Chapter 1

Chapter Notes

The idea for this fic came from a couple of things 1) A conversation I had with a friend about One Direction and Larry Stylinson a couple days ago — what if, at some point in the future, Harry or Louis reveal that one of them was in fact in a secret gay relationship while the band was active—just not with each other; (“Like imagine if the queer couple in question was actually Louis and Zayn or something I’d pay to see the Larry shipper meltdown” “I think the internet might crash worldwide that day”). 2) A conversation I had with a hockey fan friend of mine around the height of the Crosby-Ovechkin rivalry years ago, where I made a enemies-to-lovers joke (completely unseriously) about them,and he told me that if I had to ship Crosby with any other player in the NHL, a teammates-to-lovers arc with Evgeni Malkin made wayyy more sense) This fic was also def influenced by any social media fic that has referenced Shayden as being a competitive ship to Hollanov in the GC/HR universe. Off the top of my head, I’m thinking of #shaydenreal by arenasoundsystem but there’s definitely others too <3 This work is a bit of my own love letter to fandom and fan culture — there's a lot of small references to things throughout the year that I remember being into/were big at the time; I also tried my best not to use 2025 slang in, say 2012, but I don't think I succeeded too well at that. This mostly follows book canon (except where I may have muddled book and show events bc I'll be honest I haven't reread HR fully since 2019) and contains spoilers for The Long Game! See the end of the chapter for more notes October 2012 Hayden Pike reveals he can’t sleep well at night without Shane Hollander in the bed next to him. In an interview, the star hockey player of the Montreal Voyageurs described the toll that communal living for games can take on players’ personal lives. The star discussed his struggles with insomnia over the summer, revealing that it stemmed from no longer sharing a room with fellow Voyageurs teammate and captain Shane Hollander. “On the road, you get so used to living with someone else, you know. And Shane’s such a chill guy roommate too, no snoring or anything. His breathing was honestly like white noise to me—sent me straight to sleep on nights we shared the same room. I genuinely missed it over the summer.” Read more… ____

February 2013 Shayden: The Hockey Conspiracy Theory That Rules the Internet, Explained [...] Hollander and Pike have a very obvious close friendship, easily the closest amongst their teammates, and perhaps, most NHL pairs. Hockey players in general have always enjoyed an easy physical intimacy, owing in part to the physicality of the sport itself, but fans have decided soon after Hollander and Pike joined the Voyageurs as rookies in 2010 that their relationship was special. Indeed, the internet is teeming with Shaydens — as the fans who ship Shayden often refer to themselves — who’ve spent years chronicling every microgesture and millisecond of the way Hollander and Pike interact with each other… Read more… Is Gay Hockey the Newest Frontier for the NHL?

March 2013 Pike, Hollander Shut Down Rumors, Call Popular Fan Theory DISRESPECTFUL In an interview with Hockey in the Crease on Saturday, Star NHL players Shane Hollander and Hayden Pike finally addressed their long-standing relationship rumours. “It’s completely false,” Pike said. “I mean I’ll admit, I think we all thought it was funny at first — funny because it’s so ridiculous that me and Shane of all people could be in a relationship. But now it’s getting out of hand. I have a fiancé who I love dearly, and while she has been an incredible sport about all of this, I think it’s really fucking disrespectful to her to let this shit go on.” Hollander nodded along. “And also honestly it’s really weird?

March 2021 BREAKING NEWS: Video leaked of NHL Superstars Shane Hollander, Ilya Rozanov kissing! Has the rivalry been a lie all this time? Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov release official statements, reveal relationship of “several years” In a joint post published to their official social media accounts… [..] “We know that our relationship will be difficult for a lot of people to accept and understand. We have never let our personal relationship interfere with our competitiveness on the ice, and we believe our career achievements show that very clearly. We’ve always kept personal and professional separate, and we hope our teams, our fans, and the league can do the same.” ____

