    Summary

    Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.

    So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.

    Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

    Summary

    What if Shane and ilya lived the exact opposite lives of what they had gone through in Heated Rivalry?

    What if Shane Hollander lost his parents during his Junior years, and didn' thave the support system he once did, and instead had an abusive Uncle that raised him? What if he wasn't Canadian Golden Boy, and instead, was just another invisible face among the NHL drafts?

    What if Ilya Rozanov was the one with loving, wonderful parents? A father, Grigori, who helped his family escape after the fall of the Soviet Union and who worked his ass off to make his immigrant family happy in Montreal? A mother, Irina, who helped manage Ilya's rise to the NHL to become the prodigy he is? Or even his brother, Andrei, who was the supportive big brother that gave him the confidence to try anything?

    What if the first time they meet is the night of the 2009 NHL draft, and... What if they fall in love again anyway, and come to face and conquer the NHL and its homophobia?

    This story is a retelling of heated Rivalry, with Shane and Ilya living each other's lives, coming to love each other, and with the power of Queer Joy, have a different happily ever after than they did in the original story.

    Summary

    Starting over was never easy, but Ilya Rozanov wanted to try.

    One year in hell. Then—Canada: a foreign country and a fresh start.

    He had to find himself again. His pride was shattered, his confidence gone. Almost nothing remained of the person he used to be. Still, he had to keep living, even if it was the hardest thing he'd ever done.

    Shane Hollander had never felt so far from Yuna.

    Once, she had been the closest person in his life—then she wasn’t.

    He had spent years being angry at her. There was nothing left between them. Things with his girlfriend weren’t going much better, either. Maybe he just needed something new—a distraction.

    Shane knew he’d be meeting his biggest rival in Saskatchewan. People said he was weird. Brilliant, too.

    Rozanov, right?

    Summary

    Shane never drank. He hated the taste of the alcohol and the lingering buzzy feeling that was felt when he had a bit too much. However, that buzzy feeling and bitter taste didn't stop him from drowning in his feelings with all different bottles of hard alcohol laid out in front of him in his hotel room. 

    A REWRITE of the accidental outing.

    Or,
    Shane shuts everyone out after the world knows him and Ilya are dating. Ilya gets worried after Shane denies his fifth call over the past 3 days, and decides to fly to Montreal to see if everything is okay. Everything is indeed, not okay.

    Summary

    For one brief second, Ilya thinks Hollander is going to stop, step out of the walkway, say something. Do anything. 

    Ilya's hand twitches at his side, absurdly, like it's waiting for a handshake that has not happened yet. Like it's preparing for the contact. 

    Instead, Hollander gives him the smallest half-nod, barely there, and walks into the arena. 

     

    OR: One bad World Juniors drops Ilya Rozanov to sixth overall in the draft and Shane Hollander goes first. Rozanov decides he’s going to spend his career proving the league wrong. What he doesn’t plan on is becoming fixated on Hollander in the process. On the way he plays, the way he watches Rozanov right back. Somewhere along the way, it stops being about the league’s attention and starts being about keeping Hollander’s.

    Summary

    "See, even you think you sound like injured animal," Ilya pushes.

    Ilya is right though. Shane sounds sick. Already sick. Like it will get worse from here.

    Shane needs to sit and sit soon. That fit took a lot out of him, energy he barely had and roughly knew was even present.

    The freckled man does not want to be reasoned with, however, "I do not. I am not injured, and I am barely sick."

    OR

    Instead of Ilya on the plane, it is Shane. But they also just fought, and in Shane's sick state, thinks Ilya hates him.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander ✅ @ShaneHollanderHockeyPlayer
    After a career I could only dream of, it feels right to announce my retirement following our win last night. Three Stanley Cups and a lifetime of memories. Thank you @MontrealMetros for everything.
    _______________

    At 25, immediately following his third Stanley Cup win, Shane Hollander has his PR team announce his early retirement. There are no follow-ups, no explanations.

    At 28, Shane Hollander announces his return to hockey.

    At 29, Ilya Rozanov feels like he's losing his goddamn mind.
    _______________

    Or: Shane Hollander might have just had the worst few years of his life, but he is still the most competitive player in the NHL, and he's determined to win his fourth Stanley Cup before he turns 30, setting the world record. Even if it means joining one of the worst teams in the league and having his ex-rival as his Captain.

    Loosely inspired by 'Carrie Soto Is Back' by Taylor Jenkins-Reid.

