    Summary

    In which Ilya comes back to room fourteen ten.

     

    Canon divergent from, and following directly after, s01e01 when Ilya leaves Shane's hotel room. Contains Ilya being a provocative dick, Shane being unable to resist rising (ha) to it, too much discussion of chicken, some David Attenborough, Shane negotiating his feelings and interpersonal relationships with all his classic suavity and skill, and as much sex as two nineteen year old professional athletes can fit into one evening.

    Summary

    Just before his 21st birthday, Shane Hollander left the team that drafted him and signed on with Boston Raiders, his one-time rival. He left his parents, his apartment, his routine, the rumors swirling around the Metros locker room, and the country he calls home. In their place he has a six foot Russian in his bed and a new team of strangers on the ice. Can he learn how to navigate their expectations while hiding his relationship with their star center before the secrets he's been hiding from Ilya bleed into their future together? And if he can manage that, can he also help bring the Raiders their next Stanley Cup before his team learns the truth?

    Summary

    Summary

    Hayden: Babe.
    Hayden:...do you think Shane could be gay?

    Jackie: Definitely.

    Hayden: Wait, seriously?

    Jackie: Yeah, I’ve suspected for years.
    Jackie: But why do you think so all of a sudden?

    Hayden: Okay, we have to come back to that but.
    Hayden: I got a message from him that I don’t think was meant for me…

    Jackie: What did it say?

    Hayden: You’re going to make me type it out?

    Jackie: Hayden, you’re thirty years old. Type out the message. It can’t be that bad.

    Hayden: Something about missing a cock desperately.

    Summary

    “He’s drunk,” Hayden shoots back. “And I’m taking him home.”

    “No.”

    The word is sharp. Final. Hayden’s eyes flash. “You don’t get to make that call.”

    Ilya’s voice drops, dangerous. “You think I will let him leave with someone else when he can barely stand?”

    “Someone else?” Hayden scoffs. “I’ve known him for ten years. I'm his best friend. Who the hell are you to him, Rozanov?”

    Shane is drunk. Hayden and Ilya both want to take care of him.

    Summary

    Ilya kisses Shane’s throat and hears his shaky exhale, shifts closer as Shane’s hands find Ilya’s back and knead into him. They move to his shoulders, caressing the muscles, then land on his narrow, firm waist with a squeeze.
    Shane says, “God, your body is insane.”
    Ilya laughs into the hinge of Shane’s jaw, biting him gently. “You have not even seen it.”
    Shane swallows; Ilya feels it against his lips. And Shane murmurs, “Am I going to?”
    “Mm. Open this door. Now.”
    * * *
    Shane Hollander is a former professional cyclist who now owns a bike shop in Colorado. Ilya Rozanov, the tattoo artist who owns the shop next door, thinks boy scout Shane Hollander should take a ride on his motorcycle instead. But what starts out as a casual fling can't stay that way for long--not once Shane and Ilya discover the depths of their chemistry (and Ilya the many benefits of little spandex shorts). Both of them have been hurt before, and the only way to move forward is to get over their pasts. It's a hill climb in both directions, but if Shane Hollander can do anything, it's push himself to endure the burn when he knows the ride home will be that much more satisfying.

    Summary

    Shane has learned that Rozanov played in the KHL up until signing with the Centaurs. His departure from his previous team seemed to end on anything but friendly terms. He has a reputation. Trouble always seems to find him. Or maybe he chases it. There’s stories about fights in the locker room, authority issues, and he’s apparently a notorious party boy, a womanizer, some new omega on his arm in every photo online.

    (Yes, Shane has checked).

    He’s all the kinds of alpha that Shane has rolled his eyes at all his life.

    And Shane hates the way he blushes under the alpha’s attention.

     

    Or: Shane loves hockey, but was never allowed to go pro due to regulations preventing omegas from playing professional hockey. Instead, he works as a nutritionist for the Ottawa Centaurs. Ilya is a recent transfer to the team, and takes an immediate liking to Shane. Having built walls around himself and his designation, will Shane be able to open up to him and let the alpha in?

    Summary

    "You sure about this?” Pike asked as Ilya made it to the door.

    The scent was so strong here it felt like Ilya was walking through a cloud of aerosolized candy. It felt sticky on his skin, in his hair. Ilya could feel the warm flush on the tops of his ears, across his cheeks. He blinked a few times, letting the beta’s words sink in. “Yes, fine,” he growled back.

    Thankfully, it didn’t seem like Pike was affected at all, thanks to his scent-blind beta nose. “So… there’s no easy way to say this,” the man said nervously. “The guys totally fucked up.” He handed over a plain black wallet.