July 2021 CRAVE: We Sat Down with Shane Hollander & Ilya Rozanov to Discuss Hockey, their Relationship, and the question we've all been wondering about: #Shayden [...] Interviewer: Do you think the existence of Shayden helped paved the way for you two? Did it give you hope that there is a sizable community that would support you were you to come out? Shane: I’ll be honest, no. In fact, it might have made things harder. [He sighs] Despite what a lot of people seem to think, our secrecy actually had very little to do with my sexual orientation. Sure, the NHL isn’t the most LGBT+ friendly organization in the world, as organized sports in general isn’t, but between Scott Hunter’s incredible work with inclusive organizations like Trevor Project and more LGBTQ+ issues coming to mainstream conversations both inside and outside sports, the sexuality piece became much less of a deal than it was when we first started as rookies. I came out to my team a couple of years ago, and it wasn’t too bad. But the whole Shayden thing just terrified me even more because it was yet another way that the world saw me that I would inevitably disappoint my fans. [...] Shane: Ilya is obsessed with the online fanfiction about us for some reason — he loves to read them. I really don't understand the appeal, both from those writing these, uh, works, and also as a reader. He once showed me this one story where Hayden and I have supposedly been in a relationship since our rookie year, and I guess the entire story is about us hiding it through the years. I didn't scroll too far I'll admit [He laughs nervously]. But all of it was scarily similar to the whole, uh, situation with me and Ilya's relationship, and the timeline, and the secrecy. And the parts that I did read, about this fake Shane who comforted this fake Hayden — who can I just say, is one of the most confident and chill guys I know, it's what makes him such a good friend — through panic attacks and spoke pet names in Japanese to him and dreamed about taking him to Tokyo, I was just thinking wow, is this really how they see me? I mean, I don’t even speak Japanese. I've never been to Tokyo, and yeah it would be cool to go, with my heritage and all, but it's not my dream destination, if you know what I mean. And just, this is going to sound so stupid, I apologize in advance, but if there’s anyone getting comforted in any of my relationships, it’s me. Ilya: [laughs] This made me laugh too, when I read. Shane is a beautiful anxious flower of a person. Is why part of why I love him so much. Shane: Yeah exactly. My anxiety is pretty-known among those who know me well. So to see this confident, dominant captain persona that all these fans seemed to project upon me and believe wholeheartedly — I don’t know, it was really weird. It made me feel like revealing my relationship with Ilya, revealing that I’m not the man these hundreds of thousands of people thought I was — would be the end of everything. ____

chae @mintsuga · Jul 17, 2021 hey uh did Shane Hollander just reference oomf’s fic??? 😭 no 1 xiao user @xiaoimpact · Jul 17, 2021 Replying to @mintsuga I can’t tell if this would be my dream as an author or my worst nightmare 😭😭 권순영 @dragonhoshi · Jul 17, 2021 Replying to @mintsuga I think it’s hilarious that the whole 10 year secret relationship thing is true just the wrong guy it’s like @euphoricdreamer is a prophet but read the tea leaves wrong Miles @objectionpng · Jul 17, 2021 Is it bad that now I'm super curious about how Rozanov and Hollander interact when they're alone? Since we lowkey have confirmation Hollander's actually a bottom 🫢 to live for the hope of it all @gayloragenda · Jul 18, 2021 Replying to @objectionpng bro watched the interview with his eyes and ears closed 🔥

Corinne @euphoricdreamer · Jul 19, 2021 Hi everyone, after watching Shane’s recent interviews, I’ve made the decision to delete “my heart is breathing (for this moment in time)" from all platforms. I’ll give people another 24 hours or so to save the fic if they really want to, but I ask that you keep it only for your personal use/don’t redistribute once the fic is gone. (1/4) Corinne @euphoricdreamer · Jul 19, 2021 I’m so grateful (and still baffled) for all the support my work has gotten over the years. MHIB and Shayden has brought me a community unlike I’ve ever had before. I’ve met some of my best friends in fandom and in life through this fic. It's been genuinely life-changing. (2/4) Corinne @euphoricdreamer · Jul 19, 2021 I don’t know for sure if it was my fic Shane was referencing in his interview or another, but either way, I’m deeply saddened by the idea that my work has in anyway made Shane’s coming out journey and his relationship harder than it needed to be. Fanfic is meant to be a way to spread love, and I fear that all I’ve done is made things worse. (3/4) Corinne @euphoricdreamer · Jul 19, 2021 To Shane, Ilya, Hayden, and Jackie, if you see this, I am so sorry for any hurt I have inadvertently caused over the years. I’ve always thought of fanfiction as being a space by fans for fans, and I’ve always written fic with that audience in mind. My fic was never meant to be taken as a representation of who any of you were in real life, and I’m sorry that did not come across clear enough in my work. (4/4)

