    Summary

    The first thing Ilya Rozanov felt was a headache the size of Massachusetts.

    Seriously, his head was pounding so badly behind his eyes that the moment he tried to sit up in bed, a violent wave of nausea nearly made him throw up. He immediately dropped his head into his hands, elbows braced against his knees while he forced himself to breathe slowly through it.

    Jesus Christ.

    What the hell did he drink last night?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    (21) fucking hell this is delightful, there’s just so much to enjoy, Shane and Rose’s platonic soulmate supremacy as they dominate the figure skating world while being Harvard students and part-time models, Ilya and Shane in the most beautiful, trust filled, deeply adoring and devoted relationship where they honestly communicate with one another from the beginning is everything to me, also the social media interludes of hockey and figure skating fans co-existing happily as both groups fall in love with each sport and deeply appreciate the techniques and mastery needed for both while also dying over the over-achieving chaotic trio of menaces, I just love this so much and I’m so glad that this started from Shane finding Ilya in a dark place and helped give him the resources and push to break him free from his abusive shitty family and start living happily rather than just surviving
    (24) I love big brother Cliff so much, especially with him joining this little found family and supporting both Shane & Ilya after the horrible accident the German skaters went through, I think if Ilya wasn’t allowed to terrorize Scott in some format he would just perish, and the joined fanbase of hockey and figure skaters continues to be one of my fave things about this fic
    (25) fuck I didn’t know I needed a Yakov pov but I’m so thankful for it, this was so heart warming and delightfully done, like ouch in the best way: Chapter 25

    Summary

    "You signed with the LA Kings?" she demanded. "What were you thinking? You know the plan. We'd go to the draft, get first pick, and go to Montreal."

    "What are you even talking about?" Shane shot back. "If I got first pick, I'd go to Boston, not Montreal. And I don't even want to go to Montreal."

    "Why?" Mom asked immediately. "They're one of the best teams in the league. One of the Original Six."

    Something inside him snapped, and before he even realized it, he switched to Japanese.

    "I don't know," he said, his voice tight. "Maybe because they're full of racists and homophobes. Do you even understand what I'm saying? Or have you become so white you forgot your own language?"

    Bookmarker's Notes

    (14) I guess it’s official that I love all the hollanov this author writes cause this is also fucking brilliant, LA fits Shane delightfully well and I love that so much for this Shane especially with him having much closer ties to his Japanese heritage in this, I adore how healthy/accepting/friendly this LA team feels especially with Ryan, Bood, and Wyatt alongside Shane, Hollywood is one of my fave nicknames, Shane with self-confidence in regards to his sexuality is refreshing, Shane and Rose friendship always gives me life, Yuna finding her way back to her culture with David right besides her and starting to mend their relationship with Shane is so healing, Rose + Lisa + Farah = the epic partnership I didn’t know I needed, yesss give my goalie all the sponsorships, love that being on different sides of the country is still not enough distance for Hollanov to forget each other, Ilya yearning for routines/mundanity/boring stability is catnip to me, Obaachan took one look at Ilya and immediately decided to adopt him as her grandson with Ojisan smartly agreeing as he teaches Ilya about gardening, yesssss sexy grinding in a gay bar where it’s safe for them to be together, Shane on a mission to seduce his man through tequila body shots is perfection, every socmed chapter from this author is a gift, all hail his majesty and his loyal knight, BED CHEM!!! Fucking love everything about their first time just absolute perfection, the intimacy and care and honest vulnerability in their silences is so precious, “You're mine. No take-backs.", Ilya being terrified of leaving familiar abuse of his family for the warmth and joy in being wanted just as he is from Shane and choosing to try anyway is why I adore him, making me tear up over the grandparents gifting them pets so they won’t be lonely at home is rude, their love will never truly cure their anxieties/depression/insecurities but it can sure as fuck help, Yuna and Ilya bonding over moving to a new country so very different from their home is so important, I will never get over Shane guiding Ilya through his childhood stomping grounds, the Council finding Ilya as an acceptable consort is hilarious, and yes Warlord Rozanov is the best fucking choice
    (17) I love a Japandi style home for Shane, fuck “is that our house” hurts so good, we love an intense and non-toxic rivalry, Shane’s peaceful morning getting de-railed by Ilya’s surprise CK ad and then getting virtually railed by Ilya surprise gift is perfection, and Ilya being loved by the Hollander family through recipes, puzzles and endorsements is so lovely
    (18) Sveta and Ilya here are my fave type of friendship where they meet each other both as they are and who they’re growing to be, where with new boundaries and life-style changes they adapt to continue growing together rather than drag the other back, also Svera being perceptive as hell is fantastic
    (19) long live loverboy Ilya, comphet is so fucking weird babe, and emotionally secure and trusting Hollanov is delicious: Chapter 19

    A Well-Organized Life by

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is a man who thrives on structure, routine, the solid ground of a ten-year plan. Ilya likes that about him, likes the embracing squeeze of having a life organized in tandem with Shane.

    No one would call Ilya a man who thrives on structure. But it’s there, if not in his DNA then in the patterns of his brain. A call-and-response of: they do this, I do that.

    When Ilya’s life is flayed open for the world to dissect, how will they push-and-pull their way back towards what was once a well-organized life?

    “I thought we could go through the schedules and figure out what days we’ll be in the same cities this season, or when either of us have a couple of days off in a row. Maybe make a shared calendar, so we c—”

    “A sex calendar? Your parents are arriving in thirty minutes, and you are proposing making a sex calendar?” Oh, this was delicious. He’d be able to eat out on this for years, if Shane was willing to give him that long.

