Ilya and Shane are not driving to games together. Ilya has bad bunny blasting and a Carmel macchiato in one hand. Shane is driving with his fifteen minute mindfulness meditation on and an agave sweetened electrolytes drink in the cup holder to be sipped only at stoplights.
They tried Shane’s way once together and Ilya fell asleep in the passenger’s seat still holding his macchiato (Shane had the car professionally cleaned during the game for fear that the seat would be permanently ruined if it waited until the next day). They tried Ilya’s way once and Shane had to pee all through warmups and nearly had a panic attack during the first period. It was deemed a necessity for their job security that they continue to drive separately and offset by 10 minutes so they don’t see each other on the road. (Ilya takes Anya out one more time after Shane leaves and then speeds the whole way there, so they only arrive five minutes apart.) When they are on the road, Shane gets the hotel room after their nap and Ilya hangs with Troy. (Troy doesn’t actually have a routine, he just goes with Ilya’s because it drowns out his other thoughts (that’s why Ilya goes with Ilya’s too))
Shane and Ilya´s 6 year old daughter has to make a family tree for her class. llya is feeling down about not having pictures of his mother for her to put in, and then he sees she draws her with a halo over her head 😇 and she writes "grandma Irina, no photo but she looks like me, I have her eyes and her name, she looks after me." Ilya cries.
(She then also prints a dinosaur and adds it to the tree, like on the top of the tree)
Shane: who is this, baby?
Baby Irina: Uncle Scott :) *Ilya loses it*
I think we are focusing on the wrong thing when talking about mainstream romantasy adult books, instead of shaming straight cis women for reading kinky books, we should tralk about how most of the newer books aimed at that demographic are just conservative propoganda, rebranding patriarchy as a kink.
There's nothing inherently wrong about liking the types of kinks that are present, control, power imbalance, dark themes, but when you really look at the top performing novels (which they are mass prodicing at questionable speeds) it's hard to ignore the ever present morally grey man, who's posessive over the heroine who starts off as otherworldly different from the 'regular woman' aka damsel in distress), is cruel to everyone except her, and the fantasy world revolves around the control of women, especially when it comes to forced pregnancy.
Cannot stress this enough. read broadly, read backlist titles from your library specifically. Libraries are major purchasers and therefore have unusually high influence on what becomes bestselling. read what you want to see rise up in the world.
personal reading taste isn't what OP is talking about. they are talking about what the publishing industry is buying, marketing and selling and how that feeds into hegemonic ideas of "romance", patriarchy and anti-choice propaganda. publishers are businesses and they are not immune to pushing propaganda

Post marriage, Ilya and Shane’s fans think that now Ilya will be PR trained by Yuna and expect him to give some normal answers in post game interviews. There are multiple jokes online about how Ilya is finally “leashed” or “domesticated”.
But then after the first game of the Ottawa Centaurs, Ilya says something outrageous about the captain of the opponent team, and Shane snorts off screen. The camera moves to his face and it catches the barest of Shane’s smile before he schools his expression. That night, hockey twitter explodes because not only Shane (and Yuna) aren’t “controlling” Ilya, Shane even laughs at Ilya’s comment on camera. The PR trained Golden Boy of Hockey broke his composure because his husband chirped at another player on screen. The power of love or whatever they say.
everybody say thank you, fanfiction
It’s April Fools Day and Ilya goes down on Shane completely unaware of the date until he’s smacked in the face with it because Shane has stuck two googly eyes above his dick.
There’s a good thirty seconds of shocked silence and then so much laughter Shane goes completely soft and they just giggle and roll around together like kids
You just know that baby Shane was the grumpiest, most serious, chubbiest little thing.
All the photos they have of him with different family members picture him frowning with a little pout. He only ever smiled when he was in David or Yuna’s arms despite other people trying to make him laugh.
