[plain-flavoured-english]

As a Greek, in response to the current controversy about Matt Damon being cast as Odysseus, I'd just like to share that one of the moments that changed my brain chemistry as a kid was reading a novelized version of the Odyssey and coming across the following description of Odysseus when Circe sees him for the first time and thinks he's hot: "his hair curled like a clematis and his eyes were very brown".

So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:

[plain-flavoured-english]

Excuse me???

[ruffboi-mags]

you are right and you should say it.

[instantduckninja]

Is this the face of a man who would put his own infant in front of a plow to avoid going to war?

Absolutely not

You know who would try that shit?

Is this the face of a man who would defy the very gods to get home to his wife?

You know who would defy the gods just to show he could get away with it?

Heated Rivalry fic recs - social media (part 2 of 10) (apparently I have a lot of these)

Some of these are entirely social media, some are social media mixed with texting and exposition. It was hard to separate the different types out so I stopped trying too hard. I felt these fics had a significant enough portion of social media to warrant the grouping.

caoilfhionn✨@hollanderbackgirl Replying to @shanehollandersthong bro if I had a nickel every time shane hollander was cancelled online because his weird ass texts with lily were leaked i’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Shane Hollander likes to think he keeps his image pretty clean. Social media loves finding reasons to disagree. it's not gay if it's ur bro! by persimmon_tea Rated T, 7,517 words

cens and censibility @ottawagirly is there a reason why 8 million different hockey players have decided to post pics of themselves kissing each other with tongue or????????

Or, Hayden Pike is freaking out after accidentally posting a video of Shane and Ilya making out on his fanmail. Luckily, he has a groupchat of hockey players determined to help them play it off. The internet is mostly just confused?

shane & ilya: certified homophobes by goldengalaxies Not Rated, 3,167 words

Rozanov hello this is ilya rozanov

Rozanov can you please stop with this

Rozanov i am not homophobic

Rozanov hollander is not homophobic 

Rozanov you are making my life very hard🙄🙄

Vaughny maybe u should stop being a homophobic asshole

Scott Well, I’m glad to hear you’re not homophobic but I’d love to see some actual proof of that first.

Rozanov i hate you both

Rozanov one moment

Rozanov i wanted to send picture of me fucking my boyfriend as proof

Rozanov but he said no😣😣😣😣

(after a misunderstanding, ilya is cancelled for being homophobic to scott hunter. when shane and ilya announce their friendship, shane is also cancelled for the association with a 'homophobe')

[hollanovarchive]

Are there any fics where either Hollanov or their friends and family joke about one of the boys "baby trapping " the other?

Baby Trapping

🏒 meet me in the middle | 2.1k

Shane and Ilya baby trapped each other with baby number two

🏒 Home Team Biases | 3.8k

The accidental baby-trapping of Ilya Rozanov, in the form of one very dedicated Centaurs fan

🏒 Ilya Has a Plan, Shane is Not Not Into it | 6.4k

Ilya realizes that if he wants to get Shane pregnant, he needs to take matters into his own hands.

🏒 Heat Trap | 10.4k

There was no way Shane was planning a heat, right? Stopping his suppressants in time for Ilya to get to the cottage would be wildly out of character. Maybe Ilya was wrong. The new pack could be anywhere

🏒 milk and honey | 15.9k

Someone's killing powerful Alphas in the Boston underworld in strange and untraceable ways, and it's giving Ilya, next head of the Rozanov family, a fucking headache. On a different note, Shane - only son of the Hollander family, lowly Omega and known airhead - has just shown up on his doorstep, smelling of pre-heat and looking good enough to eat.

🏒 If You Want to Parlay That’s at My Place (We be Fucking All Day) | 16.5k

Ilya finds out Shane wants to baby-trap him and he is very much on board with the idea.

🏒 i'd share a life (and you'd share a life) | 18.1k

Shane, convinced that Ilya will leave him, decides there is only one way to keep the love of his life around: a baby. Little does he know, Ilya has come to the same conclusion

🏒 Of Ice and Men | 63.0k

🔒 Shane and Ilya weren’t technically dating exclusively. Ilya could technically do whatever he wanted, but that technicality was mostly a glass wall in their relationship. Ilya should have known better than to go this far. Ilya knew Shane would see this. Ilya knew how jealous Shane got. Ilya knew, and he did it anyway. Obviously, Shane needed to tighten his leash. If Ilya wanted babies, he should have known that his only choice was Shane

🏒 far from done growing up | WIP

lya is a teen dad who may or may not have accidentally baby trapped Shane Hollander

🏒 we've always been terrible | WIP

where Shane is a player forced to retire due to injury, and Ilya is a mobster obsessed with hockey. They try to baby trap each other because they conclude that Shane needs to get pregnant so they'll be stuck together

🏒 Ilya Rozanov, Babytrap Extraordinaire | WIP

At the age of nineteen, Ilya Rozanov decides to babytrap Shane Hollander :)

For the Right Reasons by citrusses Rated E, 62,964 words

Coming this fall to ABC… MLH star Shane Hollander is The Bachelor!

