I also wanna recenter the moment ilya wanted to get shane off in the car while shane was driving
+ special shoutout to another moment of shane getting off on the idea of ilya showing him off in the same scene
His Rozanov Radar is going off.
Logging on today to see that zero cycle was taken down (for good reason) was so so heartbreaking but unfortunately not at all surprising. I’m not usually an RPF fan, and this problem seems to be much more prevalent in RPF spaces, where the subjects of fics can quite literally be contacted, but I’ve been noticing a trend that extends outside those spaces as well.
I’ll never claim to be an expert, but fandom spaces (tumblr, ao3) have been so incredibly important to me for the majority of my life now. I have loved finding such wonderful communities of ppl to obsess about Merlin, Sherlock, Marvel, or whatever else with on these sites. For a long time (and honestly even now) I was never comfortable sharing w others in my real life that I read fanfic and engage in fandom, and I think that was a common experience, but that’s no longer the case.
I can’t pinpoint exactly when I started to see a change, but over the past few years, and then especially with the incredible popularity of Heated Rivalry, many people who would usually look down on fandom spaces started to engage with them more, coming to tumblr from X, TikTok, insta, etc. without a real understanding of how these communities work and stay respectful. It should absolutely be a good thing that reading fanfic, engaging in fandom is no longer something people are ashamed of, but there is a flippancy and casual disrespect associated with this culture that is harmful to people who have been engaging in these spaces for years, especially authors.
It is not ok to treat fics, fanart, and other fandom works the same way you would other forms of media. It is not ok to enjoy these works and then, in the same breath, disrespect their creators by ignoring their express wishes. As @callsignrex put it, fic authors did not sign up to be celebrities. Taking their works out of fandom spaces leaves them open to harassment and worse from non-fandom communities online that they did not sign up for!
Fandom was never meant to be exclusive, but it is something that can be so inherently personal. Treating tumblr and ao3 like other social media platforms is harmful because it assumes that authors are churning out content for another algorithm, instead of (often) deeply personal writing that they wrote first and foremost for themselves, as well as to be discussed with kindred spirits around the world. Fandom communities stay special and safe and sacred as long as the people within them respect others’ wishes and treat others as human beings, not just faceless usernames behind a screen. I would not be able to bear seeing fandom spaces be stomped out by the same insensitivity that plagues social media.
If you are entering a fandom community for the first time, please. just don’t be horrible. Don’t let your enthusiasm stop others from being able to safely engage with fandom as well. Fandom is beautiful and supportive and creative and incredible; be respectful, you’ll thank yourself later.
My third born if you continue the hollanov - marleau threesome ficlet. Ilya at the end especially......the buzziest thing I've read in a while 🙏🏻
third continuation of this short post (and the next) where shane tipsily contemplates getting squished between ilya and marleau’s sweaty bodies <3
a little over a month passes, and shane thinks about getting pseudo panini-pressed between ilya and marleau at the club damn near every day.
strangely enough, they don’t talk about how hard he got that night. ilya doesn’t bring it up and shane sure as fuck isn’t going to, despite how uncharacteristic it is of his husband to pass along an opportunity to tease him. it just…melts away, this hot little memory that shane can still feel in his body when he closes his eyes, but is never cornered to talk about. which has to mean he’s in the clear. safe.
how could he know he’s laid himself perfectly limp between the jaws of both bears?
it’s the first time shane's been inside cliff marleau’s house.

continuation of this short post where shane tipsily contemplates getting squished between ilya and marleau’s sweaty bodies <3
it’s been several months and shane isn’t even thinking anymore about getting panini-pressed between his husband and his husband’s bro-y best friend. it was buzzy and fun and ilya teasing him about it while they fucked afterwards was kinda hot but he’s done with all that now.
that’s the plan, at least, until he finds himself in a club. finds himself a little drunker than he intended. finds himself on the dance floor, ilya guiding him with long, sexy movements that keep them pressed together so nicely, chest to chest. it’s less dancing, to be honest, and more swaying. taking stock of each other’s bodies and following the ebb and flow of them. and shane is drunk and happy and a little turned on by his smoking hot husband so that’s why he reacts the way he does when it happens. when they’re suddenly not alone.
out and married hollanov having drinks at a non-hockey friend's house. maybe shane's old stylist who he really got along with and then her friend group absorbed him, which in turn meant they absorbed ilya.
anyway they're all sitting around a fire pit having cunty little cocktails or smth and just enough has been consumed that the convo turns scandalous. someone (we'll say his stylist) is waxing poetic about her gorgeous new fwb and their equally gorgeous friend and says "that's a sandwich i'd love to be the jelly in."
