Hi! Do you know of any fics where thereâs some sort of drama around being micced up during a game? Preferably before Shane and Ilya are outed
I had so much fun reading these, so I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
hot mics and hotter rivalries (or how i learned to stop worrying and let my boyfriend out us on national television) by pucksandpower
Mature - Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov - Completed
Shane Hollander is going to murder his agent.
And he means that literally. Because his agent is the reason heâs currently wearing a hot mic during Hockey Night in Canada. Against the Ottawa Centaurs. Against Ilya.
Ilya, who has no filter. Ilya, who thinks workplace professionalism is a hilarious suggestion for other people. Ilya, who has spent a decade perfecting the art of saying absolutely unhinged things to Shane on the ice, safe in the knowledge that nobody can hear him.
Ilya, who definitely doesnât know about the microphone.
What follows is sixty minutes of Shaneâs life flashing before his eyes while his secret boyfriend enthusiastically discusses their sex life, their broken furniture, and exactly what he wants to do to Shane after the game â all broadcast to millions of viewers.
The problem? Shane canât get a word in edgewise to warn him.
There are no spoilers in this one, but in my opinion, this has a better coming-out than in The Long Game.
the hot mic heard around the world (or how hollanov broke the internet) by pucksandpower
Teen and Up Audiences - Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov - Completed
The hot mic incident was just the beginning.
Now the internet watches in real-time as Ilyaâs Spotify playlist gets leaked (with NOTES), Shane attempts subtlety (narrator: he fails), they bicker about boy bands on late night TV, someone admits to having a ring for six months ON TWITTER, and approximately 20 different social media platforms collectively lose their goddamn minds.
Featuring: journalists having breakdowns, Reddit threads that require moderator intervention, TikTok compilations with 1.2M views, brand partnerships from Skittles, a plague of engagement speculation, and two hockey players who cannot stop being chaotic disasters on main.
The fandom was writing fic about them. Turns out reality is messier, queerer, and somehow MORE unhinged.
[or social media reacts to the week following the Hot Mic Incidentâ˘, told entirely through tweets, Reddit posts, Instagram stories, podcast transcripts, and the worldâs most romantic Spotify playlist]
This is part 2 of the previous fic, but in my opinion it can be read as a standalone fic. To me, this has Dear Evan Hansen vibes, and I will not explain.
Ilya Rozanov's 12 Step Plan For Public Flirting by OtherWaysHome
Teen and Up Audiences - Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov - Completed
Ilya still loves a terrible decision. Nearly ten years of exposure to Shane just mean that now, the terrible decision comes with a plan. This time it comes with bullet pointed lists, research. Fresh ideas scribbled late at night and stuck, one over the other, onto the fridge door.
This crucial, terrible decision comes with deliberation and forethought and a twelve-step fucking plan.
A plan that starts with âattend every game he can between the womenâs leagueâs rivals-turned-wives Clara and Katyaâ and ends with âkiss Shane on the mouth at center ice.â
Because Icarus has nothing on Ilya fucking Rozanov. The internet is not ready. Yuna is going to have his head for this. Step one begins on Friday. He cannot fucking wait.
--
Half Ilya Rozanov POV and half social media fic tracking the chaos, managed and otherwise, that is unleashed as Ilya enacts his plan.
Ilya is still with Boston in this fic. It includes a sort of soft launch of Hollanov with a social media aspect. Also, as a fun bonus, it includes the pwhl.
Searching for something to say by WeirdV
General Audiences - Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov - Completed
Spoilers for the book The Long Game
Whoever thought it was a good idea to mic up Hayden Pike, sleep deprived, on his first game back from paternity leave, was either an idiot or a genius.
Hayden Pike would never do anything to risk his best friend's happiness - or reveal his secret.
But a sleep deprived Hayden Pike who is worried about his wife being alone with 4 kids for the first time - might forget he is mic'd up and he might forget to tell his best friend and - more importantly - his rival.
Why am I sad over a lighthearted fic.
hot mics and cold air vents by claremontfox
Not Rated - Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov - Completed
The thing about rivalry games is that everyone expects blood.
Big hits, shouting, gloves on the ice, and something explosive enough to replay in slow motion with dramatic music layered over it for weeks afterward. Boston versus Montreal always delivered on that front, so when the league decided to mic up Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander for the broadcast, nobody questioned it.
If anything, it felt inevitable.
What no one expected was domestic bickering.
I loved reading this one so much. It is short and sweet. I just love happiness and fluff.
A Chrip Too Loud by Azure_K_Mello
Explicit - Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov - Completed
âYouâre starting to sound like him,â said Hunter.
Shane thought⌠if Hunter knew⌠he had had years to out them. He had been in the room next to Ilyaâs. But he had never said anything. Feeling numb, terrified, Shane said, âIâm sorry, what?â
âYou fucking heard me, Hollander.â Hunterâs face was so angry. Shane saw the truth, the threat, in the manâs face.
He was on a mic. He was micâd. This would ruin Shane and Rozanov. He dropped his gloves without really thinking about it. He never dropped his gloves. Hunter couldnât run his mouth without teeth. His teammates caught him and held him back. He chirped a lot, calling Hunter old and past it, hoping to distract him, get him to not say the worst thing he could possibly say. All Shane could hope for was a distraction.
When Hunter chirps at Shane while micâd up for behind-the-scenes content, Shane feels sick. He knows his parents, Ilya and the world hear it, and he worries about the consequences.
This fic is canon divergent in a good way. This includes an alternative coming out for Shane/ sort of Hollanov.
