#myilya has a reputation for being openly a giant gossip about other players. and like, not that that’s not canon, but there’s some faction of girls who are lesbians into hockey who call it for what dude bros never would - rozanov isn’t chirping just on the ice, he’s openly mean girling with other players off the ice too. roz “wendy williams” rozanov becomes a trending thing a few times over the course of his career, with brainrot memes about “wendy williams was pregnant with roz here” to match.

a video by a fan of him and cliff marleau talking INSANE shit on the bench resurfaces after The Outing, and the internet starts up on its usual bullshit of how ilya is too fun for shane again. the usual “oh it’s so sad that roz doesn’t have someone to match his energy” and “hollander is so boring what does a guy who talks like this even see in that”.

anyway, svetlana (who cares less about shane’s hockey image and letting him remain untarnished than ilya does—she’s smart and also a minority so she feels less guilt about pushing shane on it) catches wind of this. one day, out of actually fucking nowhere it’s just some wednesday, she posts a video from the cottage. shes been invited to stay the week to babysit shane who is out on IR, and they’re watching a centaurs vs. guardians game.

the camera is shaky, and held low, and at first you can only hear shane in the background, but then he becomes visible at an odd angle. he’s got his injured ankle up on the couch, he’s wearing a really low cut tank top and a slutty pair of shorts. he is also mid rant about “— and if your entire team is still falling apart to this level TWO YEARS LATER just because you lost one good player and another caught a case, then you have to ask yourself what’s f****** wrong with the f****** coaches. i mean, mathewson is an ugly son of a b**** but i didn’t realize he was f****** stupid too. and we’re not even playing well, smith is just that much of a f****** sieve. maybe if he put half as much weight into moving towards the puck as he puts into pushing his wife around — you’d like her by the way-“

the video goes viral instantaneously. people cannot believe that captain hollander is this mean, but devoted hockey fans also keep quoting it, shocked because he’s RIGHT. some girl who’s been a roz fan since boston tweets, “roz will chirp to piss you off, but hollzy will kill your family because he finds you disrespectful to the sport.”

the only response anyone can get out of the rozanov-hollanders is ilya retweeting that post.

it's been a minute since i did my last fic recs post so thought it was time for another !! you'll probably be able to tell from the recs but i've been on an au kick and the ones on here are some of my faves and i cannot recommend them enough !

Compulsion by Wolftales — frat au....dare i say my favorite college au i've read so far !! still a wip but currently at 12/13

Shipping up in Boston by angel_deux — shane gets traded to boston, this one is SO fun (shane starts getting shipped with cliff by the fans)

Hey, Are You Guys Still Open? by unlikelychild — modern au with chef ilya and corporate worker shane and they're SO cute in this (still a wip currently)

It Takes a Village (Idiot) by foureighteenths — the cens helping ilya plan hollanov's wedding but not knowing about hollanov, so funny and just the concept of shane hollander monopolizing ottawa's urban landscape with his ads....Beautiful

No Friction, Just Chemistry by Vera_DragonMuse — modern au where ilya and shane are both farmers market vendors, so fun and their characterization is so so good !!

Better Days To Come by PlatitudinalTeen — shane deciding to go to boston instead of ilya going to ottawa au, another amazing boston raider shane fic !!

drawn in by strange_ghost — college au with hockey captain shane and artist ilya; shane is catastrophically down bad in this one and it's SO fun !!

As the Romans Do by kooksie — roommate au where ilya thinks he must be homophobic when he starts to hate the men shane brings over (ft shane being ilya's bisexual awakening !!)

everybody wins by ilya_and_pasta — au where cliff gets traded to montreal...and then so does ilya (genuinely such a fun read and cliff is so good in this one !)

you live in my dreams by heartfangs — college hockey teammates au where shane keeps sleepwalking into ilya's bed (such a unique concept and i loved it !)

[writinginasnowglobe]

can't describe how happy i am that the "hockey is sex and sex is hockey and both are ilya and ilya is both" line in "he's my best friend (who i think is hot)" is resonating with so many people like is that not the core thesis of shane hollander's existence

[writinginasnowglobe]

Thank you so much for the fic! The first time I saw a ‘walks like a dog’ fic it was just Ilya being stupidly in love with Shane and horny as hell for him, no controlling or nagging. I thought THAT was what the tag meant. Thank you for writing something so true to Shane! He loves Ilya for his assholeness and that is the pure truth!

exactlyy, i don't want this fic to be seen as a complete condemnation of that tag because it's not supposed to be !! i just feel like the fandom has unfortunately taken that tag and ran off with it into the sunset to an extent that doesn't always feel like shane or ilya to me which is how i got the idea for this one

i am, however, fully condemning the nagging wife shane hollander trope 😌 let's let that one go please !

thank you so much for reading i'm glad you enjoyed it !! <3

[writinginasnowglobe]

i think at a certain point shane would start getting seriously annoyed at the seemingly widespread idea that he's somehow supposed to be "controlling" ilya. maybe it starts off as a lighthearted joke with the way some of their friends will glance at him in anticipation when ilya says something particularly asshole-y like they expect him to tell ilya off. and at the beginning maybe shane somewhat gets it (but really though, he doesn't) because yeah it's his reputation in the league and maybe the rivalry plays a part in it too, especially for people who've never gotten to know him, but eventually, it just starts pissing him off

they're at the kingfisher after a game in new york and scott and some of the other admirals are there along with a majority of the cens and they're all having a good time. ilya and some random admirals player are chirping each other and ilya says something a little mean in the asshole way he does with a small tilt of his lips. and shane can suddenly feel eyes on him from scott and carter and troy and various other players, and for a second he doesn't get it. he doesn't get it, until all he does is snort in response, because well, it was true and also pretty funny and ilya really is the funniest person he knows, okay, and ilya nudges him with a small smile when he hears it, but then the stares slowly morph into something like confused gapes, and all of a sudden, he gets it. it's not the first time it happens and it definitely won't be the last, but shane starts noticing it a lot more and it continues to piss. him. the. fuck. off.

