I’m always looking for good non-woobified Shane rec’s :] lol @mla-citation
Off The Leash by v197sstuff. This is one that works with against the trope in a very interesting way where the Internet Woobifies & feminizes the fuck outta Shane while the stark reality is kept in focus. If you haven’t read this one, I seriously recommend it.
Gossip Girl by Northisnotup. Vastly different vibe but this looks into Shane’s friendships and makes super clear that he is an Active Participant which I greatly enjoy. Easily one of my favorite Rose fics if that sells it!
falling into you by quinnfuhbeay. A look at what if Shane didn’t leave during the tuna melt scene and instead they entered into a weird phase of unclear relationship status (Ilya thinking they’re boyfriends, Shane thinks they’re just fucking).
Game Day. Ilya keeps dying, time keeps repeating. Shane is, obviously, suffering. A very frank portrayal of what this could do to a person.
Five and a Half Beers and Just as Many Chalupas by Erisenyo. LOVEEEE this fic, I can’t believe I’ve not recommended it before. Such awesome characterization, the premise is Shane getting to know the Centaurs & they realize he’s entirely different from what they expected. Seriously seriously enjoyed reading it and I routinely go back and reread for the love of the game.
Please tell me more about Cliff and his extremely terrifying and actually very mean wife,,, she has compelled me,,, and I'm compelled by Cliff more in relation to her
I wrote a damn essay and tumblr deleted it, I thought it posted and it was goneee - that being said. This is probably the better version of my thoughts lmaooo so I guess? It works out lol. I am deeply inspired by you saying she’s like the lead in a Christmas movie that doesn’t change I LOVEEE that phrasing so much
Under the cut I have my thoughts :} AND! If anyone has ideas about names, for some reason none of them are working for me so I’d love to hear any ideas :}}
- Cliff & her meet when they’re both still in high school. She’s at a country club with her family and he’s staying with some extended family over the summer before he gets drafted and they’re start having casual sex pretty soon after meeting. He’s just started in his fuckboy era and she is looking to lose her virginity to a guy that won’t make it fucking miserable.
> I imagine her as the future owner of a huge conglomerate that has hands in just about everything. It’s a company that was started by her grandfather, and she’s dedicated to not being the generation fuck it up. She’s incredibly dedicated, sharp, and is generally not liked by anyone who works with her bc she has a very active bullshit radar and doesn’t care for social niceties. Basically? Shes allowed to be mean + autistic on main bc she’s hot and rich. Good for her.
- For the longest time, she has no clue what Cliff does for work nor does she care. It’s only when he gets traded to Boston (the actors are like a decade apart which I normally love considering but for this .. idk how about Cliff is 3-4 years older) where she works/lives that it becomes relevant enough for her it to matter. Previously, anytime he was in town, they’d meet up very similarly to Shane & Ilya.
> Crucial difference: no feelings. Not even one beyond attraction & annoyance from her for the longest time. He starts really liking how mean, matter-of-fact, & driven she is about 3 years in. Cliff doesn’t have any issues sleeping around still, he just takes those feelings & locks them up tight to not be considered.
- They see each other pretty often when neither of them are busy, and despite Cliff knowing he Does have feelings, he maintains his roster &
[feelings realization] She realizes it’s something bigger for her when Cliff absolutely bodies Shane. They’d made plans to meet up for that night (she was in Montreal for a meeting) and she didn’t watch the game but she gets alerts about the score and if anything happens so she saw that it was him that injured Shane. She’s not really expecting much when he comes in, but he’s absolutely off that entire night. He’s not the funny, chill guy she’s used to seeing. It took them 10 years, but that’s when it really hits her that this is a fully realized person. And he’s upset about hurting someone in a way he hadn’t expected to (not helped by the fact that his best friend is so clearly pissed about it).
> In terms of “classically comforting” someone, she’s not very good at comforting him, but she tries and that proves to be more than enough. He finds her matter of fact statements and stiff demeanor deeply charming, and has the entire time they’d known each other, so this isn’t any different.
- This is a big turning point for them, they’re still not much more then fuckbuddies, but now the “buddies” part starts factoring in. They talk about things, and it’s only really them that it comes up that she will sometimes watch him play. That she likes watching him play. Then comes a night where he comes over and she says, before anything starts, hey I don’t really want to fuck tonight & asks him to just. Hang around. Her chef made too much dinner, so, why doesn’t he just stay? And he does. And it’s good. Shockingly good.
