unreasonably amused by the idea of itty bitty shane not wanting to get off the ice after practice to the point that david gets ON the ice to get him, so itty bitty does the "my bones are gone now" resistance move kids are so good at.
but fails to consider that ice is. so slippery.
like stage your protest all you want, buddy, but you have literally never been more move-able.
Read the post and loved it exactly for the potential of what's in the tags: uh oh now David made it funnnn and Shane, quick little bean that he is, riiiight as he's getting to the edge of the rink, about to be picked up and passed to mom, gets up and skates away to the middle of the rink and PLOMP lays down on his back, giggling and kicking his little skates. "Again, Dad (Shane does not call David daddy in front of his friends, he's not a baby!), again!!"
It doesn't help David and Yuna that everyone and their mother thinks this is the funniest, cutest thing ever and laughs, just spurring Shane to do it more and more.
coupled with the idea of shane's conversation with rose when he talks about how hockey got less fun because it got more intense and so so did he: the idea of ilya dramatically flopping on his back on the ice one day at camp when they're done running drills with the kids
and he is teasingly refusing to get up because he is dead now, hollander, can you not see this, and shane hesitates for just a second, grabs his hand, plants one of his skates, and just sends him sliding off towards the side of the rink, thinking about how his dad used to do it to him after every single practice
and ilya laughs and shane laughs and for this moment at least, being on the ice is nothing but Fun again
shane as a teenager who still refuses to leave the ice after practice, but it's not for fun anymore. it's because he feels like he didn't do well today and needs to practice more, get faster, get better, get-dad, get OFF the ice. you're in the WAY.
just so frustrated with himself and mad because he's BETTER THAN THIS he KNOWS he's better than this. and david tries to get an arm around his shoulders and shane just defaults to. sitting down. go home if you want, he'll just-
the idea of david starting to gently swing protesting teenaged shane around by a shoulder pad until he can't help but smile at least because GOD dad you're SO weird, but rn it's just him and his dad on the ice together, and the spotlights feel a little less blinding
AAAA there's an adorable clip floating somewhere of Brad Marchand and his daughter on the ice and this child just completely drops and starfishes on the ice, and that dad knows what to do! He uses his hockey stick to push her leg until she's spinning like a little ninja star on the ice, only for the other child to plop down and demand the same. He had two little kids spinning like turntables and giggling like drains I love it
Extension on that of yuna or David with little toddler Shane. And how one day kids get carried for the last time or whatever, but he officially outgrew ninja star time, he just got too long and lanky and yuna had a moment about that.
David relives his glory days spinning the under fives at camp and becomes the favorite of three coach Hollander-Rozanovs. Ilya adopts it as a game for teammates kids in his quest to be superior uncle
GOD i know yuna BAWLED the day jackie tagged shane in a post on instagram of him doing turntable time with the pike kids when they came to the arena one night during a family event

can i just say, going by how Rose and Shane were both before they broke up and maybe even more after when she was asking him about jerking off at his parents' house...i have a feeling that Rose is still extremely like intimate with Shane whenever they interact?? idk if i can explain it well but like, asking him super personal stuff that he always answers, and then when they do get together there is a lot of touching and stuff. and Shane initiates it too, it's not just like one sided on her part. i think Shane genuinely likes and gets along with her and i think this drives Ilya absolutely INSANE even tho he has Svet. cause like Shane hasn't known Rose their whole lives and Ilya never seriously dated her, it's not the same thing. and like he doesn't HATE Rose but sometimes he hates how easily Shane tells her stuff, or how she will drape herself over Shane and hold his hand etc, like it genuinely makes his eye twitch sometimes but he feels like he can't say anything bc again, Svetlana exists and Ilya still hands out with her so...
i feel like the difference is that ilya is definitely not talking to svetlana about his and shane's sex life because 1) ilya thinks their sex is Sacred to a degree that's embarrassing 2) he's experienced enough that there's not a lot svetlana is going to be able to offer or add 3) that's hisshane and nobody else should be thinking about him.
and then shane is out here being like rooooose does that throat numbing spray stuff actually work. roooooose is it weird if i want him to pee on me. roooooose should i be worried if sometimes after coming he starts crying. rooooooose do you know how to fix anti-depressant related erectile dysfunction. rooooooooose have you ever tried shibari. like rose is simply too in the loop. rose is the yuna for questions that shane cannot ask yuna. and ilya is like "ROSE LANDRY does NOT need to know about my TICKLISH EAR!!" and shane is like š„ŗ "but she's my friend...."

