Trending: J.A.N.E.I.F.Y.'s New Song Just Dropped And We're All Asking - Who is J.A.N.E.I.F.Y.? by sleepixgstars 

Shane loves his husband. He really does! But sometimes, it can be hard to put that love into words. 

So maybe, when he tried to put it into words, he ended up writing a couple songs. 

And maybe he released them under a fake name. 

And maybe they got insanely popular somehow.

 - 

AKA the one where Shane and Ilya are married and in love and Shane is a little insecure about his ability to love his husband. So he becomes a faceless pop sensation. By accident. Mostly? It's complicated. 

There are a zillion things that are just awesome, perfect in here. This is also really out of the left field. Like seriously so, so, so out there. Which just makes this so much better and unique.

The only thing I didnt like that much was fast this went. I would have loved to read more about Shane being anonymous and stressing about the songs and stressing about telling to anyone. Maybe even more songs. Yes, I just want the story to be longer. Thats it. This ended too early.

Why everything is just too short now days? Everything good ends way too early. I need more of everything. More, more and more. 

professional heartbreaker [Game Changers, Hollanov, nc-17]

professional heartbreaker by yourinsomnia 

Out of all Ilya’s terrible vices, repeatedly hiring the same escort might be the stupidest one he’s ever picked up. 

We still need more AU fics, real AU fics. This fandom seems to label almost everything as an AU. Just like fics that are just a little bit of the canon is easily tagged as an AU. I hate it, but I can somewhat understand it. 

Still. We need more AU fics where Ilya is in a mafia. Yes. More of these awesome stories where he drags Shane to the dark side. Like this one. Shane is pretty, innocent college student, just trying to pay the bills. Ilya on othe hand just cant resist the freckles. 

Thats it. Lovely. Thank you.

Laceration [Game Changers, Hollanov, Nc-17]

Laceration by AC91 

Shane Hollander was perfect; the perfect son, the perfect boyfriend, the perfect friend. He had spent years refining perfection, making sure he was the picture of it. It was second nature after all these years; a suit that didn’t quite fit, but that he’d gotten used to. 

Enter Ilya Rozanov. 

I kinda feel bad but at the same time i kinda dont feel. But like, these two fuckers are meant to each other so feeling bad when they get together is kinda pointless.

And this fic is more about Shane finding himself and the whole journey there. Rose is good and lovely and everything. It just doesnt work so. Yea. I dont know. This is really, really beautifully written and heartbreaking in a lot of ways. And. You are suppose to consentrate to good things. Yea.

black dog [Game Changers, Hollanov, nc-17]

black dog by delagauchetiere 

Ilya is not going to steal Shane Hollander's dog. That would be illegal. And wrong. And someone would probably find out and make Ilya give him back. 

So. Not stealing. 

But there is nothing wrong with giving Chernysh all the pats and treats that he deserves, is there? 

Nothing wrong with encouraging Chernysh to spend more and more time at Ilya's house until he doesn't even remember who Hollander is. 

Because Hollander is stupid and boring and does not deserve a dog as good as Chernysh. No, he doesn't, does he? Because Chernysh is the best boy in the whole world, yes he is.

Fuck. Okay. First of all Ilya's English in here. You can see how it improves and how he gets more comfortable with speaking. I loved that. Maybe the best part of the whole fic.

Second thing is the whole dog thing. I am somewhat sad that I guessed it, but it didn't really matter. It was still good and it didn't ruin the fic for me at all. I was just happy that I was able to pick it up.

Third thing is how I am suppose to be working but nooo, I had to finnish this right now. I may have spent the majority of two work days reading this. Ha. Just dont tell my boss that, he still thinks Im dedicated and hard working and whatnot. In the mean time I read fanfics and pretend like Im working.

Anyways. 

The ending. This is the thing Im still not sure about. Its good, its so damn good. I just had ideas where this fic would be going and I was not so sure if I wanted it to go there. The whole thing still makes sense, its in line with everything and I still love it. Okay. On top of that, all my other feelings about it are kinda mixed. So yea.

