    Summary

    “What is there to talk about?”

    “What’s there to talk about?!” Hollander scoffed, shaking his head. “You’re playing for my fucking team!”

    “I know.”

    “Why did you have to go and get traded?! You realise we’re going to have to see each other every day from now on, and play together, and-”

    “Yes,” Ilya interrupted. He didn’t want to know how long Hollander’s list was. “I know.”

    Hollander took a deep breath. “Okay, listen,” he said. “Just so we’re clear - we don’t know each other outside of playing against each other, right?”

    “Right.”

    “And we can’t- can’t hook up anymore.”

    ~

    OR: Ilya gets traded to Montreal in October 2014. He's lonely, and angry, and he misses Boston. He doesn't know if it helps that Hollander is there or not.

    Summary

    The woman on television delivers matter-of-fact statements about the accident in a smooth monotone while multiple video perspectives play across the screen, gathered from a multitude of news outlets and social media posts:

    "Montreal Captain and proud member of the Hockey for Hope Charity League, Shane Hollander, was violently attacked this afternoon during a League team meet-and-greet. The attacker is described as a masked man of average height and weight, driving a dark four-door sedan with New Jersey plates..."

    OR

    Shane is assaulted by an obsessive fan after a charity game and briefly hospitalized. Rumors fly that Ilya hired the attacker to take Shane off the ice and rig the playoffs. Bound and determined to protect his boyfriend's reputation as a sportsman (and tired of being forced apart during medical emergencies), Shane rallies the troops for a chaotic coming out statement.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is bitten by Dallas Kent on the ice.

    He doesn’t quite hit the mating mark. Not entirely. But the action is enough to start a revolution of the hockey league, where outdated laws about alphas and omegas in sports are questioned by the public.

    Shane’s just trying to recover, having never wanted to be the centre of attention in a situation like this.

    And Ilya, in between supporting his partner and captaining the ship of the proposed “Equitable Treatment Act” to protect omegas in sports, is out for Dallas’ blood.

    Fic is exclusive AO3 but also shared on my Tumblr, both under the same name! Title is from the Halestorm song of the same name. Additional tags and trigger warnings to be included at the beginning of each chapter, when needed 🖤

    Summary

    “I’ve…seen you around campus and it’s good to finally meet you. Like, properly.” He fumbled over the words, his tongue feeling thick and heavy and entirely too big for his mouth. Whether it was from the weed or the nerves from Ilya's presence, Shane couldn't tell.

    “I’ve seen you, too.” Ilya grabbed the cigarette from behind his ear, bringing it to his mouth before lighting it.

    “Really?” He watched as Ilya took a long inhale from the cigarette. Shane wanted to say something in that moment, something about how mixing alcohol, weed, and nicotine was probably a bad idea, but the words died in his throat as Ilya blew out smoke from the corner of his mouth and grinned at him. He looked so fucking good.

    Da, Shane Hollander.” Shane fought back a shiver as his name fell from Ilya’s lips. He loved how Ilya’s voice had wrapped around the vowels, long drawn out and quiet. He wanted to hear it again and again.

    or, Shane Hollander has had a crush on Ilya Rozanov from afar for the past three years. They finally meet at a party.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander works at a coffee shop, plays hockey, keeps his head down, and doesn’t ask questions he doesn’t need the answers to.

    So when a new regular starts showing up—quiet, watchful, Russian-accented, and conducting invitation-only meetings in the back—Shane notices. When that same man takes an unsettling interest in Shane’s closing shifts, his routines, and his safety, Shane does what feels sensible: he adjusts his behavior and keeps his mouth shut.

    Ilya Rozanov orders an Americano. He reads, but only in Russian. He worries when people work late alone.

    They are operating with very different definitions of danger.

    If he didn’t ask questions, he couldn’t be lied to.

    The rules were simple.

    1. Do not ask questions you don’t need the answer to.
    2. Do not share personal information freely.
    3. Do not be alone with Ilya Rozanov.
    4. Do not give him a reason to think you’re afraid.
