Summary
In another timeline, Shane and Ilya hook up in room 1410, nothing goes wrong, and everything plays out exactly as we know it.
In this one, Yuna Hollander walks in before Ilya can leave—and the seven-year situationship never gets the chance to start. Instead, through the power of miscommunication, Shane and Ilya start dating in 2010. With better support, they make better decisions. Their rivalry fizzles out before it ever has the chance to fully ignite, replaced instead by a beloved “bromance". In 2015, they come out to the NHL and the world.
No one believes them.
Or: Somehow, despite Shane and Ilya being out for two years, Scott Hunter is still considered the first openly gay player in the NHL, much to Ilya’s horror.

Summary
Ilya closes his eyes.
He blinks back his tears. He wants to nod or shake his head or something, but he can't.
This can't be happening.
He blinks and blinks and blinks again but he's still in the hospital and he still feels like shit and his mom is dead and Shane is far away and he thinks he's depressed and there is something inside of him that he doesn't know what to do with.
Fuck, he thinks, in russian and in english and in french, even. Fuck.Or, in 2020, Ilya has a (very) unplanned, (very) complicated pregnancy, Shane has to learn that sometimes things don't work out the way he planned, and some other things. Set in The Long Game, kind of.

Summary
After the tuna meltdown, they never really get the chance to get back together, only watching each other’s lives from a distance, occasionally reaching out through texts, pretending it’s enough.
Until one day, Shane receives a package at his doorstep.
It’s a book. It’s Ilya Rozanov’s memoir.Bookmarked by SteampunkCephalopod

Summary
Ilya Rozanov is the second born son of His Royal Highness King Gergori of the Russian Empire. His only role is to conquer the nearby kingdoms in his father's name, expanding their large and merciless empire.
Prince Shane Hollader knew this of course, but it could never have prepared him for news of the Russian troops headed for Montreal. He has a plan, but his brother Hayden isn't going to like it.
Unfortunately, Ilya isn't just here to claim the city.

Summary
It has been years since anyone has heard from Shane Hollander after he left the League during the Covid-19 pandemic. Ilya Rozanov lives day-to-day: eating, sleeping, playing hockey, and being haunted by his memories of the kind Canadian man he had slowly fallen in love with.
When travel restrictions finally lift, Ilya gets in his car and starts driving.