    Ilya opened it, found the Boston College ID card and pulled it out. A handsome Asian boy looked back at him. He had short black hair, warm golden skin, and dark eyes. There was a shadow stretched across his cheeks, something Ilya couldn’t quite make out in the tiny picture. Shane Hollander, the card read. Sophmore. 

    “How the hell do they make this mistake?” Ilya half-shouted. He snarled again, fought against it, got his face under control. “Fuck.” 

    “Yeah,” Pike agreed. “Fuck.”

    Sometimes the first step in finding true love is to accidentally kidnap the wrong guy.

    Summary

    "I did not think it would be this hard to resist …” he muttered, mostly to himself. It was English, so Shane was supposed to hear it. He licked his parted lips, like he was fighting the urge to taste.

    It wasn't playing fair, but Shane had been watching and learning. Mrs Rozanova had compromised. She had found a way to make peace with her husband's proclivities. If it was really up to Mrs Rozanova, there would be no omega and no baby. Shane reached down and covered what he could of himself with one hand. "I'm sorry," he whispered, "my body is betraying me. I can't help my instincts."

    Rozanov's fingers were clamped around his wrist in an instant, removing the offending hand. "It is natural," Rozanov reasoned.

    "Does she know?" Shane asked, hoping it wasn't too far.

    "Know what?" asked Rozanov, meeting Shane's eyes again.

    "What you did? What we did?"

    With a slow shake of his head, he confirmed the suspicions. "Nope."

    Shane is stone cold broke. Rent is going up, and the cost of living isn’t coming down. Either he finds a sugar daddy or another solution — and fast. In a moment of madness, he answers a lucrative ad looking for a surrogate.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov, Boston college student, starts going to a new local gym that popped up after getting a free membership from his friend, Cliff. The place is nice, not to crowded on the days he's there. He starts going on a regular basis, and over time starts harboring a slight crush on one of the employees. Too bad he doesn't do relationships. Or guys in general, really.

    Shane, on the other hand, is harboring a crush of his own on one of the gyms regulars. The difference is, he's planning to do something about it. Whether Ilya wants it or not.

    Summary

    "If this is it," Shane whispered, so quietly only Ilya could hear, "you won't face a single second of it alone."

    Ilya closed his eyes. His fingers tightened around Shane's hand with everything he had left.

    He saw the fear in Ilya’s eyes.

    Then he saw nothing.

    *******

    It was supposed to be an ordinary flight. Instead, it becomes the worst day of their lives.

    They were never meant to be on the same plane. Then the unthinkable happens. It goes down.

    As terrified passengers flee the wreckage, Shane refuses to abandon the man he loves, even as rescuers and survivors alike order him to get out. Trapped beneath twisted metal, Ilya is running out of time. And while they wait for help, the secret they've spent years protecting slips into the hands of strangers with phones.

    In an instant, the whole world is watching. Hockey can burn. The headlines can wait.

    Shane Hollander has exactly one job: keep Ilya alive.

    Because if they survive this, he'll have to protect more than Ilya's life. He'll have to protect everything they've built together against impossible odds.

    Summary

    Rozanov clicks his tongue. “Rude of you to wear scent blockers, Shane Hollander. How else will I know I’ve impressed you when I out-score you tonight?”

    Shane’s eyes snap up at that, guarded. “I guess you won’t.”

    Rozanov grins, cocky. Tart and irreverent bergamot cloud his senses. “Oh, I’ll know.”

    Or: Veteran player Shane Hollander finds himself the object of rookie Ilya Rozanov's attentions. Which sucks because he definitely wants nothing to do with the alpha. For sure.

    Summary

    Ilya failed to walk slowly. He was too excited. When he reached the omega’s door he was at least five minutes early, but he knocked anyway.

    There was scrambling inside. Ilya waited. Then the door opened and there stood Shane. He was wearing a pair of suit pants, and a crisp white suit shirt but it was half off, hanging open over his chest.

    “Why were you wearing a suit?” Ilya asked, with a smirk.

    “Why are you early?” Hollander shot back.

    Ilya pushed into the room, gently but firmly, closing the door behind him. Shane stood a few feet away with his shirt open, smelling amazing and Ilya wanted to touch him very badly.

    “Were you wearing a suit to greet me?” Ilya asked, grinning.

    “No,” Shane said firmly. “I was just in the middle of getting dressed.”

    “A wasted effort,” Ilya smirked. “Since I am here to undress you.”

    OR

    A show canon themed smutty omegaverse fic in which nothing is a secret but it takes Ilya ages to figure out he's in love.
