Things that are ACTUALLY in the Shane Hollander Mic'd Up compilation that we all wish we could watch through the portal:
- "Hey, how was your summer? Good, good."
- "Mic'd up. I'm mic'd up. Don't."
- "Have you ever been to Greece? Told Ilya I would ask you."
- "What? No, man, he didn't say that. He said he was gonna get your ass. Yeah, man, he only fucks one ass. Yeah, I mean, I would say fuck you too but--"
- "Heeeey, davai, davai. Great assist. Hah, no, don't come closer, I'm mic'd and you know I don't trust you."
- "The Royal Tiger Towel Paper Towel Power Play. The Royal Tiger Towel Paper Towel Power Play. The Royal--"
- "HEY MATHESON. You ever been to Vegas? I said, you ever been to VEGAS? I hear they let the good hockey players go there in the summer but I feel like you wouldn't know that."
- "FUCK. Hey, ref, what the fuck was that? Oh, you didn't see that? Fuck you. No, you stay there, my husband's gonna talk to you--fuck you, put me in the bin then, this is bullshit--"
- "You have the smelling salts? Yeah. FUCK--"
- "I am mic'd. Remember I am mic'd. Nope, not even in Russian."
- "Oh, yeah, the pickle video was funny. Harris said it got a lot of views, so. Yeah, no, he actually really does love pickles that much."
- "Sinclair, you got something to say? Yeah, I'm better at hide the pickle than you are at hockey. You want to ask another stupid question?"
- "You know, I run a charity too. Oh, I just assumed that you were doing some kind of Make-A-Wish thing out here with your wingers, since it looks like this is your first day on the ice."
- "Oh, hey, look. Jackie and the kids are waving at us. Okay. Okay, Rozanov, that's enough."
- "Mic'd. Mic'd. Mic'd."
- "Hello Hockey Night, welcome to my husband's shoulder pads--" "Fuck OFF, Rozanov."

a little soviet space race propaganda inspired design for @opal-apparition’s gorgeous fic apogee
special mention to Alexei Leonov and the random Canadian & Russian astronauts whose spacesuits i looked at for this i <3 insignias and workwear and yaoi
Closest driver friendships are between those who race in different series or were teammates in junior ranks? Oh yes Oscar we know exactly who you are referring to.
Time me to unleash inhibitions and feel the rain on my skin. Hi heated rivalry fandom this is my contribution!!
Animal Traits AU Shane and Ilya 🫶
Shane: Sika Deer
Sika deer are members of the elk family and native to East Asia. They are similar in size to the North American White-tailed Deer but are more compact with longer and more narrow racks. Their diet typically consists of vegetation and grasses, as well as agricultural crops (bird food). Behaviorally, they are highly cautious and alert, but they can also show displays of intense fighting and territorial disputes.
I like the Sika deer for Shane because it honors his ethnicity and his character. In a masculine overdrive sport like hockey, an animal considered “dainty” like a deer would definitely result in some teasing, especially since he’s a prey animal in a field of predators (thought it’s not unheard of, with plenty of stocky prey players (such as bison) on the ice since the NHL formed. But cervidae, while mostly considered flighty and scared, are fully capable of holding their own.
I love imagining Shane with twitching ears and a tail. A beautiful rack of antlers that he takes a ton of pride in, and a concentration of freckled groups along his back, mimicking the spots on the animal’s pelt.
He’s quick, he’s alert, but he’s NOT a push over.
Ilya: Russian Ovcharka/Caucasian Shepard
From the American Kennel Club, this breed is “bold, fearless, self-confident and fierce when a threat is present, but soft, devoted, kind and endearing to their family, including other family pets.”
Ilya fits this description to a T, including the typical interpretation of canines as being incredible loyal.
More information about this breed in specifics, the Caucasian Shepard was bred to be a Livestock Guard dog, primarily in protecting flocks of sheep against wolves and other humans. However, due to their massive size, they also have the ability to protect against BEARS.
Additionally, under inadequate training, these dogs can become highly aggressive and snappy. This specific fact I want to highlight for Ilya as really reflecting in how he was treated by his family. He was untethered and had only hockey to work toward, leading to his aggressive play style and snarling chirps. He treats the ice as his field and his team as his flock, anything that gets between their success will after to answer to his maws.
