that tender look of love and loyalty

good morning my ilya thought of the day is that he is an eat while cooking type of guy to the point where it annoys shane a little bit. ilya can't be in charge of prepping the salad because as soon as there is a piece of bite size vegetable in front of him he is eating it. cherry tomatoes? gone. pieces of cucumber? gone. lettuce? he's munching on it like a rabbit. he even downs freshly cut raw onion which makes shane look at him like he's a freak.

three times shane looked at wet!ilya, and one time he touched ♡ +one more time he touched:

we talk about Shane's lingerie (jockstrap, white socks, backwards ballcap) but what about Ilya's lingerie. The white ribbed tank top. The house slippers. The CK briefs. The adidas track suit. I know in my heart Ilya owns a track suit and he wears it like a negligee #hislingerie

We all know that Shane has to defend Ilya to basically everyone else he cares about and also to the media. He hates when people talk shit about his baby. Most people think "how the hell did Rozanov pull the golden boy of Canada?". They don't see his worth. They don't understand him. This is all made exponentially worse because of Ilya's self-worth issues.

This is why it would be so juicy if Cliff thought the inverse about Shane. Like "How the fuck did Shane Hollander pull the most powerful dick in Boston? The charismatic and sexy blond bombshell of the East, Ilya Rozanov?" And he is shocked to find out he's the only one to think about it this way. Because that's his guy. His best friend and his inspiration. He is going to WAR for his schnookums.

And finally Shane will get to bond with someone over that side of the Hollanov dynamic.

HUDCON WEEK 2026 Day 6 — May 16: Actor versus character ↪ CONNOR STORRIE: woodstock in human form SHANE HOLLANDER: snoopy in human form ILYA ROZANOV & HUDSON WILLIAMS: beautiful menaces to society 

[hutsonwoolyums]

Let’s talk about Ilya learning to let Shane take care of him. How at the cottage it was Fine because Ilya was a guest, so of course Shane offered him things. Of course he made him coffee and cooked for him and tucked a blanket around him. But then they’re living together and Shane just keeps doing it. Like, he goes to make himself a smoothie and makes one for Ilya too. Or he plugs Ilya’s phone in when he notices the battery is getting low. And then one day they get home from practice and Shane grabs both their bags out of the car. Ilya reaches for his, says, “I got it,” but Shane just says, “You’re sore, Ilya.” Which, ok, Shane is sore too. So Ilya grabs the strap from the other end and tries to pull it back, like, “Yeah, but I can carry my bag,” and Shane just goes, “No, really, let me.”

And, ok, Ilya’s a little frustrated now.

“I can do it, Shane.”

“Why are you making this difficult? Just let me carry your bag.”

“I'm making this difficult? I can carry my own fucking bag.”

And they’re just standing there playing tug of war a little with this stupid hockey bag, until Shane’s expression softens.

“I like doing things for you. I like...taking care of you,” Shane says quietly, all big soft eyes looking back at Ilya, and Ilya deflates like a balloon.

SHANEWEEK | DAY 4: FAVORITE TRAIT

➳ BRAVERY

[samwwise]

oh my god, i love you so much...

[penandinkprincess]

i do love and respect the idea of the world at large being stunned at finding out how long ilya and shane have been together, but i truly think that under NO circumstances would shane ever choose to offer ANY personal details about himself or their relationship willingly.

which combined with ilya loving just making things up and saying them (as seen in the "yes, the rumors are true-" scene) offers the very funny idea that ilya actively tries to offer as much privacy as possible by just throwing out stories about them at random so there IS no central story for people to hound shane about.

assorted backstories a la "ilya just started talking and found out with everyone else where he was going with this":

they got snowed in at all stars one year (b-but wasn't that year in florida?) and decided there was nothing better to do

it started as a bit and neither is willing to give up first

they paired off to combine forces like nato

they paired off to limit how many kids they could have in the future to make sure hockey stayed fair

ilya lost a bet six years ago

shane lost a bet three years ago

ilya got tired of remembering phone numbers for his hookups and shane's is easy

ilya got tired of having to look things up in english and french when talking to other people and decide to marry someone who speaks two languages to save time

shane is gifted enough (wink wink wink) that other people are cowards and only ilya was brave enough to rise to the challenge (this one gets him in trouble on the phone later but it also gets him laid that night at home and also confuses the online speculation about who tops and bottoms, so net positive tbh)

yuna hollander is the best manager in the business and a political marriage was the best way to secure her services longterm

with the end result that all shane has to do is shrug and "my husband has already told our story a thousand times by this point. no point in repeating it and boring people." in interviews to get out of people trying to dig into things he doesn't want to tell them.

I've read so many fics where our boys are doing laundry every single time they fuck and I get it, I too am not a bodily fluid enjoyer

however!

may I introduce the concept of the sex blanket? it's big and soft but not too slidey. it's lightweight enough to be easily bundled into the washer or a picnic basket ('oh my god, ilya, not in the park') but heavy enough to absorb their sweat and come without getting it on what's underneath. it's just the right texture for shane to have on his back or his knees or his ass or rubbing against his face. it's machine washable and dries quickly without getting too wrinkled. it's a kind of ugly nondescript colour that doesn't seem to stain. it's a practical (because shane) and endearing (to ilya) solution

with me so far? okay.

now please imagine the sex blanket as mating call. Ilya comes home from the grocery store and shane is sitting reading on the sofa, glasses on, not looking at ilya - but he's laid out the sex blanket across the couch and ilya immediately drops the groceries on the floor. shane gets out of the shower after his morning run expecting ilya to be up with anya or making them breakfast - but he's on the sex blanket on the bed, smirking, and shane gets hard so fast he's weak from it. one time ilya lays the sex blanket out on the patio while they're making dinner and shane can't stop shooting glances at it through the patio doors, getting flustered even though they're cooking something complicated with a lot of steps that he really needs to focus on. Ilya pretends innocence and won't touch him until they're outside after dinner...on the sex blanket.

all I'm saying is I think our boys are pavloving themselves into getting hard at the sight or feel of a particular blanket and I'm so proud of them yay
