    Summary

    Shane Hollander lands his breakout role opposite Ilya Rozanov in a buzzy rivals-to-lovers adaptation. Their on-screen chemistry is electric & their off-screen “practice” is supposed to be no strings attached. When the show airs, the internet starts paying attention & all the lines start to blur.

     

    Or…what if Shane & Ilya were actors who met on the set of an HR-like show and are still idiots falling in love.

    (Don't worry, Ilya is down bad in every universe. Lots of yearning from our fav sweet yearners, some angst but also fluff/HEA. Not rpf)
     ——————————————————

    “Can I ask you something?” Ilya said.
    Shane’s stomach flipped. “Okay.”
    Ilya hesitated, then said, “Have you ever been with a man?”

    “But,” Ilya added, studying him, “I know you, Shane Hollander.”
    “You do?”
    “You want it to be perfect,” Ilya said simply. “You want to be the best one in the room. Every time.”

    “For authenticity,” Shane said, clinging to the word.
    Ilya’s mouth curved. “Exactly,” he said. “If that helps.”
     ...
    “I’m not saying you need to,” Ilya added. Then the smirk slipped back in to place. “But if you ever decide you want to...I’m here and willing.”

    Summary

    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are solid.

    Married. Stable. Established. The NHL’s favorite “we didn’t see that coming” love story turned domestic success.

    They have a house. A dog that likes Ilya better. A shared calendar that Shane actually uses.

    They’ve learned how to grocery shop without arguing about brands of pasta.

    They are, objectively, fine.

    Which is precisely the problem.

    Somewhere between sponsorship shoots, playoff runs, and arguing over whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher, the fire that once burned hot enough to survive secrecy and rivalry has… softened. Not gone. Not broken. Just familiar.
    Comfortable. Predictable.

    When a league marketing campaign crowns them “Hockey’s Ultimate Love Story” and assigns a documentary crew to follow them around for the season, Shane jokingly tells Ilya:
    “Guess you’re going to have to fall in love with me again on camera.”

    Ilya smirks. “Please. I could make you fall in love with me again in one week.”

    It’s a joke.

    Until it becomes a challenge.

    Summary

    When Shane left Montréal to play for Ottawa Jackie's recurring grocery list reflects the loss, and her fridge and pantry are stocked for weekly dinners that no longer happen. It's hard to adjust to the new normal when the reminders of abhorrent behavior from grown men are like neon signs every time she gets a snack for her kids.