    Summary

    Shane and Ilya haven’t spoken to each other since they broke up over a misunderstanding at the 2017 All-Stars game. Ilya was traded from Boston to LA and they both tried to move on. But, in December of 2019, when Ilya ends up on injury reserve, he decides to make an unannounced trip to Montreal. He could have never foreseen the global pandemic just around the corner of that decision, and as the world crumbles around them, they find themselves isolated at the cottage for the longest offseason of their lives.

    OR

    What happens when the systems you have carefully built to keep yourself hidden and emotionally regulated are no longer available to you? What happens when the identity you built your life around becomes the thing you must let go of? What happens when isolation exposes the truth about yourself and everyone around you and there’s nowhere else to hide? What does Shane do then? What does Ilya do then? What ripples does that create beyond their relationship? What shape does their life become when honesty is no longer optional?

    Shane Hollander met Ilya Rozanov at the Ottawa ice rink when he was seven years old. It took exactly three lessons for little Ilya to annoy his way into being Shane's one and only friend. Together, they navigate hockey, school, teachers, girls, and their ever growing, all consuming crushes on each other.

    Or; What if Ilya moved to Canada when he was a child and grew up with Shane?

    Or or; What if Shane had the support that he lacked growing up?

    Summary

    “We’ve made a trade,” Coach announces. “For Shane Hollander.”

    It’s like the ground drops out from beneath Ilya, and his heart falls from his chest. It tumbles past rock bottom, down to the cavern that shattered open inside of him on that night five years ago. The night when Ilya walked away from Hollander for the last time.

    He can’t breathe.

    (Or: Shane doesn’t get hurt, they break up, and they don’t talk for five long years. Until Shane is traded to Ottawa.)

    Summary

    “Ilya,” Shane gasped out, like it hurt to form the word. With it came a small smattering of blood on his lip. A few extra hands were working alongside Ilya and Pike, but Ilya would not move. He had to stay, and listen, and be with Shane.

     

    “Yes. Shaneya, I am here. What do you need to tell me?” More and more blood burbled up past Shane’s lips, which couldn’t be a good sign. How could more blood be trying to escape him? There were already two exit points, wasn’t that enough? Now he had to drown in it?

     

    “Tell Ilya I’m sorry… I- I love him… So much. I’m sorry I left. Please. Please, I can’t die without him knowing…” Ilya couldn’t breathe behind the sob that tore out of him. He collapsed inward with the force of it. Shane was below him, begging to live so that he could tell Ilya he loved him. If anyone reacted to the two boys, Ilya didn’t notice. This whole thing could still be being live-streamed to ESPN, and Ilya wouldn’t care.

    Or, Shane gets shot on the ice right after the Tuna Melt Gate. Ilya is there to save him.

    Summary

    Shane never got over what happened in that last season in Montreal. The first year in Ottawa was never supposed to break them like this. Neither of them know it's the last time they will argue like this. After a brutal loss and a worse fight, Shane vanishes-taken by the one person Ilya has spent years trying to ignore and forget. When the case ends in Ottawa River, everyone else accepts the inevitable.
    Every except Ilya. Because Shane has never been good at letting go. And Ilya has never been good at giving up on him.

    Shane disappears into the river-and Ilya is the only one who refuses to let him go.

    Everyone else believes Shane is dead; Ilya believes he's still fighting his way home.

    Complete.

    Summary

    After the events of It Takes a Village, Shane must navigate how to move forward in his career when the team he has grown to love ultimately sets a ceiling on his growth. In another life, he would have won his Stanley Cups with the Metros, been their star center and Captain, and the face of a franchise. Here, he is second line to New York's beloved captain and one of his best friends, Scott Hunter. He knows that to grow, he has to move on, but leaving the family he found in New York might be the hardest challenge he's faced yet.

    This is a sequel to It Takes a Village and will not make sense without having read that work first. If you haven't read it yet, please do! For those who have read and enjoyed ITAV, I hope this sequel does it justice <3

    Summary

    He had never seen this look on Ilya’s face before. It wasn’t anger. It was something else. Something scarier than seeing him angry. Fear. He has never seen his boyfriend like this.

    Ilya wasn’t even sure if he was physically hurt. He wasn’t worried about that. He couldn’t think straight. His adrenaline was rushing.

    “Ничего не стоящий.” Worthless. His father’s words rang in his head.

     

    or

    Shane and Ilya have a very intense argument. Shane gets overstimulated and pushes Ilya off of him. This sends Ilya into a PTSD flashback. PTSD flashback leads to manic episode. (Ilya Rozanov needs a hug)

    Ilya’s mental health relapses and spirals. He goes through all the motions.
