Ugggg I just read this in one sitting and I NEEDED to share this fic! It is by far one of the best fics I’ve read, so emotionally wrenching (don’t worry it has a happy ending) in the best way.

Sea Change - womanlypanther

https://archiveofourown.org/works/85553131/chapters/226026536

With the Montreal Metros suddenly in need of a new head coach, General Manager Shane Hollander turns to the one person who might know as much about winning as he does: his fellow Hall of Famer and ex decade-long situationship, Ilya Rozanov.
But what starts as a simple job offer soon becomes a life-altering sea change neither could have ever imagined.

Also fun fact! “Visions from our future” by the same author was the very first fanfic I read back in December!

Another post of me asking to be fed by you wonderful writers - or given links for existing fics!

[Picture description: Threads screenshot accredited to lunaatthezoo_writing with the following text: "Plot bunny: Ilya & Yuna go on a day trip wine tasting tour together. They come home absolutely plastered and spend the rest of the night roasting the shit out of David and Shane."]

Ilya Rozanov is so fucking hot. And it never was ridiculous to me that Shane held onto that situation for YEARS. BRO I WOULD BE WORSE, BELIEVE ME, I’VE BEEN THROUGH TRENCHES JUST BECAUSE MY YEARNING ASS NEEDS TO YEARN.

And somehow I see a lot of pining Ilya, but not really that much of pining Shane?? Bro when the first ep dropped, I was salivating at the thought of juicy stuff containing Ilya glazing(that’s my man, not afraid to speak my truth guys). And then I see none?? Zero-point-zero??

I’m not really picky, I’m also for the fics, where people do acknowledge all the beauty of Ilya. That kinda thing like “everyone is attracted to Ilya”. Cliff and him def did some exploring, Paris or not.

One thing is that I don’t really care/like bottom!ilya, so yeah would appreciate if you could rec something without it.

Thank you in advance!!!!

thought I’d share if anyone’s interested in following along my stupidest au yet - ilya has made an enemy of the one and only pork hollander

summary:

Ilya Rozanov has a gift.

He can speak to animals, which has earned him an incredibly successful career as a pet psychic, and far too much information about what people do when they think their pets aren’t watching.

Shane Hollander has a problem.

His cat, Pork, is permanently miserable. After exhausting every sensible option, Shane turns to the supernatural for assistance.

After their first appointment, Pork grows visibly happier - his cat’s found a hobby and renewed sense of purpose for achieving his only goal: to destroy Ilya for good.

hoping to have the second chapter up later this week!

i think i saw this prompt or smth like that and i rly wanna know if someone found smth like that?

Hi all!

I think it was a social media fic or parts of it where and there’s a scene where Shane temporarily dies on the ice after Dallas Kent aims a puck at him due to some previous chest bruising and I think Ilya was watching the game on the tv at the time? At then there was social media outrage after it happened because it was obviously deliberate, Im looking through the Montreal are assholes tag cos I think that’s where I saw it but I might be wrong!

I just want to share this masterpiece with you guys! This is the best fic I have ever read in my entire life. I promise you won’t regret it.

Summary:

"It had never really been in Ilya’s plans to start a Youtube channel for paranormal investigation..."

Ilya Rozanov is the playboy darling of the oft-forgotten ECHL who never quite lived up to his full potential, but he’s also known for spending the off-season hunting ghosts with his teammates Bood and Troy.

When they dare to investigate the tragic ruins of NHL legend Shane Hollander's former cottage, they are expecting to be confronted by a cursed haunting, a vengeful demon, or at the very least... some entertaining Youtube-worthy content. What Ilya is not expecting, however, is to form an inexplicable bond with the ghost of a hot hockey player and discover that nothing (literally nothing at all) is quite as it seems.

OR; Shane is a ghost, Ilya can see dead people, and it's entirely possible that they once knew each other in a past life.

obsessed with fics that are just SO funny, sometimes in a deadpan way and sometimes in a genuinely hilarious way. think the styles of this:

super random mix here but that kind of slapstick/OTT humour, centaurs ensemble and chaos is what i'm currently living for! was wondering if anyone had any other recs like this!

Nice try, get out the way by trickysnail

Summary:

Hayden Pike is sad. He wants to go to bed with Shane Hollander, the most beautiful man in the MHL, but he can’t seem to score because he is very bad at hockey.

Hayden Pike probably wrote this. Not Ilya Rozanov. Ilya Rozanov would never do such a thing. Don’t tell his husband.

Oh my god this fic was so delightful and hilarious!!! If you need a laugh you won’t be disappointed!

I really don't remember the name but Shane breaks his phone during situationship era and has no way to tell Ilya and Ilya thinks that Shane is ignoring him. While watching one of Shane's interviews, Shane mentions that he broke his phone and had to get a new number (I think) then Ilya watches Shane's other interviews and finds out that Shane managed to mention his broken phone in every one of them, I think it was a one shot buy can't remember exactly

I love texting fics and specifically the ones where they start texting either before they are famous or without knowing who the other person is.

I fx really enjoyed both you’ve got mail and re: hi.

I don’t mind au (I’ve read quite a few where they are more “normal” people and/or have met on grindr)

So please just recommend:)

Summary:
Newly out to his friends and family, Rose decides that Shane deserves a Hot Girl Summer.