the first time shane & ilya spend ilyaās birthday together i think the vibe really is āsaying all of my dogās favorite words in the same sentenceā because shane wants to make sure its ilyaās best birthday ever & doesnāt know how to do anything by half . shanevoice ilya pay attention i have a plan (nooo hollanderrrrr i want to fuck you NOW is my birthday :((((( how could u be so cruel to me) ok weāre taking the ferrari to mcdonaldās for mcgriddles (ilya visibly perking up) you are allowed to go 125 km/h but only if the coast is clear (imaginary tail beginning to wag) & you have to slow down if you want road head . when we get home we are taking a pot gummy & going swimming & i am grilling for lunch (ilya, his eyes huge, in the apron i bought for you?) yes ilya in the meat daddy apron . then shower, nap, one beer, dinner at my parentsā house, home by 6, and then iāll give you your birthday present š does that sound good ? ilya, crying, shane this is my best birthday ever (shanevoice ilya itās 9 am we havenāt even done any of it yet) MY BEST BIRTHDAY EVER WITH MY BOYFRIEND WHO I LOVE . & after they fuck (because obviously that was the first thing on the agenda shane just likes when ilya whines & begs for it & ilya does too) shane is back-to-business rustling around the bedroom putting their clothes out & talking about nothing while ilya watches from the bed w the big dopey smile of a man enamored with the bus that just ran him over

Chapter preview:
Dylan had begged off of awards for the past few years, preferring to spend time with his family. The dynamic, obviously, had changed. Plus, the awards were in Orlando, and the boys wanted to go to Disney. They would fly in with their nanny Monday.
He stayed for most of the after party, catching up with other vets he'd lost touch with. Hunter and Archer were both in attendance, and they'd made loose plans to meet in Archer's penthouse tomorrow when they weren't so tired. Then Dylan went the fuck to bed.
Loud knocking woke him. The alarm clock on the nightstand read nearly two in the morning. Jesus. The knock came again.
Outside his door, Ilya Rozanov looked harried, dressed for a club, twitchy and maybe drunk. "Sorry," he said. "I didn't know who else ā it's Micky."
In Roz's room down the hall, Micky was on the floor. Conscious, thank god, but curled on his side and shivering. The crotch of his pants was soaked.
"Fuck." Dylan hurried to kneel by his head. "What did he take?"
Looking like a kid in trouble with the teacher, Roz rubbed the back of his neck and said, "I thought it was just coke."

AU where Ilya has so much political trouble after losing the 2014 Olympics that he and Svetlana decide to have a greencard marriage to protect him from being forced to return to Russia. Its during the 6 months ghosting so Shane assumes that this is a real marriage and that's the reason why Ilya cut him off. Then Las Vegas happens almost exactly like canon. Ilya says something vague and cold and thinks he's communicated that its not a real marriage. Shane takes this as Ilya asking him to be the other woman. They don't talk about this again but now Ilya is sleeping exclusively with Shane and Svetlana, and leaning more exclusively towards Shane each year. Shane thinks that each time they meet up Ilya is cheating on his wife.
Shane is just miserable because he thinks of himself as a nice guy, but Ilya texts him and he's there. At some point he overhears someone at like the 2015/16 end of season mhl awards party talking to a Boston player and finds out that as far as Boston knows Ilya is completely loyal to his wife which means that Ilya only cheats on her with Shane. The way that makes Shane feel so powerful and smug (he's the only one who makes ilya want enough to break his vows, ilya is getting something from him that he can't get anywhere else) and so sick and dirty (if its only him that he's the one who is doing this to Ilya's marriage). He's watching Ilya across the room making his rounds with Svetlana, one of the most beautiful women in the room, and he has already sent Ilya his room number. He knows that Ilya is here with his wife and he's still gonna end the night in Shane's bed.
@shaneslabyrinth yesss tuna meltdown ks worse cause that's his marital bed.
