I need an AU where the only difference is when anyone first finds out about hollanov they turn to Ilya and say, “I didn’t know you had game like that. Mad respect.”

Okay okay okay but Ilya with erectial dysfunction!

Listen I love that they are freaks! But antidepressants can kill your sex drive and just *screams into the void* Shane seeing Ilya is having a hard time with his new meds and instead of getting frustrated or pitying him, he makes it into a game.

Oh no! I haven’t been a good enough boy to get your dick!? You’re going to edge me for hours?! You’re going to let me hold your cock in my mouth and not get hard so I can get what I want?! Have mercy on me!!!

And Ilya was just so fucking upset the first time it happened. Like genuinely devastated. Because so much of their relationship is built around sex and that along with the depression has him spiraling. What if I can’t ever get it up again?! What if Shane doesn’t want to be with me anymore?! Will he go find someone who can fuck him like I can’t anymore?!

So when Shane just holds him through his first breakdown about this he gets this look in his eye and does ALL the research.

Cock rings arrive by the dozen (gotta see what works best and is the most comfortable ;)). They reenact Vegas but this time with a much better ending. Ilya stays in the cuck chair with a remote control plug and just a fucks with Shane until he is cryingscreamingbegging for Ilya’s cock. And Ilya is just like, “No :) you have not earned it :)” and then turns it up to 11 and forces a orgasm. (Aftercare of course).

Just give me Ilya and Shane having to get experimental and Shane helping Ilya avoid the torment nexus that can be working on finding the antidepressants that work best. Please and thank you.

200k into a 600k word story when suddenly I’m hit over the head with dub-con riding on non-con (if you squint). Like bruh… there are tags for a reason. USE THEM!

And then I have to be The Asshole in the comments saying, “I can’t read this anymore, please properly tag this.” When I just know I’m going to get the, “don’t like, don’t read” line. Like I wouldn’t have read it if you tagged it properly.

Sorry but I thought we were past the jump scare trigger days of FF.net.

Worst of all 13/22 year old and it’s the 13 year old doing all coercion and grooming (not excusing the pedophilia)… like none of this was on my bingo.

Cliff having his not so straight awakening and having to rush to Ilya. BRO I DONT KNOW HOW TO SUCK DICK?!?!

[penandinkprincess]

Okay I am in love with Spaghetti and I’m imagining at some point Shane decides to get another snake but he wants a different species this time and Ilya’s like “okay I can probably handle a baby snake and then I’ll get used to it as it grows” except Shane brings home a red tailed boa. And this baby is already nearly as thick as full grown Spaghetti. And he’ll just get bigger from here. (Or even bring home a rescue adult because a lot of them get abandoned when they’re full grown so there’s suddenly just. A massive snake.)

I’m just imagining Shane being like “wow all of these people love me and Spaghetti this is so awesome” and feeling comfortable enough to get a second snake except this snake weighs 50lbs and eats whole quail and his enclosure is the entire walk-in closet of the snake room.

Shane loves walking around with his new buddy (free weight training) or cuddling on the couch (free weighted blanket).

GOD POOR ILYA

he's seen pictures of baby spaghetti and is like, "okay, maybe if i just am around it from the time it is very small, things will be better. i can adjust."

and then the "baby snake" shane wanted ENDS UP BEING! A STILL FUCK OFF BIG SNAKE!!

SHANE WHAT THE FUCK

[junkdrawertales]

someone surrenders a massive reticulated python to the local animal shelter, which does not have the space or the resources for it, but oh! Hey! One of the volunteers is friends with David and David’s son Shane has a large snake! Maybe he can take care of it until they find a permanent home!

The call comes when Ilya’s out with some friends visiting from Boston, and Shane couldn’t just say NO, the poor thing is cold and scared and it needs a home, and Spaghetti’s old tank hasn’t been dismantled since his upgrade, it’s big enough for a retic, so Shane picks up Wiggles and brings him home.

Ilya comes home two hours later with Marley and St-Simon in tow, all of them hyping each other up, hooting and hollering and yelling BRO! BROOOO! until Ilya freezes and fucking SHRIEKS. His beloved husband has brought home a MONSTER.

Marley and St-Simon think Wiggly is “fucking wicked, bro” because they are dirty dirty traitors.