Still. This is so fucking worth it. Seriously. Go and read this. Hurry!

Operation Hollanov [Game Changers, Hollanov, oneshot]

Operation Hollanov by Sumatra 

In which Shane and Ilya's teammates are observant, but not as observant as they think they are. 

Extract: 

“So wait, what does that mean?” Hayden said, and Wyatt could see the cogs turning in his head. 

“I think it means we have two thirty-year-old men on our hands who haven’t figured out how to admit their feelings to each other,” Wyatt laughed. “And we’ve somehow decided they’re our responsibility.” 

“Fuck,” Hayden said, putting his head in his hands. “We’re gonna need to get them together, aren’t we?”

 Hockey players can be so dumb while being somewhat smart. Ha. This is that times zillion. 

 Have fun kids!  

(Never) Stop Looking At Me Like That [Game Changers, Hollanov, oneshot, nc-17]

(Never) Stop Looking At Me Like That by heavenlykviss 

Shane is in love with Matt. They're in love and it's fine. It's better than fine really, Shane loves just about everything about Matt and he loves all of Matt's friends. Except for the big tall Russian one that wont stop staring at him like he knows something Shane doesn't. Like he's waiting for Shane to snap. Like he's begging Shane to do something. 

And Shane won’t, obviously. Because Ilya is the type of man to reel you in and the leave you high and dry. Leave you looking for pieces of him in every new person that you meet, leave you looking for signs you didn't just make the whole thing up, like some wild fantasy that was born of monotony. 

Oh, and he fact he has a boyfriend who he loves. A lot. It isn't monotonous. Its love.

Shane can date other people, Ilya can date other people, as long as they end together. So. Maybe no, they cannnot date other people. 

I dont really like stories with cheating in them and this is like really close to that line. Really close. Or maybe it even crosses it. Even when you kinda get the idea that sometimes things are not always working out and this is one of the symptoms of that. Or something.

I really dont know. I dont even care. Whatever. Just. Read and enjoy. Thats it.

i've been stuck now so long (we just got the start wrong) [Game Changers, Hollanov, oneshot]

 i've been stuck now so long (we just got the start wrong) by beagoldfish  

The second time Shane Hollander wakes up on November 16th, he has a panic attack. 

The problem is — he tries to explain through gasped breaths after Hayden basically knocks down his door, shouting that they’re going to miss their flight — the thing is, Shane’s already woken up on November 16th. He’s already flown to Boston. He’s already been to practice, and he’s checked into the hotel, and he has lived this day before. 

He doesn’t mention that he’s also already fucked Ilya Rozanov twice and had a fucking tuna melt that Rozanov made and drank the ginger ale that Rozanov bought specifically for him. He doesn’t mention that they’d snuggled on the couch watching TV like some kind of couple, like boyfriends. 

He doesn’t mention that he fell asleep thinking about how Ilya — fuck, no, thinking about how Rozanov had called him sweetheart and Shane, and that, even now, he can’t quite get the cadence of Ilya’s voice out of his head. 

Or: After the tuna melt fiasco, Shane Hollander wakes up in a time loop.

Is it okay to have a headcanon about a fic? I like the idea that Ilya is stuck in the time loop too. For some reason he doesnt tell Shane about it, just maybe enjoys it the same way Shane is. Or maybe he is a little bit suicidal and thinks that this is the best he could ever get from Shane. Yea. That got deep and dark pretty fast.

Tbh, I kinda guessed the way the time loop would be broken pretty fast. But that didnt really affect the fic itself. I liked the journey Shane took to get to the point. How he kind of got distracted there for couple of times and how he just lost himself to the time loop. 

