ilya pre first hookup: i wouldn't be surprised if this is his first time i better be a little careful with that awkward canadian i don't wanna spook him
ilya coming out of room 1410 at 9:12PM with his third eye opened: oh okay so i might have underestimated him
Ilya throws Shane a surprise birthday dinner. Only he doesn't actually tell any of their friends that it's Shane's surprise birthday dinner, they all just think it's a regular dinner party. When dinner is served, Ilya stands up, as though to make a toast and says "it's Shane's birthday! Surprise!" (It's not, Shane's birthday is in a few days but it wouldn't be much of a surprise if it was on the actual day).
Cue everyone freaking out because they didn't actually bring a gift and Shane just looking vaguely confused but definitely entertained. Then Ilya reveals a pile of presents he's bought for Shane and tells everyone to pick one out and give to Shane. This idea came about because Shane always complains about birthday presents being thoughtful but ultimately useless because, being a multi-millionaire, anything he wants he could just go out and buy so Ilya's bought him a bunch of stuff he knows Shane will like but that he'd never buy for himself and all of their friends get to be just as surprised as Shane by what "they" have gifted him.
David Hollander is definitely the type of man to randomly put on a song and pull his wife up to dance with him, especially if sheâs stressing about something, or worrying, or upset, or just because. She will usually lightly protest, honey, I need to finish this email, but sheâll happily go along nonetheless.
David does it for the first time in front of Ilya when the boys are visiting and Shane and Yuna are planning (arguing) about something new brand deal.
He puts a song on the record player (Yuna has given up teaching him the Alexa), and he takes Yunaâs hand without a word. She protests that they need to plan out these contract terms and how his son is being difficult about it.
Shane starts to protest at that, but doesnât get far until Ilya pulls him up to dance, too. A very embarrassed Shane goes willingly. Heâs watched his father do this for years but never thought he would be pulled up to dance one day. From the fond looks from his parents, they probably didnât either.
Shane meets Ilyaâs smile with a half-hearted glare, but canât deny swaying to the music in his boyfriendâs arms feels much better than stressing about a brand deal. Ilya makes a note to ask David for anymore tips and tricks.
I love the opening of Heated Rivalry so much because it sets up the show and Shane and Ilya's dynamic so perfectly. From "not the most sociable" Shane Hollander actively going out of his way to interact (because he's already fascinated by him) to "not liked outside of his own locker room" Ilya Rozanov being a bit of a cocky shit (which we pretty quickly realise is a front) to the instant spark of attraction.
Look at this man experiencing freckles and awkward Canadian politeness and developing a fat crush.
My favourite part however is as Shane is leaving clearly uncomfortable with how their conversation went (he does a head tilt like "well, that went horribly")
Ilya notices and that's when he chirps, immediately making Shane more comfortable as he chirps back. And thus, their lovingly teasing, when they say "asshole" and "boring" they really mean "I love you" dynamic is born.
Also, yes, Ilya's lighter doesn't spark until Shane appears which is just an additional beautiful touch.
Hollanov agree to record their wedding as a personal video diary of the day.
Shaneâs surprisingly quite relaxed. Heâs confident in their relationship, excited to be married, and knows that even if something goes wrong, it doesnât matter, because at the end of the day heâll be with Ilya.
Ilya is stressed. He keeps crying. This is the best day of his life. Shane deserves better, why would the greatest man on earth want him. Heâs never been happier. Somethingâs gonna go wrong, he knows it. Bood, Troy, and Sveta have to keep calming him down and reminding him that Shane loves him and they deserve to be happy together. He locks himself in the bathroom.
Shaneâs getting dressed with Hayden, JJ, and Rose, sipping champagne, feet up as he waits for the ceremony to start.
Once they manage to coax Ilya out of the bathroom, David comes in and does his canon speech about Ilya being his second son. The waterworks start again.
David then checks on Shane. âAt least youâre doing okay.â ââŠ. i-is Ilya not doing okay?â âDonât worry about it, have another flute.â
hollanov long distance era where ilya sometimes texts shane about the random things he finds during the day thatâs shaped like a heart. heart shaped rock, heart shaped leaf, heart shaped clouds etc etc and says âfor u my loveâ and shane spends and embarrassing amount of time staring at the heart shaped pillar detail and ilyaâs âthinking of uâ text because he thinks of ilya all the time too but he couldnât imagine putting it into texts as accurately as ilya would. so shane goes on adventures to find heart shaped things too, and they send it back and forth to each other like secret messages, and they never have to delete them
Post the Long Game, the Centaurs have a game against Toronto (ps: inaccurate depiction of hockey, so read at your own risk), and the Centaurs are losing badly. Dallas Kent is being an asshole and baiting both Shane and Ilya the entire time. By the third period, Shane is so frustrated because it feels like his new team isn't even putting any effort into the game. Then, before the third period starts, Ilya gives another speech in the locker room. He sounds angrier than he did before the beginning of the game, and Shane can literally see the fire burning in his eyes.
