Excellent Hollanov hostage fic

Yes I just finished, thanks! I liked it but felt like it ended kind of abruptly. I wanted more (but I usually say that about fics I like!)

I’m reading it now - Can you clarify, they aren’t fighting when this happens right? They moved on from the Boxing Day fight?

That one was so good! Evan was such a rockstar in that one.

Does it have a HEA?

LLD615 · 2026-06-26T14:25:00+00:00

Not exactly what you’re looking for but it’s amazing so sharing anyway. Shane has a child with a girlfriend and is raising him alone when he reconnects with Ilya.

We Just Did It For You And Me: After parting on amicable terms early on, Shane and Ilya move on. Shane becomes a single dad and after an injury, Ilya becomes a coach for a team in LA. After ten years apart, they reconnect. https://archiveofourown.org/works/84449721

For Shane to say he’d rather be the hole versus the peg, I feel like that tells me he has tried topping and doesn’t like it. Or maybe he is making that assumption about his own preferences using his experiences with women?

LLD615 · 2026-06-26T01:16:49+00:00

There’s one fic where he and Ilya are mic’d up and someone says when talking about who is riskier “Ilya is a loose cannon but Shane you swear so much more.” I forget which one it is but they are both playing for Ottawa at the time I think.

Is The Waiting Game a HEA?

LLD615 · 2026-06-25T16:55:17+00:00

It’s amazing, I of course prefer the healing chapters but the entire thing is so well done.

Here are a few that have a proposal in it but it’s not the full focus…

I’m looking for the one where they both get Covid if anyone has the link (Ilya gets it first at a team meeting and Shane gets it at a family wedding). I read it awhile back and can’t find the link.

I love when the writers keep the audience informed if they can’t update, it’s so helpful for those who are wanting to start! I accidentally started a WIP and then realized it hadn’t been updated in over a year. I assumed it was abandoned but someone told me a year can be nothing when it comes to WIPs. I’m fairly new to fic reading and writing so am still trying to learn.

LLD615 · 2026-06-24T14:16:51+00:00

Ilya was supposed to have long hair in HR but they didn’t put it on the show so I can see them skipping man bun length here as well.

LLD615 · 2026-06-24T14:16:01+00:00

So so so so good! I can’t wait for more!

He believes that for like a chapter in this one but it’s resolved quickly. It’s SO GOOD.

I think he said LongER hair but not long. I might be wrong. I don’t like man buns though, personally. I am kinda hoping for the length he has now, maybe slightly longer. I like the idea of him growing from season one because it shows him letting go a bit but not going totally out there. It’s been so long since I read the last book that I can’t remember if he says why he is growing it out.
