and the fact that ilya kisses shane in front of david and yuna. ilya who has just met these people after being outed to them and after years of them believing he is both an asshole and their son's mortal enemy. and he already feels safe enough to kiss shane in front of them. we are good here.
(have been thinking of Ilya catching Shane watching porn for awhile now - so here's a little ficlet - no warnings (maybe mild humiliation) but let me know if you think something should be tagged!)
Sometime in that first Ottawa year and a flight delay made the coaching staff cancel the next day's practice, so Ilya decides he'll surprise Shane and drives out to Montreal where he lets himself into Shane's place.
(And he sometimes traces the cuts and bitings of that key, when he's anxious or lonely or has just lost another game. And he remembers how Shane handed it to him at the end of those first 2 weeks at the cottage, not quite willing to meet his eyes - "Next season, you can let yourself in, if I'm not back yet - I'll let you know if the back door code changes." And ever since then Ilya had always let himself in at Shane's home, even if he knew he was there just for the small thrill of knowing he was welcome.)
The place is quiet and Shane doesn't respond when he calls out to him, but Ilya notices a jacket slung over one of the stools at the kitchen island and sees Shane's keys on their hook by the door.
Shane usually only naps on game days, but he's coming off a long roadie and the thought of waking him up, just enough so he's not startled, and then settling behind him and wrapping him up in his arms, pressed up against his body, soft and warm.
But all thoughts of softness go out the window when he opens the door to Shane's bedroom.
Shane is sprawled back against his ridiculous pillow collection, legs spread wide, furiously thrusting half his hand into his hole while his other huge hand strips his cock.
Shane's entire focus is on his laptop and his noise-cancelling earphones explain his lack of response.
Ilya almost chokes on his tongue and an aborted jerk backward towards the door catches Shane's attention.
He gasps and goes dead still for a beat before he slams the laptop lid shut and flushes to his belly. His mouth hangs open and his left arm jerks as he seems to realize that he still has 3 fingers inside of himself.
Ilya pounces, kneeling between Shane's spread thighs and grabbing at Shane's wrist with one hand, holding it tight so Shane's fingers stay where they belong while knocking the headphones askew with the other, "Ah ah ah, was just getting good - what's got you so worked up Hollander?"
Shane's eyes flit back to the closed laptop before he meets Ilya's eyes, "Nothing! Fuck off!"
"Nothing, hmm?" He raises his eyebrows and Shane shoots him a mildly furious look that only has Ilya more determined to see what he was watching.
"Just watching my highlights again?"
"No, you asshole - let me go - mood's ruined now," Shane says, face scarlet.
"Is that what you want, hmm? I let you go, we go to couch - cuddle, watch game?" He sits back on his heels and holds his hands up in front of him, shrugging, "Okei, okei, can do."
Ilya notices that Shane's hand stays exactly where he left it, "You could fuck me?" Shane asks, lips gone into a flirtatious moue.
"Not sure I am in mood, you know, long drive - maybe if I had something to turn me on?" Ilya prods as if they both can't see the hard weight of his cock through his shorts.
"Fuck, fine! But you can't make fun of me," Shane says.
"Would I ever?" Ilya asks and Shane shoots him an unimpressed look.
Ilya climbs behind Shane, throwing pillows to the ground to make room and hooks his right ankle over Shane's right calf, pinning him open and pressing his dick into the small of Shane's back.
He puts the laptop back between Shane's thighs but before he can open it, Shane has ducked his chin down intently focusing on the bedspread, which won't do at all.
Ilya grabs his jaw and forces Shane to watch as he opens it before all attempts at seriousness fade into snorting at the title.
"I do not think straight bros in locker room actually play 'casual game of grab ass' Shane. Probably do not 'full throttle fuck' after too - sorry if this is disappointing."
Shane rams him in the shoulder with the back of his head, and the fucker went for his left shoulder that they both know took a hit the week before.
"I will get myself off in the shower if you don't start touching me, Rozanov," Shane hisses and Ilya lets his hand trail down from Shane's chin, scratching lightly at his neck before groping one of his perfect tits.
Ilya presses play with his other hand and they watch as 2 very muscular men in football gear start stripping off in a locker room.
One of the men, handsome with brown hair, slides his shorts down thick thighs revealing a jock before ostentatiously bending over, his hole winking at the camera.
"Is this what Metros locker room is like, Shane?" Ilya asks, tweaking one of Shane's nipples with one hand while lazily tracing patterns on the soft skin of Shane's inner thigh with the other.
"You show your pretty little hole off to anyone, mmm?"
Shane gasps and starts pumping his fingers again at a pace that can only be teasing as worked up as he was.
They watch as the other man stalks over, blonde and bearded, and snaps his towel against the other guy's ass before aggressively grabbing both cheeks and spreading the man wide, spitting at his hole.
"Would you have let me do that, do you think - in that locker room - could have had you so much sooner malysh."
"Noo, wouldn't have," Shane moans, bucking up against Ilya's hand where it plays right next to his dick.
"I think you would have, always such a slut for me." Ilya takes the hint and starts pumping Shane's dick in his warm, calloused palm, timing his strokes to match Shane's thrusting, moving his other hand down to gently cup Shane's balls where they're pressed tight up against Shane's body.
On the screen the blonde is furiously thrusting into the other actor and Ilya might make fun of the lack of finesse if he himself wasn't basically humping Shane's back at that point.
Shane tilts his head back to catch Ilya's eye, "Fuck me, please, please fuck me," he pants and Ilya slams the laptop shut, pushing it down the bed.
He grabs Shane's hand to stop him from fucking himself and pushes him forward until he's flat on his stomach, taking one of Shane's thighs and rucking it up until it's bent beneath Shane to make room.
The lube is still out and Ilya pushes his shorts down just enough to slick up his dick before covering Shane's body with own, taking himself into hand and pushing into Shane's warm body.
Biting and kissing at the nape of Shane's neck while he screws his hips in tight circles. Shane is so so tight like this, making hiccuping little moans as he's fucked.
Ilya holds himself up with one arm while he works the other beneath Shane and gives him his warm palm to rut against before he starts thrusting hard enough to rock Shane's body forward a little with every push.
"Fuck, fuck, Ilya - so good," Shane shouts, come spurts into Ilya hand and Shane collapses into the bed while Ilya fucks him through it.
Ilya pulls out when Shane starts whimpering, overstimulated, and smears Shane's come over his cock as he strips himself furiously coming all over Shane's ass and thighs before collapsing next to him in the bed.
Shane turns his head and his pupils are huge and his face red from rubbing against the sheets. His smile is huge and dopey, "Hi Ilya," he says.
"Hi, Shane," Ilya responds and they both laugh.
"Am surprised you could get off on that," Ilya says.
"What - why?"
"Mmm - we do not know even if they are good football players - what if they are awful - would make your dick soft," and Shane shoves him (in the non-injured shoulder this time).
"Dick."
"Yes - gave you my dick very nice."
"The beard kind of reminded me of your playoff beard - you shouldn't shave it so quickly next time," Shane said.
"Oh - and when am I going to the playoffs again?" Ilya asks.
"You know you'll be back there in a year or two - I know you will be," and Shane's eyes meet his straight on - completely sincere and utterly sure.
"Besides, I already found an ice rink we could rent out for the day in Ottawa - locker room and everything."
like of course ilya would own a racehorse. the most frivolous purchase you could ever make PLUS high-risk gambling behavior PLUS its a beautiful noble creature that he gets to love and take care of and brush her mane and feed her carrots and talk soothingly to her in russian whenever he visits the stables. like obviously. and he weeps like a baby whenever she wins