Ilya Rozanov @Rozanov81 · Jul 20, 2021 Don’t worry. Writing was very good. I understand why it was so popular. Only thing is, Hayden Pike’s dick is 6 inches shorter than you think. Is why he’s so…loud. Overcompensation you see. Corinne @euphoricdreamer · Jul 19, 2021 To Shane, Ilya, Hayden, and Jackie, if you’re seeing this, I am so sorry for any hurt I have I have inadvertently caused over the years.... ____

Chapter End Notes

Some suspensions of disbelief needed for reading: the notion that Shane Hollander would ever read a fanfiction about himself let alone BRING IT UP in an interview but I honestly needed to make this OOC thing happen since the interview scene was a good 30% of my reason for writing the fic As someone who has been in numerous fandoms where RPF is a big thing, I find it fascinating to consider the concept of creators reading about fics that retell their stories in the real world — not, Harry Styles loves Louis Tomlinson in an completely different alternative universe where they're princes or wizards but fics that are supposedly set in our world that claim to portray them “accurately". I think for Shane, reading a fic that retells his supposed love story with Hayden would be SUCH a psychologically distressing experience, in part bc of how similar that story is to him and Ilya's story! The fact that there are people who imagine him as a gay hockey player, but they fundamentally see him as a top, or as this responsible captain who could still never fall in love w a supposed asshole like Ilya Rozanov. It's psychologially disorienting to be faced with the gap between how you perceive yourself and how the world perceives you! Sorry I could go on and on about this but I guess ultimate point really is the l’enfer c’est les autres / hell is other people and their gazes of it all. Shoutout to Larry Stylinson as an institution for providing so much fodder for this fic. I think there are some headlines and sentences here that I took near word for word based on irl news reporting (pretty much all the Euphoria headlines) and fan remarks on Larry Stylinson. To be clear, this work really isn't meant to be derogatory towards Larry or RPF shippers in general — I've loved and adored many an RPF fic myself. I think we can enjoy things like RPF and acknowledge that fans often cross a line they shouldn’t with it, and be nuanced in our discussions surrounding it :) Dan & Phil’s relationship reveal vid earlier this year is good for further ruminations on this topic All usernames in this fic, twitter or ao3 or otherwise, are fake!! If I accidentally recreated your username and you want me to change it lmk 😭 I tried to be accurate with the general book timeline of events but please let me know if you note any glaring errors! there's a lot more I would have loved to have added here so maybe sequel or extra chapter sometime for overflow material lol Anyway thanks for reading <3 I haven't written a fic in almost 5 years, so it's kinda crazy to be posting after so long. Maybe more HR fics coming in the future? EDIT: so so so thankful for all the love this work has received and shoutout to everyone who caught my references. so dearly appreciate all the support, and there'll probably be more added to this universe once im a bit less busy!

Chapter 2

Chapter Summary yuzuru landed his first quad!!!! @yuzurusiceskates · Feb 10, 2022 it’s so fucked up that fans immediately decided the russian guy is the top and the asian guy is the bottom…you’re all playing into ethnic stereotypes i fear player 451 @dalgonadreams · Feb 9, 2022 am i the only one tired asf of hollanov top/bottom discourse?? like verses exist!! stop trying to push queer men into your weird heteronormative dynamics huddie @inglorpiousbasterd · Feb 12, 2022 breaking news shayden shippers more woke than hollanov (the asian guy topped the white guy for once)

Chapter Notes

This second chapter was supposed to be mostly expansions of things from the first chapter that either got cut out or ppl wanted me to expand more on…and then i wrote another 8.5k of made up fandom discourse...part of the reason I wanted to write this is bc I felt bad that Hollanov got sidelined in their own fic so there's a lot more of them this chapter! I thought coming up w usernames would be easier this time around considering I could just reuse everything from the first chapter and then I realized the massive timeskips I did mean like 70% of those ppl would probably be inactive after a couple of years…it was fun though to integrate more recent real world stuff into the usernames — you guys will not believe the number of times i looked up [[insert media] release date] to make sure that thing had come out at that point Major ty to deadmemewalking for being the bestest beta You can tell we've reached 2020s twitter bc suddenly everyone is typing lowercase and overusing the crying emojis lol See the end of the chapter for more notes March 2021

