honey, tell me, are you good at staying still? by justhockey

Summary
Life feels so chaotic for Shane sometimes, with all the loud noises and the unwritten rules he’s expected to follow, even though no one ever taught them to him. It’s why the bookstore feels more like home to him than anywhere else in Boston. It doesn’t ask Shane to be anything other than himself. Doesn’t ask for any more than he can give.
He can just exist here.
Shane likes slow, likes taking his time. And Ilya - without saying or doing anything in particular - makes Shane feel like that’s okay. Like he isn’t doing anything wrong by standing still sometimes.
(Or, Shane works in a bookstore, Ilya plays hockey, and they both go to the same college. They fall in love in every universe.)

Summary
At the age of 22, Shane Hollander has never had sex. Not because he doesn't want to, but because he's strict about only sleeping with someone he's truly committed to. Except for the past few months he's regularly making out with Ilya Rozanov, his best friend of three years, and it drives Ilya so crazy that Shane lets him go jerk off in the bathroom after nothing more than just kissing. But as the weeks pass and the want between them grows, Shane starts to realize that the person he's been waiting for might have been there all along.

Summary
Shane: Ilya, what, what is happening, it's seven in the morning.
Ilya: (calling back, still grinning) I am vlogging.
Shane: You're what?
What starts as a “simple vlog” turns into a soft and deeply intimate snapshot of Ilya's domestic life.

Summary
“I do not want to make you uncomfortable. With how I talk about us. To others. Like . . . reporters. Or how I treat you in front of others, like the guys on the team.”
Something like understanding settled on Shane’s face now, and it immediately made Ilya’s heart stop racing. “You think I don’t like PDA.”
“First time I held your hand in public I thought you were going to have a panic attack,” Ilya admitted.
--
Or: Shane's first season on the Ottawa Centaurs, as told through five times Ilya initiated PDA (and one time Shane did).

♡♡♡
this was kinda lifechanging and i meant literally
___"Oh my god," Bood said. "You're literally married to the guy Roz, you don't have to spend the whole game looking like you're pining after him.
+
It was nice that he got his happy ending, hockey and teammates who cared about him and Shane Hollander loving him back and playing with him and a dog and a house and a family. It was so nice that he felt, abruptly, a bit like crying, right out there on the ice.
+
Still, power play was exciting because that meant Shane and Ilya would play together.
+
(...) but the truth was that Ilya knew in his heart that he was the one that was - how did they say it? - whipped. That Shane could say jump and Ilya would always ask "how high?" He'd been in some form of love with Shane Hollander since they were eighteen years old. (...) because truly Shane was always in charge. He could say "come" and Ilya would trot after him like Anya, on his heels, desperate for his affection and attention. Always, always, always.
+
"They know it is captain's orders - to protect Shane Hollander's beautiful, perfect face at all costs."
"You're such a sap," Shane said.+
"I am going to kill him now, yes?"
Like he said: he liked obeying orders.
"I am not stopping you," Shane said back, tone deceptively light.+
"I don't want to go if you're not there," Ilya had admitted. He didn't want to leave town for a few days without Shane. He didn't want to go to awful parties with awful men if he have Shane's hand to hold. He didn't want to spend time apart, in different beds, if it wasn't necessary. They'd lost so much time.
+
(Ilya) wanted to say I would choose you every time. Over hockey. Over everything. Forever.
+
Sometimes Ilya spent the time after dinner staring at it, until Shane came and took him by the hand and led him quietly back into the living room.
+
If Crowell was going to try and stifle them by cancelling the All-Star Game, then Ilya would just have to love Shane even louder and more publicly than before. What a burden. (What a joy. What an endless, wonderful, perfect joy.)
+
Ilya shrugged back, to say I am willing to shout from every rooftop in the world that I love you, but I would not do anything that you do not want to do.
+
"Maybe I'm turning over a new left," Shane said dryly.
"Don't turn over new leaves," Ilya said. He could admit his tone was a bit whiny. "I like your leaves. I married your leaves." -

no one does domesticity like u op 😭the intimacy in the smoking scene oml ♡♡
___Shane passes him a piece of gum and he chews it obediently, winding Shane up by sticking his tongue out with the gum on it, before leaning in again. Shane meets him, sniffs, and pops another piece in.
(...)
Ilya chews for a minute longer before leaning into Shane once more, who nods approvingly at the smell, apparently satisfied.
+
"Sweetheart," he whispers softly, smiling when Shane furrows his brow and grumbles in response. "Slide down."
Between a half-conscious Shane and a besotted Ilya, they both manage to get horizontal.
(...)
He's still laughing as he falls asleep, his final thought a prayer to remember it when he wakes up, so he can tease Shane over their scrambled eggs in the morning.

