“i’m leaving” ilya says as he gets up and bood asks “already?” and ilya’s like “yes, shane asked me to leave early” and troy says “you know no one here believe that right?” and ilya goes “but is true, he asked me” and bood’s like “man, we all know you’re the clingy one, just say you want to go home to your husband no one will judge you” and ilya goes again “im telling the truth, shane asked me” and troy says “we all know shane, man, you asked to come and he probably just said “okay” with that little smile he does” and ilya again “i’m telling the truth why no one believes me?”. then cuts to an oblivious shane dancing with anya in the kitchen.

We really do just get to have and enjoy Shane and Ilya. Every day I wake up and refuse to take this for granted. Shane and Ilya.

i love awkward ilya like i love that u take away his performance and confront him with something he actually cares about and he goes “lovers.” he goes “this is my… shane.” he starts power walking away from interactions. he starts making flappy hands. do u understand that this is not a smooth man he only plays one on tv

[themoonandmyman]

one of my favourite things to imagine is Ilya in Vegas 2014 spending 30 whole minutes figuring out the sexiest position to stand in for when Shane comes through the door.

Just pacing and sipping vodka and freaking the fuck out trying to decide if he should go shirtless or just unbutton his shirt for maximum effect. and then he has to stand by the window where the light catches his side profile and he has to look so Cool and Detached because this means absolutely nothing No Sir. he has no emotions whatsoever but Cock. He totally doesn’t feel like his chest is cracking open

Sad that Harris (a fat character that is treated as more than just a silly gag to laugh at) will not be portrayed by a fat man BUT im already seeing the racist takes start and we're not gonna fucking do that, no using anti-fatphobia as a means to excuse racism. You can be frustrated that a fat role went to a non-fat actor (and i think we should talk about it because it happens constantly) but that's it, period, no "mmm but he's not ginger and pale" or whatever the fuck, no. Justice Smith get behing me

Connor/Ilya as "The Fallen Angel"

I headcanon that Hayden Pike starts hanging out with the Centaurs at some point so he can spend more time with Shane, but also he genuinely likes the other guys on the team (except Ilya. They will forever be pretend enemies). And eventually Bood or Dysktra or one of the other vets on the team asks Hayden what Shane was like as a captain. Ilya will be super interested to know as well and the rookies will be paying attention also. Hayden doesn’t know he has the attention of the whole Centaurs roster that is present except for Shane who stepped away briefly.

Hayden will get quiet and serious, because the question brings back a lot of nostalgia for him. The good old days before most of the Montreal team revealed themselves to be truly shitty and toxic. “Shane was… Shane was a good captain. The greatest. He led by example. He inspired by just being him. He was never a vibes guy or the guy to run team bonding events, but he made sure they happened. He’ll tell you he was a bad captain because of that, but that man knows how to outsource the things he’s mediocre at and he made sure it got done. He was the best captain I’ve ever had. He was dependable and he never complained. He was the best damn player on the team and he made you believe you could reach his level too if you just worked hard with him. He could say jump and no one would ask how high. We would just jump.”

Hayden would then look up and around at all the Ottawa players listening to him. “Do you know the speech Shane gave before our first cup win? Before game 7 that year? He was sitting in his stall, doing the calming breathing exercises he does, while everyone else was all jittery because we knew it was do or die. And he just stands up suddenly and looks at all of us. Then says ‘I believe in you. I believe in us. I’ve got your back. Do you have mine?’ And he waited till we all gave a positive response back before he said, simply, ‘Let’s go get that Cup.’ There was no dying that day. There was only do like our captain said to do.”

Then Shane will walk back into the space to see everyone stare at him in awe like the first day he walked into practice as a Centaur. He’ll sigh and say, “not again. What happened?”

taxi driver Ilya AU…Shane memorizing Ilya's shifts and spending absolutely exorbitant amounts of money going to and from random places just so he can talk to Ilya, Ilya idling outside places he knows Shane goes hoping he’ll be the one who gets to pick him up, after they're together Ilya has a little picture of Shane stuck to the dash...

