They've already been so careless, unbelievably, intoxicatingly careless. Shane can’t shake the sense that they’re on the lam. It feels like their bodies belong to each other, but at the end of the day, they are both stolen property.
A what if that diverges from canon at the beginning of Episode 6 and explores what could have happened in the absence of the Ottawa plan.

He’s never touched Hollander properly outside of a closed room; never had the chance to know what he feels like under the glow of the streetlights, where anybody could see. His mouth might taste different out in the world.Â

Sometimes I’ll be scrolling some beautiful gif series and I’ll be like oh ok it’s all the Hollanov scenes from episode 2 and then there’s something from the cottage in there and I’m like oh ok it’s just all the scenes where they look really in love and then there’s something from tuna melt where Shane is leaving breaking Ilya’s heart and i’m like what is the unifying theme of this gif series?? And I get down to the caption at the bottom and it’s just like “spit strings”.

Can't stop, won't stop. With one or two exceptions, this is a very Ilya-centric batch of stories.
I'll build a house inside of you by @jtimu (66k, shane x ilya)
“I want to remember this,” Ilya had said then. It was two presses with his thumb to snap his phone’s camera on, his other hand still tangled in Hollander’s hair. Hollander who had looked dumbly back at him, his mouth pink and wet, desire a physical weight across his skin.
You have to delete that, Hollander texted the next day, and Ilya could not contain the fizzing annoyance that this was the only thing that Hollander wanted to talk to him about. He kept it on his phone out of a combination of horniness and spite, looked at the video every time he jerked off, months of masturbatory fodder.Â
The devastating fallout from a phone hack. A truly excellent rendering of one of my favorite fanfic tropes (marriages of convenience) and a well-earned ending.
For the Right Reasons by @citrusses (62k, shane x ilya)
Rozanov says, "Then what is the problem? Tomorrow you give Tiffani a kiss, it will be very nice for her. Will be nice for you, too. Yes?"Â
Shane glares at him, and Rozanov's marble jaw melts into a smile. When he smiles like this, he looks like a prowling cat. Hunger lurks so obviously behind his teeth. Shane can see it.Â
"Hm," Rozanov hums, when Shane stays quiet. "Maybe not nice for you. But Hollander, it will be nice for me."Â
Even though I devour everything citrusses writes, I resisted this one for weeks because I couldn't quite wrap my head around the idea of Shane on the Bachelor. I've never been more wrong. Of course, Shane would get talked into a reality show, and of course, it would be a bit of a train wreck. Ilya is somehow both harder to pin down and more charismatic as a TV show producer. This story is laced with the same deliciously addictive drugs as the source material.
black dog by delagauchetiere (68k, shane x ilya)
Chernysh showed me park today, he texts Hollander that evening. Chernysh had barked at the back door around three o'clock and took himself off through the fence after Ilya let him out. Ilya guesses he'd had enough couch and television time.
Oh yeah? Hollander texts back. It's a nice park. He likes to run.
No running. Just walking.
He was going easy on you then
Hmph. Ilya thinks for a minute. He doesn't want to show his hand here, but also he doesn't want to make Chernysh sick, so. What does Chernysh eat?
The reply comes quickly. Don't feed my dog.
Serious. What does he eat?
Serious, please don't feed my dog.
This slow-burn snuck up on me slowly and then consumed me. AU that diverges from canon after the Prospect Cup, with a sprinkling of something extra.
Something Borrowed/Something Blew by Fangirl_Shrieks/@parcai (38k, shane x ilya)
Ilya looks at his husband's profile—the jaw, the set of it, the specific furrow that has not fully released since the argument, the redness around his eyes that Shane will not acknowledge and Ilya will not mention. He has been looking at this face for nearly fifteen years. He knows every version of it. He has catalogued versions of it the way he catalogues Shane's hockey hands, the Vancouver joke, the way he folds the dish towel over the oven handle. He has a private library of this face and he has been adding to it since before he had the right to.
The face in the front pew of the dream church. Shane with nothing left to manage.
He thinks: I put that there.
An unflinching exploration of llya's depression post-TLG. Beautiful, but not always the easiest read. There were points where it actually felt difficult to breathe.
HOLLANDER VS ROZANOV I by gone_girl (19K, shane x ilya)
...they couldn’t do all the things they usually liked to do because Ilya’s body was a mess. Every muscle hurt, his joints creaked, his eyes throbbed. He felt like a clot of pain, sticky and hot and pulsing. He’d never felt this way after a fight in his life. He felt his heart everywhere.
A visceral, sexy AU where both boys are boxers. Ouch, but also yum.
HOLLANDER & ROZANOV ARE DEAD by eurydicees (13k, scott x kip, shane x ilya)
They’re so fucking stupid, is the thing. It was dumb when they were rookies trading hotel room numbers on the ice, it was dumb a few years into their legacies when they got too touchy about every mention of the other, and it’s dumb now that they’ve apparently tried to make something real out of it. It’s fucking stupid now that Rozanov’s ruined his life for it.
But love makes you do stupid things, and it makes things that look stupid from the outside feel right on the inside. It makes you brave, or dumb, or both at once. Scott knows this very well. His Stanley Cup kiss with Kip is still being used as a reaction image a year or so later.
I am such a sucker for a well done Scott POV. This one is particularly sharp and sad.
Geryon by a_good_soldier (12k, shane x ilya)
He likes to know the distance to a thing just by looking. He likes to know his body can stop if he wants it to. He likes to know the boundaries of what he can control.
Hollander, of course, is beyond control. Beyond anything. Ilya fucks women and snarls nasty things into their shoulders and comes hard, and always knows what happens next. He can chart the pinging radar-line from kissing to shirtlessness to fucking to exit, custom-designed for each bed partner. Never artificial, but always managed.
With Shane, Ilya never knows what the next thing will be out of his mouth. At any time, he might say Shane’s first name. Ah, so he might. So he did.
A gorgeously written, unflinching exploration of Ilya and his relationship with sex. One of my favorite Ilya POVs.
Temporarily/liminality by naokime (10k, rose x shane, shane x Ilya)
When Shane meets Rose, he doesn't think about Rozanov at all. What a relief that is.
It happens so rarely. For the past eight years, Rozanov has been living somewhere in the back of Shane's mind, a constant, unrelenting presence. And when it’s finally gone, it's only natural to think it must mean something.
A variation on the Rose era. I really enjoyed this achy meditation on the limitations of wishful thinking.
