    Summary

    In 2022, Ilya wakes up in a hospital in Ottawa with no memory of how he got there. He has hazy recollections of 2015, but he can't remember anything about the past seven years. He is shocked to learn he is now married to Shane Hollander, a fact that forces him to reconcile the decisions of his past self with the expectations he inherited from his father.
    --

    “I have this for you.” Hollander reached into his pocket, pulling out something gold, glinting under the cold hospital lighting. Holding his fist out, Hollander unfurled his hand, and the bottom fell out of Ilya’s heart, cratering through his stomach and spilling onto the floor.

    Shane Hollander stood before him, palm outstretched, cradling Irina Rozanova’s golden crucifix.

    Ilya flinched back, like he had been burned. Hollander’s warmth had moved too close, too fast, morphing into a threat and a violation. Hollander should not have that cross.

    Summary

    “You know,” Shane says to the nobody nearby that definitely doesn’t exist, “You don’t need to hit pause every time I do something mildly interesting.”

    The forest noise swells around him in a great gust of birdsong and tree branch rustling, as if the woods are huffing a laugh at him under their breath. Shane still doesn’t believe in fairytales or spirits, but he’s starting to think that maybe there is a personality to this place. He stops in his tracks at the thought.

    “I’m fucking losing it,” he whispers to himself. “That has to be what this is.”

    There’s something in the woods.

    Summary

    Ilya likes his life under the sea; he’s gorgeous, king of his pod, and the best whale hunter in generations. What more could he want, really?

    If only he could stop thinking about the captain of The Voyageur.

    Summary

    Shane coughs up a petal in Las Vegas, in a hotel elevator that’s going down.

    He has his hanahaki surgery a month later. There’s no other choice: Shane doesn’t want to die or stop playing hockey, and Rozanov has made it perfectly clear, over and over, that they are nothing to each other.

    But his post-surgery instructions don’t tell him how to keep playing in a league where Rozanov is still always there. Or what to do when Rozanov texts him before a game in Boston.

    Summary

    Heartbreak and hockey don't mix.

    Boston's Ilya Rozanov decides to do what he'd been putting off for years. He calls off his affair with Shane Hollander, Montreal extraordinaire, right before a Montreal vs Boston game. He gets a hockey puck shot right into his hamstring for it. Right in the middle of the game. Honestly, he never guessed Hollander had it in him to be vindictive.

    As for Shane...it works. He didn’t want to see Rozanov anymore. In this game. In this season. And now Ilya’s out. Ball and chained to healing and recovery, pain meds and physical therapy for the next year. Maybe when Rozanov comes back, Shane will be able to stomach breathing the same air as him again.

    And Rozanov will be back. That much is guaranteed. Shane just fails to measure how back Ilya Rozanov will be. If he thought Rozanov was a nightmare on the ice before his injury, he’s got a reckoning coming.

    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

    In 2014, Shane Hollander walked away from hockey, from the spotlight, and from every dream he built since he was 8 years old.

    In 2014, Ilya Rozanov felt like he was losing himself. So he pushed everything away, so no one would get hurt when he eventually cracked.

    Years later, they reunite, Shane — with so many scars, a thousand secrets, and a heart that never learned how to let go.

    Ilya Rozanov thought he knew what losing felt like.
    He was wrong.

    Or: Sometimes, love doesn’t leave.
    Sometimes, someone keeps it for you.

    Summary

    It was new, knowing he was cohabitating with his mother. They couldn't speak, not truly, and he couldn't feel her touch barring occasional cold spots, but there was a weight in the air just knowing she was there. Growing pains, Ilya thought softly.

    or

    Shane and Ilya struggle to be together while juggling his dead ghost mother's unfinished business, the mental illness Ilya swears he doesn't have, homophobia Shane promises he's not a victim of, and Russia which seems unwilling to let them go.

    Summary

    One third Russian, Japanese, and English, Shane Hollander arrives at the Imperial Court with one goal: restore his family's fading merchant title. He navigates Winter Palace politics with calculated precision offering counsel to nobles, infiltrating restricted kitchens, becoming indispensable.

    When handmade pryaniki catch Tsar Ilya's attention, Shane expects negotiation. Instead, Ilya sees through every defense he's built, noticing his inexperience with men. Desire crackles between them, raw and consuming. But Shane refuses to surrender, not until his family's name is restored.