Shane is so fucking motivated, along with the rest of the team, that they play their best game of the season yet. Ilya is playing like a man possessed. He is throwing Kent against the boards and taking control of the puck like his life depends on it. By the end, both Shane and Ilya score enough goals to increase their points and win the game.
When the teams are going back to their locker room, Ilya is back to his normal self and chirps at Kent one last time, even winking at him just to get on his nerves. Shane is very turned on by all of this. After they return to their hotel room, he has to suck his husband off once before joining the team again for celebration, just to take some edge off.
The next morning, someone posts this picture of Ilya on Twitter, with the caption:
"Oh, the Russian menace has finally returned home, god bless us all!"
And Shane likes the tweet, because yes, his husband is Ilya fucking Rozanov, and everyone should know that.
my ultimate sexual fantasy is for my brain to shut up
joining the war on declining birth rates on the side of declining birth rates
Shane notices that Ilya always has to be doing something. At first, he thinks its sweet, attentive.
"Is your blanket warm enough? I'll go get another one."
"I will carry plates, go sit."
"Practice is optional for players, Shane, not captain."
And, look, Shane isn't one to lay about. He's up for morning runs, he attends almost every optional practice, he's meticulous about his work out routines. He's a top athlete and so is Ilya, they both work incredibly hard to stay at the top. Still, Shane doesn't have a problem with a lazy afternoon reading in bed, or a free weekend spent at his cottage, or a summer relaxing.
He notices that sometimes Ilya will startle, just a little bit, if Shane walks into the room when he's laying on the couch, scrolling through his phone. If Shane makes even the slightest request, Ilya is jumping to get it done there and then. He's the first one at practice and the last one to leave.
He will take naps with Shane, but he's always up before Shane, working out in the gym, doing their monthly calendar, adding things Shane likes to their shopping list that he wouldn't add, etc.
"Just sit with me," Shane catches Ilya's arm on his latest trip to the kitchen."
"I know, I will," Ilya covers his hand. "I just want to wipe down counters before your parents get here."
"They won't care," Shane scrunches up his face. "They won't even notice. Come sit down."
"Okay," Ilya says, but looks a little torn. "We are suppose to be hosting, not lazing around."
"Ilya," Shane sat up more. "You cleaned the whole house like twice today. I cooked. We aren't lazing around."
"Yes, I know, but..."
"Ilya, you aren't lazy," Shane said directly. He doesn't know exactly why that word seems difficult for Ilya, but he has his suspicions. "And even if you were lazy sometimes, I wouldn't care. I would like it, probably."
Ilya softened. "I know. I'm sorry."
"Don't be sorry," Shane tugs him and Ilya finally lets himself be pulled into Shane's lap. "Just come be lazy with me."
"Hm," Ilya adjusts himself to better snuggle into his boyfriend. "That does not sound so bad."
Ilya has surgery on his shoulder in the off season. The surgery is considered a minor one and everything goes well. He walks up from surgery high as a kite but otherwise fine. Yuna, David, and Shane are talking to Ilya when a nurse walks in. The nurse explains heâs here to examine the small incision and check the stitches but when he tries to pull down the hospital gown, Ilya freaks out and tells him no. âIâm married!â He slurs out. âHappily married!â They try to explain that the nurse is just doing his job but Ilya isnât having it. Only Shane can undress him so Shane peels back the gown enough for the nurse to look at the stitches. Shane apologizes for Ilyaâs outburst but the nurse shrugs them off and says it was actually kind of cute.
Shane and Ilya will often ask each other to explain little cultural things. For Ilya, itâs the odd English word or Canadian phrase. For Shane, itâs translation of Russian media or a pop culture reference.
So when theyâre lying in bed one day after a long evening practice, scrolling on their phones, Shane turns towards Ilya and asks, âwhatâs a âslavic stareâ?â
âWhat?â
Shane turned his phone screen towards his husband. Itâs a list of âTop 10 Athletes with Best Slavic Stareâ.
âI am only number four?â Ilya frowned.
âWhat is it?â Shane pressed.
âIs this,â Ilya tossed his phone aside and rolled over on top of his husband. He had himself propped up on his hands, strong arms bracketing Shaneâs head.
