    Summary

    Ilya is the youngest-ever captain of the Boston Raiders at 22 years old, and is pretty sure he is straight. Shane was injured before he could go pro, and became a dancer instead. Now, he’s out, and the most in-demand male pole dancer in Montreal.

    Then, on a random Friday night, Ilya and the Raiders walk into his club. And now Ilya can’t stop thinking about him.

    OR - What if Shane was Ilya’s bi awakening, and it began at a club where Shane was performing? And what happens when this Shane Hollander meets this Ilya Rozanov?

    (Don’t worry, Shane still plays hockey for fun in this, because I’ll be damned if Shane isn’t still a bitchy jock who is really good at hockey in my AU.)

    Summary

    It only took basically a decade but Shane finally has Ilya in every aspect. He should be celebrating and enjoying it, should be focused on slotting into his new team in Ottawa. Instead he's watching the news cycle with bated breath, waiting for the inevitable moment that his name pops up alongside words like "victim" and "Dallas Kent."

    Summary

    When Shane Hollander looks into the future he sees— not a flat sheet of ice, not that, not anymore, but something equally as empty.

    His backup plan was always to go to university. He hadn't thought he'd ever need it, not really. Especially not near the end, when everything felt so certain. But his grades were good, his mom made sure of that, so when he woke up in the hospital he already knew what he was going to do next. But after?

    There's a standard path people take, he knows, that comes after school. But when he tries to picture it, slot himself into the picket fence and the corporate overhead fluorescents, it disappears. Like it was never going to be real at all.

    (Or: after ending up at a jazz bar to celebrate the end of finals season, Shane Hollander finds himself where he never thought he'd be— in the orbit of NHL superstar Ilya Rozanov.)

    Summary

    “They are so pretty. Pretty freckles on pretty boy and I want….”

    Shane can’t breathe. Holy fuck he can’t breathe, every fucking fantasy he’s had since he was seventeen is right in front of him and he doesn’t know what to do.

    “What…” licks his lips and watches as Rozanov leans forward, like he can’t help but try to be closer, “What do you want?”

    A smile, slow and wicked, sharp canines that Shane wants at his throat.

    “I told you, to be boyfriend.”

    Or: In a world where there was no CCM hookup and they're just rivals, Shane has come out as gay, and Ilya isn't going to let that opportunity pass him by, leading Shane to a journey of discovering self-worth, fighting shitty team dynamics, winning the Stanley Cup, autistic meltdowns and maybe even leaving Montreal.

    Summary

    “Just one more question, Mr. Rozanov.”

    “How were you able to stay focused tonight after learning of your father's passing?”

    Ilya stood frozen, eyes glued to the camera. Jaw locked. On the screen, his chest barely moved, each breath turning dangerously shallow.

    Shane didn't realize what he was doing until he was already shoving the heavy conference room doors open.

    Or: Ilya Rozanov learns of his father's death during a live press conference and has a panic attack. Shane goes to him. In front of everyone.

    Summary

    In 2022, Ilya wakes up in a hospital in Ottawa with no memory of how he got there. He has hazy recollections of 2015, but he can't remember anything about the past seven years. He is shocked to learn he is now married to Shane Hollander, a fact that forces him to reconcile the decisions of his past self with the expectations he inherited from his father.
    --

    “I have this for you.” Hollander reached into his pocket, pulling out something gold, glinting under the cold hospital lighting. Holding his fist out, Hollander unfurled his hand, and the bottom fell out of Ilya’s heart, cratering through his stomach and spilling onto the floor.

    Shane Hollander stood before him, palm outstretched, cradling Irina Rozanova’s golden crucifix.

    Ilya flinched back, like he had been burned. Hollander’s warmth had moved too close, too fast, morphing into a threat and a violation. Hollander should not have that cross.

    Summary

    Finally, something dawns on him, a way to handle two goals simultaneously. He’d seen Hollander’s mother flipping through papers rapidly when they first got here, seeming calm and in control and more than a little frightening in a way that made Ilya mildly glad he wasn’t one of the people responsible for a clipboard. If anyone can tell him if the long list of “Prohibited Items” he’d been sent in his email a few days ago is just standard practice for big shoots, it would be Yuna Hollander.

    Or, hopefully, her son.

    “Crazy we cannot even have peanut butter, eh?” He asks. “You also got giant list?”

    Hollander stiffens, almost imperceptibly, and Ilya tilts his head, just slightly, confused, wondering if he’s stumbled somewhere unexpected.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander only meant to attend a few hockey games — a small act of rebellion against the boyfriend who controlled every part of his life. But that night changes everything. The arena becomes a refuge, Rose becomes a friend, and the Montreal Metros become the first place he’s felt safe in years.

    No one knows he’s living with domestic violence.
    No one knows he’s planning to run.
    No one knows how much he’s breaking.

    And no one expects him to fall for Ilya Rozanov — the loud, brilliant, closeted Russian winger recently traded under suspicious circumstances.

    Ilya has secrets he can’t share, a past he can’t escape, and feelings he doesn’t know how to handle.

    Shane is learning how to live again.
    Ilya is learning how to feel again.
    Both are learning how to trust.

    But when the truth about their pasts threatens to surface, they’ll have to decide whether they can face it together — or lose each other trying.

    ----------------------------------------

    Or: A story about healing, found family, and the terrifying, beautiful risk of choosing love after surviving what was meant to break you.