 Also. I may have cried a lot. Fuck the mental health.  

rozanov's roster [Game Changers, Hollanov, multichapter]

rozanov's roster by gurlsrool 

Emmy: When did you first hook up with him? 
Jane: 2010 
Caro: WHAT 
Megan: GIRL 
Tia: SEVEN YEARS?? 
Megan: My jaw is borderline unhinged rn 

Or: In 2017, Shane finds a place where he can talk about his sex life...a group chat for girls who have slept with Ilya Rozanov

Why am I back reading WIP fics? Like yea, there are completed fics that I have not read yet. Some of them are even pretty fucking good (probs I could like them even better than this one). So the fucking point being what? Idk. I dont wanna know. 

To be fair, I have subscribed to like ten? WIP fics and I hate those emails that there is a new chapter. Hate them with passion. On top of that, I have stopped reading half of them after like two updated. Just yea. The waiting is not for and I cant even justify the whole thing.

This on the other hand? Fuck. Cant stop reading, cant stop re-reading. Love it. Its unhinged. Its best. Its weird. Ist just so everything. I dont even know. 

And I may be a little bit addicted to all these texting fics. Dont tell anyone, please.

B̶o̶y̶friends with benefits by Anonymous 

“You are so pretty, Hollander. Your freckles err— take my breath.” 

Shane glares. “Rozanov, you can’t say that here,” he says through gritted teeth. “They can hear us.” 

“Who gives a fuck?” He declares with a careless shrug. “Whole world knows we are lovers, so what?” 

The world most definitely does not need to know that he’s on Ilya’s extensive fuck buddies roster. 

Or 

According to Ilya, Shane is the best boyfriend anyone could ask for. If you ask Shane, he’ll tell you they are just fuck buddies.

Just idiots here. Idiots who dont know how to talk and just expect the other to know everything. Just plain idiots.

Still cute idiots who are just so perfect for each other. Who have all the support from everyone around them. The cutest, sweetest idiots who deserve each other.

And social cues are the fucking worst. 

speak to us of clothes [Game Chhangers, Hollanov, oneshot]

speak to us of clothes by whimsicule 

Shane Hollander, hockey player extraordinaire, hovers in the doorway to his impressively designed but sparsely filled walk-in closet, looking at her with wide eyes like she might shoot him if he’s got the wrong things in there. If she finds any cargo shorts, she might shoot herself. 

or: shane hires a stylist.

I am really shocked that I have not blogged about this before. I have even red this like.. Three times? already or something.  

We are returning to my all time trope where Hollanovs relationship is seen from some random person's view (or sometimes not so random, maybe outsider's pov would be the best term, but, meh, whatever). And thats it. Thats all there is. 

Also. I am kinda wishing a sequel here with more Ilya. But if  this is all Im getting, Im not complaining.

Shane can do casual. He fucking loves casual. He’ll be Toronto’s king of casual. 

Shane cannot in any universe do casual. Neither can Ilya when its about Shane. They suck at that. Its either everything or nothing. And this proves it. 

The Ottawa Centaurs’ Relationship Chart [Game Changers, Hollanov, oneshot]

The Ottawa Centaurs’ Relationship Chart by leialoo7 

Shane and Ilya are thrilled to be on the same team this year but can't resist a little on-ice fighting. The team is very concerned. 

--- 

“Great,” Troy muttered. “They’re going to kill each other.” 

Across the boards from him, Harris squeaked, “Should we, like, do something? Call Coach? Call–" 

“A therapist?” Troy interjected. 

“I’m serious!” exclaimed Harris. 

“So am I,” said Troy. “Those two have been on opposing teams for their entire professional careers. I don’t think they have any idea how to turn off their competitive bickering. This is going to be an interesting season.”

Ha. This is just pure gold. Perfectness. The absolute best thing ever. 

Home Ice Advantage [Game Changers, Hollanov, nc-17]

Home Ice Advantage by taywrites11 

“You’re going to Boston.” 

Long after Farah hangs up, the words keep echoing in Shane’s head. If he had thought his thoughts had been chaotic this morning, when his biggest problem had been his rival potentially fucking him when he came to Montreal in two weeks, that’s nothing compared to the code-red panic that started the instant he found out he was being traded to Rozanov’s team. 

Rozanov, who was supposed to be his great career rival. Rozanov, who he’s hooked up with twice now. Rozanov, who had been planning on coming to Shane’s apartment in Montreal to fuck him the next time they saw each other. God, how on Earth is Shane going to walk into his locker room in Boston in a few days time? 

The impending awkwardness of dealing with Rozanov is almost enough to eclipse the hurt he’s trying to ignore. The knowledge that Montreal values him so little that they’re willing to dispose of him only six months into his rookie season. Almost, but not quite. 

- 

Or, Shane gets traded to Boston AU.

Unanswered (And Other Words Found In The Thesaurus) by fandom_commitment_issues      

“Were you sleeping with Rose Landry?” LeClaire asked, and Ilya felt his entire world flip upside down. 

Ilya scoffed and sank into the chair. He stared at his lap and, for a second, wished he could just say yes. It would have been easier. A simpler explanation. Something everyone else could swallow. “No,” he answered instead. “I was not sleeping with Landry.” 

Coach sighed, the weight of it settling uncomfortably in the office. “So it was Hollander, then.” 

Or 

Ilya gets called into his Coach's office after Rose and Shane start dating and an uncomfortable conversation takes place. Ilya realizes some things. Also he may need to stop reading his thesaurus.

This is again one of those fics that are just scratching the perfect itch I have. The whole idea about Shane being part of Boston Bears (or Raiders, dont care) and how it could have been perfect for them. Okay. This doesnt go that far, but the dream is there and path is... being figured out? laid out? being drawn? something. Fuck English.

I just love all these fics where people figure them out and want the best for them. Its just, in canon everyone kinda hates Ilya and in fics I can find the found family he needs, deserves in his corner. Just all that.

You, I Always Need You [Game Changers, Hollanov, oneshot]

You, I Always Need You by hollano_ov 

Shane really isn't looking for a relationship, which is why having Ilya around is nice. No strings attached, only great sex. It's a win all around. 

The only problem is that Ilya is way, way too nice to Shane's stupid cat.

I saw someone suggest this in Reddit. It was just right after I had just read this. All of that made me think abut this again and how much i liked reading this. So at this point, I just had to add this here too.

This is also scratching my endless itch about AU fics and not having enough of them. But we are getting there! There will be more and even more awesome ones. I cant wait.

In the meantime. Enjoy this masterpiece.

love you like a loophole by olivetowrite 

“Pretend we don't know each other?” Shane repeats, a little confused in all honesty. Wasn't therapy about talking? 

“Yes. You are meeting for the first time in this room. Introduce yourselves.” 

Shane shifts in his seat, slowly turning to Ilya. It's not all that different from the first time they'd actually met; the awkward vibes radiating off Shane are almost identical. They're just missing a snowy forecast and a cigarette. 

He decides to go a step further, standing up. It feels the right thing to do under the circumstances. Who meets for the first time sitting down? He takes a step forward, holding his hand out to Ilya. Or not Ilya. This random man he’s about to meet, who happens to look a lot like Ilya. Ilya takes the cue, standing from his own chair with a shake of his head. He takes Shane’s hand, shaking firmly. 

“I’m Shane, uh, Shane Hollander.” 

Ilya nods. “Ilya Rozanov.” 

—————— 

Or: Shane and Ilya get sent to reconciliation therapy, and of course, handle it super well.

These two shitheads need therapy. For real. It would do them a lot of good. Maybe not this pseudo therapy (which is still doing them a lot of good) but this is still a step to a better... something. I dont know. I dont even care.

I just like the idea and how it helps them without them actually noticing anything. It just works like therapy is suppose to work. The only thing I would love to read is how everyone reacts to the show and what Ilya and Shane think about it after watching it. A sequel would be so nice. 

Thaaaank you. 

I Keep Telling Myself, I'm Not the Desperate Type [Game Changers, Hollanov, oneshot, nc-17]

I Keep Telling Myself, I'm Not the Desperate Type by OrYouCouldHaveMine 

Shane steps closer, standing between Ilya’s legs. “I guess that explains it, hm? You don’t have to be confident or good when you’re packing that, do you? You just let people use your big,” Shane accentuates the word by leaning down and touching Ilya’s cock for the first time, only it’s not a caress or a stroke, it’s a rude poke that makes Ilya’s cock jerk in the air, “cock, however they want to? Is that it? Just a thick, fat cock for people to ride when you get too fucking stupid to do anything else?” 

--- 

Uni AU, loser, stoner frat bro Ilya, pining after popular, jock Shane

Seriously. What have I read? Seriously. I have no clue how I always get this amount of lost and then I even kinda like being lost. 

Also. There is a sequel to this, the sequel is as good as this one. So. Yeah. 

But still. This is not really as bad as I am making this sound. This is more mellow and just Ilya wanting Shane more than is probably healthy. But what else is new, nothing. So yea.

Have fun! 

(We Could Be) Something Great [Game Changers, Hollanov, multichapter, nc-17]

(We Could Be) Something Great by Anonymous 

When Ilya Rozanov goes down on the ice, the Boston Bears are already moving to defend their captain. No one expects Shane Hollander, captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, to be the one who throws the first punch. 

Or: the Boston Bears figure out Ilya and Shane’s relationship first—and decide that instead of letting their captain move to fucking Ottawa, they’ll just kidnap a his boyfriend instead. Shane Hollander would make a better Bear anyway. 

I am really stuck to the whole idea of Shane being traded to Boston. I love the idea, I love how the team reacts to it, how it affects everything and just how these two idiots are going to survive the whole ordeal.

The only thing I hate is that all of these fics are WIP. There are like three complete fics and I dont like them that much. So I had to switch to WIP fics and thats just a huge pain in my ass. I hate the waiting game and hoping that the fic will get finished and I hope I dont forget about them. Yea. This is one of the WIP I started to read just because I need the stories. 

But I really liked this one. The whole kidnapping part and Shane finally understanding how Montreal maybe is a little bit shitty place for him. Okay. Thats not fair. How everyone in Montreal is basically bullying him and the environment is not good for him. That. I like that part.

So yea. Lots of things Im hooked up right now and hoping. I just wish there were more, but in time there will be. I just have to be patient.

Where Is My Husband! [Game Changers, Hollanov]

Where Is My Husband! by shaneviews 

Four times people assume Shane is lying about his husband. 
And one time they’re proven wrong.

I would love more AU fics. Just the boys in different worlds, different lives and how they handle everything. I know in time there will be more AU fics but thats gonna take so long.

This is just a little taste to Shane as university student, married to Ilya. There are even two way too cute sequels to this

No clue what else to say. I loved this. I love the sequels and I want more. Yea. And I have read this like three times already. All that. 

All Our Little Victories (and Losses) [Game Changers, Hayden Pike/Jackie Pike/Original Character(s), nc-17]

All Our Little Victories (and Losses) by Vee (Vera_DragonMuse) 

The Pikes had a rough season, but now they may have a path forward to a new home, new friends and maybe some more unconventional changes. 

 I did not know what I was getting into when I opened this fic. All I knew, was that I really liked the author's other work and wanted to read more from them. Thats it.

This thing did not disappoint. Far from it. This just added another layer to everything and gave me something new to get lost to. I love throuples and would love to read more throuple fics. This is also one of those fic that I would love to have a sequel. I would love to learn how their dynamics play out in day to day life and how they take everything that comes with it.

Here mostly its just all of them finding each other and learning about themselves and the others. And then there is Ilya just adding to the fire. 

I liked how innocent they were. How they were kind of lost and how they just went with the flow. 

Weird thing is how Joey's pronouns are they/them and I dont usually have problem with that. Seriously. I try to use they always when Im not sure about gender and sometimes even when Im sure about the gender. But here it took my brain way too long to catch up and I hate it. Really.