[penandinkprincess]

(so i'm reading that reticulated pythons get REALLY complex with care after they're full grown just because that's SO MUCH fucking snake to move around, so i'm being nice to ilya and making it a ball python)

GOD WAIT ilya has volunteered at the animal shelter before and so they've heard him talk about shane having a massive snake

(BECAUSE IN *HIS* OPINION!! SPAGHETTI IS!! SO FUCKING BIG!! IT IS A SNAKE IN HIS HOME!! AND IT IS MASSIVE!)

but this means they call ilya, get sent to voicemail (which still says he's not going to respond), and then call shane (he's the emergency contact on ilya's volunteer paperwork) and are like, "hey, it's sarah down at the shelter. this is kind of a crazy ask, but would you have the ability to foster a ball python? i know ilya has said you have snake experience."

and shane is like, "uuuh let me call my husband and check, but sure. we haven't taken down spaghetti's older tank yet, and it's really big, so it should work fine." and then he texts one of the people out with ilya to tell him to call, and then shane runs him down with, "hey, sarah down at the shelter asked if we could take a snake that got surrendered. apparently they bought it for their kid but 'miss wiggles' got a little too much for them."

and POOR ILYA IS LIKE SURELY MY FRIEND SARAH WOULD NOT SEND A GIANT FUCK OFF SNAKE INTO MY HOME, WHERE I LAY MY SWEET HEAD. SURELY SARAH WOULD NOT DO THAT TO ME.

and it's name is miss wiggles! and it was a child's! yeah, sure, why not. is he thrilled? no. but he's used enough to it that a second spaghetti is fine, especially when there's nowhere else for the snake to go. (and listen. spaghetti is getting up there, and ilya is a little worried about how that's going to hit shane. so maybe this works out perfectly. new snake needs a home, shane gets a second buddy, and ilya can just. adjust.)

UNTIL HE GETS HOME AND LEARNS ABOUT WHAT ELSE LIVES THERE NOW.

SARAH, HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO HIM

[junkdrawertales]

Miss Wiggles has just aged out of her juvenile stage, and Shane takes very good care of her, so before long she's laid five eggs! Wow! Good job Miss Wiggles! Shane is very impressed! He's so proud!

Ilya, haunted: there's going to be MORE of them???

Shane: oh no, no, they're not fertilized. but it's good to know Miss Wiggles can lay healthy eggs! Maybe I can pair her up with another snake next year :) I've always wanted to try hatching snakes :)

Ilya: if you love me at all you will Stop This Nonsense Talk At Once

[penandinkprincess]

ilya hearing about how likely it seems that shane wants to explore snake breeding as a retirement hobby and is just welp. guess we're both going to play until we die.

[justacrowandhermurder-personal]

While not common (or healthy) parthenogenesis (self cloning) does happen in ball pythons.

It doesn’t have to happen but Ilya just knowing it’s a possibility would fucking haunt him.

[justacrowandhermurder-personal]

As someone with Bipolar 2 I see a lot of myself in Ilya actions. I know in the books he has depression but I’d like to make the case for bipolar 2 which tends to lean more heavily on the depression side than the mania that most media portrays. I just wish we had more bipolar characters who weren’t always shown as manic. It took me a long time to get correctly diagnosed (with more than clinical depression) because media always shows it as it as an extreme (like they do with autism). I think I’d be a neat parallel with how they handle Shane’s autism.

[needyilyarights]

whenever I do any stupid/ insecure reassurance seeking with my husband, he does an extended bit where he talks to me like a dirtbag frat bro with commitment issues

I’ll ask him if he still loves me and instead of reassuring me (which he shouldn’t) he’s like “no yeah like you’re pretty cool I guess um so I have my internship (we’re 32) like way earlyyyy so….but no yeah this was hot, I’ll definitely text you, Rachel (my name is Rebecca) we can link up, I’m free usually around Tuesday at like midnight?” (We share a bed and a bank account)

Anyway, I do think dismissive frat boy is a role play that gets Shane Hollander horny as fuck and Ilya has a lot of fun with that until one time Shane switches it up and pulls it on Ilya and Ilya is shocked but gets so instantly hard he’s dizzy.

One night after one of bood’s barbecues, they’re making out and Shane breaks the kiss to turn his baseball cap around and in the most obvious fuck boy voice is like “just letting you know we can fuck but I’ve got practice tomorrow so I can uber you home tonight, that’s cool right?” And they’re getting prepped and Shane is like “come on, condoms dont feel good, we don’t need it baby” and after Ilya is like “maybe we can see each other some time this weekend?” And Shane is like “I don’t know I have a lot going on with work.” And Ilya is like “can I please suck you again? Keep the hat on”

[himbomarleau]

You may think that the reason everyone in the game changer universe reacts to a player coming out by saying "it's not rozanov is it?" is because maybe he's a little effeminate and dresses sort of "european," but the real reason is because cliff and ilya say the gayest shit to each other like "marly you have a gorgeous cock" "thanks roz. The only ass I've seen better than your's is j-lo's"

They try to turn practice in to a shirts and skins scrimmage and everyone is like no??? We need our pads??? "What's the point of all of these beautiful muscular bodies if we can't even admire them?"

Every time they have a night off in a coastal city they're skinny dipping in the ocean and calling everyone who doesn't join them pussies. "Are you scared your dick will look small next to roz's monster cock?"

