    Summary

    as reaction to David Hollander's tweet about books he mentioned over time, Ilya decides to make his statement (because remind we when he could stop from doing it) and post his opinion.
    poor Shane, but Harris is even poorer (because Shane Hollander is a menace too), everyone else is having fun. well, maybe not people who got offended by Ilya, but when did he care?

    Summary

    Everybody thinks hockey players are stupid. Having an accent certainly doesn’t help.

    Ilya Rozanov never bothered correcting people, but it wasn’t his job to fit their expectations either.
    He wasn’t hiding it, it just wasn’t important, and he wasn’t the type to show off (oh, Shane would laugh at that, but for this specific aspect it was true).

    It just never came up. Until it did.

    Summary

    Ilya leans forward in his chair, deliberately, to put his mouth right next to the microphone.

    “Oh wow,” Ilya says brightly. His Russian accent is thicker than usual. “Drapeau must be trying so hard to seduce me. But I am sorry, I am already taken. A one man man, I am.”

    Summary

    “Should call you the Ottawa Puppies,” says the Toronto centre, Svensson. As an insult it makes no sense, so Ilya ignores it, until he continues, “Hear Hollander keeps you on a short leash.”

    Ilya is the captain, so if anything, he should be holding the leash. In English, you can be singular or plural, but he knows what Svensson is trying to say. He is saying Ilya Rozanov, you are Hollander’s bitch.

    “Only sometimes,” Ilya replies, grinning. He wins the face off.

    OR: Ilya trains himself to be a very, very good guard dog for Shane.

    Summary

    “Go?” Rozanov repeats, and Shane thinks he manages to nod, thinks he manages to spin some kind of excuse that he knows Rozanov doesn’t really buy, but he needs to go. He needs to get out of here. He needs to find somewhere quiet and calm where he can ride out this panic and painful tightness until he can catch his breath again. He needs-

    He needs to go.

    “I’m sorry,” he says, turning heel and resisting the urge to just book it right for the front door only because he’d rather not have to explain to Hayden why he returned from a hookup with Boston Lily in men’s clothes that he certainly didn’t leave in.

    It’s not until he makes it halfway up the stairs to Rozanov’s bedroom that it occurs to him in a cold rush that it isn’t just anxiety that makes it this hard to breathe.

    “No,” he tells himself firmly, white knuckling the bannister and trying to take a deep breath just to prove that he can.

    It wheezes.

    Summary

    Ilya refuses to cancel dinner with Shane's parents, terrified that showing weakness will make them think he is lazy, broken, or a disappointment. But when a severe depressive episode causes his hands to shake, he accidentally drops a crystal water glass.

    The sound of the shattering glass triggers a violent childhood trauma, sending Ilya into a full-blown, terrifying panic attack on the dining room floor as he frantically tries to clean up the mess before he gets hit.

    Summary

    As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.

    So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.

    (He’s jealous.)

    Summary

    Before he could press his chest against Ilya’s back, Ilya reached back without rolling over, placed a hand on Shane’s chest, and firmly pushed him away.
    Shane froze completely and his mind went blank for a split second before a thousand simultaneous thoughts crashed in on him.

    OR
    Shane arrives at Ilya's house in Boston the fall after they begin their official relationship. Ilya won't let Shane near him and won't talk to him. It feels like Vegas all over again, but Shane won't leave without an explanation this time.

    Summary

    “I wasn’t consciously trying to…” he gestured vaguely toward the bedroom. “I got kinda freaked out.”

    Rozanov hummed thoughtfully. “I know. Was… a lot.” He pressed his lips together and looked toward the floor as a heavy silence hung between them for a few seconds. “You are okay now?” he finally asked, the lightness in his tone betrayed by a tremble on the word “okay.”

    Shane's panic doesn't drive him out of Ilya's house that day.

    Summary

    And then his prayer from before the kiss was answered in the form of a soft knock.

    Shane had barely made it up five steps. He paused for a second, wondering if he had hit the metal railing somehow, leaving behind a knock-like reverberation echoing in the stairwell. He shook his head slightly, as if shaking out the thought that it could be anything else. He continued up the steps more slowly.

    Then there was a second knock, and a buzz in his sweatshirt pocket.

    There was no mistaking either of those sounds. He practically snapped his wrist yanking his phone out of his pocket.

    LILY: the car is not here, and is cold. can i keep waiting inside?

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is the most promising pilot the Jaeger Corps has ever turned out. He's strong, disciplined, and loves killing kaiju. Unfortunately, he's had issues finding someone he's truly drift compatible with.

    Ilya Rozanov was the star of the Russian Shatterdome before he was unceremoniously shipped off with an outdated jaeger and no copilot.

    I think we can all see where this is going...

    Summary

    The first time Shane tells Ilya he wants to ride him, he’s a blushing, eye contact avoiding, mess.

    They’re making out hard, clothes half off as they lay on the couch, Ilya on top of him when Shane pulls back, lips swollen, voice barely a whisper. “I want… um.”

    “Hollander,” Ilya sighs and comes to sit next to him. “We can't be more. This is all you get.”

    Shane really tries not to get mad, because yes he understands. This is all he gets.

    “Yeah, because it's not that it's a guy that is the problem, it's me right?”

    Ilya frowns. “What the fuck are you talking about?”

    “You had no problem letting him be all over you today,” Shane is aware of how jealous he sounds. He doesn't care. If this is the last conversation they'll be having, he needs to make sure he says everything.

     

    Or, what if Ilya thought Shane was going to bring Rose to the All Stars Game so he brought Svetlana and Sasha with him?

    "When I told Luca he needed a few stitches, he just…” Terry glanced toward the medical room and then back to Ilya. “I think he had a panic attack. He won’t let me near his hand."

    “When he finally spoke a few minutes ago, the only thing he said was ‘Ilya’."

    Summary

    Shane's vision went red. He dropped his stick, then his gloves, and swung at Gibbons, hitting him so hard his helmet flew off, and he fell to the ground. Shane basked in the shock on Gibbons' face.

    Shane Hollander didn’t fight.

    Shane didn’t stop there. Gibbons got in one good hit to Shane's ribs before Shane began his downward assault on his face. Punch after punch after punch, until Gibbons' face was a mess of blood. He was vaguely aware of someone yelling his name and pulling on his shoulders.

    Shane Hollander didn’t fight. But that doesn’t mean he couldn’t.