Bachelor Nation, we have one question: will you accept this rose?

Russia's Greatest Love Machine by OrYouCouldHaveMine Rated E, 21,214 words

“Holy shit, dude,” Hayden whispers, too loudly, as he pulls Shane away. “No way you were just talking to Ilya Rozanov.”

“Uh, yeah. We just met. Wait, did he lie to me?” Shane asks, looking back over his shoulder where Ilya is now standing next to a short but very muscular woman with long black hair. “What does he play?”

Hayden stops, so Shane does too.

“You don’t know who that was?” 

Shane makes a face that says ‘no shit’, and waits for an answer. 

“Dude. You are so innocent. Ilya Rozanov, ‘Russia’s Greatest Love Machine’?” Hayden says, like it’s obvious. 

Shane looks at him blankly, and then Hayden laughs. Not like, a chuckle. He full on cackles, bending over like he can’t even contain it. “Man, he’s like prolific.”

“At what?” Shane snaps, because he’s getting really sick of not being in on the joke. 

“He’s a porn star, man.” 

“A-” Shane says, swallowing thickly. “What?”

Ilya is a porn star, Shane is a hockey player, and their paths cross.

[lexicanons]

Omegaverse AU where Alpha Ilya becomes emperor after his older brother suddenly dies (*cough* Ilya poisoned him *cough*). He focuses on getting the territory back that his dumbass brother loss and getting the empire back on track. Years pass and the court is worried about his lack of heirs. He’s close to the age of his brother when he died and they’re worried he’ll drop dead without issue. He has Svetlana, his Grand Vizier and Best Friend, build his harem. Ilya doesn’t care about the harem or who she picks. He just needs someone fertile to have a child to quiet the court.

Omega Shane joins the harem out of spite. Even though Emperor Ilya changed the laws so omegas can inherit, his traditionalist parents chose his dumbass, shady Alpha cousin as the heir to the duchy instead of him. His parents started giving duties to the cousin, and Shane already knows it’s going to go badly and he wants to get the hell out of dodge. He also wants to be in a position where his parents can’t force him to go back and clean up their mess, so he decided to go to the harem selection. If chosen, his parents won’t be able to touch him and he can watch their downfall from the luxurious palace.

Svetlana takes one look at Shane and picks him immediately, not bothering to put his through all the tests. Svetlana orders Shane to be cleaned and dressed up. She brings him to Ilya and has Shane introduce himself. Ilya is about to tell Svetlana off for interrupting his work but his eyes lock on Shane, and suddenly he doesn’t care about the paper in his hand or all of the work he has to do. He just wants to be with Shane. Shane tells Ilya about his parents and at the very first fuck up, he strips them of their titles and gives them to Shane. He tells Shane their eldest will inherit the empire and their second born will inherit Shane’s titles.

A decade after entering the palace, the healers are side eyeing Ilya because Shane is pregnant AGAIN! It’s not really Ilya’s fault. How can he deny his omega when Shane begs so prettily to be bred? After Shane gives birth to their 7th child, Svetlana gently suggests adding an omega to the harem to give Shane a break. They both give Svetlana a murderous glare, and she backs off the idea. Ilya says he’ll be more careful (he is not) and Shane says they’ll start taking the herbs to control their fertility (they often forget). Eventually Svetlana starts paying servants to slip the herbs in their food because the amount children gets ridiculous.

[lexicanons]

You know that meme that’s like “A job will have you, a 21 year old, with a 55 year old bestie” Well, AU where Ilya gets hired at the Treasury Board and quickly becomes besties with David Hollander. They’re really good at their jobs so they finish most of their work by 10:30 am and spend the rest of the day fucking around and pretending to be busy together. They get lunch together and talk shit about their boss. David tells Ilya that he’s throwing a birthday party and asks Ilya to come. “You can meet my son and talk hockey! I think you’ll like him!” Ilya decides to go and the party is in full swing when he arrives. David takes him around, introducing him to people until they make it to David’s son. David introduces him to Shane and Ilya is taken by how beautiful Shane is. He’s admiring Shane’s freckles when it dawns on him that he’s staring at THE Shane Hollander, best hockey player in the league. David told him that his son plays hockey but he never put it together that David’s Shane was THE Shane. Ilya and Shane end up in the far corner of the living room, talking all night as the party goes on around them. Years later at their wedding, during his speech, David admits to throwing the birthday party to hook Ilya and Shane up.