[shieldofiron]

Cliff Marleau would accidentally get an apartment in the gay district of Boston, purely because that’s where all the bros seemed to be. Plus his favorite gym is there and the bar where dudes buy him drinks.

[themenacewhowrites]

Now you see, this is the kind of nonsense I imagine Shane getting up to if his stick breaks or gets knocked out of his hands.

Most players: “Oh no! My stick is gone, I lost the puck!”

Shane Hollander the Monster That He Is: “Look Mom, no hands!”

Something both Shane and Ilya understood about hockey, that many other players didn’t, was that what separated good players from the greats was the ability and willingness to plan and engage in psychological warfare.

Shane and Ilya went about it in different ways but that didn’t change the fundamental truth: to be the best hockey player was to be ruthless.

[justacrowandhermurder-personal]

Working on the next chapter of my ruthless hollanov thing. I did not have Cliff Marleau falling in love with a genderqueer drag queen on my bingo board but I’m not mad at it. Now I have to think of a good drag name.

How does Kream Pi sound? For the obvious reason but also because of Boston cream pie and then maybe they’re a mathematician. It’s even funnier if their real name is Logan. Or is that too on the nose?

Dom/Sub Dynamics

This is based on the show alone.

I've seen a lot of people talk about Ilya and Shane having a dom/sub dynamic but in the show at least, I believe this isn't true. I think what is happening is that people are confusing a more experienced top and a willing inexperienced bottom with d/s.

The one time we get even close to it is during the Vegas scene. And it is so clear that during that scene, while they are both getting off, neither of them is in an emotionally stable place. It comes off more as trying to put emotional distance and also being "extreme" about the sex because of hurt feelings and how long it's been.

Watching your partner get off isn't by nature d/s.

And the closest we get to d/s after that is seen during the Tuna Handjob in episode 4.

Shane: You gunna cum for me, Rozanov?

Ilya: Fucking make me.

If anything, this reads as "bratty" sub behavior from Ilya.

But like I said, I don't think they have a d/s dynamic at all. By episode 4, any hint of nervousness or inexperience on Shane's part is gone. And by then you'll notice there are no more "commands" in the bedroom from Ilya to Shane.

The only time we ever really even get a command is during the Vegas scene and the "Get on your knees" from the first All Stars game. And the latter could easily be seen as Ilya trying to direct the situation away from Shane's nerves over Scott Hunter and back to sex.

Hell, I'll go a step further and say that, in the show at least, their sex life is extremely vanilla. There is no hint of any kinks in any of their sex scenes, with the exception of the exhibitionism in the shower scene in episode 1 which I think can be attributed to sheer horniness and not true exhibitionist tendencies. I wouldn't even consider the watching in the Vegas scene truly kinky (my man didn't even sniff the underwear).

And you know what? I like that their sex life is so boring. A lot of media with queer couples have them having non-vanilla sex, and because of that it makes gay sex itself seem kinky. I think this might be partially caused by the misogynistic view that the penetrating partner is also considered the submissive partner.

Shane and Ilya's sex life could easily be any non-sexually repressed, vanilla Midwest couple. Anyone could look at it and go, yeah that's me and my partner, nothing "unusual" or "taboo" there.

Just like we need more media of straight sex being seen as "kinky," we need more gay sex seen as "boring."

This isn't to say that they might not explore d/s and other kinks in season 2 or post show but as of season 1 there is no d/s or kinks. They have yet to have the time to get comfortable with each other to want to "spice things up". I'm also not saying Shane and Ilya don't have turn-ons/kinks, but that we have seen no set patterns to point to any. But definitely not d/s.

So yeah, their sex life is vanilla and that's okay.

Check out my other analysis.

[ilyannarozanova]

This may be a dangerously hot take in this fandom but I don't really see Shane and Ilya as having a dom/sub relationship, although when they're in a more stable place they could play with it for sure. The Vegas sex scene happened because Ilya got scared by how much he wanted to be soft and loving with Shane, not because he wanted to make Shane submit. And we all saw how miserable they both were after that. Yes, Ilya likes telling Shane what to do because Shane likes taking directions during sex, and Ilya likes making Shane comfortable and happy. But to me it reads more like Shane wanting to know he's doing it Right And Good the same way he loves being Right And Good at hockey. He likes sex and he wants to be the best at it. He is getting a good grade in sex, something that is normal to want and possible to achieve,,

[justacrowandhermurder-personal]

Hot take: Ilya is the one who has a million skin and hair products. Shane uses a 5 in 1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash/toothpaste/floor cleaner and nothing else, sunscreen when needed, and yet still has perfect skin. Ilya keeps trying to get Shane to use his expensive products and Shane just doesn’t get it. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Shane also only uses old spice deodorant. He used axe as a teen and when he first bought old spice he felt so grow up. The only thing he splurges on is lube and you can not convince me otherwise.