Like show canon for this where they've been meeting at Shane's apartment and hotel rooms. Shane knows its because of his wife. But then ilya invites him to his house and fucks him in his marital bed (its not Svetlana has her own room) and then asks him to stay. Shane's like what about Svetlana and ilya is like she's on business trip
And the conversation goes somewhat similarly, ilya is trying to sniff out if Shane's a bisexual and if he could take this thing seriously by talking about how casual it is with Svetlana. Then the phone call/frotting/freak out sequence. But its Shane realizing he's so into Ilya and Ilya is into him and Shane Will never ever get ilya because he's married and this needs to stop, he needs to stop letting Ilya cheat with him. He needs to stop being so dirty and needy and pathetic that he's willing to beg for scraps from a married man. Even after the Rose break up. Shane is determined not to go back to Ilya because he can't let them keep doing this horrible thing that has been going on behind Svetlanas back. He can't let ilya keep blowing up his life, not when Shane really cares about him like this.
Oooooooooh he runs into Svetlana in the hallway!!! After fucking her husband, after holding her husband while he cried, after telling her husband he liked him and wanted them to be together. He cannot look her in the eye and meanwhile Svetlana is like I'm gonna befriend this weird little hockey freak that my best friend is so into.
Ohhhhhh the fact that Svetlana is always Actually So Nice when Shane meets her makes it so much harder because he canāt even hate her. When he thinks about her too hard he wants to hate her and sometimes he even does hate her but then heāll inevitably have to talk to her at some event (because she seeks him out in order to befriend him) and sheās kind and funny and so easy to talk to because she talks hockey the same way he does and she speaks a bit like Ilya because of the way people who spend a lot of time together become alike which makes her easy for Shane to read. So itās easy and fun until he remembers that sheās the only other person Ilya touches and HEāS the one Ilya isnāt supposed to touch.
Put in a pin in them miscommunicating into becoming boyfriends because I do want to talk about that but.
Post Tampa, they don't go to the cottage (cause shane does not invite Ilya cause how would he explain that to his wife, the answer would obviously be no) but he does go to New York for some ad thing and he and Ilya agree to meet up for dinner. Shane shows up and Svetlana is there (she wants to meet Shane as the best friend and while Ilya thinks Shane knows about the marriage he's not unaware that Shane is weird about the marriage and correctly guesses that Shane would not agree to dinner if he knew Svetlana was there). You're right that Shane does actually really enjoy talking hockey with her, she's on his wavelength the same way that Ilya is and the whole time Shane's thinking 'well no wonder he chose her, no wonder he married her, they're such a great match'. The vibes are weird but Ilya and Svetlana are charismatic enough that they don't stay that way all the way up until they get up to go and ilya places his hand on the small of Shane's back and is clearly assuming theyre going to leave to go to the hotel together as planned and Shane is like 'bro your wife.is.right.there.š«Ŗ'
Exactlyyyyyyy. Shane gets briefly scared that theyāre trying to have a threesome with him because Svetlana IS sort of baseline flirtatious in a similar way to Ilya but he hadnāt thought she was aiming that at him (she wasnāt) but what if he read it wrong. He often reads things wrong. Heās already told Ilya heās gay why would they be doing this. Meanwhile Svetlana goes āokay bye boys I am meeting a customer for a drink now have funā and kissing Ilya goodbye (cheek kisses or extremely light peck; the two of the consider this to be essentially platonic because of the way that they are with each other; Shane does Not consider it platonic). Shane has heart palpitations for the rest of the night even while he and Ilya are fucking because as far as heās concerned they have Never Been Closer To Getting Caught and Ilya is going Yay My Boyfriend And My Wife Are Getting Along :)
Crucially about this AU also, on the topic of how Shane wouldnāt invite Ilya to the cottage: Ilya also wouldnāt have been trying to break up when they were supposed to meet when Shane gets hurt because he considers the entire situation of their relationship to be safer in light of Svetlana and his visa. So if Shane HAD asked Ilya wouldāve said yes on the first go. But he doesnāt, because how could he? How could he when Ilya always goes back to Russia with his wife in the summer? But Ilya has no reason to go back so he maybe actually is the one to suggest they meet up during the summer (not for a whole two weeks, he would be nervous to suggest such a long time, but a weekend maybe) and Shane agrees of course because if Ilyaās figured out an excuse for Svetlana itās probably okay. When theyāre together Ilya mentions that Svetlana actually IS in Russia over the summer seeing her family and Shane has many many mixed feelings about it (heās here with me and not with her, I couldāve invited him to the cottage and she wouldnāt have known, why didnāt she stay with him anyway, why didnāt he go with her, how could she give up the only free time he has with him, heās choosing to be here with me instead of in his home country with his wife and family, oh god why is he choosing me he canāt do that). This is how they get their first glimpse at what domesticity would be like however because Ilya has like rented an Airbnb or something and they barely leave the apartment all weekend. Itās their first sleepover. Shane is so jealous that Svetlana gets this with him everyday that he could cry.
