    Summary

    “We can't be something, Hollander.” The look on Ilya's face is heartbreaking. If Shane had to guess, he feels the exact same way as him. They both know there's more and they want it, but there are too many barriers in place preventing them from this.

    Well, maybe that will change once Shane takes the test that's been burning a hole in his pocket since he bought it at the convenience store a block away. He was going to take it after the game and talking with Ilya regardless, but Ilya being there depended on how this conversation continued.

    “What if we had to be?” Ilya turns his head and perks an eyebrow at that, and Shane takes a deep breath. “Have you ever heard of the MC-15 gene?”

    “Shane…” Ilya's eyes have grown wide, and Shane lets out a nervous chuckle.

    “It runs in my family, so I got tested when I turned thirteen and I have it. It was one of those things where I knew about it in the back of my mind, but I never thought about it because I had no reason to.”

    Summary

    It was a Friday when the video dropped.

    “What is happening?” He asked St Simon, who was holding his phone tight to his chest, his expression odd. “Someone has died?” 

    Across the room he could see Marlow moving slowly upright from where he had been doing floor stretches, his phone in his hand as well, his face pinched. 

    “It’s Hollander,” St Simon said. 

    The bottom of Ilya’s stomach fell out, closely followed by the rest of Ilya’s organs. His chest hurt so acutely that he thought he must be having a heart attack. 

    “Not dead,” St Simon added quickly, reaching out to grab Ilya’s shoulder when Ilya’s knees actually buckled. “Jesus, sorry. I should have - no it’s just -” 

    “Someone tell me what the fuck is going on,” Ilya snapped, “and everyone else shut up.” 

    Marlow reached him now, held his phone out to Ilya, open already to an article with a headline huge enough Ilya could easily make out the HOLLANDER blaring out of it even before his eyes focused and he took the phone from Marlow. 

    A video is posted online, for Shane it feels like a death sentence. For some parts of him, it is.

    Summary

    "Rozy," Brian, the team doctor says, "talk to me, buddy. That puck clipped you pretty good, how’s the pain?"

    Ilya blinks. He clenches his jaw against a wave of nausea. He rests his cheek on the ice, and the cold helps a little.

    "Bad. Very bad." He swallows. "Is Shane here?"

    -

    or, in the final MTL/BOS game of the year, ilya takes a puck to the head.

    Summary

    Outside, bugs swarm around the porch light. A half-moon hangs over the dark swath of lake, spider-spun white daubed across the oil-spill surface. That perfect day on the water was less than a week ago. The scabs on Ilya’s ankle haven’t even healed. He knew the rest of their lives would be an uphill battle; he just hoped they could lie in the grass for a little longer.

    There’s a hitch in Shane’s breath, a catch that brings Ilya’s attention back to him. He’s seen the ice tilt, analyzed the offense, and realization freezes across his face.

    The whistle blows. Ilya’s been caught.

    “You don’t want to figure this out,” Shane says finally. “You want him to billet with you.”

    Last season, Ilya broke his jaw. Next season, he'll break from Boston for Ottawa and a shot at making an impossible relationship work. This season, he breaks every promise he’s ever made.

    Summary

    In room 1410, Ilya Rozanov is ready to walk out the door after successfully getting his 19 year old hockey rival into bed. He knew how to make this moment happen and he knows what they have to be to each other now that it's over. But as he turns the doorknob to leave, he's stopped with questions he never expected. And giving Shane Hollander what he needs in that moment will change everything.

    I note which chapters are SFW vs NFSW, because many of you said knowing meant the difference between reading this on your lunch break or having to wait. (Thank you for wanting to read my work that much.)

    Covers the first two years of their rookie seasons (which is mostly skipped over in the show/books). Canon divergent from the first hookup seen in HR s01ep01. Most things are from the show but the timeline is a mix of both; Hunter and Marleau are aged up per the show instead of as young as they are in the books. (Also, Shane and Ilya don't wait *two years*, they stick to the book timeline. IYKYK.)

    Please note this will the first in a series; you can subscribe to the whole series as well so you don't miss anything :)

    Summary

    No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.

    Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.

