the important thing to remember about corporations is that they are so so stupid

Good. That's what I want too.

If there's one moment from a fanfic that constantly pops into my head it's when Ilya tells Hayden that he's been saving all his best sperm for Shane, that he's only "let the losers out for months"

[russianblush]

no ai usage over here. you’re gonna get my shitty authentic writing whether you like it or not

[feyd-meowtha]

It's a moral imperative that we write more sex scenes which are

Weird

Uncomfortable

Not good for anyone involved

heated rivalry twitter (71/?) game nights in boston are always... eventful

[totearup]

Cliff can't believe he didn't figure it out sooner. The strange move to Ottawa. How happy he's been. And most damming of all, "Jane", it fucking rhymes!

He watches a highlight reel of Ilya celebrating with his line and realizes he's just going to have to accept it.

Ilya was in love with Zane Boodram.

HEATED RIVALRY | 1.05 I'll Believe in Anything

[soldier-of-death]

im only attracted to worthy opponents

[fleabagsversion]

[good-day-stingray]

Hey I wrote a fic!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Heated Rivalry, Shane and Rose friendship, texting fic (mostly), Aromantic rep !

Summary:

Rose: Shane. I need you to tell me something.

Shane: Giraffes are thirty times more likely to get hit by lightning than people.

Rose: …

Rose: Shane wtf that’s not what I meant 😭

Shane: Oh.

Or: Rose doesn't know why 80% of her boyfriends turn out to be gay, and 100% of her romantic relationships die. Shane figures it out.

[assignedilyaoftheday]

your assigned ilya of the day is about to witness queer hockey history thats going to change things for him and Shane

[chaotic-neutral-knitter]

never be good at your job. it's a trap. they'll just give you more and harder stuff to do and it'll pull you away from your true passion of writing gay fanfiction for people on the internet

[piwonplaylist]

thinking about them

[hudconvent]

i really am tickled by the idea of scott hunter being canonically only 3 yrs older than ilya and catching stray after stray for being old. yet also in my mind cliff is fully in his mid 30s when ilya is a rookie and whenever they get drunk together cliff gets emotional and is like “do you think im washed lil bro…..” and ilya is like “NO are you kidding me……you are stud…..just now in your prime…..”

Your heated rivalry WIP rec list is a thing of beauty. I found so many new favourite fics - your taste is amazing (should have known this from your writing alone really). Do you have any other favourites in the fandom because i will follow you off a cliff.

this is so sweet thank you!! i'm really glad you enjoyed the WIP rec list :)) i'll use this as an opportunity to share the love on more fics! again, no particular order and varying vibes hah

Everything is fine by Tamystardust (33k)

after the fight on boxing day, but before the plane incident, shane joins a centaurs bbq. unfortunately, said bbq is a bit overshadowed by some massive metros homophobia. but shane is fine, really, everything is fine.

this home on ice by @corvidcordelia (23k)

i don't know where to start with this one but it's a gorgeous mixed media fic - there's texting, internet research, an 'am i gay' quiz, and so much more. some angst but also a lot of fluff, this is a comfort fic for me

black dog by delagauchetiere (68k)

ilya/shane are neighbors and ilya loooves shane's dog... i don't want to say more bc spoilers but this was gorgeously written and incredibly good

"Tell me everything, Shane Hollander's ex-girlfriend Jessica" by doctor_roc_roger (17k)

in the 2-year period where ilya is #chasingthathole, he runs into jessica and gets some intel to help him #getthathole. this turns into an ilya/jessica friendship that i absolutely adoreeee this was so funny and fun

anybody like you by plonk (50k)

shane reconnects with his figure skating buddy joe at the olympics and ends up... making real friends!! this is such a beautiful shane character study and i fell in love with every character (also features figure skater ilya)

Heaven is a bedroom by @thomasmomwell / Charlotte_Stant (18k)

au where shane is a mormon missionary and ilya wants to smash... fair warning if you have religious trauma but this was SO GOOD and if you're worried pls see tag "better living through enthusiastic gay sex"

A Mean Boy From Boston by @willowmckinley (15k)

yuna walks in on ilya/shane, and ilya is not afraid to be the bad guy. featuring some very firm boundary setting, and both ilya/shane being menaces

World on Your Shoulders by Latigra (15k)

ok so this whole series is amazing, but in this fic specifically shane's new rookie is being blackmailed by a male hookup. the unreliable narrator here is sooo good and this shane characterization (bitchy shane!!!) is one of my absolute favs
