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.

Thank you for being parents to me today. Was nice to not feel scared and alone. Love being part of Hollander family. ❤️
“My god, even I never get a heart emoji from you,” Shane laughed, handing the phone back to Ilya, who quickly sent the message. “It must be love.”
“It is,” Ilya said as his phone pinged again, a message from Yuna lighting up the screen.
And we love you, Ilya. We're here for you and Shane, always. Thank you for letting us take care of you. ❤️

Summary
“Holy shit, dude,” Hayden whispers, too loudly, as he pulls Shane away. “No way you were just talking to Ilya Rozanov.”
“Uh, yeah. We just met. Wait, did he lie to me?” Shane asks, looking back over his shoulder where Ilya is now standing next to a short but very muscular woman with long black hair. “What does he play?”
Hayden stops, so Shane does too.
“You don’t know who that was?”
Shane makes a face that says ‘no shit’, and waits for an answer.
“Dude. You are so innocent. Ilya Rozanov, ‘Russia’s Greatest Love Machine’?” Hayden says, like it’s obvious.
Shane looks at him blankly, and then Hayden laughs. Not like, a chuckle. He full on cackles, bending over like he can’t even contain it. “Man, he’s like prolific.”
“At what?” Shane snaps, because he’s getting really sick of not being in on the joke.
“He’s a porn star, man.”
“A-” Shane says, swallowing thickly. “What?”
---
Ilya is a porn star, Shane is a hockey player, and their paths cross.

Summary
“What? Hollander too scared to face me?” Ilya chirps, because if he goes another minute without at least mentioning the man that has been consuming his every thought for two weeks he might go insane. He needs someone else to acknowledge his existence, his absence, to fucking tell him what’s going on so he can finally get it off his mind. It’s just a stupid mystery. That’s why it bugs him.
And then Hayden Pike looks up. Dark bruised circles under his eyes, face pale like a sheet, eyes red rimmed and puffy like he has been crying all day. The face of a man mourning.
Ilya feels like the ice might crack under him. Something’s wrong with Shane.
***
Set pre-Tuna melt: something has happened to Shane Hollander, but of course no one is telling his life long rival what happened.

Private Meetings by hermacology

Summary
Shane Hollander works at a coffee shop, plays hockey, keeps his head down, and doesn’t ask questions he doesn’t need the answers to.
So when a new regular starts showing up—quiet, watchful, Russian-accented, and conducting invitation-only meetings in the back—Shane notices. When that same man takes an unsettling interest in Shane’s closing shifts, his routines, and his safety, Shane does what feels sensible: he adjusts his behavior and keeps his mouth shut.
Ilya Rozanov orders an Americano. He reads, but only in Russian. He worries when people work late alone.
They are operating with very different definitions of danger.
If he didn’t ask questions, he couldn’t be lied to.
The rules were simple.
1. Do not ask questions you don’t need the answer to.
2. Do not share personal information freely.
3. Do not be alone with Ilya Rozanov.
4. Do not give him a reason to think you’re afraid.Series