Like it takes one night of making dinner, having romantic kinky sex, and then falling asleep and waking up with Ilya before shane is jealous enough of Svetlana that he wants to blow up their marriage. She clearly doesn't care for him the way that Shane cares for him. Cause you're right hes thinking ilya has so little time during the season, why would she not insist on spending the entire off season together. If Ilya was his to keep they would spend the entire off season together, training and vacationing and at Shane's cottage, with Shane's family. They get to the end of the weekend and Ilya is casually asking Shane to come to Boston for the next week and Shane is thinking it serves Svetlana right, if she's going to let Ilya be lonely then what does she care if Shane takes her place in Ilyaās bed.
But then Svetlana comes home from Russia, halfway through the week. Shane is attempting to dive behind the couch and hide and Ilya is like wtf are you doing? She knows you're here. This is where it all comes out, the marriage is a greencard marriage, Svetlana has been aware of Shane this entire time and Ilya had thought that Shane hae been aware of this the entire time. Also the past year Ilya has only slept with Shane and had somehow been under the impression post Tampa that they were dating seriously. (His feelings are a little hurt that Shane was unaware of this until Shane blurts out holy shit I'm in love with you).
one year when boston is deep in a cup run but montreal was struggling with injuries and got knocked out first round or something i think shane should go to the iihf world championship wearing ilya's old neckguard
Boston wins their series with Toronto in five, and then they're sitting pretty waiting for the other side of the bracket. The Metros come back from a 2-game deficit to drag it out to seven, but Florida plays physical and the Metros' defense is already spread thin from injury; Shane puts up three points in the elimination game and it's not enough. 4-3 in overtime, and the Metros are out in round one.
"Sorry," Ilya says later, when they call. "It was close."
"Yeah," Shane says. There's not much to say. "Not our year." No more words, just short harsh breaths on the line, and then: "Fuck."
If Ilya were there he would put his teeth to the tender crook of Shane's throat, press Shane down into the bed and take him apart slow. But he's in Boston and Shane's in a nondescript hotel in Miami, so instead he says, "Get in the bathroom."
"What?"
"You need a shave, yes?" Shane's beard is still patchy this early in the playoffs. Ilya's felt it scrape along the inside of his thighs, leave the skin prickling and warm. "Go do it. I will watch."
Shane's jaw works. The camera doesn't capture the flint of his eyes, the line that must be creased between his brows. It doesn't matter. Ilya knows the ways Shane will bend. He stares at the screen, hungry, and a thousand miles away Shane gets off the bed.
The view dips, goes dark, then too bright. A clatter; an angle of a bathroom counter. Shane comes back into view, a razor in hand. Hesitates. "Should I--"
"Mm."
The water runs. First the soap, and then the clean stroke of the razor. Shane's hands are steady as he works. He'd had a goal second period: a slick dangle through the D-pair, then a wrister into the top corner. The Raiders in his living room had exploded in appreciative shouts. Ilya had watched, and wanted, his mouth gone wet.
"I should do this for you," Ilya murmurs.
"Yeah?"
"You would like it, I think." He imagines being there, taking Shane's jaw in his hand. "You'd have to be very good." Ilya would be so careful with him. All that tender skin, smooth and pink. Shane's shallow breathing; his glassy eyes.
Shane lowers the razor. There's water dripping onto the counter. "Ilya."
