Summary
Shane Hollander ✅ @shanehollanderofficial
I’ve seen many publications over the years speculating on my own, and my husband’s, hockey stats and accolades in relation to our romantic relationship and when the public assumes it started.We don’t owe this to anyone. But we’ve also been playing professional hockey for seventeen years and we’ve both run out of ahem, cares to give.
On the right is a photograph from the behind the scenes of our joint CCM advertisement in July of 2010. This photo predates the hundreds of combined accomplishments listed on the left.
Oh, and it was also taken about six hours before our first kiss.
-----
or; a year from retirement and out of fucks to give, shane reveals their timeline to twitter in response to the latest speculatory article on their relationship. hollanovs across the world rejoice, centaurs celebrate their beloved dads, and former teammates share the not-so-subtle clues they missed the first time.

Summary
"I was 16, Spike,” she said softly. “I had the impulse control of a hormonal ferret, and I was desperate to be loved—you think I woulda said no to a hot, devoted British guy who wasn't trying to kill me just for kicks? Just how dumb are you?" ~ Buffy in Ch 13 of Goodbye to Everything That I Knew
In which Spike gets smarter and propositions Buffy on night one, and Buffy accepts because Angel is MIA and would you look at those cheekbones? Cue a teenage romp of an affair in which Spuffy discover the joys of emotional availability in a partner, Angel discovers the joy of a woman with a plan, Cordy makes the plan and enjoys the hell out of it, and Dru gets to live her best life without any man holding her back…
You know how Goodbye to Everything That I Knew is a slow burn of carefully constructed intimacy leading to sweet married sex?
This story is the complete spiritual opposite of that…
AU starting in Season 2x03, School Hard. Written for EF’s 2024 April Challenge Month. Response to BewareTheKiller’s Scotty Doesn’t Know Challenge.

Summary
Anya looks at him like he’s the stupidest person she’s met in the last century. “What are you doing with Buffy?”
Spike takes another drag from the cigarette as he considers. He and Buffy have been living together for two weeks now, long enough that it all almost feels routine. They patrol together and split the cost of meals at 24 hour diners. They shag, obviously. They tell each other I love you, and it still feels miraculous every single time. They remind each other to do things like eat and sleep and charge their phones and pick towels up off the floor. A couple days ago they went to the laundromat and just chatted about their opinions on various reality television shows until the clothes were done. But they haven’t discussed what to call any of that; it just is. He finally lands on: “I’m doing a lot of things with Buffy.”
Anya does not look satisfied with this answer.

Summary
“Hi,” Ilya says, his attempt at making his voice a purr lost to how fucking happy he is, to have this, to see Shane Hollander in a way no one else ever gets to. He crosses the room and kneels over him, pulling him up into a kiss that Shane gives him easily, making a sweet, soft noise that makes Ilya want to bite him with how cute it is. Instead, he gets a handful of the edge of the soft, fuzzy blanket to whip it off of Shane and replace it with his own body-
-only to be stopped when the blanket turns out to be far, far fucking heavier than he anticipated, pulling him up short when his attempt at a flick ends with barely moving the edge before it flops back down with audible weight.
(ilya versus shane's weighted blanket)
