    Summary

    When a petty morning argument is the last thing Ilya says to Shane before he boards the Montreal Metros’ team plane, he thinks the worst consequence will be a bruised ego and an awkward apology.

    Instead, the aircraft declares an emergency.

    As social media explodes, the hockey world halts, and Shane’s Instagram messages turn from apologies to goodbyes, Ilya is forced to confront the one truth he’s been hiding longer than his feelings:

    Shane Hollander is his. And he may have just lost him.

    A mixed-media, Long Game–era angst spiral featuring breaking news alerts, trending fan edits, locker room confessions, and the most devastating Instagram DM thread you will ever read.

    Summary

    “Daddy, who is Lily?”
    “I don’t know sweetie. Do you mean your friend from school?”
    “No Daddy, I thought it was her, but when I texted her, I got a really weird reply.”
    Shane knew giving a phone to an eight year old might not have been his best parental move, but all the kids in her class had one, he’d felt guilty. Besides, it was only his old phone. It couldn’t do much more than text.
    Wait… It was Shane’s old phone. And Judith was texting someone named Lily.
    “Oh no.”

    -

    After Shane Hollander's career ending injury in 2014, he lives a quiet life at his cottage with his two daugthers. His life is turned upside down when his youngest accidentally texts Ilya Rozanov, Shane's former lover and secret crush. Can Shane find a place for Ilya in his new life?

    Summary

    “I want our family,” Ilya said. “I want children. Permanence, I think is the word... A life with you. More than anything.”

    Shane felt his throat tighten. “I want that too.”

    Ilya nodded, eyes swelling. “I know. That is why I need to say everything now. Before I lose the nerve.”

    He took Shane’s hands, grounding himself. “I am trying to be strong for you. But I need you to be strong for me too.”

    “I am,” Shane said immediately, almost offended.

    “I know,” Ilya said. “But I need you to listen.”

    Shane nodded. “I am listening.”

    “I do not want to play hockey much longer,” Ilya said quietly. “Maybe couple more seasons. And then I am done.”

    Shane stared at him. “Done?”

    “Yes.”

    “With hockey. You’re serious?”

    “Very,” Ilya said.

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

    Set one year after The Long Game, this story follows the fallout of a commissioner who refuses to loosen his grip, and the players who finally refuse to bend.

    Shane and Ilya are done playing by the rules of others. They're ready for a life, a family, each other and determining what their legacy really is. They're ready to play for keeps.

    Summary

    Today, though, Shane told himself he hated Ilya. He hated that Ilya left. Hated that he said nothing. Hated that he’d made Shane feel disposable.

    Sometimes Shane imagined flying to Russia, knocking on Ilya’s door, punching him square in the face and telling him exactly how much he hated him. But he knew the truth. Ilya would open the door. Shane would forget every practiced speech. And he would kiss him. Melt into him. Give himself over like he always had. Be fucked by him. And even if it was the last time they would fuck, at least he would know it was the last time this time.

    The truth was that Shane didn’t hate Ilya.

    He hated that Ilya still lived in this quiet, unmovable place in his heart. It was the place that wouldn’t let him move on, wouldn’t let him heal, wouldn’t let him forget.

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

    This story is canon through the 2014 Russian Olympics, then diverges. After Russia, Ilya ghosts Shane and never returns to the U.S., remaining behind to care for his father. Both Shane and Ilya carry the weight of their shared past into the present, set in June 2017.

    Summary

    “So,” Shane started. “Let’s start off with the basics. Where do you want to go?”

    “Hawai’i. Not tourist trap though, what is it, Waikiki?” Ilya paused. Shane nodded. “Yes, not that. I want to see the volcano.”

