Ilya “Russia’s Grestest Love Machine” Rozanov would’ve had the most BRUTAL crashout getting the ‘we didn’t even kiss’ text from Shane. Four words and I 100% believe that man is putting his hand through glass, punching mirrors, flipping tables

that text would cause enough psychic damage to cripple Ilya’s bloodline for generations ok

Ilya’s self worth is SO dependent on what he can provide and he’s always been the good hot sex teacher for Shane that’s their whole THING! Imagine getting a critique on the sex you JUST had VIA text FROM the man that you taught to give blowjobs? (The crowd boos as Ilya fumbles The Shane Hollander)

Like.. any of the other characters can be done sooo dirty as long as it makes a good interesting story and you will catch me not caaaaaring!!!

imagine being Ilya, and your mother commits suicide and your father helped drive her to that point

and your big brother always hated you-

(why? Why did he always hate you? Did he just know you were destined for greatness? Did your father? Did your father make sure to tell him every day how much of a disappointment he is, an eldest son unable to provide for his family, useless compared to his talented little brother?)

-and by the first anniversary of your mothers death he’s lost in the coffin of your fathers office and blacked-out eyes and powder smeared across his cheeks and the body of a stranger across the city, instead of being back home with you, the alone youngest child?

but all Shane sees is his compulsive bossy pedantry constantly vomiting out of him onto Ilya’s lap. He can’t help it- he just wants to share what he knows because he needs Ilya to be healthyandhappyandsafe and he loves him but nobody likes a fucking nagging bossy pedant!! It’s the most annoying trait! People call him stuck up and robotic all of the time!! People are annoyed by him!! And Ilya is people and Ilya will be annoyed by him and resent him and hate him and then leave him-

so Shane works sososoo hard to stop. He’s biting his tongue when Ilya orders a second sundae or leaves for a smoke break and clicking out of their text chain when Ilya texts him at three in the morning or works out on a strained shoulder. He will fucking stop. He will be so good and not annoy Ilya because Ilya is a wild animal right? He doesn’t want to be tamed. He will leave if Shane tries to make his arms a cage, and then Shane will be nothing but empty and hollow inside.

and Ilya is rabid in his own head. His fishing for affirmation and affection and irritated-but-solemn orders is coming up bone dry. Shane shows love through wanting him to be well. Shane says he wants forever by trying to guarantee it. Shane can’t have stopped loving him right? Right?

so Ilya’s escalating because there needs to be something that will garner a reaction and then it will all be Okay Again- he just needs one nag and it will be okay again and Shane will love him again.

the inside of Shane’s mouth feels bloody-raw with his hard he’s biting it, watching Ilya be increasingly risky with his health and do things that he knows upset himself, all the while staring Shane down like he’s challenging him to slip up but he Won’t.

Shane just becomes more sneaky about keeping Ilya safe (because not doing it to his face didn’t count right? That was okay right?), replacing the thin fucking jacket Ilya keeps wearing outside in the Boston fall with a puffer coat because he can’t fucking handle seeing Ilya wear it and-

the next week Ilya is looking for his too-cold jacket to send pictures of himself in with the plausible deniability of going out for Starbucks (almost as distressing) when he sees the new jacket and he knows it was Shane that got it and it’s warm and soft and has fucking Lamborghinis embroidered on it and he’s so fucking relieved that just falls face first into his bed, clutching it to his chest.

he still doesn’t understand what’s happening, but surely that’s something right? And that’s what gives him the confidence to, upon next seeing Shane in person, ask why Shane’s so angry with him.

And Shane sits there shocked because he’s trying to stop Ilya from being angry with him?? And Ilya is insisting Shane must be mad at him because he’s not showing him affection properly. And Shane is once again just like ????!?!?!? Because all he’s doing is trying to show affection properly!!!

So Ilya points out that Shane has stopped bothering him about being alive so they can be together forever, so he must not want to be together forever anymore.

and Shane is just like, [shocked pikachu face] you like that??? I stopped because I thought it was going to make YOU stop wanting ME for forever!!!!