My Shane is an enabler. Heβs gonna roll his eyes and tell ilya to fuck himself, but he loves that shit. Heβs icing Ilya injuries after a fight barely hiding the fact that he found it funny. Heβs providing information for chirps. Heβs joining in on the fun cause he loves his husband. Idk man I just donβt think Shane, who fell in love with the NHLs biggest asshole is gonna be annoyed when heβs being an asshole.
Post-outing and post- honeymoon pre-season Hollanov step out and are photographed for the first time in Ottawa featuring Shaneβ white t-shirt pre-season muscles bulging gray sweatpants dick outline healthy yes he's wearing his reeboks Mom and Ilyaβ decked out in TIGht Adidas track pants with the snaps black tank top clinging to that waist with Anya on a bedazzled leashβ YES they're holding hands rings glinting in the golden hour YES they have their dog at this outside restaurant seating YES they're going to win this season YES Shane will have dessert and will give the first bite to his husband YES they're dropping a black card in the bill YES they're kissing each other's hands at the table and in a way it's kind of like Diana in her revenge dress except their best revenge is just living their best fucking life TOGETHER

And okay so shane tries to downplay how good it was for him so that he doesnβt really encourage ilya to want to do it again but he canβt stop thinking about itβ¦. So next year for Ilyaβs birthday he pulls up with an elegant box (ilya thinks ok he got me cufflinks or sth) and when he opens it there is a small plastic baggie with one (1) gram of cocaine.
Okay I can't let Ilya hog all the scandal limelight. Here are some things myshane gets cancelled for:
being featured in a Drake mv post-Kendrick beef
only donating $20,000 to a fundraiser for a Montreal-based kids' cancer hospice β the fundraiser unfortunately coincided with the release of the cottage tour video
laughing at a Wimbledon ball boy for getting hit in the face by a ball (it was objectively funny but he broke his nose)
not using pride tape
the summer after he leaves the metros, responding to a very homophobic tweet with a picture of him flipping off the camera with three championships rings stacked on his middle finger
not shaking a player's hand after a 4-game sweep in the playoffs. he'd played embarrassingly poorly and Shane was worried it might be something contagious and fuck him up for the conference finals
not knowing who Harriet Tubman was
getting stoned at a party at All Stars (he was completely sober, just dissociating like crazy)
okay so i've heard from a few people that they'd be down for a tlg read-along in march (so before s2 airs), meaning 10 chapters per week, possibly with discussion rounds scheduled twice a week. would anyone be interested in doing the same thing for role model, tough guy and/or common goal before that?

As much as I love fanon Marlow/Marleau, Ilya already has not one, but two friends like him in the Long Game: Bood and Wyatt.
Wyatt is already an ally (who also happens to have a lesbian sister) and Bood is the supporting alternate captain Ilya always deserved. In the book, when Shane and Ilya are outed, both Wyatt and Bood show unconditional support to Ilya.
@yearnalisms requested to bring this beautiful text post by @honeyybrii to gif form! all inspo credit to op of the text post! π this tag is especially a good sum up of the set:
