Two Man Advantage [Game Changers, Hollanov]

Breaking! Shane Hollander traded to Boston Raiders for Drew Kenton. Contract details to come soon. 

or 

Shane Hollander, back-to-back cup winner, generational player, and Metro's star centre should have never been traded. Let alone traded to their division rival, Boston. 

My mostly searched tag at AO3 is Boston Raiders Shane Hollanov. At this point I may even have read almost all completed fics under that tag. And even some not completed.

I love all these headcanons that there are. Raiders supporting Hollanov, Cliff being the bestest best and whatnot. At this point I dont even remember what makes every fic so special. Maybe all the headcanons and playing with everything. Just. Every single thing.

Yuna pours him a glass of ice cold homemade lemonade without asking and hands it to him across the kitchen island, then announces, “Just as a heads up, me and David will leave for Japan over the weekend. My cousin invited us to spend the summer there at her lake house, and we could hardly say no to that. I will leave you a pair of keys so that you can still come and go.” 

Wide-eyed, Ilya blinks at her. “Um?” 

“You won’t be all alone,” says Yuna, immediately. “We have a son. Shane?” 

or: Ilya has been asked to fix up the Hollander house over summer. Shane Hollander, the elusive son of the family, returns to town after thirteen years to watch over said house. The next six weeks are going to be incredibly interesting. 

Why oneshots are now days 30 000 words long? Like yeah, Ill still read it, but like seriously. Why?

This could have been way, way more angsty, but wasn't. And I liked how easy, light, romantic this was. Just some nice, good reading for lazy Sunday (I know, I know Im posting this on monday but I scheduled this to future). 

The only thing I missed was more Shane's parents and their scheming. Or is it just Yuna's scheming? Anyways. I love how in every fic they care about Shane, his happiness and his life. If there is one thing that makes me cry every single time, its their never ending love and how they show it to Shane. Maybe its overbearing in times and I would hate it sometimes if it was my parents. But. I can still appreciate it and love it in every single fics. And then they show it to Ilya too, which just makes everything so much better. 

One best part here was also Ilya's depression and how it was mentioned. It was there, it was part of everything, but it didnt take over. I really liked that. It is, after all, a really big part of Ilya.

Mental health matters and all that.

Ilya Rozanov was starting over. His mother was long dead, his father had finally passed, and his brother didn’t want him around anymore. Moscow was nothing but dead bodies and fading memories and scars that just wouldn’t heal. Enter Shane Hollander. 
*Laceration, from Ilya’s POV 

I loved the prequel? The one from Shane's POV? The other one. And I went into this thinking this would break me, destroy me and I would spend the whole fic crying. But this was not as hearbreaking as I first thought. Which is probably a good thing for my mental health.

To be honest, my favorite part of this was Ilya's backgroud. His growing up, his suicidal thoughts, his way of surviving. Everything that made him who he is. All those reasons how he ended up to Montrea, ended up to the hockey team and made all those friends. I also loved how Ilya reads Shane in here and tries to understand him, not always being correct but thats mostly down him not uderstanding his own worth. 

Just. This is as good as the prequel, maybe some parts were even better. Still solid and just good.

In which Shane has a one night stand and tries to find him through twitter.

Shane @ShaneH24

Dear twitter, i am looking for a guy that fucked me super duper well on the 14th september around 1am. He had golden curly hair and his ass was huge and he was hot. Also 6ft.

Please and thanks,

The guy who needs to be railed again.

I have no idea how many times I have read this. Maybe three, maybe thirty. Still this is one  of my favorites of all time. 

Its short, simple, really horny and Shane is funny as hell (without actually realising how funny he is). They are soulmates and made for each other.

No. But in all seriousness. I hate those fics where basically Shane is controlling Ilya's menace and keeping him in line. When actually I feel like he could just be feeding the fire and making everything so much worse. Because he likes it too. And this is that. They are both being super horny for each other and causing a ruckus. 

Yep. Enjoy!

Shane is twelve when he realizes he can understand Russian. 

Or, in a world where you can understand whatever language(s) your soulmate speaks, it takes Shane and Ilya an embarrassing amount of time to realize they’re soulmates.

I came across the sequel to this and was really surprised I hadnt blogged about it yet. Then I realised I havent blogged about this either. I have read this like back in January when I had this weird obsession with soulmate fics. But some reason I couldnt find this here.

So. Here we go. The sequel is it has a language of its own  

Anyways. I love the idea of understanding each others languages. I also love how there could be problems with it and making the whole learning part difficult. One thing I would like to know what happens when they learn more languages and what consist as native language (I know a guy who is fluent in five languages because he moved his whole childhood and there is not one single language that he could say he is native in, sooo yea).

Other than that. This is just two idiots not realizing whats in front of them. Yep. Just lovely every day fic in other words. Just really, really, really good and I have read this twice already.
