Baby Centaurs [Cold Read]

Summary:

To be clear, Ilya is grateful the rookies aren’t growing up the way he did in the NHL. Ilya took the hazing to the chin – humiliation rituals, beat downs, grueling practices to prove he could “hang” with the big guns on the team.

That being said, there’s still some part of Ilya that balks at the request by the gaggle of rookies to watch The Iron Giant, a veritable children’s movie at the team’s latest movie night.

OR: Five times Shane and Ilya were the support system for the Centaur rookies they dreamed of having when they were younger.

Notes:

hi!! i finally got back within podficcing range of my microphone so i ofcourse had to record three different things at once. (one of them is a tgcf extra heh) and i have been DEEP in the heated rivalry rabbit hole for weeks, which means I simply couldn't not podfic something. this is far from a perfect cold read but something for me to get warmed up again and also burn some of that hollanov obsessive energy (i have not lived on ao3 the way i recently have in YEARS). Enjoy this very adorable post-the-long-game-canon fic about hollanov and the rookie centaurs, featuring blessedly no russian accent, just feels.

thank you so much to WriteSmart for having blanket permission!!

ps. i mentioned this at the end of the cold read, but i am also very much working on the next chapter of my monster of a bagginshield podfic, and can't wait to post it once its done!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)
