    Summary

    The Boston Bears group chat had sixty-three new messages in the span of three minutes.

    His coffee forgotten, Ilya swiped open the chat, scrolling quickly to find the source of the commotion. A link to The Athletic, posted by Jensen, their captain, followed by a string of exclamation points. Ilya tapped it, the headline materializing on his screen like a blow to the chest:

    BREAKING: MONTREAL VOYAGEURS’ SECOND DRAFT SHANE HOLLANDER ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT

    Ilya's pulse jumped, hard and sudden in his throat. The mug slipped from his hand, not falling but landing too heavily on the counter, coffee slopping over the rim. He set it down properly, his movements mechanical, and forced himself to read the rest of the headline:

    20-YEAR-OLD ROOKIE OF THE YEAR STEPPING AWAY TO PURSUE HARVARD BUSINESS DEGREE

    Or

    Shane Hollander has spent his entire life living and breathing hockey. At twenty, at the height of his career, he makes an unthinkable choice: he walks away to discover who he is beyond the ice.

    But some things don’t stay behind.

    What happens when the rivalry between him and Rozanov ends, but the pull doesn’t?

    Summary

    This time when the phone rings, he’s ready. Ready in the only way he knows how to be, the way he would be on the ice: breath coming sharp, heart beating fast, adrenaline dripping. He’d known Shane would call again, the way he’d known Shane would get back on the ice in Detroit, wearing his shoulder injury like a badge. Shane can be very stubborn, sometimes. Shane should know better, this time. Ilya can’t be held responsible for whatever comes next. He picks up on the fifth ring.

    “This doesn’t have to be so difficult,” Shane says. He doesn’t sound angry. Mostly, he just sounds tired.

    Ilya laughs, manic around the edges.

    “I am not supposed to be easy for you, Hollander,” he says, “Big arch rival. Haven’t you heard?”

    Summary: Set during the timeline of the show, from the situationship era to the cottage. Over the years, Shane and Ilya learn how to talk to one another - bodies first, voices second.

    This story is complete with six chapters, and will be updated regularly.

    Summary

    After a decade of careful hiding, that’s that.

    Everyone is saying his biggest secret out loud. Ilya Rozanov sucks cock. Ilya Rozanov fucks men. Ilya Rozanov isn’t straight.

    It doesn’t feel quite as life crushing as he imagined it would. A calmness settles into his body. It reminds him of those minutes right after you break a bone, when the damage is already done and you know there’s nothing you can do but sit with it.

    It hasn’t even been four years since Russia passed the excessively named Law for the Purpose of Protecting Children from Information Advocating a Denial of Traditional Family Values.

    He can’t think about that now.

    ***

    Two months after the tuna melt incident, Ilya gets outed when a picture of him texting Jane leaks.

    Summary

    It might have been easier to fall to his knees and beg for forgiveness. But his boyfriend was a dangerous thing right now, and God help him, Ilya couldn’t resist. He liked it when Shane’s sharp edges caught his soft sides, when all of his intensity bubbled onto the surface.

    “Did you want me to sign your tits too, Hollander?” he asked. “Make things even?”

    There was some saying about playing stupid games.

    Or: a drunken fan interaction was making its rounds on social media, and Ilya knew that apologies weren’t cheap.

    Summary

    Two years ago, Shane Hollander walked away from hockey and vanished. Now his old friends want to know where he's been.

    Unfortunately, every answer seems to involve Ilya Rozanov.

    Between a monster hunt in the northern woods, a camping trip with people who don't trust Ilya, and Shane's increasingly obvious willingness to choose him over literally everyone else, the weekend gets complicated fast.