my heart is beating (for this moment in time) - Chapter 9 - euphoricdreamer - Men’s Hockey RPF [Archive of Our Own] Shane sets his jaw, face taut. “How was it?” The other man’s stance is stiff, his expression chilled. He’s pointedly glancing away from Hayden as if– as if he can’t bear to look at him. Hayden doesn’t know what will slowly kill him sooner, the seconds that Shane spends looking away, or the seconds that will countdown after he does. “What?” Hayden whispers, looking up at him from the bed. “How was it? Fucking her?” Shane turns to look at him, a snide slant to his lips that Hayden has never seen before on his sunshine, golden captain, and he– he doesn’t know what to do. Doesn’t know what he can do, to make this better. He wants to turn back time, to the Hayden who Shane loved, the Hayden that Shane would never look at like this. The Hayden that would never betray Shane by sleeping with another woman. Even if, Hayden thinks mulishly to himself, it was technically allowed under their arrangement. Never once had they promised exclusivity to each other. But it’s like Jackie had told him, lying naked in the bed next to him, cigarette in her fingers, looking wickedly beautiful in the moonlight streaming in through the window. Unbearably gorgeous, and yet somehow not someone he really, truly wanted. With stuff like this, it doesn’t really matter whether or not it was actually cheating, y’know. We could play the Ross-Rachel-we-were-on-a-break game all day long until our hearts give out. The real question is, did it feel like cheating? And the truth, Hayden knows, staring at the man he loved who refused to look at him, is that it did. The whole time he was inside her, on top of her, surrounded by her, he couldn't stop thinking of Shane. Of his face if he could see what was happening right now. Horribly, it was that image in part that spurned him on. He wanted Shane to know what was happening, to feel the same heartbreak Hayden felt like he swallowed down every week, sharing a hotel and locker room together, but never a life or future. Shane sighs, and then looks away again, at the window, gaze boring into the New York skyline like he wishes he could be anywhere but here. Hayden has never felt smaller in his life than he does at this moment. “Hands and knees.” Shane says. “What?” “You heard me. Hands and knees, Pike, or I’m walking out of this hotel room right now.” Hayden struggles to obey quickly, legs trembling as he gets into position, waiting to feel Shane’s touch on his body, those large, yet gentle hands on his hips. His cock in his ass. And that touch comes. Just not the way he expects. Spank! Hayden’s entire body jostles at the unexpected crack, the sound hitting him before the pain does — his left cheek suddenly tender and burning with the force of Shane’s sudden slap. Hayden falls face-forward, his arms giving out as he whines in confusion. “Here’s the deal,” Shane says, “One spank for every time you let her touch you. If you get to 20 like a good boy, maybe I’ll fuck you like you deserve.” Hayden squirms inadvertently, but at some level he’s relieved. This, at least, he understands. This is just another part of their game, a game that started all those years ago in their rookie season, when golden boy Shane Hollander first caught Hayden watching something he shouldn’t have on his computer, and reacted not with the disgust Hayden deserved, but with intrigue. With lust. Maybe after this, Shane will forgive him for what he’s done. ___