Summary
“I’m sorry,” Shane chokes, closing his eyes. Rozanov draws his hand, pulling Shane’s with it, to his face and wipes his cheeks.
“There is nothing to be sorry for, любовь моя, it is okay,” Rozanov murmurs, tugging at Shane’s hair again. Shane exhales, letting him clean his cheeks. “You got overwhelmed, yes? It happens.”
“I can’t be fucking normal,” Shane says quietly, whining, head falling back, pressing into Rozanov’s hand.
“No, if you were fucking normal, you would not be my Shane.”
// shane is a liar, and he's tired of it all. his life falls apart, and he finds that he doesn't actually mind.

no one gets devotion!hollanov like this op man no oneeeee
also ilya calling shane my love will always get me >>>>>>>>___
"Baby," Ilya whimpers.
"I'm here," Shane whispers weakly. "You got me."
(...)
"Can I keep you?" Ilya whispers, lips brushing Shane's skin.
"Yes," Shane breathes. "You already have me, Ilya, I'm yours."+
"Right now, you go to sleep. I will gay."
Shane makes a face, looking up at him.
"Gaze," he corrects, narrowing his eyes when Ilya's lips twitch into a smile.
"But it is singular."+
Shane opens his mouth, holds his tongue out, and he just barely hears Ilya let out a laugh as his tongue slides over Shane's tongue smoothly.
+
"I told them I love you," Shane whispers. Ilya hums softly.
"Did you tell them I love you?" he asks.+
"I love your brain," Ilya says softly.
(...)
"(...) and you always think outside box that people want you in."+
"I love you," Ilya whispers. (...) "I did not know it was possible to love somebody so much."
(...)
Ilya laughs, but it sounds melancholy, like he's grieving the distance between them too, like he's just as codependent.+
"My love?" he answers softly.
"Hi," Shane says brightly, his voice sweet and light. "I'm, uhm...I'm a little drunk."+
"Not right now," Shane whispers. "There's nothing happening right now."
(...) Shane smiles softly at him, and then he moves somehow closer, tucking his face against Ilya's chest.
"There's just this right now," he mumbles. "Just this right here."Ilya counts his blessings.
(...)
What a blessing it is to be a safe space for his love to rest. -

Summary
"Now, now," Ilya calls to the room, walking in from the shower, hair still dripping wet. Shane can see the dark spots from where the droplets landed on his shirt. The idiot hasn't even dried off completely, the wet of his body making his shirt stick. He wants to take a towel and smother him. "Do not stress Hollander out. Is bad for baby."
Luca makes a confused sound from where he's lacing up his sneakers. The angel that he is, he spares Shane the irritation of not joining whatever nonsense the rest of the guys are cooking up. "Huh? What baby?"
"Him," he goes to his cubby, starts messing around with his bag, his back to the room. "Hollander is baby."
"Rozanov." Shane is at the end of his rope. This entire team can burn to the ground for all he cares.
5 times Shane obliviously sits through Ilya’s affection + 1 time he realizes it

___
Bood shakes his head. "No, I'm booking us an AirBNB." With his finger, he points at Shane, and with finality, says, "You're staying."
+
(Shane) was the most brilliant strategist in their division. (...) Shane was the fucking glue that held them together. Ilya threw a fit when he was made captain. He did not deserve half the title when Shane was right there.
Did he even know how important he was to them? To him?
+
"I never thought I will lose him. He is everywhere I am, you know?"
+
In this lifetime, Shane was practically his oxygen. In a world where he thought hockey was the only thing he had, he couldn't even hit the damn puck without Shane beside him.
(...)
"Ilya, come home please."
"Okay. I go home."
+
Ilya is glad that his heat broke somewhere in the early morning. Right now, Shane is radiant in the mid-day light.
+
"I want to be yours." He sighs, heart beating out of his chest. "Shane, let me be yours."
Miraculously, Shane looks at him like he already is.
+
Beside him, Shane laughs, and at the sound, Ilya instantaneously grabs his hand to hold without even looking.

