“this is ilya, i will never listen to your voicemail” and shane takes that to heart!!

he thinks ilya doesn't ever listen to his messages, so maybe he starts leaving one here and there. maybe they're nothing really, just a note to say he tried to call. sometimes leaving off with "oh, this is shane. by the way" he calls when he knows ilya won't be able to pick up; "hey, uh. i know you won't get this, but i was thinking about you. i miss you. i know you're just in ottawa but... sometimes it feels a lot further. i love you." and sometimes he'll be watching a game and god. he wants to talk to ilya about that play, so he'll leave message about it. shane never really tells ilya that this is something he does.

ilya knows, of course. watches his voicemail fill up little by little. always makes sure there's space for new ones. has ones that he listens to so often that knows them by heart. memorizes the way shane laughs because he thinks no one will hear it, the sound of his breath on the other line between words. he listens to every one of them.

i watched die hard over christmas (obviously) and it mixed up to create an angst/crack cocktail with hollanov in my head.

so imagine it’s a closed private montreal practise. early morning or very late at night. the only people in the building are facility workers or the team or the coaches.

and then a group of people come in, criminal hostage takers obviously, who won their guns around and collect everybody up and because Shane is the captain they record him basically as a hostage for some reason possibly critique of the NHL.

cut to them live streaming a video of shane being recorded and reading lines that have been fed to him. It’s been spread to every major news outlet in Canada and America.

and shane is the only person that knows ilya is in the building… ilya is hiding in an upstairs bathroom. he’d come to deliver some papers about their charity work to shane (and other things) before he heard gunshots. ilya gets the phone notification for the livestream and figures out what’s happened in the stadium.

then he goes bruce willis on this bitch and it’s incredible

hollanov crackfic where the ottawa centaurs play a game of assassin during a trip, and ilya is loudly dramatic and declares he will win as he is a “tactical genius”.

safe to say, people are so focused on ilya that they forget that shane is arguably the far more silent, far more dangerous player. even ilya.

by the time that ilya kills his first opponent, a carefully crafted attack that took ages because no one trusts him … only for him to turn around and find out that literally everyone else is dead.

shane wins. obviously.

Shane got cramps while playing hockey, so Ilya came to help (I swear)

since ember and ice went into the fae romantasy genre, i feel like it’s my god given right to pivot and write a hollanov dragon riders thing a la iron wing (?)

The difference is that jealous Ilya looks homicidal while jealous Shane looks suicidal

In a world where most Autistic characters are either

A. Literal children

B. Portrayed as "mentally children" and thus incapable of understanding sex

or

C. Taught a very heteronormative idea of sex and relationships by other characters

Shane Hollander is a breath of fresh fucking air. He's allowed to be socially awkward, routine oriented, monotone, etc, while equally being sexy and sexual. And while part of his story is learning about his sexuality and his desires, he's not portrayed as some wide-eyed virgin for Ilya to teach. He's submissive, but not passive. He's allowed to be horny and to want sex.

So often Autistic people in media and IRL are desexualized, meaning we are stripped of our sexual autonomy, leading to the belief that we are incapable of having or wanting sex. Because of this, Autistic people are often not given proper sexual education, not allowed to engage with sexual content, and have less opportunities to explore our sexuality. But the truth is Autistic people are just as diverse in terms of our sexual identities, desires, and experiences as our neurotypical counterparts. This does not mean Autistic people experience sexuality the same as neurotypicals, as our sensory needs and communication differences do impact our experiences (another thing we can see in Heated Rivalry), but that our sexualities deserve to be equally celebrated.

This concept is a huge part of my final collection and what I'm planning on taking into my master's degree, and it's so wonderful to see media engage with these ideas and do so in such an authentic and empathetic manner. So thank you Rachel, Jacob, and Hudson.
