    Summary

    “Hello,” Ilya repeats, still kind of stuck on those freckles.

    “Hi?” the man says.

    “Hi,” Ilya says—again.

    Oh god, he's said hello three times now. He should literally say anything else. His name, probably. His phone number, preferably.

    “Hi,” Ilya says again, because he can’t help it. “I am—”

    “Are you Nick?” the man asks, and it comes out as a breathless sound.

    OR: Shane gets stood up on a blind date, and Ilya comes to the rescue, and proceeds to make a series of questionable decisions.

    Summary

    Shane waited with bated breath, mentally preparing himself for the incoming judgement. “...I think I’m homophobic.”

    Rose barely kept the surprised off her face. “What?”

    “I think I’m homophobic.”

    “What the fuck do you mean you think you’re homophobic?”

    He groaned. “I don’t know! I think I’m prejudiced against gay people. Isn’t that pretty self-explanatory?”

    Shane has Feelings about the men his roommate, Ilya, brings home. He consults Reddit for advice on how to stop being homophobic.

    Summary

    “I turned the other cheek every fucking time. I still got tossed on my ass the second I went too far over the line, and threatened by the commissioner, and told to kill myself on just about every social media platform because my nightmare that I’d get outed came true. And you, after everything you did, got to come out to a supportive team and fans, get a slap on the wrist, and have your happy fucking ending.”

    Summary

    As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.

    So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.

    (He’s jealous.)

    Summary

    “Maybe—maybe Lily is sleeping,” she says. Bargaining, she realizes numbly. She’s bargaining for more time. And for whatever is unfolding here to stop unfolding and in fact fold itself back up. Her thumb shifts away from the call button. “And you should be sleeping too, mister.”

    “He’s not sleeping.” Shane flares his nostrils—another gesture Yuna hasn’t seen in so many years. “He’s waiting for me to call a third time. Mom. Please. He’s—he’ll be so worried.”

    Yuna shifts her thumb and lets it drop. Is Yuna a bad mother if she hopes "Lily" doesn’t pick up?

    -x-

    or: Shane needs to call someone the night he's laid out by Marlow, and Yuna reflects on her quietly, obsessively devoted son.

    Summary

    “You are planning to rob me or what?” He hears Rozanov call, and he can’t help but smile slightly even as he rolls his eyes, closing the door to the linen closet and feeling strangely lighter than when he opened it, reassured that he’s just trying to read into a blank page, that today doesn’t mean anything more than Rozanov doesn’t mind him being around, which is strangely flattering.

    “I don’t know,” he calls back. “Don’t Russians like diamonds and fur and stuff? Where should I start looking if I want to know what my options are?”

    He hears Rozanov laugh, and it makes him smile.

    When he joins him in the living room once more, Rozanov tugs him down to lean against him again. Shane goes easier this time, settling into it, knowing it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that he just happens to be the closest warm body, the person on Rozanov’s roster who filled today’s slot.

    (the tuna meltdown doesn't happen) (this does not mean they get ANY better at communication)

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is Shane's ex-rival, his barely tolerable teammate, his perfect right wing, also concurrently an annoying presence in his Snapchat messages, a budding friend perhaps, and a general thorn in his backside. None of this, of course, explains why Shane is subjected to every single account of Ilya's sexual exploits or why Shane is secretly interested in them...

    or a texting fic featuring emotionally stunted men, a slightly toxic friendship, and weaponized jealousy.

    Summary

    Shane sends him a text that says 'thinking about your cock' with a picture of his rippling abs, and even though Ilya really appreciates the abs, all he can think about is the faint bruise blooming on Shane's ribs, and whether it hurts him very badly, and whether there's anything Ilya could do to make it hurt less, if he were there. He wants to be there, he realizes. He wants to be there for the rest of his life.

    He has to duck out of the team weight room so he can cough up a fistful of petals.

    So.

    Summary

    “I want a lawyer,” was the only thing he could say in English before all the words evaporated from his mind.

    The defense attorney glared at him, stopping his movements for a second, before getting back to what he was doing - opening a folder, aligning some papers in front of them.

    “My name is Shane Hollander. I’m your public defender,” he introduced himself. He clicked his pen and got ready to take notes. “Ilya Grigoryevich Rozanov, Russian, 25, right?”

    or,
    Ilya is arrested and Shane Hollander is a great lawyer. And he never loses.