[troy-barrett-love]

Troy Barrett is a cat, evidence:

- When he first arrives to the Centaurs he is very wary of everyone and it takes a bit before he starts letting them close

- He finds one person he feels safe with early on (Harris) and sticks to him at every opportunity

- He brings his person little gifts (seasonal flavoured coffee and cake pops)

- Likes hiding away, especially when uncomfortable (mostly in Harris' office)

- Likes salmon

- Easily spooked

- He is well groomed (see: his canonical skin care routine)

- Will fight you if needed

- I can't prove it but he definitely hisses at Ilya when he annoys him and Ilya definitely hisses back

[mxplecxkess]

He is specifically a soaking wet black cat, and Harris is the over affectionate golden retriever that knows no personal space and gives the cat kisses

An incomplete list of my top fave Heated Rivalry fics.

I would say that I consider all of them to be worth reading if you have the time!

These should all have happy endings(even if some of them may take a while to get there :D). (Most of these fics also mostly don't recycle canon events(so they shouldn't give the impression that you're just re-reading the books again :D)) (They are also mostly on the longer side.)

Or, five times Shane Hollander exposes that he's a little freaky in the Ottawa WAGs chat, and the one time it's not him.

OttaWAPs by annanotherthing Rated M, 26,497 words

In which it is Shane's turn to be a menace (in the group chat only), there is a lot of sex talk, and Harris wishes that he did not know some things on a professional level. Ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is one hell of a lot funnier.

[deliciousblizzardshark]

Shane writes hockey romance* novels in his spare time and publishes them under a pseudonym (John Dutch) and no one knows except his agent.

A wag somewhere picks one up and discovers the hockey is really accurate and well written from a technical perspective (plus it’s super hot) and convinces her boyfriend or husband or whatever to read it and then somehow it becomes popular among hockey players as a thing that’s kind of a gag but people are also seriously reading it.

Ilya is extremely confused that CLIFF is trying to convince him to read a book but figures he’ll give it a try. Fifty pages in, reading the book on the plane, he suddenly realizes he recognizes the sex scene.

He never says anything to Shane, but starts casually leaving Shane’s books lying around for Shane to notice during their hook-ups.

*i was going to go with ‘gay hockey romance novels’ but then realized cishet hockey romance novels would be objectively funnier

[hollanovarchive]

Hello,

I remember a fic in which Ilya gets the custody of a baby or a toddler? He tells Shane about it and that he doesn't know what to do and Shane orders lots of stuff. He comes to Boston and together they make the apartment childfriendly before the child appears.

I think later Shane and the child are catched by the paparazzi.

Also maybe they called Yuna as the child was sick?

Do you know this fic?

Okay I tried to find fics where Ilya is given custody of a child, whether it's from a hook up or from his brother, so I hope it's one of these. If not, maybe this fic sounds familiar to a follower!

I’d Share A Life (And Your Share A Life)

Ilya is left with sudden custody of Alexei's daughter and calls Shane to help

cause it's on again, off again (love you like oxygen) 

After the tuna melt situation, Ilya suddenly disappears from hockey for six weeks, claiming some sort of family emergency. Shane showed up to the All-Star game ready to try and fix things, only to be shocked to find a little girl at Ilya's side with remarkably familiar blue eyes

Personne Sait Comment On Fait Des Papas 

“You are the only living family member of their daughter. Your brother named you as her legal guardian, Ilya Grigorievich.”