    Summary

    A second, then a blur. Ilya knocking over one of the kitchen island stools to engulf Shane. His shaking frame holding Shane so tight, Shane felt himself shaking back. He could only hold on back, just as tightly.
    “Please.” Came the strangled voice by his left ear. “Please, tell me.”
    And who was Shane to ever deny a wish of Ilya Rozanov.
    “I’m signing to Ottawa. Tomorrow. If you would want to come with.”
    And then Ilya was shoving him back, holding him close to his face. “Of course. I drive. Of course I come.”
    Or
    Shane, fed up with Montreal, signs to Ottawa before their relationship is revealed. While he doesn't plan on keeping that a secret for long, he asks Ilya to let him get to know the team first, before they come out. To maybe have a normal season. Meanwhile, the rest of the Centaurs are going crazy trying to figure out what is going on between their captain and Shane Hollander and why they keep showing up in the same car??

    Summary

    Shane Hollander, captain of the Boston Raiders, is the the undisputed best hockey player of his generation. But he’s lonely. His relationships with women have never worked out, and he’s afraid he knows why.

    Ilya Rozanov is a charismatic, openly bisexual personal trainer and influencer. His content is half thirst traps, half brutal and perceptive hockey critique.

    It’s no surprise, really, that Shane falls for him so hard and so fast.

    Summary

    Welcome to 2025 MHL — where being gay isn’t a scandal, but having the Big Bad Russian Alpha Captain of Boston Raiders openly thirsting over the Pretty Omega Rookie of Montreal Metros definitely is.

    Nineteen year-old Shane Hollander just wanted to play hockey. After a viral scandal – collapsing on the ice and experiencing his first heat on national television during the International Prospect Cup – the Montreal Metros gave him a chance to rewrite his narrative. A life-changing entry contract. A media spotlight. And the title of the first omega in the MHL.

    Enter Ilya Rozanov: twenty-nine-year-old MHL veteran, Boston Raiders captain, and resident villain fans love to hate. An alpha who never forgets a pretty face once he’s seen it.

    And Shane Hollander has a very pretty face.

    A story for those who love confident, experienced Ilya courting a shy and overwhelmed Shane, who tries very hard to pretend he doesn’t enjoy it. Expect a ten-year age gap, primal tension, and an alpha taking care of his Babyboy Shane in public and private. Potential daddy kink.

    Semi-omegaverse. No mpreg. No babies. (I don’t like babies, sorry, lmao.)

    Slow-burn progression.

    Summary

    It was no secret that Ilya had been the bane of his father’s existence since the moment he was conceived. Finally presenting as an alpha was supposed to fix everything, to make Ilya worthy of being the king's son, but the only thing it ended up accomplishing was setting in motion the downfall of King Grigori Rozanov, all because he went and ripped a nameless omega off of Ilya's knot, mid-rut.

    ...

    When he emerged from the throne room, he looked to the side of the heavy doors, where Boodram stood guard. Boodram glanced down at the blood covering Ilya from head to toe, then at the severed head in Ilya’s hands and nodded once. “The remaining palace-goers are gathered in the main foyer,” he reported. “There were a few casualties. None from our side. We were forced to put down a few alphas who fought back.”

    Ilya began walking the familiar hallways, towards the sound of a confused crowd, the smell of fear permeating the air even from where they were. 

    “Let us hope that they were not the ones with knowledge of where Shane Hollander is being kept from me,” he murmured. “Or there will be hell to pay.”

    Summary

    “You’re going to Boston.”

    Long after Farah hangs up, the words keep echoing in Shane’s head. If he had thought his thoughts had been chaotic this morning, when his biggest problem had been his rival potentially fucking him when he came to Montreal in two weeks, that’s nothing compared to the code-red panic that started the instant he found out he was being traded to Rozanov’s team.

    Rozanov, who was supposed to be his great career rival. Rozanov, who he’s hooked up with twice now. Rozanov, who had been planning on coming to Shane’s apartment in Montreal to fuck him the next time they saw each other. God, how on Earth is Shane going to walk into his locker room in Boston in a few days time?

    The impending awkwardness of dealing with Rozanov is almost enough to eclipse the hurt he’s trying to ignore. The knowledge that Montreal values him so little that they’re willing to dispose of him only six months into his rookie season. Almost, but not quite.

    -

    Or, Shane gets traded to Boston AU.

    Summary

    Shane wasn’t stupid. He figured this was some kind of fucking cowardly tactic to keep him from being at the Games. Hopefully, that’s all they wanted. If he just played nice maybe this would all be over soon.

    No one was coming to save him.

    No one, except maybe Rozanov. And he was pretty sure Rozanov would just be pissed off at being stood up.

    Or: Shane goes missing before Sochi, and the only one who can save him is Ilya.