"Touch yourself." He waits for Shane to put the razor down, a quiet click. "No, other hand."
It'll be harder for Shane, and that's what Ilya wants. It takes a second before his hand disappears under the counter. Ilya watches Shane's eyes, the teeth sinking into his lip. The hiss of his exhale, just audible over the call.
"I want to hear you," Ilya says, and finally gets a hand on his own dick. A long lazy stroke, groaning with it. Shane's breath hitches at the sound; his forearm jerks, convulsive. "Make some noise for me, okay?"
Shane does. God, he does.
***
T-1 to puck drop there's a ping on Ilya's phone: Raymonds pulled out of Team Canada. For a moment Ilya just blinks at the text, no context for it, before he remembers the fucking World Championship. Conflicts with the playoffs every year. Shane would have declined the invitation before.
You have not had enough hockey?, Ilya sends, but he knows the answer to that. He looks up where Worlds are this year, mentally marks the time difference between Boston and Bratislava. Then he tucks his phone away and gets ready to destroy Florida.
The Raiders are playing hungry this year. Ilya tries not to dwell on it, but the thought lives in him, bright and sharp-edged. One last time before he leaves. He's been here eight years, called this place home, bled and cried with these men. It's the only way he knows how to say thank you.
***
The first game is a shutout for Boston. Ilya stretches into bed with a satisfying ache all through his muscles. Shane picks up on the second ring. "Hey," he says. "You looked good out there."
"I always look good," Ilya says, preening. "When are you flying out?"
"A few days. I've been trying to pack, but I can't find my neck guard."
"You have one?" Shane doesn't normally wear one. Ilya's thoughts snag on the image of something dark around Shane's throat.
"From the juniors." Shane sounds a little sheepish. "It's comfortable, you know? I might've left it at my parents' place, I'll go over tomorrow."
The words come out without thought. "Wear mine."
Somewhere deep in his closet Ilya has one, too: a strip of fabric and plastic, worn, faded. At some point Ilya had put his name on it, the inside edge where it would lie against the hollow of his throat. Silver against the black: ŠŠ»ŃŃ Š Š¾Š·Š°Š½Š¾Š².
Shane opens his mouth. Closes it. "I can't come to Boston," he says, which is not a no. His eyes are wide on the screen, and Ilya's teeth ache.
"I will send it to you." There's same-day delivery to Canada. The logistics aren't the problem.
"What if--" Shane swallows. "What if it's not comfortable?"
This is how Ilya knows he's won. He can be magnanimous in victory. "If you try and don't like it," he says. "Then fine, don't wear it. You can choose."
Shane's breathing hard; they both know what he'll choose. "Okay," he says. Touches his tongue to his teeth. "Okay."
***
Boston wins the next game at home, then lose one away. A grinding, dirty game, chippy from the start and stretching into 2OT. It's a lucky bounce that wins it for Florida, the kind that sticks in your teeth, and Ilya doesn't get back to the hotel until midnight.
He's exhausted when he crawls into bed. He means to go to sleep, but midnight in Florida is seven where Shane is, which means Canada is playing Norway in ten hours. Have fun, Ilya texts, absently taps open Twitter, and abruptly comes face to face with Shane.
There's a mic in his face. His hair is a sweaty fringe, probably just out from practice. Someone's asking him a question, who the fuck cares, and all Ilya sees is the dark layer of the neck guard under the collar of Shane's jersey.
Fuck. He goes hard in an instant, shocked wide awake. The way it shifts when Shane tilts his head. The bob of his throat. The interview ends, and Ilya hits replay, shoves a hand into his briefs. It's embarassingly fast: the orgasm hits like a train, hard and blinding, before the video finishes playing a second time.
He's still panting when Shane texts back. Next time, and then: Good night :) Love you.
An ocean away Shane is waking up. He'll put on his pads, his skates, his Team Canada jersey. He'll play the same beautiful hockey he's been playing since he was old enough to stand up, and it will be Ilya's name on his neck, pressing against skin. Keeping him safe.
This year, Ilya is going to win the Cup. He's going to win with the C on his chest, Raiders screaming in his ear, and that will be what he remembers when he asks for the trade. He'll walk away, even though it'll kill him, because the other side of this is Shane. Shane, and the slow yielding in him that has him thrusting his own head into a collar.