- Cliff starts thinking that maybe they’re heading towards something (he puts a timeline in his head that maybe she’ll let him take her on a date in a year) when she, offhandedly one night, mentions that it’s been strongly recommended to her by PR and her team more generally that she finds someone to date because it would make her more approachable. He’s staring at her, he’s used to her saying shit like (vague) but this feels like a time he should hear it exactly how she means it.
> He asked her, did you have someone in mind? She stares at him. You. But I’m not looking for some boyfriend, I want a Husband. Without thinking, he says yeah I can do that.
> key part? Nobody said shit to her, they wouldn’t dare, but she’s allergic to admitting that maybe this is something she wants. She, years later, will admit to him that she just wanted to marry him but didn’t know how to say it. He looks at her and goes… yeah I know. If somebody had actually said that you would’ve gone to prison for murder. (She frowns. I have a really good team of lawyers.)
And some small details that I’m chewing on: when Ilya leaves Boston: she’s pissed at Ilya for leaving Cliff. Doesn’t really matter his reasoning, she’s not happy that he did that to Cliff and she Lets Him Know. Bc that’s her husband’s best friend what the fuck kind of business does he have LEAVING (she gets it a little more once she meets Shane. She sees it).
Her and Shane are not friends. But they’re not not friends. He and Ilya aren’t out nor have they gone to the cottage yet when she sends Shane an invite to her bachelorette party bc it would “be fucking rude not to invite him.” Cliff calls her asking why he just got a text from Ilya telling him that he needs to get her to back off. She does not back off. She sends another invitation with the words no need to be a bitch about it written at the bottom. He accepts. There is no explanation given for why Shane Hollander is going to the bachelorette party of Cliff Marleau’s soon-to-be-wife and, perhaps more importantly, the owner of several multi-billionaire dollar companies. They get invited to the same parties and only talk to each other but if anyone asked if they were friends they’d grimace. As close as they ever get is her offering to have Hayden killed post-outing.
i would love to get some time travel fic recs from you! i haven’t read any and i love time loop fics so i’m sure i would also love time travel<3
Ohhh I’m very happy to suggest some! :))
(Incomplete) Find Me at the Starting Line by Pollenate. “The Centaurs’ plane crashes and Ilya Rozanov dies. Roughly three months later, Shane Hollander dies on the ice. And then he wakes up in 2008, on the day he met Ilya Rozanov for the first time.” Currently has four chapters and this is a really great look into some of the more unexplored parts of Shane. I don’t want to spoil anything but Ilya & Shane have a really great relationship in this one.
(Incomplete) So It’s Gonna be Forever by Lila_Mac. “Ilya is plummeting to his death when he closes his eyes, heart full of regret. When he opens them in what feels like just a second later, he is standing outside a rink in Regina, Saskatchewan. There’s a banner on the building across the street: World Junior Hockey Championship 2009.” Has 19 chapters so far, and this offers a really interesting look into Ilya & Shane, specifically the question of what would it be like if they were publicly friends all along. They really feel like a pair of kids in this one in the best way!
(Incomplete) One More Time by Fernsofgreenandblue. “After taking a hard hit on the ice, Shane Hollander wakes up--in his childhood bed. Given a second chance to try all over again, Shane embarks on a new mission: Find Ilya, fall in love, and make everything better than the first time.” Has 15 chapters as of today, and this offers a great look into Shane mental state after time traveling!
(Complete) A Year Safe in Your Heart by Anonymous. “The summer before Ilya joins the Centaurs, Shane wakes up nervous. It doesn't stop from there.” I will admit. Bummer but VERY interesting and it has a good ending, it engages with the more fantastical elements of time travel is a really interesting way. I cannot recommend this one more.
(Complete) Cut to the Feeling by Charlotte_Stant. “It had been a very weird day, but Shane wasn’t going to jerk off about it a second time.” This is a REALLY fun look into this, getting to see an 18 year old try and make sense of his life at 35 is peak. I really recommend this one.
