if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

I wanted to stop by and say that you are truly mind-blowingly talented and I could (and have) read your works over and over. And because I love a good sock to the solar plexus I was wondering if there was a possibility you might be cooking up some more hollanov at the moment?

thanks for stopping by and sharing this lovely comment!!

am i cooking atm? great question. i do have a WIP for this fandom languishing at a low simmer at the back of the stove, in which irina rozanova leaves her horrible husband and becomes a skating rink coach in 1990s suburban ottawa. (you can guess what happens from there, i think.)

Ilyushka comes back from kindergarten one day with a very strange look on his little face. “Mama,” he says as he sits on the bench and ties on his skates, “I met a boy in my class who also skates every day after school.” He says this in Ukrainian; unlike Alyosha, he speaks almost no Russian. “He invited me to play ice hockey with him.”

“That’s nice,” Irina says absently as she unpacks the jumble of cones that her teenage assistant had been eager to collect for her. She begins to re-sort them by color. “Do you want to skate with him?”

“Of course I do!” Ilyushka says indignantly. “But I don’t have hockey skates.”

“We can rent some,” Irina says. “Why don’t you invite him to come here?” Because if they come here, Irina won’t need to actually rent the skates–one of the many perks of being on the rink’s coaching staff–and she’ll be able to feed them snacks from home instead of having to give Ilyushka pocket money. Things aren’t quite so dire now as they had been when she’d first immigrated to Canada, but Irina has found that penny-pinching, like her excellent posture, is a habit she can’t easily shake off. There’s always a little calculator running in her head, punching in numbers and comparing the sums to the bottom line she knows they need to make it to the end of the month.

“If we come here Alexei will be mean,” Ilyushka says sulkily, kicking his feet.

“Don’t kick when you’re wearing skates,” Irina says sharply without looking up. “You know that’s dangerous.”

“Didn’t you hear what I said?” Ilyushka demands. “Alexei will be mean and then Shane won’t want to be my friend.”

“Tell me about your friend,” Irina encourages. She tries to say this name, Shane, and she can hear that she’s doing something to its syllables that Ilyushka is not. Alyosha is old enough now to be slightly embarrassed by Irina’s accented English so she’s been trying to practice more. “What’s he like?”

“He likes hockey and red crayons, but only the ones where the paper isn’t ripped,” Ilyushka says. “He can write his name two ways, just like me, except not like me because the letters are very weird. Did you know that Japanese people write their names in little houses?” He sketches a rectangle in the air with his forefinger.

“Is Shane Japanese?” Irina asks, surprised. She’s coached three little girls with older brothers named Shane, and they’ve all been bog standard Westerners—toothy white grins, floppy brown hair, crisp blue jeans.

“Sometimes,” Ilyushka says, by which Irina assumes he means partly.

hmm kind of want a childhood toxic best friends au where they're in love with each other and completely clueless about their own feelings and ilya keeps "stealing" girls shane says he's interested in by sleeping with them first.

and when shane finally does get a girlfriend when they're like eighteen, ilya seduces and fucks her. he thinks about shane the entire time and is absolutely furious with himself about it. he casually tells shane about it like a week later because as angry as he is at himself for doing something so terrible, he's equally angry at shane for making him feel this way and it makes him want to be cruel.

shane confronts his girlfriend about it and as she's tearfully apologizing to him, all he can think about is how jealous is of her. and he kind of wants to ask her what it felt like, getting fucked by ilya, and of course he hates himself so much for it that when she asks him to forgive her and take her back he says yes, just to punish all three of them.

Noooooo, because consider the implicaaaaations.

Shane eventually breaking ties with Ilya personally after he takes her back. The Hollanders (Shane specifically) are the only family he's known since he was 12. They were always his safe space in the storm of his upbringing. Shane always left his window open for him at night for Ilya to sneak in and sleep in Shane's bed. (Yuna once set up a cot in Shane's room. It wasn't used.)

But, though all this - they still have to interact professionally. Their friendship is famously known throughout the league. From before their draft it has always been Ilya&Shane, Hollzy&Roz - best friends who always played like crazy but always checked in with each other after the games and even during stoppage. (Think Haaland & Bellingham) Maybe they even both played for the Canadian JHL so they both know (and the world knows) what it looks like when they play together.

Their friendship is PROFITABLE for the league and they are told in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS that they have to keep up that facade.

Oh baby

No one is doing it like Ilya Rozanov. He’s in a gladiator costume. He sent the rookies home from his party because he’s depressed. His boyfriend drove two hours with a butt plug in because Ilya looks hot in that gladiator costume and Hayden Pike called him a prude and that bothers him. Shane said I’m a freak and I need my boyfriend to know that, but Ilya can’t stop crying thinking about Shane. Ilya is looking down at his plugged up boyfriend giving him a bj under the gladiator skirt and he’s got tears in his eyes. He’s alarmed by the tears in his eyes and responds by fucking Shane nearly upside down on the couch like an inversion table. He’s doing fine. Maybe he should think about therapy.

[fractally]

Sometimes people say that Ilya’s characterization changes dramatically from HR to TLG but I think it’s more like the “expectation / reality” frame from 50 Days of Summer. We spend most of HR in Shane’s head perceiving Ilya as the coolest hottest man alive and the minute we hop into Ilya’s head it’s like oh. Oh no this man is sticking a fork into his toaster

[ilyapasta]

Ilya heard you must feel that you are abandoned by god to be a good top and said ah well yes and then never thought any deeper about it

you think that you're so alone in the world then you read literature from hundreds of years ago and you realize that other people have always felt this way

Ilya flopped onto his back, shaking with laughter. He mopped at his forehead with the damp shirt he was holding.

“I almost let you win.”

“Liar.”

“The view was not bad. From behind. Almost worth staying there.”

Shane didn’t know how his boyfriend was able to speak in full sentences. “Shut up.”

“I like those little shorts.”