After the game, Ilya sends, call me. Shane, lit up with victory, is a beautiful thing. Ilya could spend a lifetime devouring him. Keep the neck guard on.

The night has barely begun and already Ilya wants toāwell, not go home, because his big empty house is just as exhausting to be in right now as this club; but he doesn't want to be here. Yes, there are dozens of beautiful women. Yes, there is alcohol. Yes, Boston won earlier, beating New Jersey easily, 4-1.
There's a thick wall of glass, separating Ilya from all of it, muffling everything. Everything feels heavy, and shit, and Ilya is sick of himself.
Restless, he swipes his messages open again, thumb tapping on Jane automatically, even though there's no new notifications. He wishes there was, even though that's stupid. But Hollander is fun to talk to, fun to tease, and Ilya wantsāthat. Wants to feel lighter again.
He drains the rest of his vodkaānot particularly good, ŠŗŠ¾Š½ŠµŃŠ½Š¾āand pushes off the bar, shouldering his way through the crowd of tipsy, sweaty bodies.
The crisp air outside hits him like a welcome slap to the face, bracing, invigorating. There are other people out here, of course, smoking and laughing loud, but it's still quieter than inside the club. Ilya thinks about bumming a cigaretteāhe hasn't got any on him tonight, trying to be good, like an idiotābut he doesn't want to talk to anyone.
He walks a little further away, instead, and unlocks his phone again. The same week-old messages stare back at him, before he taps Jane again.
His thumb hovers over the little phone icon.
They don't do this. Ilya knows that. Knows Hollander will probably be weird about it, too.
He presses call.
The sound of the dial tone makes his stomach clench. He's holding his breath. Maybe Hollander won't even pick up. Maybe he'll see a missed call later, andā
"Hello?"
Ilya leans back against the building, closing his eyes. Something fills up his throat, briefly, and he has to swallow down.
"Hello?" Hollander says again, sounding tenser, like maybe he thinks this is a prank.
"Hi," Ilya says, and has no idea how to continue. They don't do this.
"What are youāis something wrong? Did somethingāfuck. Did something leak?"
Ilya knows it's a bit fucked up, but he can't help smiling at the sharpening edge of panic in Hollander's voice. He knows it wouldn't make sense, if he had to say this out loud to any other person on earth, but Hollander's predictability is oddly comforting. Relaxing. Ilya knows how to handle it.
"No, no, sorry," Ilya says, body loosening, warming up. "It wasāuh, how you say. Pocket dial."
"Oh," Hollander says, voice looser and warmer, too, in Ilya's ear. It makes his scalp crawl pleasantly. "Okay. Um. Well, I canālet you go. I guess."
"Is okay. You are saving me from boring celebrations." Ilya pushes off the wall, starts walking back towards the hotel. Maybe, just maybe, he can keep Hollander on the phone long enough to jerk off together. "Gets old fast, when you are the best. I know you don't know this, as second best."
Hollander scoffs. "Fuck you."
"Mm. In three weeks, yes?" He thinks he hears Shane's breath catch a little.
"Yeah. Three weeks." There's a pause. Ilya wonders what Shane is doing, if he's in the kitchen, or curled up on his sofa, or in bed. Probably reading a boring hockey book or watching boring hockey tapes. Just the thought of it makes fondness surge up inside him. "You won't have to worry about celebrating then, when we beat your ass."
Ilya laughs, stride lengthening now the hotel is in view. "Shane Hollander, my hero."
"Mm. I'm very selfless, you know."
"Oh I know so. Very generous. Always so good for me."
Now the catch in Shane's breath is obvious. "Fuck. Shut up."
"Mmmm, no." Ilya's getting hard in his jeans. He walks past the reception, to the elevators. The doors ding as they close.
"What are you doing? Where are you?"
Ilya presses the button for his floor, impatient now, buzzing. "Back at hotel. I have whole room to myself." He lets that speak for itself, and grins at the sound of Shane's breath growing heavier in his ear. "And I will be so terribly lonely and bored, Hollander⦠and my cock is so hardā¦"
