"Put it this way; have you wanted to marry all your best friends?" Svetlana fires back. Parson pauses long enough that she wonders if she's missing something, some tragic love affair that everyone else knows about, maybe a fling with a pop star or a model, before he clears his throat. "I've never had a best friend who's a woman, so —" Svetlana scoffs and throws him the keys, pointing at the iridescent green convertible in the corner before leaving. Typical.

the omgcp/hr crossover that absolutely everyone has been waiting for.

living in the world where ilya and svetlana go on a zaney abortion road trip across the usa. and yes obviously she is pregnant by ilya. they discussed ilya throwing her down the stairs and also the effects of party drugs vis a vis abortion success before packing up his jag (with 21 miles of gas in it) and heading down the highway

[hunybody]

it is CRUCIAL to me that svetlana is also an idiot. like they’re both incredibly smart and have stunning people skills and have drive and talent and shine like precious rare beetles to me obviously. but ilya is stupid as bricks and, as his lifelong best friend, i MUST conclude that svetlana is stupid in an identical way. All this to say i think they’re trying insane abortion home remedies they get from etsy witches ilya finds online when it’s svetlana’s turn to drive. and also from maureen the diner waitress who swears her aunt drank from a specific well and had a barren womb for the rest of her life.

[hunybody]

they reminisce fondly about their route 66 abortion roadtrip in front of shane years later and he gets so jealous he has to leave to pace in the yard. it should have been HIM that got teenage pregnant and had to abort for his career while ilya supportively held his hand down a scenic highway at sunset! fuck!

Thinking about Kent Parson and Ilya Rozanov clubbing in Vegas together...

[poetrylesbian]

heated rivalry is set in a wild fantasy world where male professional athletes deserve to live

[lizardsfromspace]

Hi, I noticed your story has conflict in it, and I was wondering why you didn't just write people who are right doing everything correctly with a note saying "I enthusiastically co-sign everything in this story"? Must be some kind of mistake haha

[scunthotter]

So as much as Ilya likes being domesticated, I cannot believe that man has given up clubbing. He's been a little clubrat since he was able to get in the door of Moscow clubs at way too young of age.

Ottawa has a fuckass nightlife but whenever they're in a city with good clubs Ilya goes out and drinks and dances and at the end of the night (the agreed upon negotiated time) Shane shows up and Ilya "picks him up" then they go back to the hotel for nasty hook up sex.

For Ilya this feels like having his cake and eating it too. He gets to be his sleazy clubrat self, then he gets to take home the hottest man in the club and have nasty sex with him, then he gets to end the night snuggled up in his husband's arms.

[bluegrasshole]

it’s so funny that shane is a landlord, can you imagine if your landlord was sidney crosby and you had to text him like ‘hi sidney crosby, my oven isn’t working right :/’ and sidney crosby would have to be like ‘ok well i’m at the olympics so i’ll send someone to check it out, no problem’

[miscelium]

walk with me. of course hollanov being teenage sweethearts is so buzzy (your future husband was standing next to you at the draft, your future husband's first time experiencing sexual desire was with you / your future husband was the first person you experienced sexual desire for) but i know very few people irl who are still with the person they fell in love with as a teenager or young adult (it happens! people change!)

maybe the distance or ilya's career-limiting move to ottawa and depression and shane's eating disorder and getting outed and whatever other whump you can toss in there become insurmountable. and then they're not only the first players to be gay married but also the first to be gay divorced. a confirmation of ilya's worst fears that he's too much, that everyone leaves. another tally in shane's long list of perceived failures.

OR maybe they feel like they can't get openly divorced (because of the foundation? the public scrutiny? yuna "well you can't split right before pride month, you're already scheduled for all these brand deals and public appearances"? the pressure to be Good Gay Representation?) so maybe they're just quietly separated, and it's killing them, but it's not working and/or they both think that this is what the other wants.

OR they break up and reconnect years later (after retiring?), realizing they've changed in the right ways to fit together again and learned more about themselves and what they want. maybe they're with other people by then. maybe they have an affair. maybe it's too late.

sooo many possibilities come play in this sandbox with me...

[obligatorygeekery]

paused for a long time (1.3k m)

Jack hadn't let himself think much about the games — refused to let his parents even watch in 2010; the ones Bob had been supposed to commentate for, and Kent hadn't been supposed to get near; until a string of injuries left USA Hockey turning to their newest phenom and Jack shutting himself in his room — and then it hadn't mattered anymore. Another dream he'd missed out on. Until now.

using sociopolitical events to put these two in a jar again.

Ilya was in Boston learning a form of English that would be of no use to him anywhere outside the state lines
