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
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
Fandoms: Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry (TV)
18 Feb 2026
Tags
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

would you still love me by UglyGreenJacket

Summary
“Hey,” Ilya’s voice, deep and rough, resonates through Shane all the way down to the bottoms of his feet.
He turns his head toward the sound, but doesn’t open his eyes, instead opting just to keep the blissed-out look on his face as he waits to hear what Ilya’s going to say.
Shane imagines it’ll be something like, ‘You are perfect. Such a good boy.’
Or maybe in Russian, ‘I love you so much.’
But much more likely, ‘I give you ten minutes, and then I blow you in the shower.’
Fingers brush against his cheek, and Shane leans into the touch, lost in the feeling of being loved and wanted so wholly. And then, “Would you still love me if I was a worm?”
His eyes open, and he wonders if his dopamine-addled brain has just misheard. “I’m sorry. What?”

Summary
Ilya Rozanov built his tech empire from nothing, but the CEO who always wins is suddenly losing the one fight that matters—custody of his six-year-old niece, Alexandra. A strict judge, hostile old-money grandparents, and a brutal legal brief all paint him as too busy to be the parent she needs.
Shane Hollander, the NHL’s first openly omega captain, has spent his entire career proving he belongs. At thirty-two, with contract negotiations looming and a franchise in quiet turmoil, he’s one bad headline away from having his legacy written for him.
They come from two different worlds—until a chance meeting on a Cape Cod beach leads to a marriage of convenience. Shane offers the stable two-parent home the court wants. Ilya will use his connections to the incoming Voyageurs ownership group, and his considerable influence to make sure Shane walks into contract negotiations as something other than a question mark.
Everyone gets what they need. Shane gets to keep his contract. Ilya gets to keep his niece. And absolutely no one will fall in love.
Really.

Summary
“‘Project Phoenix’?” Shane read out, looking up questioningly.
“Wiebe’s brainchild,” Crowell waved his hand dismissively.
“It’s, ah…a new initiative the League is trying out,” Wiebe jumped in. “Kind of like a…work-exchange program.”
After the catastrophic loss of his entire hero team, traumatized dispatcher Shane Hollander is assigned to lead Project Phoenix, a covert initiative that attempts to rehabilitate former supervillains into heroes.

Summary
In Vegas, after they’d said everything right up to the edge of I love you, Shane and Ilya came up with a plan. It was long term, with many, many steps. There might be a spreadsheet somewhere that Shane won’t admit to.
But it’s a plan, nonetheless. Over the summer of 2014, they tweak it and add things important to the both of them. There are even many, extensive, contingency plans.
OR
Thanks to Shane's small lie the first time they hooked up, Shane and Ilya are together years earlier. Now, they have to figure out what to do about it.

Summary
When Shane takes a hard hit on the ice, he wakes up three days later to find his reality has been shattered. But the truth is, it wasn’t reality at all. Just an elaborate set of false memories conjured by a brain injury. 'False memory syndrome' they call it. Shane calls it a nightmare he couldn't have imagined.
Or
Shane doesn’t have amnesia. Instead, he wakes up wanting his boyfriend only to realize his brain concocted a bunch of fake memories of a nine year situationship and Shane has no idea how to live in his actual reality that Ilya hasn’t been a part of. Luckily, Ilya is…curious.

Summary
A song starts, one Shane has definitely never heard before, and one spotlight illuminates the stage. A singular man with a large frame is revealed, and his body is shrouded in shadow, which piques Shane’s interest. His shoulders are broad and well-muscled, and he’s wearing a fucking toga, which Shane finds kind of hilarious. He lets out a high pitched giggle, and Rose elbows him as she sips her drink. He follows suit, taking a long pull of the vodka, because goddamn this man is downright godly. Shane can see each dip and depression, the shadows from the spotlight throwing him into stark contrast. His body is made of lean lines and bulging muscle, and Shane is already enthralled.
As the song picks up the man’s chin tilts up, revealing hazel eyes and plush, pink lips. His jaw is stubbled but not bearded, and his light curls gleam in the light. Everything about him is fucking attractive, but Shane assumes if you put your body on display for money, you better look the part. Even with that in mind, Shane is vaguely aware of wanting to put his tongue all over this man’s glorious body.
Ilya is a stripper living in LA who captures the attention of hockey player Shane Hollander. This is the story of their relationship.

Summary
"This is not over", Rosanov said lightly, his accent just a tick thicker now. It should have sounded like a challenge, instead, it felt like an invitation, spread out in front of him, ready to be adopted.
Shane realized he was more than pleased to accept it, not to correct him, not to defeat him, but to get a glimpse of what laid hidden beneath this cocky smile and this almost concerning calmness. Which other thoughts might shatter his own determinated view of this world, in which ways Rosanov was able to disarrange him.

Summary
In a world where homophobia and queer fear doesn't exist, in a world where love can happen out in the open for anyone and everyone, Shane Hollander is still stubbornly single. As the Captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he insists he's too focused on hockey and his career for a relationship, when in reality, old fears of being seen as "the hockey weirdo" keep him from unmasking.
That is, until Ilya Rozanov enters his life. The newly single Captain of the Ottawa Centaurs, after a decade-long relationship ends amicably, is now interested in the one man who won't give him the time of day.
So when Shane, while on National Television, tells Ilya he'll have to "impress him" to earn that first date, Ilya takes it as the greatest challenge of his life. What follows is a whirlwind of grand romantic gestures, public flirting, chirping (flirting) on the ice, social media ploys and and ever escalating spectacle. All while the NHL, their friends, their family, their teams, and fans across the continent watch, cheer, and place bets on when Shane will finally say yes.

Summary
“Ilya. That was his name. Ilya. Ilya, who always ordered his ice cold monstrosity of a vanilla latte with 8 pumps of vanilla syrup and whole milk. Ilya, a dog walker by profession and the most irritating person on planet earth by trade. Shane had never met anyone so absolutely infuriating before. It made him feel exhausted before 9:30 am, which, as someone who also had to go work his shifts at The Kingfisher right after working at the coffee shop every Thursday and Saturday, was really unfortunate.”
Harvard Law student Ilya Rozanov loves nothing more than annoying barista and Biology grad student Shane Hollander. When their paths cross at Shane’s second job as a bartender, Shane makes some interesting realizations about how he feels towards his nemesis. They say the line between love and hate is quite thin. For Shane and Ilya, it might not even exist at all.
