    Summary

    In 2007, 16-year-old Ilya Rozanov travels to Ottawa to win gold. Again.

    Canada hasn’t forgiven him after the Junior Olympics. Shane Hollander least of all.

    When Ilya is assigned to billet with the Hollanders for the World Championships, the rivalry moves from the ice to the dinner table. But beneath the bruises, the pressure, and the weight of growing up, something else begins to grow.

    **Basically me turning Heated Rivalry into a wholesome, found family, heartstopper-esque, YA spin-off**

    Summary

    “Oh, I’m not sure you’re supposed to smoke here,” Hollander said as Ilya grabbed his hand. He had forgotten he was even smoking.
    “Okay,” replied Ilya. With his other hand, he quickly pulled the cigarette from his mouth and let it hang between his fingers. He didn’t let go of Hollander.
    “You’re an awesome player to watch,” Hollander’s eyes shifted to their hands.
    “Yes,” Ilya said.
    There was a silence then, and Hollander withdrew his hand slowly. Ilya’s eyes didn’t leave his cheeks, admiring how his freckles look with a rose tint.
    “Anyways, I should-”
    “Have you eaten?” Ilya interrupted

    Summary

    Several years into Rozanov’s career, ESPN hires a reporter fluent in Russian.

    Suddenly able to answer questions fluently and with a wide vocabulary, Rozanov’s interviews go viral. Hockey fans around the world get a new look at what they thought about Boston’s #81. This changes not only his public persona, but his whole life.

    Inspired by the look on NBA star Nikola Jokić’s face when he was asked a question in his native Serbian and my own struggles learning a new language.

    This is my little playground where I smash HR characters together to make them communicate better. Sometimes, it even works.

    Fair warning: My definition of "dude" is very broad.

    Each work CAN technically be read as a standalone. But they're built on each other, so you might have more fun if you read them in order.

    Summary

    If someone had told Ilya Rozanov two and a half years ago that he would find everything he'd ever wanted in life—affection, understanding, and support—all in one place, and that he wouldn't even have to look too hard for it, he would have laughed that person out of the room, and then followed them to find out how such a reality could possibly exist.

    But as he stands in the guest bedroom of his best friend's parents' cottage, for the first time in life, Ilya is starting to believe that the ghosts in his attic have vacated the premise for good. After all, he has Shane Hollander standing guard at the door.

     

    Or: Ilya Rozanov goes to the cottage in his rookie season with his best friend Shane Hollander, and their friendship strains under the weight of everything they couldn't say out loud to each other.

    A reimagining of Shane and Ilya’s love story, from fresh-faced junior rookies to fast friends to slow-burn lovers. But not that slow, because there is no way these two idiots manage to stay in murky waters for ten whole years.

    The title is taken from Andre Aciman's quote 'Perhaps we were friends first and lovers second. But then perhaps this is what lovers are.'

    Summary

    "Hi, solnyshko.”
    The Russian pet name set a firework off inside Shane's mind as he heard it cooed from behind him. The intonation was just as he remembered, but the voice was much deeper.

    He turned and felt himself short circuit. It took every ounce of willpower to not let his jaw drop cartoonishly to the floor. Shane would recognize his individual features anywhere, even after 5 years. But it was as if someone had snapped their fingers and the smug, silly Russian boy who had been attached to Shane's hip for 3 summers was transformed into some sort of fucking Adonis right before his eyes.

    “Ilya-” was all Shane managed before strong arms were wrapped around his waist and lifting him off the ground in a greeting all too familiar from years ago.

     

    OR
    When Shane Hollander & Ilya Rozanov spent their summers as teens in an elite hockey camp, they quickly became inseparable friends. But they lose touch when Shane moves on as a prospect for the NHL and Ilya for the KHL.

    Years later, Montreal makes a bold move to take the hottest player in the KHL. After hearing of the Russian's reputation, the Montreal Captain is tasked with keeping his old best friend and new teammate out of trouble.

    Summary

    Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”

    “Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.

    “No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”

    “Go fuck yourself.”

    +++

    Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.

    And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

    Summary

    Shane and Ilya have come to terms with their feelings and have a plan. The plan is solid and will work, and it's all based on them two being friends. Maybe best friends even, but very good friends at the very least.

    But at some point it becomes obvious people will believe what they want to believe, so what's the point in even stressing about it or even hiding in the first place?

    Summary

    How did he let this happen?

    Shane's not sure.

    One moment, he was on the gym floor not staring at Rozanov's gorgeous sweaty body. Then Shane was standing up, but his legs were weak for some god forsaken reason and Rozanov was there, just an arm around his waist to keep him upright, and now...

    Well.

    Now Shane's on his knees on the floor of Ilya Rozanov's shower.

    Summary

    Shane does not know what he is staring at when he reads the name of the chat and the influx of texts.

    This looks like actual hell, and more importantly why on earth would Ilya add him to the Boston WAGS chat?

    TLDR: In an attempt to socialise in this new country Ilya puts 'jane' down as his WAG to connect to the team, this has unforeseen consequences for himself.
