Today must have been national 'Ilya talks all day long' day because from the moment they woke up, his husband had yapped his ear off to the point that Shane with all the love in the world playfully suggested that his husband talk their pup's ears off. Except there was just one problem with that — she was still in his belly (lucky girl). Ilya took that as a literal challenge as he normally would so it wasn't that outlandish that he had started talking to his belly…about everything. Everything.

shane hollander, solo parent connoisseur by hollanov_1410
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
2026-04-13
Ilya's smile widened. He started fumbling with the buttons on his shirt with one hand, squinting down at them. "Please don't strip in front of this bar." "'s too hot," he muttered. "Stupid humid Florida. Was nice in the morning. Now I miss my dreary Canada." "Well, don't worry. It's waiting for you. All 10 degrees of it." "With you there, you make it 10 degrees hotter." He tried for a wink. It didn't fully land. Shane really wanted to kiss him. "Okay, Romeo." Ilya is out of town celebrating Svetlana's birthday, leaving Shane to parent the kids by himself for the weekend. How hard can it be.

Shane liked to think he wasn't difficult. He was actually rather agreeable given his circumstances — those circumstances being that he was as round as a beach ball and that he couldn't exactly help that his shoes wouldn't fit so that he couldn't go with his alpha to pick up their to-go order at their favorite pizzeria down the street. That was okay…yeah, he didn't really need to get out of the house anyways. He had gotten enough fresh air and sunshine earlier when he was walking Anya down the street. That was when his feet weren't made of literal rising dough. There were no shoes that fit— he had tried. And if he didn't have a fried stick of cheese in his hand in about five more seconds he was going to either cry or possibly shove his swollen feet in his bright yellow crocs and trudge down the street to retrieve them himself. The bad part is, it was such a niche craving that they could have really ordered anywhere but the thing was he wanted it now. Or the one where Shane really craves one thing.

"Aren't I so lucky," he said, tilting his head back to look up at Shane. "I have very sexy cougar as my husband." "We're the same age," Shane reminded him, thumb tracing Ilya's jaw. "Not true." Ilya shifted forward on his knees until he was settled between Shane's legs, his hands coming up to cup Shane's stomach. "For the next month, I have a sugar daddy." Shane laughed. "So now I'm some old man buying you gifts?" "Well," Ilya said, pressing a kiss to the curve of Shane's stomach through his shirt. Then another. "You are old man. And you are giving me the most precious gift of all. So yes. Is accurate, I would say." 5 times Ilya and their kids took care of Shane throughout his pregnancy, and 1 time they were reminded just how stubborn Shane Hollander can be.

“What were you doing?” “Oh.” A sweet flush colours Shane’s freckled cheeks, and his fingers twitch where they’re still resting on Ilya’s back. “I was just tracing your moles.” Ilya is going to die. His heart is actually going to give out on him because of this sweet, perfect man who he loves more than he knows what to do with. Who he loves more than anything in this entire world.

it's friday, i'm in love by hollanov_1410
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
2026-03-20
There were many things about Shane's upbringing in Canada that Ilya found hard to understand. Like why he insisted on hiking into the brush to find the "perfect" marshmallow sticks for a bonfire. To Ilya, it seemed like a lot of unnecessary effort and a high risk of mosquito bites when they could just buy a pack of skewers and be done with it. But, like with everything that came with Shane Hollander, Ilya had learned to love it. And now here he was, years later, the one leading Shane and their kids through the woods behind the cottage on this warm summer evening. Or, Shane and Ilya take their kids on a weekend getaway to the cottage.

Shane could make out a blurry picture of the lake and one small dot that he assumed was the elusive loon. "Wow, yeah that's definitely a loon," He smiled, inspecting the picture with a thought forming in his brain. "You know, your papa is actually is afraid of them." "Of the loon? No, no papa has ta-two of loon he can not be a-scared of it." Sofia insisted, shaking her head because there was no way on earth that her papa could be so scared of something on his arm. That would just be terrible. Or the one where Sofia learns how to do a loon call.

“You know, one day you’re gonna meet someone you love so much you’ll want to toss all your stupid rules out the window just to be around them,” Jessica told him the day they broke up.
God, Shane remembers thinking. I fucking hope not.

i’ve been afraid of changing, ‘cause i’ve built my life around you by Anonymous

2026-03-10
Shane’s thoughts feel dangerous. Or - not dangerous, exactly, but really fucking scary. The kind of thoughts that used to have him bolting upright in the middle of the night, his skin drenched with cold sweat at the mere prospect of such a thing.
But now…now Shane thinks it’s time.
“I think this is my last season,” he whispers, voice faltering over the words he’s never said aloud before.

dropping like flies by hollanov_1410
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
2026-03-09
Shane came through the door with four cases of Pedialyte stacked in his arms. Ilya had asked him to pick up one on the way home. One. "Last time Niko had the flu, he liked the grape one best," Shane said, studying the cases with his brow furrowed. "But that was over a year ago. And his favorite Gatorade flavor right now is lemon-lime, so I figured it'd be safer just to get a variety pack—" Ilya stood beside him and watched him unload the cases. There were times—many times —when Ilya's feeling of endearment toward Shane was so overwhelming, so consuming, that the only way he could describe it was that he wanted to crawl inside his skin and live there. He settled for stepping in close and pressing a kiss to Shane's temple instead. Or, The flu sweeps through the Hollander–Rozanov household. Just as Shane thinks he's the last man standing, he goes down hard.

