one way Kip Grady and I are very different is that I would rather cut off my little toe with garden shears than allow a rich person to see me being impressed by the trappings of their wealth

#Heated Rivalry #rewatch #banging a hot pro athlete but shaking my head and frowning so he knows that I won't speak in his defense when the proletariat rises up #at most #at MOST #I would be like “that's a great view”#but that is IT. I would not say WOW to that man's fucking fireplace.#you know what I would say #I'd say “damn bitch you have the space for a bookshelf this size and you haven't put any motherfucking books on it”

I know we like to talk about how everyone working on this show put their whole pussy into every little detail and mostly that's true but then sometimes Kip's got a textbook that just says ART HISTORY and when you go to zoom in on the text underneath that main title, it says

Volume 1: 2nd Edition

the description on the Hunter episode is "a hockey player's high-stakes career collides with love when a chance meeting ignites a spark"

Shane is so relieved when Ilya makes the joke about the Cup, during the sex scene in Vegas. his whole body language changes. he's like, yay, we are playing!

#Heated Rivalry #rewatch #don't worry baby Ilya is going to make both of you feel terrible #just give it a sec

do you think Shane had a little plan for what he was going to say to Rozanov before the awards and he practiced in the mirror beforehand being sooooo casual and chill and relaxed and then Ilya messed up the whole plan by only showing up with five seconds to go

#Heated Rivalry #rewatch #btw I know we talk about Ilya's hand sliding down his back #but I don't want to sleep on his thumb resting so lightly behind Shane's ear

goddammit can't cope with Ilya so completely dissociated and out of his body, looking at Shane's text message to try to feel a little better

#Heated Rivalry #rewatch #doesn't work tho #cause he's just been horrible to Shane #ah the life of Ilya Rozanov #hating himself in Russia

no but I Do want to kill Ilya's father for pouring a drink, handing Ilya the drink, and then scolding him for drinking

#Heated Rivalry #rewatch #I don't think it's the dementia #I think that's his move #cause he sucks

on a more serious note, you gotta admire Shane's extremely valiant efforts to be sweet to Ilya in Socha. that last attempt, where he takes a step forward and says "are you okay?", there's such total vulnerability on his face right after. his feelings are hurt and he knows Ilya's about to hurt his feelings again, more, but ☝️ he still is just too genuinely worried for Ilya to quit while he's ahead. a nice boy.

#Heated Rivalry #rewatch #Ilya meanwhile calculating how mean he actually fucking has to be to get this gay nerd to back off #he would like it to be minimal #but when does he ever get what he wants yanno?

I don't like the music during Emotionally Significant First-Time Anal SORRY. it's like a CW show where someone breaks a plate in a rage and storms out to her car and then the maybe-diegetic-maybe-not-you-decide! on-the-nose song comes on to be like "breaking plates! / cause I'm so angryyyyy / someone hates / me when I sang the / sooooooong" it's like that

#Heated Rivalry #rewatch #I love you CW never change

"still mad about vegas?" / "I'm not mad about anything!" is the most Shane Hollander moment to ever Shane Hollander and it has informed every single one of the 80,000+ words I have written about Shane and Ilya navigating the first year of their Official Relationship. "I'm not mad about anything! moi? bothered? you think so WHY? because of the obvious vulnerability in my face? my big wet brown eyes? the way my whole body swayed towards your mouth and I wouldn't let myself have it? m o i? I am not. mad about anything. or upset at all."

birdwatcher (noun): slang used by British Intelligence for a spy

Shane and Ilya are secret agents on opposite sides of the Cold War, occasionally tasked with working together on high-stakes, strictly off-the-books missions. It doesn’t stop them from falling in love.

chapter 1 is posted now!! (mind the tags)

free sample:

“Everything should be pretty straightforward,” Shane said. “I go in, make the sale, assess the situation. Then you can take him.” “Yes, very straightforward,” Rozanov replied. “What could go wrong?” “Don’t say that.” “No, no, you have it all figured out. Should be very simple first mission.” “Don’t say that, either.” Rozanov smirked at him, his eyes sparkling with mirth. Shane glared. The end of this mission couldn’t come soon enough.

gonna tell my children this was the balcony scene from Romeo & Juliet

"I'm NOT SCARED" said Shane convincingly
