My Secret Heated Rivalry Side Blog

Basically posting fic recs and the occasional meme set 🏒🥅 follows from @paulaboardman

[mysecretheatedrivalrysideblog]

WELCOME LOONS!!

If you've just found me from a post on Threads, Welcome!!

This is my HR sideblog, where I basically post AO3 fics I've read and enjoyed, and any gifsets I come across when I'm actually here on Tumblr.

We're all friends here, ok? So don't be a stranger 🥰

EDIT (28/5)

I have a spreadsheet where I keep track of all the HR fic (and other fandoms) that I read. I have a shocking memory, so this helps me make sure I'm not re-reading the same fic over and over and over again (unless I actually want to). I shared this on Threads ages ago but forgot to include it here!

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov Characters: Ilya Rozanov, Shane Hollander Additional Tags: Ilya Rozanov Loves Shane Hollander, Shane Hollander Loves Ilya Rozanov, Married Couple, Established Relationship, Language Barrier, Protective Shane Hollander, Married Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov, Ilya Rozanov Needs A Hug, Not Beta Read, Accent Insecurity, It's twitter not X, Hurt/Comfort, Light Angst, Shane Hollander Loves Ilya Rozanov's Accent, Domestic, Tenderness, Reassurance, Insecurity, Soft Shane Hollander, Soft Ilya Rozanov Summary:

Ilya is tired of being called stupid. Tired of reporters blinking at him like he’s buffering. Tired of social media deciding that an accent equals ignorance. So he decides to fix it.

Shane lets it be a joke — until he hears Ilya sanding down the edges of himself under bright arena lights. He doesn’t interrupt interviews. Until he does.

Ilya was going to murder him.

He should have just corrected Scott. Should have said, "No, that's my best friend, we grew up together." Simple. But instead he'd agreed to bring his nonexistent boyfriend on the trip like an idiot.

How was he going to talk Ilya into this?

-or-

The one where Shane accidentally lets his coworkers assume Ilya is his boyfriend and instead of telling them the truth, he convinces Ilya to play along for the weekend.

When Ilya raises his head, he's pouting at him again. Shane can't believe this man is the same surgeon who regularly performs nose jobs and penile enlargements and breast reductions. He literally looks like a moody teenager right now. "It's not a big deal, Hollander! I swear, we just go to one dinner, we talk to her, that's it!"

Shane raises an eyebrow. "'That's it'? Ilya, you were trying to convince me to pretend to be your husband, who is about to divorce you, just so you could save face in front of your latest conquest and explain why she found a ring in your pocket."

OR

Ilya asks Shane to pretend to be his soon-to-be-ex-husband so he can get a girlfriend. Yeah, they fall in love instead.

(Just Go With It (2011), but instead of Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler, it's Shane and Ilya.)

NOW COMPLETE!

“You know,” Rozanov speaks up, walking backward for a second so that he can face Shane, “if we are pretending to be boyfriends, you should probably work on looking less offended every time I speak.”

“You should work on speaking less.”

“Oh, I feel the chemistry already.”

-----

OR: When a college dean’s homophobic comments threaten to cost Northlake University its main sponsors (and therefore its entire hockey program), campus golden boys Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are asked to fake-date for damage control.

Shane thinks the plan is absurd. Ilya thinks it’s hilarious. Unfortunately, both of them care too much about hockey to say no.

Now they just have to survive staged dates, invasive campus gossip, suspicious teammates, and pretending to be disgustingly in love for a few months.

Which would all be a lot easier if they weren’t starting to enjoy it a little too much…

Enter Ilya Rozanov, charming date-for-hire and possibly the hottest man Shane has ever seen. Shane needs him to play the perfect boyfriend for just one weekend.

Trouble is, Ilya may be a little too good at the job.

or: Ilya is worth every cent but won’t accept any money and Shane is about to become the biggest cliché of all time (who falls for the guy they hired to be their boyfriend?).

No matter the trope. No matter the universe. No matter the setup. They find each other.

