    Summary

    “I’ve been thinking about doing something like this for a while,” Wiebe admitted. “Though originally I was going to reach out to an actress. Get a nice, pretty, girl next door type on his arm for a year or so. Straighten out his image just enough to get him back to ‘loveable bad boy’ instead of 'on the edge of being cancelled‘. But hey, now I can kill two birds with one stone!”

    Shane Hollander is a working actor in need of some exposure to get his big break. Ilya Rozanov is an international rock star in need of a reputation boost after his latest scandal. The powers that be think a PR relationship between the two will get everyone what they want.

    So begins a year long, very public romance as Hollywood's latest young 'it' couple. Can Shane survive the scrutiny that comes with fame in exchange for a shot at success? Can Ilya keep it together long enough to fulfill the contract? And will either of them make it to the end date without a broken heart?

    Summary

    This is a companion piece to “You Fill Up My Senses”, told from the perspective of the Russian Lover-Boy himself, Ilya Rozanov. You don’t have to read that first, but it would provide some context :)

    ~

    They made eye contact, and for the first time that night, Ilya finally saw a Shane he recognized looking back. He was being assessed. Brown eyes flooded with emotion finally, a tragic mixture of anger, uncertainty, fear, with just a hint of longing tucked in there. Ultimately, resolve won over any other emotion. Shane took a deep breath as they skated to the face-off circle. He spoke quietly, his words meant for only one person.

    “Well. I came out to the team as gay a few weeks ago. Apparently they decided they’d rather spend their time calling me a ‘geisha whore’ and standing around than doing their fucking jobs.”

    His voice was low, but steely. Jagged with hurt and betrayal. Ilya’s stomach dropped. His chest tightened, his vision blurred. How could they…? He could feel himself breathing hard and fast, anger coursing through his lungs. He thought of All-Stars. The crinkled eyes. The gardenia. Someone would pay for this. Many people would pay for this, if he had something to say about it.

    Summary

    “Well. I came out to the team as gay a few weeks ago. Apparently they decided they’d rather spend their time calling me a ‘geisha whore’ and standing around than doing their fucking jobs,” Shane said, dejectedly. He kept his voice low as they got into position for the game to start so the ref wouldn’t hear. His eyes trained on the ground, ready for the drop. He couldn’t force himself to look at Ilya in that moment.

    “What.” Rozanov’s voice was low as he growled the word out.

    Shane braved a glance upwards, hoping he wouldn’t see more disgust. While he did find it in Ilya’s eyes, it seemed to also be mixed with a twinge of sadness and pure, unadulterated anger. Ilya let out a harsh puff of breath.

    Unsure of how Ilya felt about his confession, Shane went on, “Yeah it’s whatever man. Sorry, I shouldn’t have-“

    “No. You don’t apologize. Motherfuckers.”

     

    AU where Shane is slightly older than Ilya. Shane captains the metros while Ilya captains the centaurs. Shane tries to come out to his teammates and much to the horror of the centaurs, they do not take it well.

    Aka Ilya decides it’s time for Shane to learn what it means to be loved and supported… romance shall ensueee

    This was so good! Definitely a great palette cleanser with the lack of angst and all of the love and support that these characters don’t always get. Can’t wait to read Ilya’s POV.

    Summary

    “Seeing you smile like that, it makes me want to give you all of this,” he called out, making a sweeping gesture across the ice.

    Shane turned back to look at him, eyes bright, and laughed. “Canadian Tire Centre? I know you’re rich, Rozanov, but an entire arena is a pretty big real estate investment.”

    Ilya pushed off, skating to a stop in front of him, knowing his expression had morphed into something serious. “Hockey, Hollander. It should have been yours.”

    Or, everything that happens when your dreams don’t come true.

    I love the idea of control freak Shane being an event planner! Very good read.

    Summary

    Everyone in the NHL wants Shane Hollander. Maybe that should make Ilya feel proud, accomplished, even. Because he's the only one who has ever really had him. The only one who will.
    But really, it only seems to piss him off. Make him possessive.
    Shane kind of likes that.