hayden giving him an expectant glance when ilya is half-yelling and groaning with a few cens in the bar at the soccer game on tv, like shane is for some reason gonna tell him to quiet down. scott giving him a quick side-eye when ilya chirps about his age on the ice, like shane is gonna tell him to stop; like he doesn't find the multiple layers to ilya's chirps to scott genuinely impressive, like he doesn't find it amusing. evan, though to his credit he was mostly joking, making a sly comment about shane needing to hold ilya back from fighting during a game, like shane would do that when ilya is well-fucking-aware of when to pick fights and when not to because he is the second-best hockey player in the league; like shane doesn't also find it unbearably hot when ilya has a little blood on his knuckles and dripping down the corner of his lips as he calls out mean little quips at the other team with a smirk on his face

because the thing about their relationship is that shane is undeniably attracted to ilya being an asshole. he thinks it's funny. it almost definitely also turns him on. and he likes when ilya is mean and smug and rowdy and a little shit. he likes when ilya is an asshole to him because that's their banter and their foreplay. he likes when ilya is an asshole to other people because he pretty much always thinks what ilya says is hilarious. (plus it's the fact that shane is also an asshole; it's just that ilya says it out loud more often than he does)

and so the thing about their relationship that, for some fucking reason, other people don't get is that shane, from the very beginning, has always and will continue to like when ilya is an asshole. and yes, they're married (shane also thinks some people seem to forget this, because why would shane marry ilya if he truly doesn't like ilya's personality. he thinks other people are a little stupid sometimes.) but they're also best friends and bond over being the best at what they do and how competitive they are and that they're both a little bitchy at times

long story short, i think that at some point during the first season of them playing together, all of the cens (and various other friends/players) eventually learn, as shane continues to not react the way they expect him to, that shane is THE biggest ilya enabler. he won't tell ilya off or nag him, but is actually probably standing a little off to the side with a tiny little smirk on his lips and hearts (and a little heat) in his eyes as he watches his husband

new 5+1 fic about this out now 😌

he's my best friend (who i think is hot) (11482 words) by writinginasnowglobe Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov Characters: Shane Hollander, Ilya Rozanov, Hayden Pike, Ottawa Centaurs Team Ensemble (Game Changers), Zane Boodram, Wyatt Hayes, Nick Chouinard, Evan Dykstra, Scott Hunter (Game Changers), Cliff Marlow | Cliff Marleau, Svetlana Vetrova Additional Tags: Social Media, Twitter, Shane Hollander Loves Ilya Rozanov, Ilya Rozanov Loves Shane Hollander, Married Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov, Post-Book 6: The Long Game (Game Changers), Canon Compliant, Shane Hollander is Obsessed With Ilya Rozanov, Supportive Ottawa Centaurs (Game Changers), Supportive Boston Bears | Boston Raiders (Game Changers), Protective Shane Hollander, hockey is sex and sex is hockey and both of them are ilya rozanov, being in love with someone but also being in LIKE with them Summary: It’s like they think that Ilya's someone to put up with, rather than someone that Shane wants to spend every waking minute of his life with. Someone that is, in every single fucking way, Shane’s person. Someone that knows exactly how to make him laugh and someone he doesn’t have to hide his quirks from and someone who allows his own asshole side to shine when Shane wants it to. Shane loves Ilya, is in love with him. It’s just that Ilya is also his best friend. Or, 5 times that Shane gets annoyed by people thinking he's supposed to control Ilya, and 1 time he finally says something about it.

That scene says, “I want you and not just in a sexual way, but I like you, you make me swoon, you make me melt.” I think that's a really interesting layer. (x)

[isnt-that-wizardd]

it's 2014. everyone is doing the als ice bucket challenge. ilya rozanov is nominated for the ice bucket challenge. in true asshole fashion, once he completes his own video he nominates shane hollander to do the challenge next. shane hollander must complete the ice bucket challenge. he decides to film the challenge after practice, wearing a light gray compression shirt, shorts, and a backwards ball cap, with hayden and jj throwing the water on him. ilya rozanov watches the video, thinking it will be funny. he has never regretted his life choices more as he is forced to witness an already sweaty shane "jock" hollander become drenched in water, shirt clinging to his body even more, head shaking off the excess water with a grin, staring at the camera like he just knew ilya would be watching. it is like something out of ilya's - literally - wet dreams. he downloads the video to his phone. he makes another very large donation to the als association.

"and then they fuck about it" is to Hollanov headcanons what "stop" was to telegrams

[writinginasnowglobe]

i think ilya would sometimes use the stupidest things to ragebait shane like one night ilya sees their cens hoodies that have their numbers hanging up in their closet and he says something about how 2 times 4 is 8 so those cancel out and then ilya still has a 1 which is why he's number 1 and that's why he's the best hockey player duh and shane gets unbelievably ragebaited by that. and then they fuck about it. obviously.

[gurlsrool]

have we considered the possibility of Shane and Ilya being at a fundraising event put on by the Centaurs and there are retired players there. One was their star center when Shane was a kid and Shane gets SO flustered talking to him. Ilya’s just standing there, watching his husband blush over a tall, brash hockey player with curly hair and he’s like …you’re kidding me

the guy walks away and Shane tells Ilya that he had all the guy’s posters as a kid and he was soooo obsessed with him. Ilya’s like “uh huh. yeah. I’m sure”, simultaneously offended and so turned on by the confirmation that he’s the epitome of his husband’s type