    Summary

    Hi Ilya,

    My name is Shane! I don’t speak Russian, I hope that’s okay. I’m also 25 years old and I love hockey too! So we have some things in common.

    I’ve never written an inmate before. I don’t really know why I’m doing this. I guess I’m lonely. I’m not very good at making friends or dating. I think maybe I can be a bit awkward in person, but I’m good at writing. So I hope that’s okay.

    or Shane Hollander finds Ilya Rozanov on WriteAPrisoner.com and sends him an email.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has a terrible problem: he's with these beautiful, sexy, fun women, but he can't stop thinking about this slow fucking hockey player with beautiful freckles and a weak backhand.

    Or: An exploration of the psyche of a Russian jock in denial about his feelings, pre and post tuna melts.

    He's going to kill me, he thinks again, watching Shane come apart under his touch. I'm going to die chasing this high.

    Nothing – not sex with Kateryna or Freckles or Svetlana or anyone else, not the cars, not any amount of stability or lack of gray sludge, not the best fucking hockey he's ever played – nothing has made him feel like this.

    "Good boy," Ilya says roughly, and he puts his palm against the base of the dildo and thrusts it all the way into him, hard and fast.

    Summary

    “You’ve been coming here for years. You always bring me back a yogurt parfait and a latte. I guess when I woke up this morning I realized that you don’t have to do that anymore.” Little crumbs of muffin litter Shane’s chin. Ilya wants to reach out and dust them away but he can’t bring himself to drop Shane’s hand. Not in this perfect moment.

    “I will always bring you home coffee,” Ilya says. He wants to spend the rest of his life showing up for Shane in every way he needs.

    Shane squeezes his hand and gives a slight shake of his head before taking a long drink of his coffee.

    Or, Post Fanmail outing Shane and Ilya learn to love each other in public.

    Summary

    It had been 2,045 days since Shane had heard from Ilya Rozanov.

    But, who was counting? He wasn't counting. No, he had stopped mentally counting after the first year. When the 365 day mark had passed. Now it was just tracked on his phone. A painful reminder whenever he happened to open his calendar app.

    or

    Summary

    Shane has a problem with subspace. More specifically, being able to communicate during it. His propensity to go non-verbal when he's overstimulated or in an emotional situation is definitely not ideal. Ilya has been able to adapt, but Shane wants to work on his communication skills. That's why this little game of theirs really comes in handy.

    Or, Shane and Ilya play a game of orgasm denial using a chastity device in an attempt to train away Shane's issue with communication.

    Summary

    What if Ilya answered the phone call from his brother when Shane was at his house. What if Shane could be there for him and how would it have changed their relationship moving forward?

    ------

     

    Shane didn’t hear from Ilya again for the rest of the day.  He had just crawled into bed, and was about to slip on his glasses on to read the book from his bedside table when his phone buzzed

    The message he found when he opened their thread was not what he expected

    Lily:  I think you packed wrong shirt by mistake.

    The photo was Ilya’s hands holding Shane’s white t-shirt.  He stared at the picture as heat rose to his cheeks, biting his lower lip as he tried to figure out what he should respond.  Before he could start typing another message appeared.

    Lily: This one is too small for me.

    Shane scowled, his embarrassment quickly turning to annoyance.

    Jane: It is not.  We are the same size.

    Lily: Uh, no.  We are not.  I am bigger than you.

    Jane: Asshole. You are not.

    Lily: You have seen me without shirt.  Do not pretend.

    Summary

    Shane only indulged in coffee occasionally and he tried to ignore that Rozanov had gotten his coffee right, despite only seeing him order it maybe twice.

    “Thanks, Rozanov. And I have to get here early. We both do. So we can plan.”

    “You have binder of plan. Plan never changes. Plan is laminated.” To drive his point home, he shook the binder that contained a few different practice schedules, all laminated and in order of priority.

    Shane huffed and sipped his coffee to avoid the glint in Rozanov’s eyes. The team slowly trickled in, which gave Shane relief. Being alone with Rozanov lately felt like a battle. He got flustered more easily than he used to and Rozanov could tell. In fact, he’d go out of his way to make it worse. So he tried to avoid being alone with him at all costs, to hide his inability to make eye contact and his deepening blushes - at least until he could sort out what was happening in his head.

    Or; Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are drafted to the Ottawa Centaurs as rookies.

    Summary

    When Ilya finally found him, Shane sat with his legs tucked into his chest, arms looped around his calves. His head was angled towards the wind and his gaze–

    It was cold, vacant.

    As if he’d died just before Ilya showed up. A dwindling flame frozen in time and the world had yet to catch up. It felt too familiar to a scene two decades ago. Ilya’d been so excited to show her something, but the what had slipped from his mind years ago, replaced with gaunt eyes and pale skin.

    “Moy solnyshko?” Ilya said. He wasn’t sure if the words had enough weight to land audibly with his mind drifting elsewhere. Shane didn’t even stir. His mother hadn’t either. He lurched forward, fingers clasped around Shane’s shoulder. “Shane–”

    Shane turned towards him owlishly, blinking. His eyebrows lifted a beat after.

    “Ilya,” Shane exhaled, a tired smile tugging at his lips. “When did you get here?”

     

    Or, Ilya notices a change within Shane. (Ilya's perspective throughout To my dearest.)