Obviously not something that can happen in the show, and I don’t know what level of sixth-dimension-fourth-wall-break bullshit this would be, but just imagine okay?

you know the really incredible cinematic musical edits made by the stupidly talented people in this fandom?

imagine by some fuckass fluke in the matrix, like.. the ‘Teeth’ Hollanov edit gets sent to the gc universe internet

AND THATS HOW PEOPLE FIND OUT ABOUT HOLLANOV

actually… probably ideally it’d be one of those really magical ones that really tells the heartache and length of their story.

and so the gcu has to reckon with the fact that Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are together, but also see all these different perspectives to moments they’ve seen

like, eagle eyed fans immediately notice the moment on stage at the awards where Ilya touches Shane’s back, a wild contradiction to what looked like an excruciating interaction.

they piece together how young they both must have been at that first meeting behind a building, with cigarette smoke dividing the air behind them.

that first commercial is now revealed to be an insane courting technique by an eighteen-year-old Ilya Rozanov, who then stared Shane Hollander down in the showers, which he LIKED!!

the internet bleeds a bit at the rapid cuts between a shockingly tender kiss in a stairwell to an ice-cold Rozanov shouting at a stunned Hollander, an Olympic ice rink at his back, and then Shane Hollander later walking into an elevator, teary eyed, leaving a blank faced Rozanov alone with his cigarette and his vodka.

Rose Landry’s entrance into the narrative is a devastating blow to them too, especially right after quick clips of Ilya holding Shane while he sleeps, and passing him a sandwhich.

We FEEL Shane’s desperate relief as Rose holds his hand across a restaurant table with an unbearably gentle expression, and Svetlana stands like a guardian between Ilya and total solitude with his family.

Tampa and the All-Stars game becomes just as celebratory for them as it is for us, as they see flashes of feet touching under a bars table and bright, hopeful eye contact, intercut with hands clasped under a sunset and a messy cheek kiss on-ice.

The close up, contextualised look on Ilya’s face when Shane gets hit on the ice, and the video cutting to Ilya caressing Shane’s face in the hospital sends people spiralling because OW, and also they knew that Rozanov looked upset and then visited Hollander after his injury!!

it’s overwhelming catharsis for them too to see Shane and Ilya reacting to Scott Hunters’ coming out, cut to Shane carrying Ilya’s suitcase, cut to tears and hugs and toes touching and heads in laps next to a fire.

In this au I imagine Shane and Ilya hadn’t told anyone (except maybe Sveta and Rose) about their relationship, but maybe it got leaked a few days before through a security camera or something.

so the entire world feels on fire with vitriol for them, Shane’s parents and both teams are furiously baring down on both of them.

there’s accusations of cheating (both in the game and on Rose), manipulation, conspiracy, and just overall betrayal and disgust from every direction.

and then the edit gets leaked

and everyone just. Stops. For a second.

just had a vision….

there is some reality in which instead of picking Rose as an absolutely beautiful wonderful intelligent woman that he adores immediately to try and give the hetero lifestyle one more try…

he meets SVETLANA

Like… logistically I don’t know how this would work the visions aren’t for providing logic but STICK WITH ME

like?? Svetlana is ALSO beautiful, wonderful, intelligent, etc….

and more importantly,, she’s INSANE about hockey and fucking RUSSIAN

I’m imagining a scenario similar to how Shane met Rose; where they bump into each other and Sveta immediately starts chatting his ear off about hockey, but not like an annoying fan, like an EXPERT, in a way he literally neverrr comes across!!

and she’s sooo beautiful, and she’s telling him what to do and what she wants so he isn’t lost, and she has that same accent that makes his skin feel like fingers are tracing down his spine.

(in fact… she’s actually a lot like a certain Russian man he’s Not Thinking About after the tunemeltdown)

(this is another way Shane justifies liking her, she’s just like Ilya!! And she’s actually a fucking woman!! This is perfect!!!)

With Svetlana, I don’t think they would jump to cutesy dating in the same way it happened with Rose, because these two women are very different people, however….

I think a lot of the events that happened with Rose (the jersey at the game, clubbing together) could absolutely happen with Svetlana, she would just do them differently.

She would affirm Shane’s ‘heterosexuality’ in a different way, because she’s a fuckboy, and still interested enough in Shane to start hanging out with him, which is validating for Shane in a different way.