“What if I am boyfriend?” Ilya asked through a mouthful of noodles.

“Huh?” Shane paused his nibbling on a piece of eggplant. The black bean sauce was outstanding.

“I can be the boyfriend,” Ilya said. “When is the wedding?”  

“February fourteenth.” Shane cringed.

“That is so…. What is word, cliche?” Ilya clarified. Shane confirmed with a nod. “Fine, I will have time off then.”

“I-I can’t ask you to do that,” Shane stammered.

“Is not a big deal, Hollander, you need fake boyfriend and I get a trip to, where was it, Kauai?” Ilya grinned. “It would be nice to take a week off and enjoy the sun.”

Shane thought about it for a moment. Actually, having Ilya there could be fun. And it would definitely get his family and friends off his back about him settling down.

“Only if it’s not too inconvenient,” Shane said, picking at the sauteed pea shoots on his plate.

“It will be fine. I am a great boyfriend,” Ilya said.

Please read parts 1 & 2 first for important context!

Yuna Hollander is running out of patience, and Shane is avoiding his mother. Surely, a dinner party is all they need to explain why it's taken 5 months to organize an annulment... and why there may not be one after all.

“You could date me,” Rozanov says nonchalantly.

Wait. What?

Shane is sure he must’ve misheard. He stares at the other boy in disbelief, his mouth hanging slightly open.

“What?” he asks aloud, because surely Rozanov must’ve hit his head or something.

But the blond man just shrugs casually. “You need hot fake boyfriend. I am available.”

or, the fake dating hollanov fic, in which Shane desperately wants his ex to think that he's no longer hung up on him and his rival Ilya Rozanov is more than happy to help.

"Y'know..." Rozanov’s arm swung around his own head, and his hand played mercilessly with his ear. “We could stop using them.”

Shane frowned. “What?”

Rozanov only offer a shrug.

“But we would both have to stop hooking up with other people. Wouldn't be safe otherwise.”

Or

What if Rozanov decided to use the idea of getting to fuck raw as a way to convince Hollander to be exclusive instead.

Fake dating AU: when Yuna insists on setting Shane up with yet another guy, he says he’s already in a relationship and accidentally drops the name of the most unbearable person on earth. Now they have to spend Christmas together in Ottawa. (According to Shane Hollander, Ilya Rozanov is the most unbearable person on the planet.)

Shane says it before he can stop himself.

“I’m not lonely, mom. I have a boyfriend!”

Unfortunately, Shane does not, in fact, have a boyfriend.

[cottagehillsunset]

Ruby Pike ranting about her date during a Barbeque at the Pikes while Illya and Shane are visiting. "He ate, like, an entire plate of pasta with tuna and then just expected me to kiss him!", she scoffs. "Didn't even use a chewing gum or a mint. Why would I want to kiss him with his tuna breath?"

Shane and Ilya just quickly looking at each other because. Well. Depending on the person the tuna breath really isn't what you're focusing on.

"Who even orders a dish with tuna on a date?", Jade asks shaking her head.

"But tuna is nice", Arthur says. "The tuna melts Uncle Ilya makes are always really good."

Jade rolls her eyes at her brother. Boys.

"Yeah, we like them too, Art. But obviously he wouldn't cook those for a first date", she says. "If someone made me a tuna melt on a date I'd run out of that room so fast. Right, Uncle Shane?"

Ilya chokes on his wine. Shane looks as if someone just punched him in the gut. Jade is happy that her Uncles are appropriately horrified at the thought of a tuna melt as a date meal.

Arthur is still trying to understand what's so bad about a tuna melt.

Shane (to himself): This is great. I'm going to get a good grade in friends with benefits, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,

Or:

When Shane sticks it out at Ilya's house, and the tuna meltdown doesn't happen, he still walks away confused about what Ilya actually WANTS from him. When an opportunity presents itself in the form of Rose Landry and a very thorough PR relationship contract, Shane decides to take advantage of it to show Ilya that he can be a totally chill and normal friend with benefits, and definitely isn't too attached.
