And they all get their happy end / In the end

YESSS TOTALLY AGREE and they are right for it 🙂‍↕️ they both get off on being It for each other… i can imagine ilya bringing up the other guy who fucked shane, making shane admit it wasn’t as good and that no one can fuck him like ilya can. conversely, shane is like you fucked so many but no one consumes you like i do 🫨

“this is how you fuck, shane,” ilya says, and shane can only whimper in return because he’s been on the very very edge for ages and ilya’s chest hair rubs ever so slightly against his oversensitive cock and his brain is filled with cum cum cum please can i cum but ilya hasn’t given him permission yet.

one of ilya’s hands leaves shane’s hip and lifts up to his flushed cheek, patting it lightly, with a hint of condescension.

“you wanted to try topping, yes?” and shane nods furiously, hot tears steaming down his face into ilya’s palm. “then you should learn how to do it properly.”

“ilya, please, i can’t—” shane whines when ilya’s other hand drifts to the moving tip of his cock, caressing it with the pad of his thumb every time it appears from between his pecs.

“ah no, no, shane, you cannot come,” ilya tuts, giving shane’s cheek a small slap. “how can you top me if you come so fast? you would not want me to come first?”

shane shakes his head, then nods, then shakes his head again, because he honest to god can’t figure out which one it’s supposed to be. “yes, yes, ilya, please, want to please you… want you to come so bad…”

he gets a text on a night out maybe at all stars with players he doesn't usually talk to, and obviously they know ilya and shane are married and shane stayed back at the hotel instead of joining them

"ahhhh, gotta get home to the old ball and chain soon, huh?"

"what even are you saying to me"

"old lady isn't blowing up your phone?"

"i am married to a man. there is no lady."

"but he's the girl in the relationship, isn't he?"

ilya and wyatt instantly clock him but everyone else is confused and asks luca which president/how did he even steal the laces/why would the president have themed hockey laces

bonus (at night, in bed):

troy: *shifts to face harris as if he forgot to tell him something important* hey did you know haas stole a president’s shoelaces once? but he ran out before we could get the details out of him

harris: don’t worry about it troy *yawns* i’m sure he was just too flustered to come up with anything else, now let’s go to sleep we have an early day tomorrow

note: userscripts are really easy to install and super helpful! you need a browser extension to run them — i recommend Violentmonkey as it's open-source, but Tampermonkey and Firemonkey work too. i'm using daylight could be so violent by Goldmonger as the example fic in the images.

AO3 Floating Comment Box by scriptmouse

THE USERSCRIPT EXTENSION EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

makes a floating comment box you can use to write comments while reading the fic AND allows you to insert selections of sentences/paragraphs from the fic!!! vital to my commenting practices. (detailed explanation post by @actual-changeling)

the original extension simply italicizes what you select, but i've modified the code so that it italicises + indents for reading clarity, which i'll detail in another post. example: (fic is Cacciatore by @theburialofstrawberries)

w4tchdoge's AO3 Bookmark Maker

adds work details to bookmark notes for archival purposes, helpful to know especially if a fic gets hidden or deleted

Set Default Posting Language by @quihi

sets a default posting language so you don't need to scroll through the dropdown menu to pick a language every time you post a fic

ao3 Skin Switcher by BlackBatCat

switch skins from any page via the header menu, instead of having to go to dashboard to do it

ao3 crossover saviour by tegan

i hate the huge multi-fandom wall-of-tags anthologies (excellent post about why it sucks by @osterby) so this is really good

hides works with too many fandoms on ao3, can unhide with a click

default is 2 fandoms but i've set mine to 7 as star wars fics tend to have multiple fandom tags

Advanced Blocker by BlackBatCat

(image from link)

allows whitelisting, blacklisting, and highlighting tags

blocks works by tags, authors, titles, summaries, wordcounts

i don't use this personally but wanted to mention it anyway because it seems very helpful. also this coder has a bunch of other great scripts!

I can't decide if Shane would be the Hiccup of this universe and Ilya the Astrid...

Or Ilya is the one who befriended a dragon in his youth and has been keeping that secret all this time.

He and Shane are rivals and Hayden reveals to Shane that he's found out what type of dragon they'll all be facing to complete their training. Shane's sense of airplay can't abide when he learns that Hayden doesn't intend to share the same information with Ilya, so he goes to find Ilya and tell him to keep the playing field even and he inadvertently discovers Ilya's secret.

Ilya and Shane grow closer as Shane also (reluctantly) becomes more and more persuaded by Ilya's beliefs. He learns that if Ilya is given leadership in their clan, he intends to pursue peace between humans and dragons (even if he has to fight their own people to do it.)

Or maybe Ilya and Shane are from rival clans whose warriors compete to become Dragon Riders and there are only as many spots as there are trained dragons at any given time.

AGAIN we r not considering the politics of it all which is why i need ppl to start talking abt ilya being born in a country that stopped existing 6 months later (ussr) wayyy more often. shane has grown up hearing abt canadas perfection & how it's so correct & better than the usa (despite the same skeletons in its closet). not to mention yuna's "play by the rules, beat them at their own game" mentality vs ilya being raised in the gang-heavy, crime-heavy, unstable post-soviet rebuild with a corrupt military father (even if protected by his father's wealth/position he was not blind to it) & a mother whose death went hush hush