Summary
“This is hard to talk about,” is all he says, though he knows it will amount to nothing.
Shane’s fingertips are feather-soft on his chest. “You have to.”
He has to, because Shane and Ilya have this thing, now, this agreement. Nothing is too hard to talk about. Nothing is off limits. They have to be bare, have to surrender the deepest crevice of their soul to one another. And Ilya, for whom this is easier said than done, whose chest carries a perpetual weight, an immovable mass, it’s all worth it – worth the relief smoothing over Shane’s features, the reassurance that he’s not worried anymore, that Ilya can give him this peace, albeit only a fragment of what Shane gives him by just being there when he wakes up. He would never say it, but he thinks that what he has to offer to Shane amounts to nothing – nothing compared to what Shane does, what Shane is, by simply nuzzling into his chest and sighing into his sleep, late at night when all Ilya can do is lay awake and just feel.
“I need more,” Ilya says. “And is nothing you can do. I need you inside me, and it feels terrible.” He swallows, with great difficulty. God. “I need to– I need to eat you.”
or, Ilya never knew love can hurt this good

"But you know me, I am scumbag paramedic who does not take anything seriously."
"I don't know that side of you at all," Shane tells him.
The smile Rozanov gives him could do a better job bringing people back to life than Shane does.+
"It is only you that I have been wanting."
Shane blinks. "I — Rozanov, what?"
"Ilya, please," Roza-Ilya corrects.
"Ilya, what?"
"You are the only person I want. Nobody else. Only you, ok?"+
Ilya thinks he'll wait a few minutes, and then start heading to the call anyways. He can't wait to see what Shane will do when he shows up.

Summary
It’s perhaps the sweetest Svetlana has ever known Ilyusha to be. She has always been granted access to the more affectionate side of Ilyusha, the one that he rarely shows to anyone else, but it was never anything compared to this. This tenderness, this adoration, that he gives so freely to Shane. It’s like her best friend is a completely different person right now, and she starts to wonder if maybe she was wrong earlier.
Maybe, instead of being too boring for Ilyusha, perhaps Shane Hollander is giving him the space to become something soft. Something without walls, or masks, or armour.

___
“Hayden, they’ve kept this secret for over a decade. They’ve hidden how they feel for longer than we have been together,” she reminds him. It’s a startling thing to think about, that while she and Hayden were falling in love and starting their family, Shane and Ilya were having to hide their own love for each other. Even from themselves, for a while. It makes Ilya’s attitude, his defensiveness, a little bit more understandable. -- i will always be here for hayden lashings
+
“Yes. Very much so. We’re both kind of possessive,” Shane confesses. “There’s no one else for either of us.”
+
He burrows his face in Ilya’s bicep, and it’s abundantly clear to Rose that Shane likes this. He likes Ilya being possessive of him, likes knowing how much he is loved by Ilya. And my god, is he loved.
+
"(...) I don’t want to steal any of your time with her.” Ilyusha scoffs. “You can’t steal what belongs to you. All of my time is yours, kótik.”

"Shane sat on the counter. (...) Ilya stood between his les, fingers curled around Shane's hip, and they ate pelmeni out of the same bowl with forks because Shane couldn't find the right spoons for the broth and Ilya said it didn't matter and the not-mattering felt like its own kind of intimacy."

"Ilya had been fooling himself the whole time. Shane was inevitable."

"I like when I can love you with people. (...) To know me, but not know you, is not knowing me at all." is INSANE
+
also one thing i fawking loveeee is shane acknowledging hayden also being an asshole towards ilya like we don't always get this often in fics like yes hayden being an asshole 100% affects ilya too sorry im an #1 hollanov defender and i think shane should keep hayden humble esp when it comes to ilya i dont make the rules