Kolya 

Ilya and Shane left the cottage with a plan. Two days into training camp, a phone call from Moscow makes it clear the plan no longer applies. Ilya Rozanov has a son he didn’t know existed. If he wants him, it may cost him everything

night changes 

Ilya and Shane have always played the long game. Stay quiet. Stay careful. Stay together, just not publicly. Not yet. In ten years, they’ll have everything they want. Then Ilya gets a call from Russia. Within days, their carefully planned future is replaced with something much more immediate: grief, guardianship, and a four-year-old girl who needs them now. Suddenly, “later” isn’t an option anymore. everything you’ve ever dreamed of disappearing when you wake up

who will love a little sparrow

 another "what if Ilya gained custody of his niece" fic 

Does this fic sound familiar to anyone else? Please let me know x

[alrightygoodnighty]

social media/found text faves

I hope this email finds you before i do (series) I have never been so happy to not work in corporate. Perfect Shane Hollander characterization, love all the side characters and their hijinks, an All Around Good Time

i've been pushing for this for so long (work, 4/4 complete) the breadth of media types really clinched this one for me. Post TLG explores how the world and the nhl are changed (read the first fic in the series! Makes it that much better!)

snapping birch (work, wip, ongoing) do you want to feel angry about how people's privacy is invaded online? do you want to feel complicated about how social media twists our view of people? do you want to see exactly how Ilya Roznov would tweet? how about some impeccable Cliff Marleau? boy do i have the fic for u

the secret society of stick handlers (series) obviously. also the side fic rozanov's roster (work, WIP)-- this concept is not my usual cup o' tea but this one is fantastic i've been enjoying it a lot

Hit Post (series) this series is standout to me because of the variety and wildness of the scandals. I was reading it going oh my god, they would do this over and over again. Creative, occasionally devastating, fun to read.

to catch a homophobe or two or twenty (work, oneshot) mic'ed up Shane Hollander says fuck the metros voyageurs. need i say more

You’re good at what you do.” Shane smiles, then. “I’m glad you think so.” “Not as good as me, obviously.” Ilya added, and Shane rolled his eyes. “Can’t be too nice to you, can I?” “Guess not.” Or, Shane Hollander has a chronic pain condition and Ilya Rozanov is deaf. This inevitably means that they're going to be compared to one another, and this is only made worse when they're drafted to rival teams The Montreal Metros and The Boston Bears as first and second pick. It was rare enough that mainstream sports received one disabled player but two? Drafted during the same season and always one-upping each other? Well, it was unheard of.

(This one is technically too short for this list but you've GOTTA read it, absolutely incredible)

Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are the two best hockey players in the league. On the ice, they’re fierce rivals. Off the ice, they share a bed, share secrets, share their hearts. But in a world where soulmates exist, where at a young age you form a mental connection with the one who was made for you, what happens when the lines between what’s in your head and what’s in front of you begin to blur? When Ilya is desperate for the man that he talks to every day who is both blunt and shy? When Shane is searching for the man whose voice matches the low, accented one in his head? What happens when you fall in love with the same man twice, and you don’t even realize it? AKA the Hollanov “you share a telepathic connection with your soulmate” AU of my dreams

That probably would’ve caught him less off guard than what Shane actually said. “Y’know, text about the hockey gossip? You call, I answer? Friends.” Something terrifyingly bright exploded into Ilya’s chest. Something dangerous, that felt like maybe it could keep him warm through the summer in Russia, through the chill that permeated his childhood home no matter how warm it was outside. “And also we like to suck each other’s dicks,” he quipped, trying to deflect. “Fuck off, Rozanov.” --- Drunk and young and stupid, Shane and Ilya choose to be honest - just a little bit. To lean into each other, instead of apart. What happens if they choose to be a little bit brave on a Vegas rooftop in 2010, and keep choosing it?   NAME CHANGE!! Previously: Maybes and Should Haves

He lowered his voice, teasing him. "Because I read some interesting things on Twitter." "Shut up." "You are very popular with the girls. Good boy, bass player, good looks, gentleman, probably they think you are a beast in bed." --- Shane Hollander is the goody-two-shoes Canadian bassist of Ice Crawlers. Ilya Rozanov is their loud Russian drummer. As the band reaches unprecedented levels of success and fame in the early 2010's, these two can't stay away from each other - even though the last thing their careers need is a sexual scandal between two of the most popular rock stars of their time. Rockband AU! If you're like me and Hollanov hit you the same way Larry Stylinson did when you were 12, good luck and have fun.

He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong. It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it.

Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's. Right???

shane’s first night as a swanky hotel bellboy is going great. until his long-time celebrity crush checks into penthouse one at 2 am and decides to tip you in ways not covered in employee training.

slow motion, love potion by umbradel (delsicle) / @delsicle (6811)

Ilya ran his finger over the fat stack of cash in his hand, making quick calculations. 

“You gave me enough for two hours,” he finally said. “We can do everything. Okay?”

“Everything,” Hollander smiled. “Yeah, that sounds fun, okay.”