    “It’s not a sex calendar! It’s just … when we might be able to see each other,” he finished, already sounding defeated.

    “And what are you planning on doing when we are seeing each other? Not fucking?”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    (Part 2) Fuck for the author to have wrote this in a fever dream possession, it was ridiculously good and made me fucking bawl through part 1 and then cackle like a witch seeing the companion part 2 at fucking 4 am, can’t wait to see what the next masterpiece will be, I need to sleep now but damn this was fantastic

    Shane Hollander is a UFA on July 1, 2019 at 12pm Eastern. An Unrestricted Free Agent, or UFA for short, is a player of a certain tenure whose contract has ended and can sign with any team of their choosing. If it were anyone else, a player walking to his UFA day would strike fear into the fans and managers hearts. They could lose a player for nothing.

    On the morning of July 1, 2019, with Shane Hollander set to test free agency, the Montreal Metros and their fanbase aren't worried. It's well documented that Shane Hollander has always held out for the best deal, and being a free agent is his leverage. Everyone knows that he’ll sign another deal with the Metros.

    But maybe everyone is wrong.

    (Alternatively: the one where Shane Hollander finds out ahead of schedule that Ilya Rozanov is lonely)

    Summary

    A fiery plane crash claims Ilya Rozanov’s life in January. By April, Shane Hollander is dead of a broken heart. The truth dies with them.

    Yuna Hollander will do anything to get her son back, including hiring a shady shaman to resurrect him. There’s just one complication — Shane isn’t coming back alone.

    Now there are codependent zombies in her house wearing Ilya and Shane’s faces. When they inexplicably act more like a married couple than the bitter rivals she expected, Yuna is convinced that they came back wrong.

    It’s easier than admitting she never understood them from the start.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    (1) oh this is interesting as fuck, I love hollanov as codependent soulmates so much and this having them die not long after the other and then coming back potentially wrong (though by whose definition will be even more intriguing) sounds like delicious agony (also that little Irina hand holding moment was a nice touch)
    (2) oh I love the term hollanovombies so much, fuck this is exactly what I was hoping for, for these two idiotic soulmates to come back wrong in the sense of no longer giving a damn about boundaries/restrictions/shame/backlash when it comes to loving each other and I’m so here for it even as Yuna is in panicked denial about it with David confused but accepting of the BOGO son revival special his wife managed, also Ilya sobbing over Shane possibly committing suicide with the overtone of Irina haunting was just rude
    (3) everything about this fantastic, the retroactive reshaping of their rivalry Yuna is struggling with and seeing how her own actions and biases shaped what she thought rather than what was is so interesting to see her struggle with, Shane giving that whole loving Ilya speech without saying he gay is so perfectly in character, give me all of the David and Ilya bonding over Shane’s baby pics, oh that whole convo but especially the pinky promise was a dagger to the heart
    (4) fuck the centaurs mourning Ilya and holding space for him while he struggles to think of himself as a good captain just fucking hurts and Yuna and Ilya realizing their epic trauma bond feels right in the most painful way: Chapter 4

    A million memories,” Shane chokes out. The phrase clearly means something to both of them, because Rozanov’s eyes immediately water. “Safe in your heart, I – I believe it. You believed it. But you were wrong, without you my — my heart — fuck. Fuck. How could you say that?”

    Rozanov gingerly touches the hunk of gold around his neck. It’s misshapen and melted, but it looks like it might have been a crucifix. Was Rozanov religious? “Sveta must have sent it to you. She knew I would have wanted you to keep it. Safe against your heart. I am sorry it caused you pain instead.” Shane shakes his head. “It doesn’t hurt anymore. It sent me to you.”

    Rozanov frantically scans Shane’s body for injury before returning to meet Yuna’s gaze. Mouth slowly parting in realization, he points to himself. “Ah! I am complication.”

    Rozanov looks pointedly at the man pinning him to his chair. “Well. Now I understand pet owners who cannot move after their pets fall asleep on them. I think if I went to fridge right now you would bite me, котенок

    Yuna flinches at that word. Shane isn’t some Halloween monster. His heart just stopped a little longer than most and needed a spell instead of an electric shock to get it back on track

    This thing with Rozanov has to be new. A side effect that will fade with time. The alternative is that Shane never trusted them enough to open his heart all the way, and Yuna can’t bear that truth.

    Can we pinky promise?” Shane asks in a small voice. “We’ll trust each other, we’ll get help, and we’ll stay alive. Let’s swear on it.”

    “I will be a whore if I lie,” Rozanov grins. “I could not use this phrase when I was younger, but I have been retired whore for a long time now.”

    What? I’m feeling pretty secure here,” Shane teases, but he can’t keep the amusement out of his voice. “No one else can say their soul is fused with Ilya Rozanov. Marriage is just paper, it’s not nearly as cool

    Boodram sniffles wetly. “No way are we replacing Roz. He’s still our Cap, even if he’s chirping from above.” “More like below,” Troy Barrett cuts in. He’s teary-eyed too… “He makes us better every day, even when he’s not here in person. We couldn’t ask for a better guy to lead us. Every game we play is for him.” “We miss you, Cap,” Luca Haas adds quietly

    Is ok. I understand. I am sorry you found him,” Ilya repeats. “No one should ever have to find the body of someone they love.”

    Yuna can’t replace his mother. But she hopes when she calls his name, he hears just a little bit of her in Yuna’s voice