    Ilya had been scrolling on his phone exactly two days ago when a random sponsored post from the United States National Parks Service popped up (he wasn’t sure why as he had only lived in Canada since leaving Russia years ago). A volcano on the Island of Hawai’i had entered its 20th fountaining episode since December of 2024. Ilya began looking up videos of past eruptions and felt a desire to try to see it for himself that morning. He searched for an agency close to him in Ottawa and now found himself sitting in this chair, across from a strikingly beautiful man he assumed to be about his age, freckles dancing across his cheeks and moody, traveling dark eyes.

    --Or--

    Ilya Rozanov books a last minute trip to Hawai'i Island hoping to see the Kilauea eruption. His new travel agent, Shane Hollander, already has the same dates booked for himself to the same destination and for the same purpose.

    Summary

    AU. Shane works at a coffee shop, goes to auditions, tries to get his personal life together, and has absolutely no idea how to say no to people. His life is already complicated enough when a Russian neighbor moves into the apartment across the hall.

    Ilya Rozanov is a not-very-polite musician, a devoted fan of heavy eyeliner, and definitely not a fan of coffee. Also, apparently, a hundred percent straight.

    Around the same time, anonymous gifts with handwritten notes start appearing outside Shane’s door.

    If only he knew who they were from.

    Summary

    Liliya squirms slightly as he slides her tiny arms into the sleeves, her face scrunching in mild protest. "I know, I know," Shane murmurs, smiling faintly. "Not your favourite thing." He glances briefly at the phone, then back to her. "Maybe one day," he says quietly, "we can show this to your papa."

    There's a subtle shift in the room. Yuna's smile falters just slightly. David, standing nearby, looks down for a moment before composing himself.

    Shane doesn't stop. "This is the day you came home," he tells her. "The first day of the rest of our lives kiddo." His fingers are careful as he buttons the cardigan, adjusting it so it sits just right.

    "I think he'd like to see this,” he adds softly.

    Or, Shane and Ilya sleep together the day they meet in December 2008. Shane ends up pregnant. Ilya has no idea, it’s only when their daughter is diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder that Shane realises he has no choice but the break the silence between them.

    Summary

    Shane finds out on Twitter.

    Not from a lawyer or a teammate or even one of the journalists who've been calling nonstop since the FanMail video went viral. He finds out at 6:47 am, still in bed, that Russia is coming for Ilya. Propaganda charges. Passport revocation. Return to the Russian Federation required.

    What follows is weeks of watching everything fall apart. Ilya's career. Their safety. The system that was supposed to protect them. Shane keeps playing while Ilya can't. The lawyers file paperwork and say to wait. Montreal demands silence.

    Shane faces a choice: keep his head down and trust the process, or burn down his career and force the world to pay attention.

    He chooses fire.

    Summary

    After a brutal season and a mind that refuses to slow down, Shane Hollander ends up at a secluded wellness retreat to clear his head.

    The last person he expects to find there is Ilya Rozanov.

    His rival.
    His constant competition.
    The man who checked him into the boards two weeks ago.

    Away from the rink, away from cameras and the rivalry the league built around them, something unexpected begins to surface: the realization that the man Shane thought he knew might not be the real Ilya at all.

    And that the tension between them might never have been just rivalry.

    Because rivals aren’t supposed to look at each other like that.

    Summary

    "Now," the announcer says, "Let’s head over to the recap of Women’s Figure Skating, where the nineteen-year-old from the United States was able to snatch the gold in a stunning upset from the frontrunner, Russian Individual Neutral Athlete, eighteen-year-old Irina Rosanov.”

    And there she is, in a pink rhinestoned costume, gargling water and spitting it out of perfectly painted lips. Hands on hips, taking deep breaths before skating out onto the ice.

    Shane’s hand is immediately on the remote, moving to change the channel.

    “It’s fine,” Ilya says, “Want to see.”

    He tries not to keep track of her career, but when it's playing on the screen like this, it's hard to look away. She is the spitting image of his mother, curly blonde hair, lithe frame, piercing blue eyes. She is her namesake. And he doesn’t know her at all.

    -

    Or, Ilya's niece receives her trust fund. She comes looking for answers (and finds a home, while she's at it).