—

Ilya and Shane meet in Sochi, under different circumstances.

I Only Threw This Party for You by OrYouCouldHaveMine (7022)

Ilya throws a masquerade party so he can fuck Shane without having to face anything else.

like the bodies of saints by yourinsomnia / @yourinsomnea(11756)

an AU in which Shane and Ilya are roommates, Ilya has an OnlyFans, Shane works at the boxing gym, and everyone around them thinks they’re already married.

Floating (Like a Feather on the Sea) by Fandoms_are_my_lifestyle / @fandoms-are-my-lifestyle (14070)

Ilya Rozanov is an Olympic figure skater. Shane Hollander is a professional hockey player. Somehow, they still figure it out.

where the yellow grass grows knee-high by alspancakes (14169)

“So,” Shane started out, pushing half a strawberry around his place, leaving a pink slimy trail in its wake. His eyes were down when he spoke, as usual, but they flicked up to find Ilya’s after a moment. “Um. I know it’s early, but I have a birthday gift for you. Well,” Shane bit his lip. “It’s not, like, a gift, I guess. Not physical.” 

Ilya’s eyebrows raised, and he painted on a curious smile, pointing at his chest. 

“For me? A gift?”

 *

or, ilya's first vacation with the hollanders. shane has a few surprises for him.

The Montreal Girl (Lily & Jane) (series) by some1_around (20954)

Five times Ilya lied (but not really) to his teammates about Shane, and one time he didn’t have to.

Inspired by two Cliff Marlow lines: In the airport, when their game with Montreal gets cancelled and he tells Ilya, “Whoever she is, she’s gonna get over it,” and the scene in the locker room when he says, “Wow, this Montreal girl works you up, brother—you’re straight up blushing, Roz.”

Or, the Boston Bears’ perspective of Ilya and Shane’s “secret” relationship over the years

A Day in the Life of a Centaur (series) by WriteSmart (22065)

To be clear, Ilya is grateful the rookies aren’t growing up the way he did in the NHL. Ilya took the hazing to the chin – humiliation rituals, beat downs, grueling practices to prove he could “hang” with the big guns on the team.

That being said, there’s still some part of Ilya that balks at the request by the gaggle of rookies to watch The Iron Giant, a veritable children’s movie at the team’s latest movie night.

OR: Five times Shane and Ilya were the support system for the Centaur rookies they dreamed of having when they were younger.

Protected Person by chinesebakery / @chinesebakery (27485)

Shane finds out on Twitter.

Not from a lawyer or a teammate or even one of the journalists who've been calling nonstop since the FanMail video went viral. He finds out at 6:47 am, still in bed, that Russia is coming for Ilya. Propaganda charges. Passport revocation. Return to the Russian Federation required.

What follows is weeks of watching everything fall apart. Ilya's career. Their safety. The system that was supposed to protect them. Shane keeps playing while Ilya can't. The lawyers file paperwork and say to wait. Montreal demands silence.

Shane faces a choice: keep his head down and trust the process, or burn down his career and force the world to pay attention.

He chooses fire.

Permanent Reminder by shanehollandertwentyfour / @shanehollandertwentyfour (35773)

Shane's whole team is getting Stanley Cup tattoos. Ilya's a tattoo artist. Bon appetit.

Apogee by OpalApparition / @opal-apparition (50289)

Shane Hollander is the youngest Commander in ISS history; straight-backed, closeted, and so tightly on his own leash that seven months in orbit with Ilya Rozanov have not produced a single crack in his composure.

Ilya Rozanov is the Russian cosmonaut who should have had his job, won’t stop bouncing a tennis ball off the walls, and is still looking for a fissure. Thankfully, a solar storm finds it for him.

or: Near-death, zero gravity, and the wrong man’s hands in exactly the right places.

A Cosmonaut!Ilya x Astronaut!Shane AU 🚀

re:hi by fleezerweezer / @ilyaois(60165)

At eleven years old Ilya Rozanov's class is given an assignment:

They will be randomly paired with a student at another school in Canada via email. In order to get full credit on the assignment, they must send at least five emails back and forth and gather enough information to write their project.

After seven years, Ilya is pretty sure he's done enough for 100%

or

Shane and Ilya sending emails throughout the years. What happens when they meet?

Gatorade Galas & Moscow Mules by toraten (85533)

Shane Hollander is worried about everyone and everything.

Ilya is mostly just sick of air travel.

Or: Shane and Ilya are having trouble balancing their very private relationship and their very public lives.

A slice of life.
