    the hollanov love island au

    I appreciate not everyone watches love island, so I’ll try and explain it as best as I can as we go

    featuring my favourite sassy shane and you’re lucky we’re in public right now ilya combo

    in this universe, love island is r rated and contestants can in fact sleep together on camera - if anyone is from the UK and has watched open house on channel 4, that’s where I’m going with this

    open house: a VERY spicy reality tv show in which the participants very much do have sex on camera

    anyway *clears throat*: this programme contains strong language, and scenes of a sexual nature

    thank you for being here !!

    Summary

    The common loon’s mating system is serially monogamous; breeding pairs jointly defend a territory consisting of an entire small lake or a protected bay within a large lake. A given male and female remain together throughout a breeding attempt, rear their own biological offspring, reunite each spring, and may breed together for many consecutive years. - Wikipedia

     

    In which Shane is a nerdy college hockey player (with a special interest in loons) and Ilya is still a Boston Raider. One would think this would make their years-long situationship easier. It does not. But Shane watches the Boston Raiders play a lot - maybe a little too much. Don't tell Hayden that.

     

    ---

     

    Or, 5 times Shane watches Ilya’s games, 1 time Ilya watches Shane. The Hollanov situationship re-heated until feelings get involved. Oh no!

    A sequel to An Introduction to the Mating Practices of Loons: A Personal Anecdote (Hollander, 2013)

    Summary

    Shane smiled into his drink again.
    God. This was dangerous.
    He had known this man less than two hours and already his stomach did weird little flips whenever Ilya smiled at him.
    This was exactly why having an attractive roommate was terrible.
    Especially when you were secretly gay.

    Summary

    “Does it need to be like ceramics last semester? Do I need to drop you off and pick you up at the door again like a fucking preschooler?” Will shakes his head as best as he can, a whimper escaping from his lips. Mike grips his jaw tighter. “Speak.”

    “N-no, Mike.” Yes, actually, Will wants to say. He liked it when Mike did that last semester, walking him to and from class like Will’s big, scary guard dog. Sometimes, if Will was lucky, Mike would wait in the hallway during his class, clutching some mass market paperback, spine cracked and curled in on itself. Even big, scary guard dogs have owners, Will would think as Mike stayed put for him.

    In which someone asks for Will’s number and it makes Mike murderously angry.