just grab my hand and don’t ever drop it, my love by Anonymous
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid

He feels fizzy, fizzy, fizzy, like a soda can that’s been shaken and cracked open. There’s so much pressure building inside his chest that he can’t possibly keep it all inside. He laughs, just a quiet giggle at first, and then it becomes something louder. Something brighter. Something that bursts out of his chest and cracks through the echoing silence in the bathroom. He has to cover his mouth with his hand to stifle it.
Shane feels happy. Truly, deep down to his bones, happy.
He almost can’t believe it.
(Or, the first night at the cottage.)

It was a funny story now when it came to telling the story of how their second child came to be. Shane's first pregnancy was…something. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't exactly a walk in the park and postpartum was rocky so when it boiled down to the question of — will there be another? The answer was always a really really soft no. Or the story of how Shane and Ilya baby trapped each other with baby number two.

"When did you guys fall in love?" "Guys," their teacher warned. "That's not a question about their careers." Ilya was already looking at him when Shane glanced over, wearing that stupidly fond smile. Shane felt his own lips twitch in response before he could help it. "Is very good question, actually," Ilya announced to the room. "Hard to say exact moment." He tilted his head. "But pretty fast, I think." Shane's chest clenched. The classroom full of nine-year-olds dissolved. Max's mortification somewhere in the background didn't register. For a moment, Shane was seventeen years old again, watching Ilya Rozanov highlights for the tenth time that week and running out of ways to explain why. "Yeah," Shane said, voice catching slightly. "Pretty fast." Shane and Ilya attend career day at their son's elementary school. It ends with Shane going off on another parent and embarrassing their son.

Ilya was looking away from the garden, away from their daughter, and at him. It was his full, unmediated attention that Shane had spent years learning to receive without deflecting, which he had never mastered and probably never would. It was a great deal of attention. It had always been. [...] "She is like you," Ilya said, into his hair. "In here." Shane felt, rather than saw, the gesture—Ilya pressing a hand briefly to his own chest. "The way you were." "I wasn't—" "Да, детка.You were." Shane huffed out a breath, and Ilya squeezed the side of his stomach with amused affection. “When I was trying to find you, you were just like this: present and also somewhere very far away, so careful with everything, and impossible to reach unless you wanted to be." A pause. "It took time. You needed time, a lot of it, and I had to trust that. And eventually, I found you.” His voice lowered, guttural. "And I will always find you." ⋆ ilya, shane, & their middle daughter—as seen by each other.

Ilya Rozanov had no idea it was possible to be so unbearably happy in February. It was objectively the worst month of the year between the terrible weather and the exhaustion of the mid-season grind, but as he sat next to his husband on a plane to Columbus in the middle of their two week roadie, he felt almost giddy. They were cuddled together watching the latest Fast and the Furious movie (they were somehow going to space, but also the ocean floor? He had been too busy staring at his husband’s freckles framing his glasses to focus, sue him).
OR
Shane bonds with the team in his first season with the Centaurs, and Ilya has FeelingsTM about it.

The buzzing on his nightstand had Shane rummaging around sleepily to find his phone lit up in the darkness of the room. He didn't think too much other than Ilya probably wanted to Face time which would've been fine except it was 12 am? "Shane, do not panic." Or Sofia's first fever, Shane is on a roadtrip and Ilya has to figure out what to do.

"You are calling your sister liar?" he asked. "On her recital day? On International Women's Day?" Niko just glared at him, while Max snickered behind the pages of his book. "Everyone has a mad voice," Ilya said wisely, reaching for a fresh bobby pin. He gathered up the loose strand that had slipped free and started over, completely unruffled by the looming deadline. "You get yours from your dad." "I don't have a mad voice." The statement came from the doorway. Shane stood there holding Mila's tiny pink cardigan—the one with the pearl buttons that perfectly matched her leotard—draped over one arm. He was fully dressed now, ready to go. White dress shirt tucked in, navy tie perfectly straight, the silver tie clip Ilya had given him years back catching the morning light streaming through the window. Nobody responded. They all knew better. Or, Ilya and Shane's daughter's first ballet recital happens to fall on International Women's Day. A holiday that Ilya takes very seriously.

Shane’s preferences are simple: older, rougher, married men who lie to their wives and gone before morning.
Ilya Rozanov is nineteen, Russian, and already moving into his dorm.
Cue in covert hookups, stupidly questionable life choices, and a rookie who stares at Shane like he’s a particularly fascinating bug under a microscope.
Now he has to explain why he keeps getting texts from "Mr. Chicago" while trying to teach this kid how to use the campus laundry without melting his sweaters.
Campus life promised new experiences. It failed to mention the experience of being psychologically dissected over instant ramen by a stupidly handsome blond Russian who hasn't blinked in seven minutes.
This fic is finished! You can binge-read it now 😁
