    Summary

    Shane has known since they met that Ilya Rozanov was the endgame. The painful path to get there was always going to be their biggest problem.

    -Or-

    Shane and Ilya meet at hockey camp at 12 years old. They grow together, learn languages, learn they are soulmates, but for the sake of their careers choose to resist their bond and only hook up when their paths cross. A story of 9+ years of feeling half- alive and wildly in love, of grief, of endlessly pining, seeking the other, and how their sun-drenched happy ending was always waiting in the wings.

    Summary

    What if everything in the MLH Awards rooftop scene had.gone completely differently?

    "I feel like I'm home. I don't know what that means. I have never felt at home anywhere in a long time. But right now. With you inside me. Your hands on me. I am home."

    A canon divergence from Heated Rivalry Episode 1 "Rookies." The MLH awards rooftop scene, rewritten - what Shane and Ilya truly feel about each other, and about the award, when nobody walks away. A character study on how Ilya's scars impact him, on how deeply and freely Shane loves him, and the start of something beautiful. Two boys. One trophy. Zero words big enough for what they feel for each other.

    Summary

    The line connects and Shane is met with a chaotic jumble of noise. Loud music and voices 

    “Hello?”  

    “hmm, hello” 

    Shane freezes

    The voice is deep and familiar but there’s something different about it, something heavy and a bit slurred 

    “Rozanov? Are you—are you drunk right now?”

    Or: Shane sends a risky text, Ilya does not take it well

    Summary

    The Boston Raiders take Ilya to the Fort Worth Stockyards for Price’s birthday, where he discovers chaps and immediately becomes convinced they were invented for fucking. The team insists they’re for riding horses, but Ilya remains deeply skeptical. Naturally, he buys a pair and ships them to his favorite Canadian captain—because if they’re really for riding, Shane Hollander should have no problem putting them to good use.

    -----------------------
    “You know what they say, kotenok.”

    “What?” Shane asks between breaths.

    Ilya tilts the brim down slightly.

    “Something about if you take a man’s hat…” he says lazily. “He belongs to you.”

    Then he looks up at Shane again.

    And for a moment he just stares.

    And the stupid thing is… it’s true.

    Ilya belongs to him. Completely.

    Not just tonight. Not just here in this ridiculous moment with the cowboy hat and the leather chaps and Shane flushed and breathless in his lap.

    Always. Since the very beginning.

    Since the first day Shane found him standing alone out in the parking lot. Awkward. Stubborn. Pretending he didn’t need anyone.