(Complete) If I Knew You Then by Goobergabz . “Shane isn't very good with kids. This kid, all by himself in the snow, looks like he needs someone to talk to, and that someone is Shane.” Short and sweet. Anything more and I’m probably spoiling but this is a very good one.
(Complete) Synapse by Floormusic. “Shane leaves Ilya's penthouse suite in Vegas, 2014 heavy hearted and unkissed. He wakes up in 2022.” Yeah this is porn with plot. If you’re interesting in that, major recommend!
(Complete) Tuna Melt Rewind by Gnomey2001. “What if Shane hadn’t panicked after the tuna melt incident? What if, just this once… he stayed?” Porn with plot again!
(Complete) Double Take by Shaneobi. “The one where Ilya randomly meets a witch and decides to jokingly wish for two Shane's at the same time. When it’s granted, he very happily indulges.” I have no excuse, this one doesn’t really have plot but it IS good.
Kink game: CNC, impact play, breeding, cum play anddd mpreg. Go!
Link to the post in question! In the first one of these I did I liked some fics so here is that first ask here if you want to read any of those, I’ll be linking more hollanov fics today too 😈😈
CNC ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would like to thank Hollanov for introducing me to this in a major way. I just think CNC creates such create opportunities for differing dynamics and the fleshing out of different dynamics especially for hollanov. She’s new to me, but she’s an all time fav.
With Blood, Sweat, & Tears starting off strong, lol, with Ilya being an actual serial killer & Shane’s stalker. Read the tags, shut off your brain, and don’t worry too much. Has a happy ending for hollanov at least
What Does This Room Like heavy intox play, so skip if that isn’t your vibe. Really a good read & has some very good mean dom Ilya moments, & rare treat, there is even some scene negotiation lol
The 5 Steps of Playing Hard to Get (the Shane Hollander Patented Method) is easily my favorite fic I’ve read in a while, it’s truly a deranged premise and it reminded me how much I enjoy the “one party thinks it’s non-con while the other is FULLY into it” bit of play for fics, and my saying that basically tells you all you need to know (tho, still, read the tags).
Puppies, Julius Caesar, and Other Things series has trans Shane, married hollanov + Luca having a fun weekend. Everything is tagged extremely well, so just read those tags fully and you’ll get the vision.
Impact Play ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ she’s my friend, my companion, I’ve known her the entire time I’ve read fic and she has seen me through some bizarre fandoms. 🫡thank you impact play
Risk is a really fun rookie+omega!Shane/retired+alpha!Ilya fic, it touches on so many different kinks, and is a good time. Read the tags!!!
More of a Gift for You magical flashlight linked up to Shane’s pussy in the first chapter and in the second dildo linked up to Ilya’s dick 😇
Open Door Policy omega!shane being used as stress relief by the entire Boston team 🙂↕️🙏
Breeding ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such a fun addition to any fic, it gives things that little extra kick that I generally enjoy.
Parental Advisory (cis) Shane wants Ilya to put a baby in him and there IS some level of plot & internal discussion about this which I ALWAYYSS enjoy. It’s just a fun way to consider this kink
The Walls I’m Bracing short & sweet :}
Cum Play ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ it loses a star bc the (tmi) texture of cum in my mouth can sometimes really ick me out if I think too hard but every other version, you are beloved to me :}
Double Take 2 Shanes x 1 Ilya = Profit >:}
Close the Door Marly x Shane x Ilya :} dping happens which is always a win
Play Destroy & I can Break You Off and Hold You Down two different fics where Ilya fucks Shane’s girlfriend and Ilya & Shane fuck about it :} one of my favorite . Tropes? for them
Mpreg ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ listen. LISTEN. I know he’s controversial, but this is an OG for me. I have an added soft spot bc I found out about Mpreg before I found out about trans people and it gave me that first moment of like. Envy? Is the word I’ll use? Like. It did something to my brain, cracked my egg the barest amount I’d even claim. So that’s my good friend, right there.
Any Time, Any Place pregnant omega Shane + free use at the cottage
Sticky Situation author took the tag Shane Hollander Walks Ilya Rozanov like a dog and ran with it, pregnant!Shane muzzles Ilya and uhh yeah they have some fun. This one has a fun time with A/B/O dynamics, so just enjoy the ride (and check the tags lol)
Of Ice and Men & I’d Share a Life (and You’d Share a Life) would it really be me if I didn’t include some baby trapping fics? :}
For the fic rec thing can you give me top 3 of the filthiest narstiest of your faves under 10k???