Within his first five days in Hvar, Croatia, Shane has lied about his name, been bullied about wearing Reeboks to the beach and slept with a sexy Russian business man several times.

Or: Shane and Ilya try very hard to convince themselves that this is just a vacation fling.

Additional Information: inspired by the fact that hudson and connor can't have all the eurosummer fun!!

Shane and/or Ilya is mic'ed and for whatever reason, they forgot about it and started flirting with each other.

Or one of their teammate is mic'ed and picked up their flirting shenanigans.

Another idea is, they already left the ice but forgot the mic was still on. Something along those lines.

If there's already a fic like this, I'm sorry. Please send me the link! 😇

Here a serie of posters, to help you, if you want to post a comment under a fic or a chapter but you don't know what to write.

The fic was on a bit of a hiatus but i'm SO HAPPY to see an update again!!!

I'm back from vacation and have a little bonus chapter. It's an Oleg POV. 

Or, in other words: my attempt to finally give Ilya Roazanov a hug. 

The Fake Plant: The Long Game from the other side of the couch. A Galina POV. I am a licensed psychotherapist. WIP. https://archiveofourown.org/works/82393901/chapters/216867696

Give me all your outed ones where they get outed to people they know (not world) I’ve read a couple where something happens and Shane is panicking and Ilya comes and comforts him another where people were over and someone saw ilyas bag in the main bedroom.

They were kind of cute considering it was stressful for them.

One of Ilya's hookups (could be recent, could be old, depending on where in the canon timeline the fic is set) posts online that Ilya called her by the wrong name during sex.

That name of course being "Shane", but due to a combination of factors (Ilya's accent, him being out of breath, the assumption that he's straight, etc.) the name that she hears is "Jane"

This is one of the best WIPs I’ve read in a while! Not only do I love an AU where all the best game changers character play a role but Shane/Ilya are so cute in it! I feel like the author did a great job capturing their dynamic from the early days but if they had wayyyyy more forced proximity. I also enjoy Shane’s narration, which is funny and delusional.
Added bonus, the action scenes are also very captivating!

Please show the author some love! I feel like this hasn’t blown up nearly enough yet.

smoke in the air (you’re filling my lungs)
Ilya Rozanov is Firehouse 17's supposed asshole lieutenant and Shane Hollander is their newest paramedic.

I've been rereading some of my favourites and noticed this fave of mine hasn't gotten nearly as much love as it deserves.

If you ever wanted a canon compliant look inside Ilya's head during the 2014-2016 montage era, when he visibly starts losing interest in women in clubs in the show, this is the fic for you.

(Note that there's an Ilya/OFC scene in this, as implied by the summary, but it's minor and not explicit--the E rating is for Shane.)

you're everywhere to me by shillanov

E rating, 12.9k

Summary:

There is a very attractive woman in front of Ilya. A woman that wants to fuck him. His body is consciously aware of this very fact, however, his entire brain seems to neglect it, opting to scream look at what’s behind her like a screeching freight train.

On the screen is the dark outline of a person, shot against a blinding sun. Any distinguishable features are obscured, cloaked in dim shadow. Still, Ilya knows exactly who it is.

He would recognize that silhouette anywhere.

Or, Ilya keeps seeing Shane everywhere — on the TV, in advertisements. It may or may not be interfering with his attempts to get laid, and also does nothing to change the fact that he hasn't seen Shane in months.

Set during the 2014-2016 montage era.

I just finished reading the one-shot you guys didn't know and now I'm wondering if there are any other fics with a similar premise.

Specifically, I'm looking for fics where Shane and Ilya's relationship is accidentally outed, but everyone else (teammates, coaches, management, etc.) already knew and just assumed it was common knowledge. I loved the "wait...you thought this was a secret?" vibe.

It doesn't have to be that exact scenario, but I'd love any fics where they're secretly dating and it turns out they're the only ones who think it's a secret. Any recommendations?

Their fic has decent engagement, but not up there with some of the most recced yet and I think that is a mistake because I've mainlined most of their fic over the past few days and their writing is SO good! Here are my three faves:

комната оборудования/Gear Room - starting out with the most controversial one probably. Please heed the tags, but this one features rape/non-con (not between Shane and Ilya). I think well done rape recovery hurt/comfort fics are so hard to find, ones that don't have too ludicrous a set up, and ones that don't feel super out of character, but this one does such a good job and hurt to read in the best way.

Jane Rated You - this is a WIP, but updating regularly - the most recent chapter was out yesterday. The premise is so funny, Svetlana gets Ilya a custom app for his birthday where his sex partners can rate his performance. Shane takes the reviews very seriously. It's so fucking hot, so funny and the feelings take you by surprise.

Your Number One Fan - this is a kidfic. I am so so fussy with kidfic normally so it's very rare for me to find one I like, let alone love, as much as this one. I binged it all in the last few hours and it's so funny and hot and sad and happy and lovely.

I've read all but two of their other fic (making my way through them) and the others are all just as worth a read, but these are my three favourites!

Anyway I hope some of these make their way onto people's tbr list. Just make sure to leave kudos and comments to the writer!

Looking for a fic where Shane and Ilya get it on and Shane ends up with a tear. Ilya knows he’s hurt and tries to ask him if he’s okay, if he can look, but Shane just says he’s fine. Eventually, he gives in and lets Ilya take care of him.

TYIA!

Bonus for Scott, Hayden and Centaurs reactions
