my headcanon is that obviously shane does not listen to any music but then one day he hears slut pop by kim petras and that’s fucking ALL this man can listen to and ilya is DELIGHTED by this absolutely in love, he starts playing it in the locker room before games and shane can’t even stay mad because it’s the only fucking thing that gets him pumped
this still is so hot to me like so hot. shane’s very first time in life feeling gut wrenching throat grabbing desire!!!!!!! this Mannnnnn he’s such a Man with muscles and cock and huge chest and shane wants this Man!!!!! virgin shane!!!!!!!!!!!!
laughing about the idea of shane who has no real firsthand experience with curls (beyond messing them tf up while fucking ilya) trying to make ilya presentable after sneaking off with him to smooch but who just ??? seems to be making it worse?? oh fuck??
like his memories of hair fixing someone else are his mom finger combing his hair? but that appears?? to be making this worse?? oh god??? wait no?? stop getting frizzier!! be neater!! everyone return to your assigned curl!!
and ilya who COULD be helping is just. letting this happen. no help at all. shane increasingly is just making it worse and more obvious what they've been up to and ilya is just enjoying being pet and watching shane get flustered.
i love every version of shane going to bood's bbq in fics, and it's always so funny when they try to go "just as friends" and cannot keep up the act for the whole night. it's always good and fun and makes sense in the fic, and i always enjoy it, but it's also just funny to see when their whole deal was that they've managed to not tell anyone for a whole decade except for very select circumstances.
it makes me want a 5+1 story with 5 times shane went to a centaurs event as a "friend" of ilya's and the +1 as either him attending as ilya's partner or as a centaur himself.
the first time would be at the end of summer, right after the end of the ottawa summer camp. wyatt asks shane how long he's going to be in town for before he heads back to montreal, and he says it'll be a few more days, and hayes says bood is hosting a pre-season bbq and shane should totally swing by. he's hesitant, but the fact that it's wyatt who invites him and confirms with bood that it's cool vs him clearly tagging along with ilya that makes him risk it.
the boxing day party would probably fall as time 3 or 4? i haven't decided what the others are yet.
but through these 5 parties, shane slowly gets to know the cens and their partners, sees how different the culture is from montreal, gets to know these people ilya talks about for himself, and slowly lets his guard down.
for their part, the centaurs get to know shane as a person better and not just The Shane Hollander™️and they also can't help but notice that their captain, who's always so busy on their days off, is conveniently always available if hollander is also around.
by time 5, most people have figured out that something is going on between them. everyone has pet theories about if it's serious or exclusive or new, but they're trying to tip-toe around it and not let shane or ilya know that they suspect something. it doesn't help that ilya brings anya, and she seems very familiar with shane.
it all comes to a head when wyatt, tipsier than he usually gets at these events, notices that shane is also wearing a chain tucked under his shirt. he puts a hand on shane's shoulder and says "can you just entertain me for a second here?" before hooking a finger under the chain and pulling the rest of the chain and the ring out from where it was tucked away. he looks at the ring close up for a moment before nodding, and saying "that's what i thought." he drops the ring, letting it falls back to shane's chest before saying "thanks buddy," patting him on the shoulder, and moving on like nothing happened. shane is...befuddled, but just shakes his head at his friend and also moves on. he's a little bit panicking, but he's mostly just confused. importantly, he doesn't bother to tuck the ring back into his shirt. a little bit after that, ilya and troy and maybe bood drift over to where shane is, and troy clocks the ring on the chain and says "hey, that ring looks familiar?" and bood agrees, turning to ilya and pulling the exact same move that wyatt did, bringing the chain out of ilya's shirt, showing both the cross and the ring beside it. everyone just stares at the clearly matching rings for a moment before troy says "if you try to claim you got matching friendship rings i'm going to punch you." ilya grins, mock offended, and says "i would never." by this point harris has clocked that something is going on and comes over, taking in the matching rings on display. "holy shit, is this already married or to be--?" he asks. "to be, not yet," ilya confirms. "probably this summer, maybe july," shane says, and it's the first thing he's said in several minutes. after that, for the rest of the night they mostly drop the act. no kissing or outright pda, but they don't really leave each other's sides, and they start bickering half in russian, and they openly refer to anya as theirs (shane refers to her as "our dog" while ilya calls her "our daughter"), and when they leave they don't have to pretend like they aren't leaving together, and they haven't put their rings away again for the rest of the night.
shane sitting on ilya's face. shane's thick thighs working as he grinds himself down on ilya's tongue. shane just loud as fuuuuck moaning and swearing as he chases his orgasm. ilya moaning into shane's ass as shane takes what he needs from him. ilya flipping them over and coming on shane's ass after.
this is a fandom-wide club that anyone 18+ can join! despite its name, this club does not actually have much to do with heated rivalry at all other than specifically being for the heated rivalry fandom. a lot of us have been wanting to get back into reading & watching movies so what better way to get out of our slumps than to do it together?
this is both discord & dashboard inclusive. not everyone enjoys discord and not everyone enjoys chatting on the dash, so regardless of which medium you prefer, you'll be able to participate!

club name credit to @freakeduploser 💚
insp & encouraged by @averagesquire & @wyatthazy 💙
here's the general format for how this will work:
❤️ each month, everyone participating will pledge to read 1 (or more) book(s), and/or watch 1 (or more) movie(s). you'll make a post on the dash (and/or post in the discord) to share your monthly plan with others! all club posts can be tagged with #heatedlibrary or mention @heatedlibraryclub
🧡 due to not everyone having access to the same libraries, stores, and streaming services, we will all choose our books and movies individually. however, if you'd like to read/watch the same things with a friend/friends go right ahead! there are specific channels in the discord for planning group activities, reading together, watching films together, or just chatting!
💚 on the first of each month i'll post 3 optional prompts. choose the prompt(s) that speaks to you the most and apply it to your book/movie search! these prompts are not mandatory to follow, just an added scavenger hunt element. ultimately, you can pick whatever book/movie you want! the prompts are mainly for people who struggle to choose what to read/watch and prefer some guidance. there is a channel in the discord specifically for recommending & suggesting books/films that fit the prompts if you're having trouble finding some!
💙 you do not have to complete all 3 prompts, nor should you feel pressure to finish all the books/films you planned to get to. the goal of this club is for everyone to just get back into reading/watching movies. the quantity doesn't matter, and neither does the length!
💜 throughout the month, we can all post (on the dash and/or in discord) reading updates, thoughts, discussions, etc. you can plan to read alongside others at certain times, ask people if they'd like to read/watch the same things as you, or anything else you may think of!
🩷 at the end of every month, we will all post (on the dash and/or discord) a monthly wrap-up of what we read/watched. in these wrap-ups you can write reviews, share your favorite quotes, talk about what you did or didn't like, recommend or not recommend, etc. whatever you wanna talk about! and if you have nothing to say and just wanna share what you read/watched, that's cool too!
heated library club officially begins on august 1st!
ultimately, this is a very low pressure/low stakes club that you really can do whatever you want in! following along with the prompts or doing group activities is not mandatory; if you've just been looking for an excuse to get out of your slump, that's what it's all about! there's no expectation to engage/interact in the discord (or even join the discord at all if you don't want to) and at the end of the day your goals are entirely your own. let's have fun! 🌈
