    Summary

    A Rozanov like Grigori or Alexei commands attention. Inspires respect. Shows competency and strength in the face of adversity. Doesn’t shy away from agressivity or ambition or ruthlessness.
    On the ice, Ilya manages to attain that ideal. Off it, not so much.
    “Но тут я слышу о скандале в Америке,” (“But then, I hear about a scandal in America,”) continues Grigori in a measured tone. Deliberately casual. “О вас.” (“About you.”)
    Ilya juts his chin stubbornly, holding his head as high as his father’s. He can’t show shame. He can’t broadcast such weakness when it’s exactly what Grigori expects of him. But no matter how hard Ilya tries, the man smells it like a shark smells blood, and his teeth always find their mark.

    ***

    Ilya gets caught in a twisted relationship with one of the Boston Raiders' assistant coaches right after immigrating from Russia at 18 years old. This delays, complicates and somehow simplifies his future relationship with Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    “I’ll be quick. It’ll barely hurt Ilya."

    The gun trembled in his brother’s hand as they kept staring at each other, the words almost as pleading as Ilya’s own. If his eyes hadn’t started to sting, he might have seen his brother’s well up as well. Instead, that childish, naive little part of his heart spoke the next words out of his mouth.

     

    "We are family Alexei. We always have been."

      OR: My take on what if Ilya was in Russia when the video leaked. (Updated summary)

    Summary

    In another timeline, Shane and Ilya hook up in Room 1410, Ilya slips out unnoticed, and they spend the next seven years trapped in the situationship from hell we all know and love.

    In this one, Yuna Hollander walks in just as Ilya goes to leave and—through the combined power of misunderstanding, miscommunication, and a frankly alarming lack of follow-up—Shane and Ilya start dating in 2010.

    Given the chance to grow up with rather than against each other, Shane and Ilya build a life thats steadier, safer, and far less frightening than their canon. Their rivalry fizzles before it ever has the chance to fully ignite, replaced by hockey’s most beloved “bromance", and in 2015, they find the courage to do the one thing their canon counterparts never got to do: tell the NHL and the world.

    There is just one problem: No one believes them.

     

    OR: Despite Shane and Ilya being out for two years, Scott Hunter is still considered the first openly gay player in the NHL, much to Ilya’s indignation.