And from Svetlana’s pov, I think she genuinely does like Shane, and finds him attractive, but I think mostly she’s just really curious about him, and why Ilya is sooo deeply abnormal about him.

like, she’s not aiming for an actual relationship, and isn’t in love with him, which is also a relief for Shane. They basically just have charged hangouts where it’s clear they’re flirting, but everyone except Shane is aware that they’re ultimately far closer to friends than lovers.

Since Sveta isn’t super mega famous, it wouldn’t break the internet like Rose/Shane does, but Sveta is still a well known socialite online, so people would still know about it. (Sveta/Shane would be an absolutely FASCINATING combination for hockey twt and I think there would be sooo much gold to mine there- I’m imaging racist/misognystic discourse in a smau, or people cooing over how opposites attract and how their babies will have unfathomable hockey iq, and how they’re the hottest couple on the face of the planet, etc)

I’m undecided abt whether she would pursue Shane knowing the situation between him and Ilya, or if Shane would go for Sveta knowing SHE was the ‘girl in Boston Ilya likes very much’ but I think it would be soooo good either way

I think Sveta would definitely break the news that Shane is gay to him immediately after having sex, but probably with less tact them Rose lmao😭😭

but ultimately she would become his really close friend, and one that can give really needed insight into being queer in Russia (and because Sveta is bi in MY canon) and later on, Ilya’s childhood and low moods.

Maybe they didn’t kind of talk before getting to the hotel room in Tampa, so Ilya just gets a text with a room number and time after months of no contact from Shane

Ilya feels fucking insane when he receives the text. He was so sure that he had lost Shane forever by trying to take too much from him.

Shane had wanted sex and sex only from him, and Ilya being too obviously in love with him broke everything.

but now there’s this tiny ray of hope and Ilya zeros in on that shit like a fucking starved bloodhound, he is NOT letting Shane go without a fight

So Ilya makes it to the room exactly on time, picks his sluttiest top and fixes his hair to fall perfectly across his cheekbones, makes sure his cross is right below his clavicle.

He has condoms and lube in his pocket and looks like sex incarnate and all he can do is fucking pray to god and his mama that this won’t be Shane ending things between them forever. He doesn’t care about Rose Landry. He doesn’t care if Shane loves him or not. He just wants him for as long as possible, in any way Shane will let him have.

Shane opens the door and for a second it’s awkward silence, frigid static crackling the air between them. The door closes behind him, and all Shane can get out is an “uh… thank you for comi-“ before Ilya is on him, kissing him like whole world is over.

if he can just delay what Shane’s going to say, distract him from the inevitable break up, then maybe he can have one last time with him.

maybe if he fucks Shane well enough, makes him feel good enough, Shane will think Ilya fucking him is a risk worth continuing.

Shane hesitates for a second and Ilya is just trying not the sob against his mouth, before ultimately Shane melts into him.

They fuck, and every time Shane tries to say anything, Ilya is getting his mouth on his cock or his fingers in his ass, anything to stop the words from forming, anything to make Shane keep kissing him.

And Shane is SO sweet and soft under him, gentle in a way that fucking terrifies Ilya because people are only gentle when they pity him, and Shane would only pity him if he really did want to end things, if he really did want to break Ilya’s heart.

So Ilya puts everything he has into making Shane feel better then he ever has, better then Rose Landry could even attempt, because thats the only way he knows how to plead his case.

eventually they’re both too exhausted to continue, and Ilya hurries around the room, washing Shane so softly, never making eye contact or conversation, leaving the room to ‘go to the bathroom’ or ‘rinse out the stained washcloth’ every time Shane tries to talk.

Shane ends up falling asleep with Ilya sweetly fussing over him, and seeing his sleepy face and hearing the little gasps he makes in his sleep for the second and probably last time makes Ilya feels so raw he could cry.

Ilya leaves him with a forehead kiss, just like the one Shane gave him after their first time, all of those years ago.

-

Over the next few months, this is how it goes between them. Ilya tries to be more subtle about cutting off any serious discussion when they fuck.

He also doesn’t really have to worry about a hard conversation happening online, because Shane is a Good Boy raised by Yuna Hollander and would never break up with someone over text.

So every time they meet up, Ilya is simultaneously so fucking desperate for him, he feels so alive in the days leading up to them touching, also like he’s walking to the gallows.