and shane - tipsy but ever present - his ears sort of perk up puppy style across the fire like, "sandwich...?"
which inspires this whole conversation about handsy threesomes. and shane's gonna be honest, in theory that sounds hot. he's had his fair share of late-night jerk offs around the idea, don't get him wrong. but he's got ilya locked down - he's not sniffing around for a third. the concept, however...the physical sensation of being caught between two hot sweaty dudes? yeah that's juuuust enough to get him zoning out into the fire, tipsy mind having a field day filled with sweaty muscles and tight, delicious pressure crowding him in on all sides.
ilya recognizes this look in an instant, of course. he's sitting right next to him after all. "making your imaginary sandwich in front of your husband..." he tsks, but it's all in good fun. he's obviously very interested, just like everyone else who has tuned into the convo because shane's kinda-
"panini..."
"what?"
"meat in a panini," he drowsily explains, in what he thinks is a perfect and impressively cohesive explanation of the image in his head right now. "absolutely fuckin' crushed..."
ilya can't even pretend to be surprised because he knows his man. and his needs. and his frequent desires to be smashed into oblivion under ilya's full weight. not even fucking him, most times. just squeezing him. pressure for pressure's sake. "ah... of course." this makes perfect sense. even if the rest of the group doesn't seem to be following. "and who is bread for your meat, my panini?"
that gets a couple giggles, but shane is fucking locked in, brother. like he's making plans already. "well you, obviously."
"obviously." okay thank god. "and who else?" he's reaching out to run his fingers through the back of his husband's hair while he speaks. "who will help me keep you still? maybe bood would if we-"
"marleau."
ilya pauses. blinks. "what?"
"cliff marleau," shane says. as if ilya is seeking clarification on which marleau is being discussed and like-...
ilya tilts his head and it's a little judgy. he knows. like the careful tone he carries with what he says next but like...hello? "sweetheart, cliff marleau fractured your collarbone and put you in hospital..."
and shane, god love him, he's just sitting there with this dreamy, almost blissed out haze over his eyes as his mind wanders. "exaaactly..."
The tuna meltdown scene was probably one of the first times in their relationship where ilya needed aftercare. That boy is in a daze, seeking comfort and kisses. He subconsciously follows Shane's body as he's getting off the couch before he realizes what's happening. He just needed to stay and hold Shane in his lap for a couple of minutes!!!!
ilya makes shane smile in that way where only the very corner of one side of his mouth twitches and turns up, the really sweet one when paired with his gentle eyes, and ilya reaches out and touches his thumb to that spot, says, "mine".
shane raises his eyebrows. "what?"
"this," ilya says, moving his thumb back and forth. "when this goes up. is mine."
"oh you're claiming my smiles now?"
"yes. also this—" ilya seeks out and pokes a spot high on shane's right cheek, "—this freckle."
"mmm, okay. anything else?"
ilya makes an 'I'm thinking' face. "probably. but I cannot think of anything now. I will get back to you on this," said in the tone shane reads his emails in. shane smiles fully and leans in. ilya copies him till they're nose to nose. brushing.
"well you don't have to think about it," shane says, "because it's all yours."
ilya asks, "what is?"
"me." shane puts his arms around ilya's neck, tilts his head, says into ilya's lips, "I'm all yours."

CBS Morning's Instagram post with Hudson and Connor from January 12, 2026
All Instagram posts
Ilya 'Shithead Little Brother Of All Time' Rozanov is tragically in love with Shane 'Beloved Only Child' Hollander, who spends a decade thinking his situationship means everything he says
I think that the fandom heard through the grapevine that Ilya "admits" that Shane is the better player in TLG and people who have never read the books have run with that a little too far. For clarity's sake:
Ilya does say that Shane is better...one (1) time. He doesn't say it in public, and he doesn't say it gleefully or gladly or proudly. It's not a happy moment. It is, in fact, kind of tense and awkward.
Ilya says it after (A) Shane beats him by 0.13 seconds in the speed skating competition (so, to be clear, Ilya is not lying when he points out that this is basically a tie; it genuinely is very close) at All-Stars 2021, and (B) he has a kind of upsetting conversation with Scott wherein Scott jokes that the Centaurs are still nothing despite their recent success, specifically compared to Montreal of all teams, and also wherein Ilya asks Scott about gay married life without being able to tell Scott that he himself is about to get gay (bisexual) married. IMO it's heavily implied by these two events occurring back-to-back that Ilya is experiencing a depressive comedown from the highs of getting proposed to and going on a winstreak. This is RR's (admittedly kind of clumsy) way of showing that Ilya's depression isn't magically cured by The Power Of Love, and that all of Shane and Ilya's problems aren't solved by the proposal. Ilya experiences a high (proposal, winstreak) and then gets "slapped down" (losing the All-Stars comp, Scott jokes that the Centaurs' recent success means nothing, relationship is still a secret for now) and feels bad again.
