#shanehollanderisoverparty
Summary
Twitter discovers Shane's landlord era after his former tenant who is not a hockey fan comes across the fanmail video of them kissing
Notes
An entirely ridiculous crack fic that I wrote in my head at work to get me through the day and have subsequently spent hours working on formatting it correctly. The Twitter workskin template I used was invaluable and this would not have been possible without it. For the best experience enable creators style

Maybe? I know like half of those words… what’s a Hollanov?

Replying to @x_Sophie_x
Hollanov is hockey rivals Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov who recently got outed as being in a relationship in a viral fanmail video filmed by Hollander’s teamate Hayden Pike who accidentally filmed the pair making out in the background

How? How could you possibly have lived in Montreal and not known your landlord was the Metros’ captain?

Girl you literally couldn’t pay me to be interested in hockey. Especially not back then. The last thing baby bisexual me in 2011 wanted to do was get involved in a fandom primarily dominated by cishet white men

Mmmmm this sounds fake to me. I don’t think we should just believe she was allegedly Hollander’s tenant without proof

Replying to @Alex32784
I don’t have proof. And even if I did I wouldn’t be posting it on the internet… believe what you want but I’m not doing it for clout I was literally just confused and asking a question.

Ok because so many people have been flooding my DMs asking questions about this I will make an FAQs thread about my time as Shane Hollander’s tenant and then that’s the end of discussion yes?

"When did you live there?" I’m not giving exact dates but I moved to Montreal at the end of 2011 and left at the end of 2015. This place was baby's first apartment. 1/5

"Is he as nice as he seems on camera?" I haven’t watched any interviews or anything so I don’t know but he was always very sweet when we ran into each other. 2/5

"Was he a good landlord?" He’s certainly the best one I’ve ever had. He didn’t care if the rent was late and he definitely undercharged me for the place. Also he sent me a Christmas card every year including one which read ‘Merry and Gay’ the year I came out because he noticed the pride flag in my window <3 3/5

Ok that Christmas card story is adorable, tell me you have a photo?

Of a Christmas card from 2014? I don’t think so but I do remember sending one to my friend so maybe…? I can have a look

OMG that's even better than I imagined. I can’t believe deeply closeted Shane Hollander was bonding with his baby gay tenant that's so precious

"You didn’t seem shocked about him being gay or about Hollanov?" Not really. I’m not sure if this is oversharing but I saw Rozanov visit his apartment a couple of times and um let’s just say the walls of our apartments weren’t exactly thick so I assumed he was at least queer and maybe in a long distance relationship since Rozanov didn’t visit that often. 4/5

Sorry rewind? You saw Ilya visiting the apartment? When? How often?

Uhh I don’t really remember but some time around 2013 until I moved out, maybe a couple times a year. I guess when he was in town for games would make the most sense?

"How did you not know your landlord was a famous NHL player?" Like I said I really don’t care about hockey so I guess I just blocked it out and his career didn’t exactly come up in casual conversation when I was asking him to get someone in to fix my heating or whatever. 5/5