(little does he know that what Shane WANTS to tell him is that he is Gay, Single, and also wants NOT to be single, with Ilya specifically. Shane is also getting increasingly dejected, because from his pov this is more like that time in Vegas, but with the care of the tuna melt day. The only reason he isn’t having his own crisis is because he’s significantly more assured in himself then he used to be, and he KNOWS he wasn’t hallucinating that way Ilya said his name that day.)

They do figure it out still…

It's like a bunch of screenshots and pics gathered from over the last Literal Decade, perfectly capturing just how whipped Ilya was from day fucking one and how much he made it Svetlanas problem.

She captions it something like "So happy for my best friend and his better half. Even happier that said best friend can now tell other people about how many freckles are on Shane Hollanders' entire body, or what his least favourite sheet texture is because that's really none of my business but I have been forced to know <3"

because, they’re always seen clubbing together!! 🥺And in each others posts and replies!! 🥺🥺 And they spend time together and talk to each other!! 🥺🥺🥺 and men and women can’t just be friends!!!! 🥺👉👈

And naturally because they’re both the most charismatic sexy people alive, the internet has been obsessssedddd with their relationship (and their refusal to confirm anything about their relationship) for YEARS.

The joke that Svetlana is Ilya’s Shrodingers girlfriend breached containment yearsss ago, so they’re a well known, widely speculated and fucking ICONIC ‘couple’.

SO when in 2021, the fanmail leaks and Hollanov confirm they’ve been in a relationship for YEARS….

oh it does NOT go down well

the twitter stan wars go INSANEE. The Hollanov shippers are partying with their victory after years of being called conspiracy theorists and the Ilyeta (Ilyana? Svetya??) shippers are going BALLISTIC.

there’s dozens of viral posts with cheating accusations captioning clips of Ilya and Sveta making out at the 2012 new years countdown, or Sveta taking bodyshots off of Ilya’s abs in 2014.

the most annoying people you know are making devastated YouTube-style-apology vids on Ilya’s behalf on TikTok, and the comments are tagging Sveta over two thousand times

Svetlana and Hollanov are genuinely frustrated because they were literally never dating??? Helloooo??? You think she would want to date this fucking loser????? Uhm noooooo????

And because it’s rapidly becoming a biphobic, slutshaming mess for both Ilya and Svetlana.

(PLUS the people are taking any chance to infantilise Shane, implying he’s been hoodwinked by the evil Russian playboy because the combined power of infantilising Asians and demonising Russians is unchecked on the internet)

Something that makes the little rat in my brain incredible energised is any fic or post talking about Ilyas' perspective on giving and taking in any scenario, but especially his relationship with Shane.

Like, we KNOW his trauma with his family into adulthood is massively centred around the way they extort him for his money and resources. They expect him to always give more than what he has, financially and emotionally, and treat it as less than the bare minimum. In fact, I can see it being internalised in Ilya really severely that he will always be expected to give all of himself to his family, and never to get anything in return, because he's a bad, undeserving person.

SUPER fucked up and abusive obviously, but it does make me fucking feral to imagine how that mindset impacts Ilya's dynamic with Shane.

Like, he views every bit of affection from Shane as something he's 'taking' from him, and in Ilya's mind he doesn't deserve to take ANYTHING, let alone from someone as precious to him as Shane, so all he can do is try to give something in return to try and make it worth it.

Specifically the tunameltdown- everything about that day was Ilya giving Shane everything he could think of as a way to ask for more from Shane.

Providing and cooking very specific food, making his own home comfortable and accommodating, safe small talk in an area Shane is confident in, and of course, the sex.

Everything Ilya asks for in that scene, he directly compensates with something he can provide in return.

I get a chance to spend time with you and hear your voice -> I will let you talk my ear off about hockey and engage your beautiful little mind with is as much as you'd like

I want to be domestic with you and have the experience of waking up after sex with you and then cooking for you -> I will fuck you so good you pass out and then make you food you're comfortable with, prepared quickly so it won't take long enough to bother you

etc,etc all throughout that day (and all of their other interactions.)

I don't think Ilya ever allows himself to consider maybe Shane isn't just putting up with all of the affection and sneaky soft little moments Ilya 'takes' from him.

Butttt maybe he lets his guard down by the tuna melt day. He's being so careful and he's so rigidly planned this day, but it's all gone well and Ilya feels so safe and relaxed in Shane's presence that sometimes he forgets that he has to earn his place there.

