    Summary

    In the wake of being outed by the infamous fanmail video, Shane plays one more season with the Montreal Voyagers. In the last year, the number of out, active players has gone from one to four and the Dallas Kent's of the league aren't taking it well. Ilya and Troy are protected by their teammates and the Admirals are ready to stand up for Scott but on the Voyagers, Hayden and JJ are fighting alone.
    Will Shane make it through the season?

    Summary

    Then. After the face off, after he's hit from behind, sliding across the ice, an explosion of pain and confusion. Once everything goes dark and confused, he's there, too. Il y a Ilya, il y a aucunne secondes. Il n'y a pas jamais qu'Ilya.

    There's talking, and he's being moved, strapped down, lifted, jostled carefully, rolled.

    "He's gonna worry," dribbles out of his mouth.

    "Your coach called your dad," one of the medics says calmly.

    "Not him," Shane feels slide through his teeth. "Ilya."

    In which Shane Hollander is personally victimized by the French language.

    OR

    Why no one questions Shane saying Ilya's name.

    Summary

    With sudden, obvious clarity, Hayden realized that maybe it wasn’t that Shane wasn’t comfortable with intimacy, but rather that the world—especially the world of the NHL—wasn’t comfortable with the type of intimacy Shane wanted.

    Or Hayden Pike POV as Shane comes to terms with being gay.

    Summary

    “What is it?” Rose asked.

    “There seems to be some kind of prank war going on with the guys. Somebody posted a screenshot of one of these fake rage-bait posts and now everyone else is joining in. They even made it look like ESPN. According to the title, Ilya Rozanov has just signed with the Bears, can you believe it?” They both had to laugh at the ridiculous idea.

    Hollander: ‘You guys are hilarious. I don’t know if there ever was a less likely scenario in the history of hockey.’

    Pike: ‘Dude, it’s real! Google it if you don’t believe it. The Russian media is going crazy too!’

     ___
    Or: Shane and Ilya had parallel careers with their respective teams in Canada and Russia. Following the death of Ilya's father, he is finally free to start a new life in America. The press are eager to pit these similar yet contrasting players against each other. Shane does everything he can to prevent that.

    Summary

    AU where Shane dated Jackie (when he was 17/she was 18), before she Clocked His Sweet Gay Ass, kept his secret and his friendship, and then met Hayden. Shortly thereafter, they meet Ilya.

    (Because I love an outsider POV on Hollanov and an earlier outing for Shane, but I'm also really into our collective love for WAG president, Mrs. Jackie Pike. This is a Jackie Pike Character Takeover AU wherein she's a bit of an amalgamation of Shane’s in-book, vaguely alluded-to teenage girlfriend, and Rose before Rose Rose’d lol.)

    Summary

    Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.

    It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.

    Summary

    After coming out to Rose, Shane decides he doesn't want to lie anymore, even if he isn't sure coming out will mean he gets happily ever after with Ilya. When coming out to the Voyageurs leaves him wondering what his future in Montreal might look like, he lets himself be a little selfish, he lets himself wonder if there might be somewhere else he might be happy. If Montreal wants to get rid of a generational player, he's not about to stop them, especially if it means he can get a little closer to joy.

    --

    Or: Shane Hollander leaves Montreal in search of something better.

    Summary

    Shane put God on a back burner sometime between the ages of eleven and twelve. It was around that time that he barely stepped foot off the ice. His dad would joke that he was born with skates on, while his mother cursed out a grown man for a bad play. God, religion, faith came second to the rush of adrenaline as he flew on the ice.

    It takes seventeen years and the love of his life being dead for twenty-eight minutes to relearn how to pray.

    -

    Or, Shane's game is cancelled and he reads Ilya's would have been last messages in a tiny hotel room with JJ and Hayden at his side.

    Summary

    There’s Lily, Shane’s Boston girl, but Hayden has no idea her number, where she lives, or what she looks like. She’ll have no way of finding Shane, of being there when he wakes up high and afraid, because he never did well with being out of control. Lily won’t be there. His parents won’t be there. 

    It’s the easiest decision he’s ever made. 

    Hayden skates off the rink, barely pausing as he starts stripping off his gear. Coach surges forward, lips curled up with some order to get back out there, no doubt. He doesn’t give him the chance, “I’m not leaving him. I go where he goes.” 

    And that’s that. 

    -

    Or, Shane doesn’t wake up so easily and Hayden Pike somehow ends up taking care of Ilya Rozanov. (Jackie does the heavy lifting; he’s just there for the ride and realizations.)

    Summary

    Ilya knows there is a thing about himself he has to always keep hidden in the deepest recesses of his body, behind his molars and in his core. He thinks Shane Hollander might be the same, except the thing about him he cannot hide.

    Ilya Rozanov is the biggest hockey talent of his generation. So is Shane Hollander.

    But over the years Ilya notices that the vicious media and the clamouring fans and some of his more foul-mouthed teammates treat Hollander differently than any other hockey player.