August 2021 back from afk (maybe) @hollapikerstrike · Aug 5, 2021 sorry for the afk. and before you ask, no it wasn’t because of everything that happened. despite what a lot of you all seem to think, i do in fact have a life outside this website. the last few months have been hectic for a couple of reasons, not least in part because i finally graduated! back from afk (maybe) @hollapikerstrike · Aug 5, 2021 Replying to @hollapikerstrike i do think there’s a lot to the story we’re not hearing. like…sorry am i the only person who thinks it’s...convenient...that it was hayden of all people who took the kissing video? why would shane “hates pda” hollander be kissing another man in front of his best friend?? and why did brad or whoever tf posted the leak only make his account an hour before? a lot of you seem to taking this as the final nail in the coffin for shayden when it only raises more questions lol back from afk (maybe) @hollapikerstrike · Aug 5, 2021 Replying to @hollapikerstrike that all being said, i’m not actually a crazy bitch like a lot of you seem to think. jackie pike as a coverup for shayden makes sense. ilya rozanov doesn’t. and there’s no way the voyageurs would fuck themselves over like this w this trade unless they actually thought shane was sabotaging (he wasn’t I can tell you that), which really only makes sense if he’s really w rozanov. if the wedding really was real, i wish shane and rozanov all the best. back from afk (maybe) @hollapikerstrike · Aug 5, 2021 Replying to @hollapikerstrike now the question everyone’s been wondering. what happens to this account? short answer: not sure yet! my dms over the past few months have been absolutely flooded w hate, which makes me want to delete. on the other hand, this has been my blog for almost a decade now, and i don’t want to let it go just bc some of you guys don’t remember there’s a real person behind these tweets. so i’ll stay on here for now and we’ll see from here back from afk (maybe) @hollapikerstrike · Aug 5, 2021 Replying to @hollapikerstrike final thoughts on shayden: i think the honest truth that all of us shaydens can admit to ourselves, especially now, maybe, is that shayden was far more for us than it was for shane or hayden irl. it was a space that us hockey fans, many of us fem or queer, carved out for ourselves within one of the most lgbt-hostile fanbases that exist.it was a space where we could imagine the at-the-time completely unbelievable reality that professional hockey could have two male queer superstar players in love. for many, it was their first introduction to queer fandom. a space where queer love thrived. back from afk (maybe) @hollapikerstrike · Aug 5, 2021 Replying to @hollapikerstrike so no, I don’t regret being a shayden. bc quite honestly, i think the global support shane and rozanov got wouldn’t have the same if shayden hadn’t already helped normalize the existence of queer love in hockey. that all being said, i think for obvious reasons i won’t be posting joint shayden content now. i’ll keep posting shane and hayden content individually, because they're still my two favorite hockey players. thanks again guys back from afk (maybe) @hollapikerstrike · Aug 5, 2021 Replying to @hollapikerstrike also fuck the montreal voyageurs!!

willow ⁸ ¹ @ridingforcentaurs · Aug 6, 2021 i like how this whole thread is a whole lot of nothing. like tl;dr for people who don’t want to waste their times 1) i graduated 2) shayden could still be real 3) but also shayden doesn’t make sense 4) im not going to delete my account 5) shayden literally invented gay people and hayden pike threw the first puck at stonewall. you’re all welcome for that back from afk (maybe) @hollapikerstrike · Aug 5, 2021 sorry for the afk. and before you ask, no it wasn’t because of the hollanov hard launch. despite what a lot of you all seem to think, i do in fact have a life outside this website. the last few months have been hectic for a couple of reasons, not least in part because i finally graduated! a whole real world adult now. everyday means everyday @w3iwuxian · Aug 6, 2021 Replying to @ridingforcentaurs the thing is as a former shayden shipper i do think some of what she said is kinda right like shayden WAS an important space for queer fans within hockey! but the rest….yikes!

Jane: Like what you were reading a few weeks ago Lily: I read many things Shane, you must be more specific Jane: I know you know what I mean. Lily: Do I ever wish you were more dominant, is what you want to ask? Lily: No, not really Lily: Or let me put another way Lily: If you wish to be more dominant we can discuss this, like we have done with everything else with sex. I love talking sex with you. Communication is good. But how we are now, the way I tell you to get on hands and knees and you get on your hands and knees, I am very happy with this. So happy. The last sight I hope to see before I die is Shane Hollander on his hands and knees for me. Jane: …That was so weirdly romantic and then you had to ruin it Jane: Please don’t joke about your death. Jane: Also that’s Shane Hollander-Rozanov to you ❤ Lily: ❤❤❤ Jane: Do you want to update our list tonight maybe? Together? Maybe there are other new things we can reconsider Lily: Of course!

September 2021 SportsBar: An EXCLUSIVE with Hayden Pike [...] Interviewer: How did finding out make you reflect back on Shayden? Hayden: Huh? What do you mean? Interviewer: Well there are some who say that Hollander officially coming out makes Shayden make sense now, because fans were picking up on something that was there. Maybe not something mutual, but… Hayden: I- I’m sorry. Are you in 2021, asking me if I think Shane was in love with me? How many times do I need to answer this question in this life? I thought the whole FanMail thing, of all things, would have put an end to this. Interviewer: Well– Hayden: Sorry, not to be rude. But all those years that everyone was convinced Shane was in love with me and sneaking around, or whatever, Shane was actually sneaking around. With his now husband. With the guy who, for better or for worse, is now godparent to one of my kids. You guys think you know what Heart Eyes Hollander or whatever the fuck you call it looks like? I’ve seen that look firsthand, since our fucking rookie season, every time we played in Boston or Rozanov played in Montreal. And trust me, I know what it looks like when you’re actually in love, because unlike all the teenagers who’ve been nosy about Shane and I for decades, I’m happily married to the love of my life. And thankfully, my best friend is too. ___