    Summary

    ---
    "You do realise half of our fans want to fuck you?" Shane exhaled, watching the fireflies dance in the evening sky. Ilya shrugged.
    "They want to fuck all of us, that's how it works. What, do you think they don't want to fuck you?" He lowered his voice, teasing him. "Because I read some interesting things on Twitter."
    "Shut up."
    "You are very popular with the girls. Good boy, bass player, good looks, gentleman, probably they think you are a beast in bed."
    ---

    Shane Hollander is the goody-two-shoes Canadian bassist of Ice Crawlers. Ilya Rozanov is their loud Russian drummer. As the band reaches unprecedented levels of success and fame in the early 2010's, these two can't stay away from each other - even though the last thing their careers need is a sexual scandal between two of the most popular rock stars of their time.

    Rockband AU!

    If you're like me and Hollanov hit you the same way Larry Stylinson did when you were 12, good luck and have fun.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “There was just something fundamentally wrong with him that made him difficult to love. And there was always a small part of him, snarling in dark corner of his mind that he liked to ignore, that feared one day Ilya would realize it.”

    These were such a gut-wrenching pair of sentences because of how alarmingly real they felt. Shane is already my comfort character but the way you he’s written in this fic makes me feel like I understand him better…hell, understand MYSELF better. And god, it’s a relief.

    After publicly confronting Troy for terrorizing him for years on the ice, Shane has almost no one he can talk to about it. His instinct is to go to his parents, but he’s hit by the realization that they can’t support him in the way he needs. His parents’ love for Ilya means he could never have them completely on his side, and that revelation affirms his deepest fears about not being the son they wanted. He can’t even trust that Ilya isn’t confiding in and comforting Troy in their home because he’s turned to Troy in the past over Shane. He can’t open up about their problems to Hayden and J.J. because he still feels like he needs to defend Ilya to them and protect his relationship. That Centaurs see him as the husband of their Captain rather than the greatest living hockey player that he’s worked his whole life to be. The devastating truth is that Rose is truly the only person in his entire life who’s never required him to be pretend, which is pretty ironic given how they met.

    And seriously, ROSE FUCKING LANDRY. Rose is the rare female character who’s pretty universally, rightfully liked by the fandom. But most depictions of her don’t get past the surface level, and that’s including the source material. She’s lovely, and brave, and empathetic, but we don’t get a sense for why she’s that way, just that she IS. When I got to the part of the chapter where Rose started telling Shane about her past, I seriously started pumping my fist. Because OF COURSE that experience of betrayal, exposure, public shaming, and a system that will punish her if she doesn’t play nice, would give her a deep understanding of what Shane’s going through.

    Now, I will admit, when Rose told Shane she knows “a bit about what it's like” my Roselana-obsessed brain immediately thought she was going to come out to him, but I couldn’t be disappointed when instead of learning about her “big lesbian secret” we discovered something else beneath the surface: her rage. And how fucking powerful it is to let yourself feel it, without caveats, shame, or remorse.

    While I hope for a continuation with Ilya, I’m grateful that the author doesn’t rush into a reconciliation. Just like Shane, we really needed to sit with the emotions for a bit. The catharsis is in Shane vocalizing and accepting his own feelings, not in how anybody else receives them, which is frankly, quietly radical.

    My Hollanov-loving heart wants Ilya to understand
    his husband’s justified anger and how deeply he hurt the love of his life, so that he can immediately repair the damage, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it won’t be that easy. Despite Rachel Reid’s insistence that Ilya is “intelligent…observant and perceptive,” his perspective is far from infallible and his temper can be ugly when he’s caught off guard. The real suspense I feel about Ilya’s reaction makes Shane’s fears even more palpable.

    These chapters have been so wonderful and inspiring, and I’m so excited to read more. Whether that looks like a Hollanov reunion, a conversation with Troy, or, I don’t know, a fic exploring how Rose’s betrayal by an intimate partner caused her to seek out men who gave her a sense of safety, because subconsciously she knew they didn’t desire her at all, and how the public backlash to the invasion of her privacy could have also compounded her fear of being outed and losing the standing and respect she’s worked hard for in the industry, just like Shane, and allowing him Shane to be there for her the same way she’s always been for him, coaching her through being a queer public figure and dealing with Russian bisexuals determined to make your life complicated, I know the characterizations will be incredible. I am a fan for life!