    Summary

    In 2014, Shane Hollander walked away from hockey, from the spotlight, and from every dream he built since he was 8 years old.

    In 2014, Ilya Rozanov felt like he was losing himself. So he pushed everything away, so no one would get hurt when he eventually cracked.

    Years later, they reunite, Shane — with so many scars, a thousand secrets, and a heart that never learned how to let go.

    Ilya Rozanov thought he knew what losing felt like.
    He was wrong.

    Or: Sometimes, love doesn’t leave.
    Sometimes, someone keeps it for you.

    Summary

    In 2017, Shane and Ilya ended their not-relationship for good.

    All because Grigori Rozanov is alive and well, and Ilya Rozanov’s life is still held under this thumb.

    3 years later, unbeknownst to each other, they are both traded to Ottawa.
    Shane, involuntarily, is ousted from Montreal after his teammates discover his biggest secret.
    Ilya, voluntarily, chooses to tank his career and take a salary cut in the hopes it will free him from the burdens of his family’s dependence on him.

    Both are ready to start fresh. Both want their freedom. Both are wholly unprepared for the resurgence of the feelings they’ve kept buried once they see their names side by side in the Centaur’s locker room.

    Summary

    “How can Montreal be snowed in?” Ilya asks. “They are not ready for winter?”

    “It’s Montreal, man,” Marleau snickers, like that's an explanation.

    Jane- 9:44 a.m.- Look on the bright side. If you’re stuck another day, you can come back here.

    ________

    After Ilya leaves Shane’s apartment for the first time, he knows he’s on thin ice and at risk of falling into more serious feelings. He’s ready to put distance back between them.

    A Montreal blizzard has other ideas.

    Summary

    “Rozanov, Ilya-- can you hear me? Fuck! Are you okay?” He asked, frantic. There was so much blood, people were running towards them. He could hear phones being dialled, could feel the presence of others around them.

    Ilya’s eyes were open, but it was as if he were looking past him, up towards the sky above. He coughed once and blood sputtered out, dribbling down his face "Mama." He said softly.

    ---

    Since Shane was a young boy he has been able to rewind time. He had never done it for anything huge, just small things here and there.

    Then Ilya Rozanov died in front of him.

    Summary

    Shane’s eyes brimmed with unshed tears. “Don’t marry Svetlana. Just don’t. I couldn’t take it.”

    Ilya sighed. He couldn’t ask Shane to be okay with it. He knew he wouldn’t be if the tables were turned. But they had to do something. There were no perfect choices, none without risk. They had been going around in circles for a year, seemingly circling the drain, waiting for the drop, for their indecision to result in the choice being taken out of their hands.

    “Marry me?” Shane asked softly.

    -

    TLG canon rewrite because I didn't love where the plot went. Instead, Ilya and Shane remain playing for Montreal and Boston, get married in secret, and slowly come out to friends and family on their own terms. After getting married, they finally feel safe to come out to their teams. Montreal reacts badly, but instead of making himself smaller, Shane realizes that he would never be enough for them and cuts his losses.

    I remain faithful to these complex characters and the reality of the world they live in while also allowing Shane the time and space to realize that his love for both Ilya and hockey are all that matter and the consequences are not so important.

    Summary

    He is about 20 minutes out of Montreal when his phone buzzes for the first time. Then again. Then again. He pulls in at the next rest stop.

    It's Ilya.

    Omg Shane. You are probably driving now. But is bad news. I think Troy choose bad restaurant for lunch today.

    I got sick. He just text me saying he is sick too.

    Don't worry please! You can see your parents. I will be okay. ILY <3

    Fuck.

    He calls Ilya straightaway. It rings out.

    'Hi, this is Ilya. I will never listen to your voicemail.'

    Shane and Ilya's weekend plans are derailed when Ilya gets sick and a lot of different things unfold from there that test not only their relationship but that with those around them, the hockey world and the general public.

    Set in a similar timeline to Role Model/TLG bringing in a whole bunch of different characters and storylines.