Rozanov-H: My love is also 45 years old 😭😭 Hollander-R: Fuck off Barrett: @Rozanov You want to be young and hip with the kids so bad Bood: Wait wait I want to know what a situationship is so I can make fun of them for it Dykstra: I looked it up it seems to just be? friends with benefits? am I stupid? Boyle: Ugh why do we have to have all these new-fangled terms for things there’s no need to reinvent the wheel every few years Barrett: No a situationship isn’t quite friends with benefits Young: it’s like you’re dating but you didn’t put a name on the relationship Hollander-R: Well I don’t know if dating is quite an accurate description for a lot of those years Holmberg: no no no you’re describing it wrong Young Haas: i agree Haas: situationship is like. you’re together in the moment. it’s usually sexual but not necessarily. you avoid all conversations about the future and whatever is going on. in fact, neither of you are sure of what’s going on. but you’re too scared to ask so you kind of just continue. there’s no label. inconsistent contact. last minute plans to hook up. sometimes they get cancelled and you’re like what. you don’t know their friends really. they don’t know yours. you know you like each other but…it’s complicated. Holmberg: omfg spoken like someone’s who’s seen the absolute DEPTHS of the trenches Young: dude wtf happened to you??? 😭 Haas: I was in a situation like this my last year of school…very unpleasant Hollander-R: …Yeah that’s a pretty accurate description of what 2010 through 2016 was like Rozanov-H: I think it’s romantic. Our story should give hope to people Rozanov-H: You too can lock down a sexy uncommitted hockey player with freckles if you feed him enough ginger ale and tuna melts 😌😏 Bood: Awww Dykstra: Why tuna melts of all sandwiches??? they’re like the least romantic sandwich 🤢 ___

Harris: Working for Centaurs social media is so fun because somehow half of twitter is now convinced Shane and Ilya were in an ethical non-monogamous relationship in the early 2010s Troy: What Troy: I don’t even know what that means? Harris: I’m completely unsurprised Troy: Just looked it up Troy: So, what, they were dating other people? Harris: Kind of yeah Troy: I mean Ilya and Shane weren’t exclusive then so that’s not wrong I guess Harris: I just don’t know if they would call that ethical non-monogamy as much as friends with benefits Troy: Hey you never know Troy: I feel like I learn a new queer culture term every time I step foot into Kingfisher Harris: I just don’t think there’s a single hockey player in existence who has ever heard of or thought about the phrase “ethical non-monogamy” Harris: Including the gay ones Harris: Case in point… ^^ Troy: Hey! ___

November 2021 Ottawa Centaurs 🏒🥅 ‼ Hollander-R: So why is our ship name Hollanov when me and Hayden’s was Shayden? How do you decide how to combine the names? Barrett: ??? Hollander-R: Oh sorry guys I meant to send that to Ilya Hayes: Well actually that’s a great question Shane! It all goes back to the history of how “shipping” came to be and it differs by region! So in Eastern fandoms, such as anime for example, it’s common to tag ships by putting the character who is the “top” first and then the bottom. So in Naruto for example, if you shipped Naruto and Sasuke and you thought Sasuke was the top, you would say you shipped SasuNaru. If you thought Naruto was the top, you shipped NaruSasu. And in the West, it was the convention for the longest time— ___

Hayes: So tl;dr the construction of shipping names is actually a pretty complex thing! Barrett: Wait, people ship Naruto and Sasuke? Hollander-R: Oh I see that. They kissed a couple times in the series too right. Bood: I’m sorry Hollzy let me get this straight. You don’t know Rihanna but you know Naruto? Hollander-R: I was a half-Japanese kid growing up in North America in the 2000s. I was forced to know what Naruto was. Bood: Oh shit. Point taken Rozanov-H: What is Naruto? Is this one of your nerdy comics, Wyatt? Hayes: Hey! LaPointe: Wow, a pop culture reference Hollzy knows and Roz doesn’t? Is the world ending? Rozanov-H: Oh just looked it up. Actually I have seen this show before. Many children in Russia watched this growing up. Rozanov-H: The ugly blonde boy with the whiskers? He is gay? Barrett: I wish I could leak what conversations are like in this chat but I don’t think anyone would believe me Dykstra: And your boyfriend would kill you Barrett: Well yes that too ___

