events in Role Model took precedence since it came out first and this is all the fans knew before The Long Game came out.)

15. TLG ch. 24

16. RM rest of ch. 13

17. TLG first part of chapter 25 (ends at "impossible wait" - That's not strictly chronological, but it felt like the best place to interrupt this Role Model bit.)

18. RM ch. 14-15 and first part of ch. 16 (ends at "Happiness, he supposed. "Me too."")

19. TLG rest of ch. 25

20. RM next part of chapter 16 (ends at ""I like those show-off goals of yours a lot more when we're on the same team."" - I know it's getting even more complicated! Stay with me! Hold my hand!)

21. TLG ch. 26

22. RM rest of ch. 16 (finally done!) & ch. 17-21

23. TLG ch. 27-28

24. RM ch. 22-23

25. TLG first part of ch. 29 (ends at ""And we will make sure to embarrass your old team that night."")

26. RM ch. 24

27. TLG rest of ch. 29

28. RM ch. 25 & 26

29. TLG ch. 30-39 + Epilogue

If you have any suggestions on how to make this better, definitely add them! I can't wait to actually do this tandem read!!
