    Summary

    What if Ilya and Shane never hooked up? What if Shane Hollander texted a wrong number in the middle of the night and Ilya Rozanov responded? What follows is a years long friendship (kinda) of two people who get to know everything about each other except their actual identities. Who is the first person Shane comes out to? The person he's been texting for years whose real name he still doesn't know. Who does Ilya spill his guts to about his mom and how awful his family is? The weird person who texted him accidentally one night and then didn't stop. It will take years before either of them realizes the truth about their texting partner.
    In the background, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov's iconic rivalry is still what everyone in the hockey world talks about, and they still annoy the shit out of each other.

    This fic is mostly written, and will be roughly 20,000 words when fully published.

    Summary

    The plant is fake, the throw pillows are strategic, and her newest client is a 6'3" NHL captain who points an accusing finger at her and says, "You're supposed to fix me."

    Galina Molchalina didn't move across an ocean to be yelled at in her own language. But here we are.

    The Long Game, from the other side of the couch.

    Summary

    “My niece…” He swallows and looks down at Shane. Shane takes his hand and squeezes it.

    “Her mother, ah, caught her with another girl.” Shane’s eyes bug out. He knows what this means. He knows what Ilya’s family is like.

    “Is she…”

    “Sveta has her. They take the next train out to Kazakhstan. Then we figure out visa and Canada.”

    Or: Ilya’s niece is caught kissing a girl and has to run to Canada.

    Ilya and Shane have to learn to be parents and Arina finds out maybe some things (like gender and sexuality) aren’t so set in stone.

    Summary

    “Why do you even care?”

    Shane whirled to him, “Why do I care? This is fucked up on so many levels, I know we’re not exactly friends but I'm not letting this happen to you. You should always be able to go home. And this can't be how the first person comes out in the NHL.”

    “I trust you. Let's do it.”

    Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander famously hated each other, and for 6 years they had floated in each other’s orbits. Constantly competing, chirping and, as much as they would both deny it, there was definitely some heated staring from afar.

    All that changes when Shane runs into Ilya on the roof of a club in Boston, with a cigarette in hand and a problem Shane was convinced he could fix.

    Or: What would've happened if Shane and Ilya never did the CCM photoshoot, becoming real rivals?