Shane looked confused at first. Ilya closed his eyes and set his features. When he opened his eyes, they were gazing up at Shane, chin tilted down. His jaw was set tight with a hard line at his brow. All playfulness had fled his features.
It was the same expression Shane had seen during important games. Games where Ilya wasnât just trying to win, he was trying to destroy the other team.
âIlya?â Shane breathed.
But Ilya just stared. It was intense, focused, like his world narrowed down to a single task.
It felt like⊠how Shane imagined a rabbit would feel caught in the eyes of a wolf.
âIlya, stop it,â Shane wiggled, hands on Ilyaâs chest to push him off. The fact he used about 10% of his strength to do this meant nothing.
Ilya grabbed both of his hands in one of his and pinned them above his head.
He said something in Russian that Shane only caught fragments of. His voice was deeper like it got when he spoke his native language. Shane got âyouâ âwantedâ âgood boyâ and âmeâ but it was enough for him to vaguely catch onto the meaning.
âIlya, IâmâŠ,â Shane whined and unsuccessfully tried to yank his hands back. âIâm tired. I just wanted anâŠexplanation.â
âBut you are hands-on learner,â Ilya said in English but with a thick accent, not dropping the stare.
Shane squeezed his eyes close as Ilya dipped to capture his prey.
Fuck.
Ok but Cliff Marlow somehow managing to get into Ilya's phone after the Tunameltdown in the middle of the Hollandry crashout, and getting Montreal Jane's number.
The entire Boston roster piling behind Marly as he types, trying to decide what to say that could save them because their captain has been possessed by the spirit or a soviet military trainer with knife shoes and if they are forced to make double bagskates again they will either puke or die or both.
So Shane Hollander wakes up one day to a message from an unknown number like "Hello Miss Jane ma'am this is Clifford Marlow I don't know if you have heard of me I am sorry to be a bother I'm just wondering if you could give my good friend Ilya another chance, I promise that whatever he did he won't do again, we will help we will teach him to cook and clean and do laundry and he will cook you the best sandwiches ever if you only give him a chance only if you want of course if it's not too much of a bother Miss Jane please and thank you" and he goes through the seven stages of grief in like 4 seconds before it's even 7am. They manage to add the link to a very big spa gift card that they all chipped in to buy because at that point they're desperate.
consider: Shane did not go to college because he is Hockey Jesus. However. His math skills are stellar because he needs to do hockey stats math in his head while skating circles around the rest of the league. So your chirp hc about points per game. Biblically accurate.
i think shane is just one of those people with really good number skills. not math overall because my hc is he sucks at geometry and the other branches of math, but heâs really good with analysing numbers, which really helps him read the ice and other teams
I'm still drawn to Tom Ford for Ilya. Yuna needs to get on that brand deal. source
I don't know that he'd go for the tone on tone look, or the color in the first one, but I think he would look amazing in them. ETA: I can easily see him going for the pink one after they're outed as a big fuck you, but I actually think he would wear it it before that too. He would look luscious in it. Shane would want to bite him like a peach! And not understand why Ilya bought torn pants.
"They are distressed, Hollander."
"They're ripped, Rozanov. How much did you pay for them anyway?"
"Style has no price."
"That much, huh."
ETA2: More Tom Ford for him here and here.
in a reasonable canon, shane would simply have THEE most dependent and intimate relationship with the montreal team nutritionist. like, he has her on speed dial. they text multiple times per day. she spends 60% of her work hours adjusting meal plans for his texture issues and aversions. nobody else really sees how intense their connection is.
when he was crashing out about trading to ottawa, he said, "You know, it's just gonna be really hard to leave melissa," and hayden was sitting right there like. "melissa?? it's gonna be hard to leave MELISSA??"
but i think we can probably convince melissa to move to ottawa with him, don't worry.
pov shane and ilya decide to be boyfriends at the cottage, but then shane is such a bad texter and caller afterwards that ilya thinks he changed his mind. because ilya is texting asking how his day went <3 and shaneâs just like fine. had practice.
ilya is calling him just to hear his voice and shane is like ??? why are you calling me?? is everything okay? are you sad about your brother again?
ilya is sending nudes and shane is immediately deleting them and not acknowledging them because heâs scared of his phone getting hacked
finally when ilya comes to visit for the first time heâs like my shane ?? do you want to break up? and shaneâs like no!!! never!!! tears are in his eyes. âwhy would i want to break up?!!!â and ilyaâs like well you never return my bids for attentionâŠ.
shane feels awful and starts to learn the social norms around Boyfriending <3