Rozanov-H: Wait, if our ship name is Hollanov and person who tops goes first, does this mean people think Shane is my top? Hollander-R: Aren’t you supposed to be walking our dog right now? Hollander-R: And what’s the problem with people thinking I top? Rozanov-H: …I need to go water my Anya. Young: lmao Hayes: @Roz Answer to your question is that fan culture has become a lot more casual with this stuff nowadays, so I honestly think whoever constructed the name just thought it sounded good. Better than Shilya or Ilane or something Rozanov-H: It is a very good ship name. Much better than ugly ugly Shayden 🤢🤮 Hollander-R: Agreed ___

layla | postcolonially hungover @soulayla · Feb 14, 2022 not to put my liberal arts college academia hat (™) on for the whole hollanov dynamics discourse but imo the biggest influence is less so shane being asian than ilya being russian. like shane is my prince of wasia fr but i feel like the nhl/media often whitewashes him bc of the w before the asian (have a whole thread on this in my pinned) (1/2) layla | postcolonially hungover @soulayla · Feb 14, 2022 Replying to @soulayla whereas rozanov just comes off to people as super russian. like he brings up russia often. obviously he has an accent. he has that ugly ass tattoo. he mentions vodka? a lot? alongside his presentation of a certain sexy dominant eastern european masculinity, people just read him as really russian (yes it’s very xenophobic-coded).(2/3) layla | postcolonially hungover @soulayla · Feb 14, 2022 Replying to @soulayla meanwhile shane and hayden (don’t get me wrong i like them) are just kinda white bread canadian men in that way. clean personas as far as most nhl players go too. so im not surprised people look at the combo of shane and ilya and think, ohhh ofc the russian guy tops. whereas with shayden it’s. ohhh this could go either way maybe (3/3) will @willgrahamrp · Feb 14, 2022 Replying to @soulayla i think rozanov bottoms bc he is slavic and evil and bottoms are always evil layla | postcolonially hungover @soulayla · Feb 14, 2022 Replying to @willgrahamrp oh! ok i guess ___

Post-Game Interview with the Ottawa Centaurs, Sports Daily Interviewer: Mr. Hollander, what do you have to say to the people online who think you should have married an Asian man? Shane: Excuse me? Interviewer: There’s a lot of people online who think your relationship with Rozanov implies a desire for “proximity to whiteness”… Shane: I don’t think— Ilya: Sorry, is my husband not half-white? Interviewer: Mr Rozanov, I was asking Mr. Hollander— Ilya: We hyphenated. Please remember this. And I think maybe I should take this question, since you talk about me. [He glances at Shane. Shane nods, briefly.] So please, let me clarify. If I was Asian — this is possible in Russia by the way, many Asians live in Russia, perhaps stupid Westerners do not know this — you would be standing here before me asking why my husband has not married white man, no? Interviewer: I didn’t mean— Ilya: My husband is mixed, there is no fair way for him to answer this question. Both ways, you will ask him, so why you did not marry the other one. Is very unfair I think. Interviewer: I— Ilya: Your question is very stupid. And any European watching this, or anyone outside this silly continent, in fact, knows it is very stupid. What is proximity to whiteness? My husband’s family is Canadian. I am Russian. There is culture gap simply because of that. If I woke up in a nightmare tomorrow and I am married to mr white man Hayden Pike, same culture gap would exist. Because Russian culture is very different to whatever you people think white culture is. So to answer your stupid little question, no, I do not think my husband marrying me or learning Russian for me or cooking Russian dishes for me is assimilating. ___

