He doesn’t mean for it to happen that way. He sees the asphalt before he reaches it.
He thinks, Ilya.
He doesn’t remember much after that.

The incident occurred mere hours after rumors of the hockey star’s sexuality started circulating, stemming from an online video of a private conversation between the young captain and actress Rose Landry. There is no update on his current status after being moved to…Or, Shane gets outed and accidentally hurts himself, the world thinks he's tried to end his life, and Ilya struggles to come to terms with mortality in more than one sense of the word.

Summary
Three rookies. One season. Cameras everywhere. The First Shift is a reality show following the NHL’s hottest rookies from Draft Day through their first year — on the ice, off it, and everywhere in between. Which is a problem for Shane and Ilya almost immediately.

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
In which Shane Hollander's pubic hair goes viral, the internet colour-matches it to Pantone 15-1214 (Warm Sand), and Ilya Rozanov - creates accounts on Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, Tumblr, AND YouTube to anonymously defend his not-boyfriend's crotch using genetics Wikipedia and advanced hockey analytics.
Features: a one-star Calvin Klein review ("very poor elastic, ruined my life"), Svetlana and Rose who have never once been wrong, and the most romantic use of the word "melanocytes" in the history of the English language according to Ilya Rozanov.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov never goes to the cottage.
He goes home to Russia instead—and disappears from Shane Hollander’s life without a word.
Years later, the news reaches him anyway: the Hollander family is gone, Shane’s career is over, and the boy who once lived and breathed hockey is learning how to exist in a body that no longer moves the way it used to.
Ilya returns for a funeral he was never invited to, carrying years of silence, regret, and a love he never stopped feeling.
Some wounds don’t close.
Some love arrives too late to save anything—but still refuses to die.

Summary
What if Shane and Ilya had much more explicit yearning and wanting at their first International Prospect Cup in Winter 2008 and at the draft in Summer 2009? What if this builds and builds to them hooking up for the first time at their second International Prospect Cup in winter 2009 instead of waiting until 6 months later at the CCM shoot? (They are both still 18+!!!) What if there's a blizzard and Shane and Ilya have to share a hotel room? What if they were super super soft lil love sick guys? What if they hook up again at the CCM shoot?
or
Canon-compliant-ish & slow burn-ish & yearning & WANTING & sorta realizing feelings very early on & being love sick lil sweet guys + Bed sharing trope makes me go feral.

Summary
Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.
It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.
(Sequel to “something you can fix,” set post-Heated Rivalry, pre-The Long Game)

Summary
Based very loosely on events from The Long Game that my brain wanted to put into the first book, somewhere between Shane’s injury, and before Scott Hunter wins the cup - for maximum angst, obviously.
What if Ilya’s plane had actually crashed? And what if it had happened before he and Shane had the chance to confess their love and know what it was like to be together.
Or
A fic so I could write a really needy Shane who can't hide his feelings anymore, and an Ilya who is faced with the undeniable truth that someone cares for him.

Summary
Newly traded to the Ottawa Centaurs, Ilya Rozanov is so close to having everything he’d never thought he was allowed to want. He can see the man he loves more than four times a year, he’s surrounded by a team who supports him through his injury, and Shane’s parents have unhesitatingly accepted him as part of the family.
Except his lingering concussion symptoms have kept him sidelined from hockey, his boyfriend is still two hours away, their schedules are a disaster, and Shane’s team is, well…it’s full of assholes. There must be a way to make this all work out.
or
A sequel to a whump fanfiction with more whump…that is also, secretly, a fix-it.

Summary
No one had seen or heard from Draco Malfoy in ten years. Sentenced to two years in Azkaban after the war, he was pulled out after six months by the Ministry with a deal: go undercover to hunt down the remaining Death Eaters or serve the rest of his time. He chose the mission, and when it was over… chose to stay undercover.
Now living as Luke Richards, a deep-cover Auror in the DMLE, Draco has spent a decade hiding behind someone else’s face. Only a handful of people know who he really is, and he prefers it that way. But when he’s assigned to protect Hermione Granger from a series of escalating threats, everything starts to change. What begins as a case becomes something far more dangerous: an unraveling of the life he once gave everything to protect. He might even have a chance to become the man he was meant to be—if he’s brave enough to stop hiding.
A slow burn, post-war action/romance told from Draco’s POV. It features a mystery, angst, redemption, and a witch that changes everything.
