The Jacket [Game Changers, Hollanov, oneshot]

The Jacket by stvrrlight

Laine took a swig of his beer. “God help whoever is rooming next to Roz tonight.”

Shane felt all the blood drain from his face.

Jesus.

Of course, Ilya was going to sleep with her tonight. She was gorgeous, perfect, and he didn't have to sneak her around the hotel. Why wouldn't he sleep with her? Because of Shane? They didn't mean anything to each other. They were . . . friends, maybe. Roommates, definitely. Even if Rozanov was respectful enough to not bring anyone home while Shane was there, there was nothing stopping him from sleeping with other people while he had his own room on the road.

Months of living together and playing together, Shane and Ilya are living in harmony until Shane has an anxiety attack after seeing Ilya flirt in a sports bar.

I was just going over fics that I wanted to download to Kobo and then found this. My only thought was that this is short, wont take long, doesnt matter if its shitty or anything else. But shit. I liked this. 

This is literally nothing super special. But this kinda makes sense and I liked how fucked up Shane was and how fast. I dont know. Even if its a little bit OOC but like, if Metros have gotten rid of him, that must eat some of his selfesteem so there is that.  

Fall in love with anyone [Game Changers, Hollanov, oneshot, nc-17]

Fall in love with anyone by sistercacao

“If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?” Quickly, Ilya adds, “Don’t say that you want to know if you win the Cup.”

“Why not? What if that’s my answer?”

“Is so boring, Hollander. Of course you want to know this. But Ilya Rozanov and Boston Raiders exist in this world, so crystal ball says, so sad, but no.”

“Fuck off. What are these questions even for, anyway? Are you interviewing me for something? Wouldn’t you have to, like, tell me if you were?”

Ilya is quick to assure Hollander before his paranoia takes him right out of this phone call. “It is not for interview, Hollander. I am just wondering. Answer the question.”

“And I can’t say that I would want to know whether I win the Cup.”

“Yes, other than that.”

“I guess… I guess I would want to know, like, am I happy?”

Now I wanna go over those questions with someone.

I like how there is still some Shane panic and also how Ilya is still somewhat lying to himself. For a change this felt just so in character and that was refreshing. Yea.

The Most Adulty Adult Around [Game Changers, Hollanov, oneshot]

The Most Adulty Adult Around byy ellis (ellabellachicketychella)

“He’s the most adulty,” Bee hisses. 

Shane squints at the group. “What have you done?” 

“Nothing!” Young squeaks which immediately means they have done something. 

“Uhm, just say hypothetically your washing machine is flooding and you try to open it to drain it, suddenly your entire laundry is flooding.” 

“Is the drain hose connected properly?” 

“Don’t look at me!” Arty whines. “Do I look like I know how to fix a drain hose? I don’t— stop looking at me!”

or, five times shane is contacted by the rookies for adulting and one time he accidentally gives wildly incorrect advice

I feel like I should figure out who is GEEK and why everyone credits them. But. Like. Im probably too lazy to get that deep into this fandom. And maybe Im too old to go that deep. Idk.

Anyways. This is part of a bigger series and its not 100% mandatory for you to read all the other parts of that series for this to make sense. Some little details may sound weird but this is fine as a stand alone. 

It kinda also feels like people seem to forget about how these guys are like 18 or 19 or 20. So really young and still figuring the shit out. So it makes sense for them to have a frat house and being totally clueless about a lot of things. Also. There was this one hockey player who played Fortnite (I think?) like a lot while being a professional NHL player. It even affected his gameplay for some degree and when he finally stopped or maybe just wasnt gaming so much he started to be a better hockey player. Or something like that. Ugh. Now I have to google the guy. Shit. Patrick Laine! Yep. It was some British football player who even needed professional help for gaming, but thats completly different story. And please, do not ask how I have this useless information in my head.

Anyways. Back to the fic. Sometimes people forget that players are also young guys who are filthy rich and they are on their own. And all of that could just mean utter chaos. Some of that chaos is also understanding how much rich people can be separeted from the real world and everyday things.

So this is another thing I need to get lost to and read a lot more fics about. Seriously. Fuck life. Who needs a life anyway? 

They don't know about us [Game Changers, Hollanov, oneshot]

They don't know about us by avid_reader64

When in the 20/21 season Shane is forced to come out, Ilya is not far behind him.

Twitter sees this as a chance to get the two rivals together, with help from their teammates.

Except they’re already in a relationship, unbeknownst to everyone.

(Hayden already knows like in the original timeline)

No one is able to not ship these two. Yeah. Fics like these just make me more impatient to wait for the Unrivalred book, like we need to know how the rest of the world reacts and what kind of shitstorm there is. And they need to win the Stanley Cup for Centaurs, yep. So much to wait for.

In the mean time we just have to enjoy all these awseome fics and try to be patient. Yea. Half of that is easy and half is torture. Fuck.

hollanov from the outside by lisa6

There was no summary for the series itself. But basically this is just how everyone else finds out about Hollanov and how they love these two.  

I liked the Hollander one. The whole where they come to the conclusion about Shane maybe being gay and how subtle it was and how long it took them to actually come up with it. And how Shane was just being a little bit too focused on hockey.

The Svetlana one just made me fall in love with her all over again. It touched deep and made so much sense.

Hayden is always Hayden and Im still not finished with the Rose one. But those two are just perfect fics too.

I really tought about blogging about everyone separetly, but I would just be repeating myself and they would just be identical and refering other posts so this is easier, neatier and leaves me more room to blog about more awesome fics. Yep.

So. Have fun kids!