[hutsonwoolyums]

Shane's really sensitive to certain smells, so Ilya tries out like half a dozen different air fresheners until he finds one that Shane likes, even though it means driving 30 minutes of out of his way to the one auto shop that sells them because he loves how Shane takes in a deep inhale every time he gets into Ilya's car

One night when it's really slow Ilya turns the meter off and just keeps circling the block even though Shane was supposed to be dropped off like an hour ago. It's late and it's bitterly cold outside but the inside of the cab is warm and it smells like Ilya's cigarettes and the air freshener and a little bit like Shane, the clean masculine scent of him. Shane asks about the crucifix that dangles from the rearview mirror and Ilya talks and talks and talks about his mom until his voice is hoarse and his eyes start to sting, and Shane wants so badly to reach out and put his hand on Ilya's shoulder he for a second imagines punching out the plexiglass divider between them

[hutsonwoolyums]

Winter turns to spring and Shane is set up on a blind date with one of Hayden’s friends, some guy from work named Todd who Hayden swears is a Good Guy, and the whole evening Shane is bored to tears. All Todd wants to talk about on their date is Todd, Shane barely gets two words in the whole evening, and at the end of the dinner Todd says, “you’re a really good listener. I’d love to see you again sometime” and before Shane can decline Todd’s lips are on his in a closed-mouth yet somehow slimy kiss. Shane steps back, finds a polite way to say no, no thank you, and is texting Ilya’s cell with an SOS. (Todd had paid for his Uber to the restaurant, but Shane’s not looking to give Todd any reasons to think Shane might owe him a second date). Shane doesn’t think he’s ever been so relieved to see Ilya’s cab materialize out of the darkness, to hear the grin in Ilya's voice through the window, "Your chariot awaits."

Shane spends the whole trip recounting his truly terrible date in his dry, matter of fact way, until Ilya is laughing so hard he has to wipe at his eyes, banging a hand against the steering wheel.

They pull up to Shane's brownstone and Ilya just idles there, neither of them wanting to break whatever spell has settled over the inside of the cab. Finally Shane clears his throat and says, "Well, I uh, I better let you get back to your night. Thanks for rescuing me back there. I was sure Todd was going to ask to split an Uber home." He reaches for his wallet, but Ilya just waves him off, says, "This one's on me. The least I can do after such a terrible evening for you. Plus, your story is the most I've laughed all day. Fucking Todd." Shane just grins and goes to open the door, but Ilya says, "Ah, wait--" He kills the engine and hops out, coming around to open Shane's door for him, bending into a truly ridiculous bow, arm outstretched toward the brownstone, "Your majesty."

When Ilya straightens he’s right there, a breeze ruffling his curls, close enough that Shane can feel the warmth of him cutting through the cool spring air, and he smells so good and his eyes are so blue, and it hits Shane that they've never been face to face like this before, and his mouth goes a little slack, and he feels himself flush when Ilya's eyes dart down to his lips, and Shane lists forward just a little and then Ilya's lips are on his, soft and sweet and open, and Shane's groaning into the kiss, and Ilya's tongue is in his mouth, and Shane's back is pressed against the cab, and his hands are deep in Ilya's hair...

I know everyone hates Hayden except for me, but Hayden referring to Shane as the twins' "older brother" instead of uncle is so fucking funny.

Like yeah I am a surrogate child to my married friends who have a car. They drive me places, get groceries for me, take me to doctor's appointments, etc. When they start having kids, I will say I was practice!

Random questions that won't help you get to know your mutuals

Thank you @sandsdddddddd for tagging me!!!!

what's your favorite shampoo? (scent or brand) you already know I got that scalp acne, so Neutrogena’s T-Sal is my fav (thank you Neuty)

do you sleep with the lights on or the door closed? Do not judge me. No lights because I’m not that bad, but my door stays open 😔 my son (little kitty cat) needs to be able to access his food and litter (neither of which are in my room)

Hot or cold coffee/tea? Mama does not like tea, but for coffee, no preference! In the mornings I have iced coffee because it’s super easy to make the night before. I can sip on it for a while and not have to put in the microwave every five minutes.

do you have the same username for all socials? Nope. My main socials use my government name, but here and ao3 I am TibetanTurnip72. It was the name ao3 christened me with when I made my account a couple years ago and I never thought I would publish any fics, so I didn’t change it. And I’ve still never felt the need to change it. And 72 is my lucky number, so big plus

white shoes, yay or nay? I wear white shoes everyday. Is that bad please tell me

what song is stuck in your head right now? Sandy’s post said something about tiptoeing through the tulips, so rn it’s tiptoe through the tulips by tiny tim.

would you rather watch three 20 minute episodes or a one hour movie? I’m not a big movie watcher for some reason, so episodes

would you still love the person that tagged you if they were a worm? Yes, I have nothing against worms. There’s a picture of me as a child holding up a worm to the camera and I have a demented smile on my face because I was about to put it on my brother to scare him

tagging time!

I tag YOU🫵🏻😀 I’m new and too shy to tag anyone specifically, I’m very sorry. But if we’re mutuals, just know I’ll be checking your page. I’m in your walls.