Ilya absolutely adores looking at these photos and cannot get over how cute Shane was. His favourite photo of baby Shane was from Shane’s first Halloween where he was dressed up as a little cat. The first time Ilya saw it he was like “omg Shanya you were actually an angry kitten!! This is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen. Look at your little pout!”. And ever since he’s been trying to get Shane to dress up as a cat again for Halloween to recreate the photo.
idk guys i dated in russia once and i think that, while ilya wouldnt be into the whole bio-essentialism of it, he would still rlly enjoy being chivalrous. but since #myshane is NAWT interested in having the moves pulled on him (ilya is his baby tyvm mr. business man will be pampering him) he turns it all on yuna.
they’re out to lunch? no mama hollander doesn’t pay when i’m around. she’s trying to leave? no, no, don’t you dare touch that handle yuna. they’re going shopping? mama i trained for this moment, you think it was for stanley cup? wrong, is for bag carrying. yuna is having the boys over for dinner? no no there must be another space on the mantle for this bouquet, we will make space mama.
i think ilya loves to spoil the mama he has, in memory of the mama he doesn’t. and because #myilya just really loves women.
i also think david makes a joke exactly once about ilya trying to steal yuna and yuna shut it down so fast and harshly that ilya a genuinely worried he had caused a rift in their marriage. (it’s because yuna knows. she knows and she loves her son and she cries on david about it later).

ANYWAY!! shane and ilya have kids via surrogate. ilya sort of makes an argument for not using his sperm on account of his depression and genetics and shane is like hey, shut the fuck up? end of conversation. also shane imagined a toddler with ilya’s unruly mop of curls one single time and now he will crash out if he doesn’t at least get a shot at making that dream come true. they do the nph/david burtka thing and each fertilize one donor egg and it’s a long shot that they’ll both take but they’re trying it anyway and they also manage to turn it into a sort of competition because they are freaks like that. both eggs take, obviously, thru the power of true love and the universe’s own unwillingness to pick a winner between the two of them. ilya full on fucking cries one summer when the kids are 3 and they’re getting them ready for bed after a long day outside at the cottage and he notices the tiniest smattering of freckles across the bridge of his toddler’s nose. shane of course gets his curly haired baby because he is the #1 I Get Everything I Want Through the Power of Visualization motherfucker this world has ever seen.
They move in together full time and Ilya notices that Anya acts differently with Shane than she does with him, more quiet and less playful, and he worries that means she doesn’t like Shane or is jealous, so he hires a dog trainer to come over and see if there’s anything they need to do to help
After a while of talking about how Anya acts the trainer says there’s nothing to worry about, Anya likes Shane just fine, it’s just that she sees him as the boss and is acting accordingly
And Ilya is like. But. I’m the one who adopted her? And raised her before Shane got here?? And the trainer is just like yeah well she sees you more like an equal. And Ilya is like WAIT she thinks Shane is in charge of both of us?? And the trainer is just like well do you interact in a way that would make her think that?
Ilya’s life flashes before his eyes as he thinks of all the times Shane has come over with a snack for Ilya and a treat for Anya, or all the times Shane has announced they’re all going for an after dinner walk, or pets Ilya’s hair and tells him he did a good job at practice, or the fact that he uses the same warning tone with Anya when she misbehaves as he does with Ilya when he’s causing problems on purpose
Shane comes home to Ilya with his face in his hands going oh god I’m not Anya’s dad I’m her brother and she thinks we’re both your pets. And Shane just goes. What.
Being rich does not stop Ilya from being Shane's sugarbaby. That man is texting Shane like Heeyyyy I want this [insert bullshit item of the day] so bad pls can u get for me? I will make it worth it for u 😏 and Shane is like Ilya you're rich you can buy it yourself?? And Ilya is like noooo you buy it for me. As a gift 😜
Shane is kind of exasperated but also delighted because he lovesssss taking care of his baby boy so of course he buys Ilya whatever he wants. Ilya is so proud to be thee Shane Hollander's sexy controversially young (by one month) boyfriend and he brags about it constantlyyy after they're married. Like Oh yes I was just sexy sidepiece but he fell in love with me so hard he married me. And Shane is standing next to him like 🙄 as if he didn't just buy Ilya $2000 worth of fancy appetizers and drinks on their date last night.
They have wild kinky sex about it too. Obviously.
Yuna as the momager is very selective about what brand deals Shane takes, which initially carrier over when she starts managing Ilya. She mentions off handedly once that she was annoyed that low brow brands would even reach out to her and Ilya, genuinely curious, asks who has asked about him that she turned down. “Well, quite a few I’d never even heard of, but some that were unappealing for a professional athlete like Sunny D.” “SUNNY D??? YOU SAID NO?? HOW LONG AGO? CAN WE SAY SORRY YES I WANT TO DO??”
This is how Yuna finds out that Ilya grew up drinking sunny d as a rare American treat in Russia and how Ilya starts screening all brand requests.
