Summary
When he was 14, Shane was hit in the throat with a puck, giving him a concussion and neurogenic stutter.
(I'm so bad at summaries, I'll probably add more to this when I figure out where the story is going)

Summary
Shane blinks back, and wonders what his face might be doing. He wonders if somewhere written among his freckles is the number of times that Shane’s intrusive thoughts have imagined the man before him in lewd scenarios. He wonders if his mouth --already disconnected from his conscious mind-- secretly whispers confessions of his fantasies in a devastating betrayal of the self.
Shane swallows. The two blue eyes are so fucking close that they could each be a mile wide. They could be barrels of a gun or the tips of arrows. They’re trained on Shane and call on his animalistic reactions of fight or flight.
Or fawn.
Shane Hollander was diagnosed with autism as a child. With delayed speech, sensory difficulties, and a brain that refused to conform, Shane grew up always finding ways to cope using hockey, systems, and routine. After temporarily losing his speech in a very public meltdown at the world juniors, Shane is forced to carve a path as the first publicly autistic player in the NHL, accommodations and all.
Chronic surprise Ilya Rozanov is determined to prove to Shane that he isn't a problem to be solved, while both men must learn to accept that they're worthy of love at all.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov goes first overall in the draft to Boston. Shane Hollander goes three rounds later, to the same team, which nobody saw coming, least of all Shane.
The only person in the building who isn't surprised is the guy who's been thinking about Shane Hollander since January.
OR: the one where Shane goes to Boston instead of Montreal, he's deaf, there's no rivalry, and Ilya Rozanov falls first and falls hardest.

Summary

Now he has to consider his career might be over alongside his arrangement with Ilya. But, the funny thing about a health crisis is it forces people to step up when you least expect it.

Summary
“So. The plan,” Ilya says eventually. “What should we do? Should you request a trade to Ottawa?”
Shane pulls himself back, just enough so he can meet Ilya’s eyes. He had considered that, on the car ride over. Considered waiving his No-Movement Clause for the Centaurs.
But then, he began to consider waiving it for a different team in a different city. A city that already has a house for them to share.
Ottawa made sense before, when it seemed like the only option for the two of them to be closer together.
But now?
“I could,” Shane says. “Or, I could request a trade to Boston.”
Or: it’s the Spring of 2018. A locker room incident disguised as a prank outs Shane, and his teammates discover his relationship with a rival NHL player— a player that Shane refuses to disclose the identity of.
In the following months, it becomes obvious that Montreal can no longer be a home for Shane.
Boston, however, just might be.

Summary
Shane has always lived inside himself.
Inside his head. Inside his routines. Inside the version of him everyone trusts to hold it all together. He has learned through the years how to be disciplined, successful, untochable—how to carry love and expectation withouth letting either slip.
What he hasn’t learned is how to ask for help.
Luckily, his boyfriend Ilya, who everyone believe is his rival, notices first. He starts to see the patterns Shane won’t name out loud and the silences that last a little too long. He loves Shane, and that means paying attention, even when what he finds is frightening, even when he struggles too.
or
Shane slowly develops an eating disorder during the time he and Ilya are secretly dating while still playing for Montreal and Boston, and Ilya is the first one to notice, and the first one to try to do something about it.

Summary
Buck’s recovery was supposed to be about healing.
Instead, it gives him too much time to think and a challenge from May that leads to one very awkward cooking video.
He expects ten views.
What starts as a way to fill the endless hours of recovery becomes something Buck never expected: a community of strangers who want to hear him talk about food, dinosaurs, and whatever questionable amount of garlic he considers "reasonable."
Between viral cooking videos, a very invested teenager, a seven-year-old dinosaur expert, and the people who never stopped choosing him, Buck starts to realize that maybe he was never as alone as he thought.

And you, after everything you did, got to come out to a supportive team and fans, get a slap on the wrist, and have your happy fucking ending.”

An exploration of Shane Hollander's struggle against racism and homophobia in hockey, and how others come to understand it

The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows by mailroomorder
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types
07 Oct 2026
Tags
Summary
There was no “No Son of Mine” lecture, no slurs were ever thrown around, and neither Shane nor Ilya were ever banished from Yuna and David’s house or life. Instead, a quiet questioning began, where all of Shane’s choices were investigated for motive and reason.
When did this start? When did it become serious? Are you sure about this?
When David first walked in on Shane and Ilya kissing, and Shane had to make what felt like a walk of shame to his parents house with Ilya in tow, he assumed that all he had to do was rip the bandaid off. There was no more hiding, there was no pretending this didn’t happen. The truth was out there whether he liked it or not, and he was vocal with Ilya about not liking it at all. But, he told himself, he just had to man up. He could do this. Rip the bandaid off, tell the truth, and tomorrow will be better.
He was really incredibly wrong about that.
Or: When Shane’s parents find out he’s gay and dating Ilya, they don’t accept it – instead, they push back. What follows is two of the most difficult years of Shane’s life. AU after Book 2/Season 1.

“Only family members are allowed to visit. It’s hospital’s policy, you must understand.”
No. No, he didn’t understand. None of it made sense.Shane was his whole world, but to the world, Ilya was nothing to Shane. He couldn't even hold his hand to reassure him; he wasn't even allowed to know his room number.
If Shane didn’t wake up, he’d take his secrets—and Ilya—to the grave. Because if Shane died, he wasn’t sure he’d ever be able to resurface.Or: The “could have been worse” scenario from Shane and Marleau’s collision actually happened.