Ilya sort of sneaks it in (he says "Can I tell you a secret?") while he and Shane are having sex, specifically while Shane is facing away from him and ~distracted~. Again, it's not something that he's announcing loud and proud. He can't even say it to Shane's face.
SHANE PROTESTS. MULTIPLE TIMES. Despite being distracted and clearly unable to think straight, Shane is confused and kind of alarmed: "God, why was Ilya saying this? Did he really think so? Did it matter?" (Immediately after asking if it matters, he protests again, thus answering his own question; it clearly matters to Shane.) This is not something that Shane considers accurate.
The whole point of Ilya saying that Shane is better is that it's jarringly out of character and not really based on anything. Ilya says it because Shane beat him one time by a single tenth of a second in a skill that, Ilya mentions earlier, Ilya is usually better at (i.e., this is not a representative result). When he tries to double down, he says that Shane was always the better player, which is just straight-up demonstrably untrue; Rachel Reid was really, really deliberate in balancing Shane and Ilya's accolades in Heated Rivalry, so we can be pretty damn sure that Shane and Ilya were equals pre-Ottawa move, at least. Ilya is for sure wrong when he tries to say that Shane was always better, if nothing else.
SHANE DOUBLES DOWN ON PROTESTING. He insists that they're tied, and Ilya agrees. Conversation ends (or, rather, shifts to the "Marlow almost hears them" smut lmao).
Takeaways:
Ilya saying that Shane is better probably has more to do with his depression than it does with reality. We are given no indication that this is a true and objective fact. It falls in line with Ilya's other depression-related self-worth issues in thinking that he's a bad partner/friend/teammate/captain, which we know are false.
Ilya does not and probably would not ever say this loudly, publicly, or proudly. This is a shameful thing for Ilya, who relishes competition and --- before the worst of his depression --- used to be incredibly self-confident about his hockey skills. It isn't #goals or "WAG Ilya" behavior.
Shane absolutely does not accept Ilya saying this passively. He believes firmly that they're equals and simply Will Not Let It Go. Even if Ilya did for some reason assert publicly that Shane was better, Shane would absolutely not let that stand. He would probably actively disagree.
IIRC, no other character ever agrees with this take. There's no widespread belief or opinion amongst unbiased characters that Shane is a better player than Ilya. It's not an objective fact or common opinion.
"Shane and Ilya are equals" is literally the entire premise of their relationship. Their original book is called Heated Rivalry. The fact that Ilya is unable to believe in the fundamental premise of their love and the thing that brought he and Shane together is SAD, y'all. The man is depressed.

Do you guys think if Shane hadn’t introduced himself to Ilya, that the first time they played each other (pre-draft) Shane’s first impression of Ilya being a jerk on the ice would’ve changed the trajectory of Shane’s career, or Ilya notice Shane (maybe when they’re shaking hands) and the commercial would’ve still happened?
Because there’s a part of me that thinks that no intro between them would make Shane be part of the rivalry like how the league painted them to the world, and beat Ilya for more awards, because his first impression of Ilya was him being a complete jerk and being a really good player simultaneously. Maybe this would evoke Shane to have made it his goal to get 51 goals in his rookie season (but never say this to the public, because he didn’t want to come off cocky) or win more Stanley cups, and have been extremely upset when Ilya wins with Boston.
But I also think that Ilya would’ve noticed Shane at some point, at least to a certain extent, and not need the one-on-one/introduction with Shane at the beginning to make a move on him. Maybe the beginning of their relationship would’ve been a bit different, at the most.
But there’s also a third possibility I thought of, which is a rivals-with-benefits-to-lovers Hollanov where Shane is very public about how competitive he makes himself with Ilya, and because it’s great publicity for a new rivalry in the league, they ask for a commercial of the 2 of them. Ilya, who thinks Shane’s attitude is hot, though, still hits on Shane, and from there they still do their hookups like in the book/show, it just takes somewhat of a different path. I feel like it would even highlight Shane’s coming out more, because just-because-he-was-hooking-up-with-Rozanov-and-only-Rozanov-for-years-doesn’t-mean-oh-shit.
Or do you think there’s simply no universe in which Shane Hollander wouldn’t introduce himself to Ilya.
I CAN'T HELP IT. 🤣🤣🤣