Lily: What Lily: Marlzy Lily: My old teammate from Boston Lily: Who got fined in 2015 for yelling that he wants to drown his face in Boston pussy Lily: You think I slept with this Marlzy? Jane: I mean that doesn’t say anything about his heterosexuality Mr. “Told everyone at All- Stars 2012 you love tits and ass” Lily: Wow you remember that 10 years later ok stalker Lily: Actually there’s a big difference. Everyone has tits and ass, no matter gender. I was being very bisexual when I said this. Not everyone has pussy. Some men do, maybe, but I don’t think Marlzy is into them. Because he is straight Jane: I’m just surprised you two never did anything like that with how, uh, active you were. It’s not that uncommon for two guy friends to have a threesome with the same girl? Lily: Well threesome with same girl is not the same as fucking. But no, I never had threesome with another man. If word got out, even if me and him did not touch really, it would have been dangerous. Media would have asked questions. Russian media would have asked questions Jane: Makes sense. Got it. Lily: But this questioning is scaring me. Are you asking because you want to have threesome with Marlow? Jane: Yes. However did you know? Lily: 😨 Jane: I think I should hit him up right now in fact.

July 2022

CRAVE: An Exclusive with Hayden and Jackie Pike, on Family, WAG Life, Hockey, and #Hollanov [...] Interviewer: I’m sorry to ask about this Jackie, and I swear this is the only time in the interview I’ll bring this up. But there’s been a lot of greater conversation right now about shipping culture and what people call “RPF”. So I have to ask: How did you and Ilya Rozanov feel about the whole Shayden thing? Jackie: This might sound surprising to some people, but I honestly never took it too seriously. I mean, did it bother me that a significant portion of the internet thought I was a beard for my own husband, or that our children were actually dolls? Of course it did. But I think Hayden and Shane felt a lot worse about the whole thing than I did. I think Ilya and I found it more funny than everything Hayden: Oh Rozanov thought it was hilarious. Interviewer: Really? Jackie: [Laughs] Oh yeah. I remember when the Euphoria episode with the scene of them having sex came out. Ilya Facetimed me so we could watch it on call together. I was cracking up. [Laughs again] Hayden: I’m so grateful Jackie was as cool with all of it as she was. There were honestly moments during the 2013-2014 season where I wondered if I should try to break my contract and move to a different team or something just to let the whole Shayden thing die out. It would’ve sucked to leave Shane and the guys and everything but fans then really were crazy. Honestly, much more crazy than people are now, believe it or not. Jackie: I think the whole thing is a lot easier for me and Ilya because we’re so sidelined from this conversation. Well I guess Ilya was non-existent in the conversation until recently. But unlike Shane or Hayden, who suddenly had to start monitoring their interactions in public together or got asked about it in the press constantly, I didn’t really have anything to hide or prove to these people. Hayden: Well technically Rozanov had a lot to hide in that sense [Jackie elbows him].

Chapter End Notes

EDIT: A lot of ppl seem interested in the fake hollanov fics in this chapter! i do have some ideas for one of them idk if i'll get around to it anytime soon. but either way if anyone wants to write a fic inspired by or directed based on the summaries you have my blanket permission! just lmk when you publish so i have a chance to read it too :) I'm making this into a series bc there's some stuff referenced here I would love to elaborate on/write about in a non-socmed focused format (particularly the wasian/white x asian couple discourse which I have a LOT of thoughts on both at the meta level of rachel reid choosing to make 1/2 of her POC protags wasian and in an in-universe sense of shane's relationship to his race); if you're interested in that at all feel free to subscribe or bookmark! Also to clarify, I know there's been weird discourse on hr twitter in the past couple of weeks about hudson and connor and their relationships and lack thereof and ethical non- monogamy but i need u all to know i wrote those tweets like. literally december 24th. so maybe reality imitates fiction here and im the reason that discourse started #sorry click here for some fun facts/mini commentary of different things in this chapter Anyway tysm for reading! I truly didn't expect this to get the love that it did and I'm so so grateful for all your comments from last chapter <3 I'm so glad people thought the glass dildos line was funny bc I was rlly proud when I wrote it 😭 I don't think this chapter is quite as good as the first but I hope people still have fun with it — the references this time around were especially fun to do bc of how recent they are, so please feel free to note any you caught/liked in particular! As always, please feel free to lmk if you caught any errors of any kind! There are some purposeful errors throughout the fic (like the fic that mentions shane and ilya meeting in 2009 at the nhl draft) that stem from this being an outsider pov — a lot of fans wouldn't know about their 2008 prospect cup meeting! The fic is marked as complete for now but I'd originally intended it to be a one-shot anyway so never say never re: another chapter I guess. my tumblr if you'd like to share further thoughts <3 Please drop by the Archive and comment to let the creator know if you enjoyed their work!
