New Beginnings on AO3

"English is… is not first language,” the woman said quietly. Her accent was thick, and unmistakably Russian. “Oh, sorry! I’m speaking too fast, aren’t I? Sorry,” she took a breath, and held out her hand. “I’m Yuna,” she repeated. The woman took her hand quickly, her hands bony and delicate. “Irina,” she replied, before gesturing for Yuna to sit with her. Quickly, Yuna did. “Sorry, I have not been in Canada long.” “No problem at all; welcome to Canada! Is that your boy?” Yuna asked, gesturing over to the child that had similar hair to Irina, which was poking out from under his helmet. He was taller than Shane, though his little hockey outfit still seemed to still dwarf him. He had a serious look on his face, but his eyes were light as he watched the other boys play. He was tapping his stick on the ice, clearly itching to get into the game. “Ah, yes,” Irina nodded, taking a few seconds to translate the question, “Ilyusha.” Irina looked over at her son, a small smile on her face. “Is my Ilya.” Or: Ilya and Irina move to Canada for a fresh start when he is six years old. He meets Shane Hollander at ice hockey practice, and they grow up together (and of course, fall in love).

I do think that whenever Ilya calls Shane and Shane doesn't pick up, Ilya leaves a voicemail. And the voicemail can be anything from, "Come find me," because they got separated at the mall, to "Hello hello, I miss you, oke bye" because Shane has been out of the house all day. There's also, "Coffee shop says they don't sell your tea anymore. Tell me what you want instead. I leave in three minutes. Bye-bye." and "I will not be home when you get here. Running away to join circus. Maybe will be back with Thai food. Mwah mwah."

This is also how Shane ends up getting into his car, seeing that Ilya left a voicemail, and unthinkingly playing it through the speakers of the car only for the deep voice of Shane's Russian-accented husband to boom, "Answer your fucking phone. Slut." with both the windows and moon roof open.

Finding a fresh new daydreaming plot is honestly the best feeling.

it is so important to me that the league's designated bad boy 😎 is in a relationship with the league's designated good boy 🤓 and that the bad boy isn’t as bad as he seems 🥺 and that the good boy isn’t as good as he seems either 😏

I heard we were talking about high!Ilya on painkillers today and I know it’s cheesy but I do think Mr. Big Husband Guy would absolutely be one of those dudes who looks at Shane after he comes out of a minor procedure and just. Loses his shit. Huuuuuge smile, cannot stop looking at Shane and calling him beautiful and nice and asking him questions in a very poor attempt at flirting. He thinks he’s being slick when he outright asks if Shane is married.

And Shane is like, “yeah, I’m married to you.”

This is the greatest news Ilya has ever heard. “What?” He asks, happy tears springing to his eyes. “Me?”

“Yeah.”

“For real?”

“Yeah, Ilya, of course. I love you; we’re married.”

“You love me?”

“Yeah,” Shane laughs. “A lot.”

“Wow. Wow.” Ilya is stunned. “I really married you?”

“Yeah look.” Shane takes his hand and shows him the wedding band on his finger before showing off his own. He presses a sweet, chaste kiss to Ilya’s mouth and the poor guy melts.

“Oh wow,” Ilya sighs. Then pauses. “Wait, come back here. We’re married, come—”

And that’s how Shane manages to find himself sloppily making out in Ilya’s tiny hospital bed, with Ilya murmuring wow every other kiss.

HEATED RIVALRY 1.05 "I'll Believe in Anything"

I like to think that Ilya’s jealousy would largely evolve into smugness once they’re married.

Yes, Ilya is canonically VERY jealous. But we’ve only known Ilya in a dark, insecure place where he can’t claim Shane as his. Once they’re married and the world knows it? I feel like he’d be the smuggest man on earth

Like, okay, he’s always gonna feel weird about the Rose Landry of it all, considering the circumstances. And he’s probably still gonna feel something feral unlock in him when people at bars get bold enough to hit on Shane

But when Shane does another shirtless photoshoot and thousands of fans are posting about how hot he is? About how badly they want him? About how they’d give anything for just a chance to lick his abs? That’s music to his ears. He scrolls through every post gleefully

He wants to reply to every post with “I won, I won, I won, fuck you, you lost you fucking loser, I was smart enough to call dibs as a teenager and he’s belonged to me since”, but for his husband’s sake, he restrains himself. He posts a picture of Shane smiling at him adoringly while drinking tea alongside one of their interlocked hands, wedding bands practically glistening in the light, and captions it something corny like “Mornings with my love 😍”

But anyone with any sense knows he really means “I won I won I won, he’s mine, always mine, only ever mine, I WON”. And then he goes upstairs to fuck Shane, because unlike these thousands of drooling fans, he CAN. He takes a moment to admire Shane flushed and begging and panting beneath him and can’t hide his smirk, because…fuck. What a gorgeous trophy

ilya really really really wants a secret door in their ottawa house, not the cottage the one they invite people to, purely bc he was really into spy movies as a kid and thinks it would be really cool. at first shane thinks it’s a stupid waste of money, but for christmas/ilya’s birthday he installs one that goes down to the basement, its like a bookshelf probably maybe it’s in the trophy room idk.

ilya sets up a den down there and it’s all cosy and shane ribs him for it and is like ‘oh you should show the team next time they come over for game night’ and ilya like ‘😒 would not be a secret door then would it kotenok’ so the cens don’t know about the door even though ilya is DYING to show them.

one day they have a gathering at the house and shane starts to get really overstimulated so he goes up to their room but people keep coming to find him and bring him back so eventually he just sighs and is like fine! i’ll use the stupid secret door! fuck it! and he disappears downstairs.

ilya’s like ?? where is husband?? he checks the house and can’t find him, people are asking where he is, and then it hits him and he feels so vindicated “shane thought secret door was stupid, is not so stupid now”.

once he’s efficiently gotten everyone out of the building he goes to find his husband in his cosy lil basement, all tucked up in blankets, having fallen asleep watching a hockey documentary and he carries him up to bed giving him a little kiss on the forehead

As someone who has also always dreamed of secret doors and rooms while growing up (but will never ever be rich enough to live somewhere where one could be installed), YES. And also, please imagine the SHENANIGANS POTENTIAL. Disappearing acts, APPEARING acts, especially in the middle of the night if they have friends or teammates over who are spending the night in a guest room or the couch or hell, a cot in said trophy room if many people stays over.

Especially if Hayden stays over. You KNOW Ilya especially would delight into making him think their house (and the trophy room especially) is haunted.

throwback to when my situationship asked if it was okay for them to use my towel and i said “there is not a single part of your body that towel will touch that i haven’t already—go for it” and i think that is also very shane and ilya coded

with how much ilya likes moving shane's face around at his leisure, i'm cackling about the idea of him being completely unprepared on the day shane does it to him

he's not looking at shane while he says something because he's reading a text from svetlana, and shane just huffs an annoyed breath and grabs him by the chin to demand his attention and ilya just

as he learns something new about himself
