    Summary

    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been best friends since they were twelve. They were attached at the hip, as much as two straight guys could be.
    Everyone accepted that Shane and Ilya were just being Shane and Ilya.

    Or: Shane and Ilya think they know where to draw the line between straight best friends and whatever the hell they keep doing.

    Really funny "straight" besties trope, with a ton of sweetness and great characterizations of the boys and their crew. So so hot. Will definitely re-read!

    Summary

    “I have a surprise for you all, if you’ve been good boys and girls.” Ariana gestured across the lawn, where pink X-shaped crosses now dotted the landscape. Handcuffs dangled from the top of each.
    “Two, if we’re being technical. Islanders, please welcome our new bombshells! They will be giving you a very warm welcome. If you’re chosen, that is. Have fun…”

    Shane's wrists pulled against his restraints, heart thudding. A finger ran over his lips, shushing him. Then two hands appeared, tracing his body, warm and firm over his exposed skin. Shane panted, dizzy and delirious. Through the haze, he started smiling. He was straight. He was actually straight. Irrefutably hard as hell for some sexy new bombshell.

    A hand traced Shane’s jaw, almost tender, and their hips pressed together again for just a moment. Shane’s mind stuttered, his own hardness meeting…something else.
    Warm breath wafted into his ear. “I will give you some time to ah, calm down, yes?”
    Shane jerked back, hitting his head against the cross with a loud curse.
    The voice was Russian. Vaguely familiar. And unmistakably male.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is many things—a pain in Shane Hollander’s ass, hockey’s biggest playboy, a better chirper in his second language than most people are in their first, the only player who can challenge Shane for the title of “best of his generation.” But when Shane and Ilya get stuck next to each other on a long-delayed flight to the MLH Awards, Shane realizes something else about him: Ilya Rozanov is hot.

    ***

    Shane and Ilya never hooked up at the CCM shoot. Seven years later, they end up on the same flight from New York City to Las Vegas.

    Summary

    Shane is traded to Boston during the hookup era, and his attempts to act normal and professional around Rozanov are a little too successful: fans start shipping him with Marleau, instead.

    Fucking sweet, fucking funny, perfectly paced, spot-on characterizations, VERY fun premise (in a partially angsty way), perfectly piquant with anxiety and Shane spirals while knowing Ilya is down horrendously the whole time. Love this Marley and this Svetlana. RE-READ for sure

    Summary

    "He saw the corners of Ilya's lips curve up ever so slightly in that infuriating, tiny hint of a smile. “Goodbye, Shane Hollander.”

    Shane could only ogle as Ilya walked away. Fuck. His ass was fat. This was so bad.

    Shane Hollander, star athlete, D1 hockey team captain, campus heartthrob, was being completely undone by a brooding Slavic art major that he would probably crawl on his fucking knees and bark for."

    --

    Shane is ready for another boring semester where he has to pretend like he cares about anything other than hockey. Until he sits down next to a mysterious Russian art student who also happens to be the hottest guy Shane has ever seen.

    Funny, HOT, lovely college AU. Kinda like if Shane was possessed by the spirit of Hudson maybe? And, yes, I'd say this Ilya has some sunshine Connie in him too. But not in any kind of rpf way. Just vibes.