I also really like the idea of Ilya having soft floppy ears he loves getting scratched, and tail that makes it harder for him to hide his emotions. He usually has it in a relaxed settle or in postures dominance, but when he’s able to let go, it expresses more than he can put into words.
AND NOW More specifc info below because I tend to ramble :)
Includes;
-Heavy angst (more warnings inside)
-NSFW
When it comes to the sexual dynamic between Shane and Ilya, I love to think about it. Ilya would have canines gnashing and slobber when he gets into it, his tail thumping heavily with every thrust. Shane would make low groans and huffs, ears twitching and tail in a firm grip in Ilya’s fist. Ilya’s favorite thing would be between grabbing Shane’s rack and pounding into him like a feral animal, angling his head in anyway he wishes knowing that Shane lets him, how the Canadian could rest his head back and impale him at any moment if he wanted. His submission was a gift to his howling jaws.
He also loves when he’s able to get Shane’s animal instincts to come out a little more, shoving him in the mattress and fucking him until he lets out deeply buried bleats and bellows.
Shane is less at mercy of his instincts as Ilya is. But he still has moments. Sometimes, after a frustrating game or a chirp that doesn’t sit right, Shane will snort loudly and stomp his foot, next straining to hold back from rearing his rack around in warning.
Sliding into more Angst Territory, this is written a little differently as it’s copy and pasted from my friends DMs (Warning for Body Mutilation!).
After trip gate, the Vouyagers would gang up on Shane in the locker rooms, planning to saw off his antlers as punishment for being a traitor (they had bought the saw as a way to scare Shane knowing he wouldn’t ever say anything and that just pushed them over the edge. Predators wanting to kill their prey). They had only succeeded in completely sawing off one antler before Ilya barges in snarling (realizing it’s taking way too long while waiting at the car and something feeing wrong in his gut, goes to check it out) and literally mauling one of the Voyageurs into hospitalization.
Aside from Ilya’s typical aggression and his fear he has in his head being in a relationship where he’s so fucking protective and co-dependent, in tandem with Shane wanting to prove himself as more than “Bambi” (chirp insult) (deer being seen as fragile and timid and docile), he loses it when he barges into the locker room. Ilya is literally feral. He’s slobbering everywhere blood dripping from his mouth as he tears at the skin of the Voyageur holding the saw. Shane is too out of it, trembling in shock and fear at losing physical a part of himself (even if it eventually grows back). The rest of the team are terrified to come and step in despite also being predators. It was obvious Ilya would not stop until everyone who came between him and Shane were dead. Even if it kills him.
Once Ilya is snared and pulled back enough, he’d be muzzled. It’s a dire situation and that’s what it’s meant for during feral attacks. Because of the aggression, he gets arrested and isn’t able to see Shane in the hospital where he gets taken to make sure the antler cut wasn’t too detrimental (plus he was completely dissociated and nonverbal) and Ilya literally goes fucking insane in those few days before it comes out that it was clearly defense of a mate (equal to that of self defense in this universe) given it JUST came out they’ve involved. He’s still half feral (only because he’s been away from the only thing he loves for for three days after something traumatic happened to him and they won’t let him *visit*) so the league decided to keep him muzzled.
Shane is still he completely out of it because they took his fucking antler and his mate and he feels so gutted open he doesn’t know how to survive. When Ilya finally is released and they get to see each other again Ilya is growling non stop and slobbering everywhere and he’s so fucking angry and devestated because his love looks so empty at what just happened to him and he wasn’t *there* he failed as a guard dog. and they *wont take off this stupid muzzle so he can bury his nose into Shane’s scent glands and rub his scent into him or whisper against his lips or ANYTHING*
The league ends up only punishing the Vouyaguer Ilya attacked (the one doing the sawing) and the ones who were physically holding Shane down (the rest couldn’t be proven as doing anything wrong despite watching in argument of intimidation) (Pike and JJ would’ve probably been locked out… or held back) ANYWAYS. the league also punishes Ilya for his extreme expression and he’s forced to play with a muzzle until doing mandatory instinct classes and anger management bcuz Crowell sucks.
AND THATS ALL I HAVE SO FAR FOR THAT. I may expand on this more bcuz I love it lots but o wanted to share my little brain child :) Thank you all for reading!!!