    A serious illness fic with some graphic medical details including vomit and intense stuff re mental health - CWs with each chapter. Will be HEA but angsty along the way, a whole lot of hurt/comfort and a good amount of silliness/crackfic elements 💖

    Summary

    A butterfly flapping its wings in one part of the world may cause a hurricane somewhere else.

    A conversation with Rose Landry leads Shane Hollander to make a decision that he may ultimately live to regret. Far from the eye of the storm, he crashes along the waves, beaten down by wind and rain.

    Ilya Rozanov lies in the eye of a hurricane. Sometimes he drifts just close enough to the horizon to get into trouble. Just dangerous enough to keep life interesting - enough to remind himself that he's still alive.

    A safe harbor can be found for both, if they can only get there.

    Summary

    Ilya and Shane marry after Rookie season

    Due to Shane being a little more aware of himself thanks to Yuna, over-prepared mamma bear, explaining all types of sex/attraction to him from a young age (“He needs to be prepared for anything! I am not pigeonholing my son!”), Shane knows he’s crushing on, if not falling for, Ilya.

    The butterfly effect occurs; this has only one outcome really. It’s a small thing. Tiny. When Ilya is not there for Shane’s Rookie of the Year award after-party, Shane is worried, needing to track down the other man, instead of slightly annoyed/upset that he would be without Yuna’s lessons.

    This in turn leads him to not doing shots with Scott Hunter.

    Which means only one thing: other than the whole ‘definitely being aware of falling for your rival’ tiny thing. It shouldn’t change much.

    He is not drunk on that balcony with Ilya.
    -
    Ilya Rozanov is married, everyone knows this. His wife, Jane, is strict, perfect, stunning, pretty, boring, and Canadian. She’s always too busy to meet the team.

    Shane Hollander is married; some people know this. He doesn’t speak about his wife Lily much, but he’s absolutely smitten with her.

    Summary

    “I think we need a plan.”

    “I thought we have a plan?” Ilya asked, gruffly, his brow furrowing in confusion.

    “I just mean…” Shane’s face was serious; his eyes were doing that puppy-dog thing that Ilya couldn’t resist, where they looked earnest and soft and serious all at once. "What if we didn’t wait to come out? Rather than waiting until we retire. Maybe, I don’t know, stopped hiding quite so much and just… let people figure it out, eventually.”


    Changing the Narrative, or; Hollander and Rozanov's Guide to a Gentle Take-Off

    Shane and Ilya are done hiding. Coming out, however, is another story. Between family, friends, fans, teammates, and a league still grappling with inclusivity, changing the narrative might just prove more complicated than they expected.

    Summary

    After the Tuna Melt Incident, Shane and Ilya gradually started drifting apart. Texts became more scarce, hook-ups less frequent and feelings pushed aside until, in the moment of absolute panic, Shane ghosted Ilya fully.

    Now, three years later, Shane Hollander and Rose Landry are engaged. Shane's life finally seems to be going in the right direction. No distractions, great girl, lots of hockey.

    And then the new season starts and trades between teams happen.
    And Ilya Rozanov, whom Shane promised himself to forget, is suddenly on the same team.
    And, worst of all, he becomes the Alternate Captain.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has been drafted by Boston, the number one pick overall, but his father doesn't want him moving to America and so takes steps to block his visa. He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong.

    It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it. Even though that something is the most reckless, the only reckless thing he's ever done in his life. He marries Rozanov in secret, to keep him out of Russia and put him on a path to Canadian citizenship.

    Shane's got a five-year plan to get him there and when you have a plan nothing can go wrong. Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's.

    Right???

    Summary

    Following an injury during a Montreal–Boston game in 2016, Ilya Rozanov remembers Shane Hollander, and forgets him. For a moment, he does not remember being loved.

    So perhaps, it is time that Shane reminds himself, after a decade, to chase his future at a break-neck pace, because Shane is tired of feeling guilty, tired of hiding from the person he never truly wants to hide from.

    It won't be so easy, of course, and maybe the path will take them two steps forward and one step back, but they will walk arm in arm, hand in hand, toward their forever.

    [ON HIATUS UNTIL TBD]

    or

    ilya is injured in a game, and it is all the motivation shane will ever need to seize the day.