And so, when "Shane" slips through his lips, he has a moment of blinding terror, because fuck what is he supposed to trade for that moment of blatent affection and want? Shane didn't fucking sign up for that, and he needs to find something to justify Shane staying, needs to make his stupid clinginess worth it.

But then Shane finishes with "Ilya" on his tongue, and for a moment Ilya is so relieved, because maybe that's its own kind of trade? Maybe Shane felt the same way-?

And then Shane tells him it's too much and he has to leave, and Ilya is fucking gutted, because this is exactly what he deserves. He asked for too much like the selfish man he is, asked for love without providing anything to make loving him worth it.

--

And so, when Shane texts him again a few days after the tunameltdown, making some benign small talk about hockey, Ilya is so relieved he could fucking choke on it.

He swears to his mama and whatever God that may or may not listening, that he's learned his lesson this time, and he will never ask for anything from Shane again.

He will give and give but he would never ask, as long as he could convince Shane to keep coming into his orbit. He would make it so uniquely, devastatingly hospitable for Shane, and never ask anything of him so he would never want to leave it.

So he replies to the text, doesn't let the terrified, frantic way he checks over every letter be noticeable on the other side. He needs to make his reply perfect.

He makes this reply funny and engaging and likeable -> Shane will want to text him again.

[little does he know that Shane is fucking HAUNTED with regret after leaving, and so has decided to try and earn back Ilya's trust and affection, and is feeling increasingly confused and discouraged by the fact that even though Ilya always responds enthusiastically, since tunameltdown he has never been the first to text, and never been the one to initiate any flirting or sexting, and he doesn't know how he's supposed to fix it]

And so the saw trap continues....

....does anyone have a fic like this.....

AU where the entire internet is absolutely OBSESSED with Ilya and Svetlana’s relationship, despite both of the taking great joy in being as mysterious as physically possible. The lighting in a bottle combination of the one half of the insane Hollander/Rozanov rivalry, an insanely skilled, sexy, Russian playboy with the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen - but that’s the only thing anyone knows about either of them.

(picture this happening pre tunameltdown but post Vegas, Shane and Ilya are regular hookups and pining but there’s no serious relationship developed yet)

To the internet, Svetlana is a frequent presence in the background of the Bears’ instagram posts. She’s rarely spotted at games, but when she is, it’s always is the VIP section and decked out for the met gala. And she’s ALWAYS there with Rozanov.

She’s somehow cuntier than him. She’s seen looking like a disco ball under club lights, dancing with Ilya on top of a table with an ease and familiarity that is clearly practiced. Someone recorded her schooling him about hockey at 3am in a raging Boston club, sounding like she was presenting a masters dissertation to a first grader. In the background of insta stories taken at his house, you can see pictures of the two of them on Ilya’s walls, often partying, often with other mysterious people, often younger then the internet has ever seen him.

BUT no one fucking knows who she is!!! There’s no name, there’s no socials, and there’s no interviews.

The speculation about this mysterious women exists as a slowly expanding subsection of Ilya’s fandom for yearssssss…. Until it reaches the attention of the Bears.

and they’re like

Beautiful woman

Clearly close to Roz

They dance like they’ve FUCKED

We know NOTHING about her

Roz is very protective when anyone comes onto her

…..

HOLY SHIT IT’S JANE

So the bears collectively LOSE it because the existence of Montreal Jane, the cryptid that’s pussywhipped their manwhore of a captain has been LEGEND amongst the team since 2010.

The existence of Montreal Jane was also leaked to the public several years ago, one of the bears mentioning a girl named Jane that’s “had Roz whipped and blushing since 2010” and absolutely nooooo one believed it.

“Jane” actually became something of a meme all over hockey twt, ‘Rozys’ Jane’ becoming shorthand for something that absolutely, catagorically, Does Not Exist.

So when the bears finally figure it out… that the beautiful woman always seen with Ilya MUST be Jane, they’re of course absolutely incapable of not leaking it immediately.

and said leak, maybe an instagram post with a few collected pap pics of Ilya and Svetlana with the caption “behold: Montreal Jane” breaches containment in UNPRECEDENTED ways.

everyone is OBSESSEDD with finding out everything about this woman, and then everything about Ilya’s relationship with this woman.

