LMAO the universe is trying to silence me. This is my third attempt to write this rec list and I've switched browsers to do so. Third time's the charm hopefully

Okay so obligatory disclaimer I am not good a curating fic recs. When I read something I like I just go :] and clap like a seal and then forget to bookmark anything ever. That being said:

The big one for TPE (Total Power Exchange--a specific lifestyle dynamic that I believe there is subtle canonical evidence for in Hollanov, though nothing particularly overt and very ignorable for those who do not wish to see it; not a judgement, just a fact) is of course Decisions, Decisions by @jewelledfoxes. Always an absolute delight to read this fic, which I must have done at least half a dozen times by now. This one is also big for me because it explores a lot of Ilya's nonsexual dominance, which is important for me.

All of @creamsiclemelt's fic is amazing and so crucial to the Dom Ilya discussion, especially Ilya as a mean AND loving Dom (They're not mutual exclusive! They never have been!) If sadism is your thing or if you're even just curious about Ilya as a sadist, I'd recommend it's like you never had wings, Very very gorgeous fic about how the hockey is sex and sex is hockey.

One that I read very recently but has been sticking with me is hot, hot, sweat, sweet by livelyvague ( @shnehollander) which hits a few buttons for me, namely a flavor of dacryphilia I hadn't seen before. Basically, Ilya orders Shane to cry on his cock because he needs to see him do it before he comes. Heady stuff! Also, the title is from Rent, which is always fun.

@probablily's entire body of work is very worth a perusal. all my perversions isn't tagged with Dom Ilya but he haunts the narrative. It's Shane POV and very much an exploration of Shane's shame, (#hisshame) and humiliation kink, which Ilya facilitates of course. prinesi myach is their most recent work and it's more straightforward dom Ilya, but also pet play, and also about Ilya knowing what's good for Shane even when Shane doesn't know himself which is a classic Dom/sub dynamic that you can really sink your teeth into. Pet play isn't even really one of my big things and I read it twice in one sitting. You know it's good.

the profounder the stain by the Anonymous author of perfect from now on is another one that is not specifically tagged with Dom Ilya but that he is very present in. Their Ilya in general always has some very delicious casual dominance going on. There are several points in this fic where he comes through, such as the line where it mentioned that Ilya gives Shane head often, but rarely on his knees; and the line where Ilya just jerks his head to tell Shane it's time to come give him his goodbye kiss. Very dynamic. Also, there's a line in there that I think about constantly where Ilya slips out while Shane is riding him and Shane cries a bit and Ilya says, "I'm coming back baby" and it's like.

I recced this one already this week but it was in a comment section so: always starving, never full by @coffeeinallcaps was verrry good. More about Shane's exhibitionism, his humiliation kink and his shame, but Dom Ilya is there and he's pulling his weight. I like this dynamic for their hookup era as well--a bit more casual and friendly than it's portrayed in canon and in a lot of fanworks but that kinda gets me going. So.

Everything by @bugslibraryy is sooooo good. Theirs is more of a soft Dom Ilya paired with needy Shane and all of it is just so sweet, like a piece of candy. Some of the things Ilya says to Shane in their fics are still so sweetly humiliating, so even if your thing is mean Dom Ilya I think you'll get a few of your jollies. Most of their stuff is housed directly on Tumblr but if you're wanting something specific i would recommend the installment from their Nurse Shane/Security Guard Ilya AU where they have midnight sex. So good and so buzzy and sweet. Bug and I share a love of combining comfort and eroticism.

Shoutout to @mybloodstream-caffeine, whose Tumblr I routinely peruse like the morning paper. They have fics of their own and routinely post about their own extremely correct opinions and those of others. I adore their musings on both dom Ilya AND sub Shane, which are two related but distinct topics that both deserve love. Lately they've been musing on overstimulation Shane, which is of course always delicious.

"The sex tells the story, so it never felt gratuitous to me. The sex is character development. The sex is what is moving this relationship forward, and watching it change over time."

Pls. do not re-post or use outside of tumblr without my permission. I still have some unfinished fanarts from before this, but for some reason I can’t stop thinking about Ilya’s necklace and its significance, so off I go to do a quick fanart just to get it out of my system and move forward with the rest 🫠

“Always so eager,” Rozanov croons. He reaches up and pushes the pad of his thumb down on Shane’s bottom lip until Shane opens his mouth, lets it slip inside, closing his lips around the digit to lick and suck at it. “Desperate for it, Hollander? Need something in your mouth?”

Shane’s eyes flutter shut. He hates when Rozanov talks to him like that; hates it because it’s true and Rozanov reads him so well, lays open so easily what Shane tries to hold in so hard. The words coat him in syrupy heat, though, sliding over and through him: a potent mix of humiliation, frustration and pleasure that has Shane moaning around the thumb in his mouth. He nods. There is no point in denying it, when it’s all out on display.

Rozanov’s thumb strokes his tongue firmly. “Don’t worry,” he murmurs, leaning close and using his free hand to palm at Shane’s straining dick through his sweatpants. “You can have it. I’ll give it to you.”

Shane moans, deep and guttural. Maybe he’s not the only one who’s easy here. It’s a comforting thought. An arousing thought. That his own desire, his blatant, rampant need, affects Rozanov so much, too.

He lets go of Rozanov’s thumb with a wet pop and licks his lips. “Fucking give it to me then,” he says impatiently, bitchily, and watches Rozanov’s gaze darken even further.

Rozanov grins at him. His hands hook around Shane’s ankles and he places Shane’s feet on his thighs before hooking under the waistband of Shane’s sweats and underwear. “Up,” he says, and then pulls them off when Shane braces on his palms and lifts his ass off the counter.

Once Shane is naked, too, Rozanov trails light fingers up the length of his cock, smearing the wetness into flushed skin.

“So wet already,” he drawls. “You are excited, yes?”

It makes Shane’s dick twitch and leak more precome. Fuck, this should not be doing it for him.

“What’s it look like?” he snaps, glad that he’s flushed all the way already. Going by the way his face heats even more, he might change shade and give himself away anyway.

“Mmmh, I don’t know. You tell me.”

What. A. Fucking. Asshole.

Through clenched teeth, Shane says, “Yes. Now can we get on with it?”

Rozanov sighs dramatically. “And they say romance is dead.”

Shane’s stomach flips, heart stuttering. “Shut up. This isn’t a fucking romance.”

“You have such a way with words.” Rozanov is smirking his shit-eating smirk again. “You could ask nicely.”

Shane shoves at his thigh with his foot before he turns, laying himself down on his counter. Briefly, he considers moving this endeavor somewhere else—this is his kitchen—but decides against it. He’ll just have to disinfect it after.

“Please hurry up, asshole.”