You get five (more then five …..) bc I can’t be stopped lol hope at least one of these catches your eye!
logistically efficient by prettyshadow (theaujasmin). Shane’s beautiful mind + Blowjobs = Profit :}
what do you say, jane? by FagurFiskur. Cliff has the connection between Jane-Shane made for him, puts some things together, and is offered the chance to watch Shane & Ilya or, more aptly, Jane and Ilya :}
Preying Grounds by freakshaped. You asked for freakiest, so here is succubus Shane & (?)demon Ilya going at it. Super duper major recommend >:} (and while this is my favorite, the others in these series would fit your prompt as well!)
Always the Quiet Ones by CarnivalMirai. Cliff walks in on Shane & Ilya. They have some fun about it :}
Shanepussy & Friends series by teeveeactress. This series is :} very good. Mostly in the same universe, shut your brain off and enjoyyyyy :}}
I see u the vision of bear Ilya do you have any headcanons or thoughts to share with the people
I am desperate as Shane for bear Ilya :,,,,,(
I think. 32 hits and Ilya’s metabolism starts slowing down and there’s that initial moment when he starts having to use the next belt loop where he’s like. Ah fuck. I guess it’s time to start eating healthy lest my husband finding me unattractive (I really believe Ilya, like all atheletes, has a very bizarre relationship with his body that goes largely unexplored. But you just KNOW he sees it as a vehicle for sensuality/sexuality and especially as a vehicle for SHANE’s attraction, like, he wants, more then anything, to stay attractive - valuable - in Shane’s eyes and doesn’t really think that’s a bad thing) (and YES I believe ilya has a ‘healthier’ relationship with his body where he knows it’s not All about value and numbers and appearances but there are still those ugly little voices that he hasn’t fully unraveled yet)
But then he notices where Shane’s eyes are straying and sticking. His stomach, his thighs, his arms. Shane has always liked when Ilya lays on him, lets out these little sighs of happiness, but now, he relaxes and he stays relaxed for what could be hours even after.
And that’s not even mentioning the way Shane acts when his shirt rides up now over his stomach, he acts like he’s being hypnotized and can’t look away. Ilya can’t say with confidence that it changes their sex life that much bc they were already desperate for each other, but Shane seems to be getting there quicker whenever he can really look at Ilya.
Bc by that point, he’s already stopped waxing (something he started when he was 18 and just. Never really stopped until a particularly lazy cottage summer where Shane “off-handedly” mentioned he liked the added hair) and now with the added fat? He qualifies as A Bear, and people have begun to Notice. That, being perceived in a new way, takes some time for Ilya to accept but he finds this new attention where people are, genuinely, calling him Daddy on the internet (Galina doesn’t laugh at him when he first mentions this in therapy, but it’s close) (Ilya and his weird relationship with daddy kinks …. <3)
Ilya’s brain tries desperately to make this something bad, to twist this, but it’s so hard when Shane looks at him with stars in his eyes, appreciative hands, and begs for Ilya to really sit on his face <3
SIGH. Tumblr won't let me leave this as a comment so instead you get an ask. Ryan Price is extremely underrated! Ryan and Fabian are basically that lesbian comic with the butch and the femme both looking at each other and thinking "Sigh! A goddess like her would never want a wretch like me!" Ryan is a 6'7" lumberjack looking motherfucker with a canonically MASSIVE dong (and trouble orgasming). Fabian is GNC as fuck and super prickly. Hates hockey because it's homophobic, but every hockey player who meets him (Ryan, Shane, and Troy) all think he's insanely hot.
Ryan has also been openly dating men for like ten years before Scott comes out, just no one notices or cares because he's shy. Which is the funniest possible follow-up to everyone else's angst about getting caught with men.
ALSO, Ryan walks in on Ilya and Shane making out not once but twice. Is literally the only one besides Hayden and Shane's parents who knows about them. Ryan finds out before Ilya's therapist does.
Now you know more facts about Ryan Price!
Ryan Price I fear you are going to become one of my elite employees ….