And of course, being the absolute fucking queen she is, Svetlana thinks it’s the funniest shit that has ever happened.

Her and Ilya obviously decide to play it up, never confirming that she's Jane of course. They leave it up to plausible deniability, both delighted and frustrated that even though they’re never caught doing anything non-platonic, the internet INSISTS they’re in love. it then spirals from there as both Svetlana and Ilya become like, FAMOUS famous and their best friend behaviours just fuckinf baffle the internet (and torture a certain repressed Canadian, who of course has Absolutely Zero feelings about this whole scenario)

Idk where to go from here, maybe I’ll update later, but I’m just imagining the most incredible smau shenanigans and the most delicious angst from Hollanov while this is happening.

I just want more of Svetlana period, but I also want more of her and Ilya being absolute soulmate-level best friends. They have been there for each other through every single event of their lives, and (because Sveta is bi in MY canon) they’re the only people who really understand the specific suffocation of the Russian closet.

ALSO also!! I would love to specifically see more of the dynamic between Shane and Svetlana, and Ilya and Rose. I’ve seen some excellent analysis of the parallels between these pairs but I so rarely see them really fleshed out in fic!

I’m imagining social media chaos as fans and shippers try to figure out who’s dating who, and chaotic group chats. Also Hollanov and Roselana acting as each others beards, anything like that.

this is a collection of some of the most mind bogglingly incredible heated rivalry fics- all of which are diabolically underrated and legitimately make me froth at the mouth and weak at the knees when I think about them. Please give them a look and give their authors some love and appreciation!

(also, if you have any other incredible HR wips (3000 kudos or less) please link them in the comments! I’m always looking for more! 🙏)

Those are the rules?” Hayden asked. “Don’t go through your texts or photos, keep up with your workouts and diet, and listen to everything Yuna says, without question.” Shane seemed to be thinking about it, pausing a second. All of a sudden, he looked up at Hayden, again with that intense anxiety face. “And most importantly, do not talk to Ilya Rozanov. Ever. No matter what.” Shane said, “Avoid him. Don’t even look at him. OK?” Hayden nodded, and resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Like he even needed to be told that. Besides, Shane had been avoiding Ilya Rozanov for his entire career. How hard could it be? OR a well-meaning witch bodyswaps Shane and Hayden (to teach them about the power of friendship) the day before the 2017 All Stars Game.

He hardly got into fights. If there was an all-out brawl, he would join in to protect his guys, but he wasn’t an instigator, except for the one time he truly tried to fight Scott Hunter. And it was Scott Hunter for godsake. He gave media trained answers and hardly argued with refs. His social media was clean cut with no controversial posts. But that didn’t mean that Shane didn’t get angry. Wouldn’t defend the people he loved. He knew how to chirp back. He played hockey his whole life and knew how to throw a punch. Maybe he wouldn’t try it against an enforcer or anything, but he could hold his own if he wanted. It’s also not like his husband didn’t spend multiple hours after they got outed making sure that Shane could handle all the extra attention they were about to receive on the ice. Five times Shane Hollander defended the people he loves, plus one time they defended him.

He tilts his head to her, a facsimile of a nod. Rose nods back—what else is she supposed to do in this situation? “Ilya Rozanov.” Rozanov’s lips twitch. “Ah, you know me, yes?” “Hard not to,” Rose responds. “Your reputation precedes you. And you seem to know me.” “Hard to miss the billboards. You look very…blue and naked in them.” Rose Landry meets Ilya Rozanov for the first time outside Bell Centre after a Montreal-Boston game while trying to surprise Shane.

Summary: Later, he’ll blame it all on a momentary lapse of judgement. He’ll blame it on the loneliness maybe—on the fact that, despite never having been physically closer to Shane this consistently in his entire life—that despite regularly getting dinner with Shane’s parents—that despite finally having found what he’d spend his entire life searching for he’s also, somehow, never felt more alone. He’ll blame it on Cliff not texting him back since he’d signed with Ottawa. He’ll blame it on Sveta, face pulled into a perpetual frown during every facetime call. Or maybe he’ll blame it on Anya—sweet, beautiful Anya—who’d been just a little too cute not to share. or: Ilya accidentally rehabilitates his image one puppy tiktok at a time
