I’ll Believe in Anything (Except That) by Vardic

Summary
In another timeline, Shane and Ilya hook up in Room 1410, Ilya slips out unnoticed, and they spend the next seven years trapped in the situationship from hell we all know and love.
In this one, Yuna Hollander walks in just as Ilya goes to leave and—through the combined power of misunderstanding, miscommunication, and a frankly alarming lack of follow-up—Shane and Ilya start dating in 2010.
Given the chance to grow up with rather than against each other, Shane and Ilya build a life thats steadier, safer, and far less frightening than their canon. Their rivalry fizzles before it ever has the chance to fully ignite, replaced by hockey’s most beloved “bromance", and in 2015, they find the courage to do the one thing their canon counterparts never got to do: tell the NHL and the world.
There is just one problem: No one believes them.
OR: 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 indignation.

“Just got the word from the officials, Metros are shutting Miitka down for the night," LeClaire says almost dispassionately. “Third period we’re up against,” LeClaire consults his clipboard, “Shane Hollander. Drafted 2009, current starter for the Laval Maples, posts a .905 save percentage.”
Ilya stays where he is, rolling the name around in his head once, without much interest.
Hollander.
Doesn’t ring a bell.
Inspired by that one twitter post, what if Shane was a goalie?

SHANE: Lily.
LILY: Hello
SHANE: Dead to me.
What the actual fuck?
LILY: ??
SHANE: what. The. Hell. Did. You. Do.
LILY: ahh
I am in trouble
Yes?
Or Ilya's teammates add "Jane" to the Boston WAG group chat in the height of their "no, we aren't falling in love, whatever do you mean" era (2014-2016-ish?). -

Summary
Shane is in a post-game interview when his world stops.
He’s just answered a question about Montreal’s offensive strategy going into the game. Clean passes, avoid penalties, draw defenders wide. It had worked and the Voyagers had beat Colorado soundly, 4-1. Shane had scored two of the goals and assisted on a third.
Usually, Shane would be eager to boast about the win to Ilya. But ever since their fight- since Ilya told Shane to leave- winning feels hollow. Losing feels better, somehow. As if Shane deserves to lose after being so selfish. Ilya gave up everything for him- his home, his team, and to some extent- his happiness. Hockey. Ilya gave up hockey- good hockey- for Shane.
A ripple goes through the room of reporters. Shane swears he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘crash’. But no one is paying attention to him anymore.
“What’s going on?” he asks into the microphone, feeling strange at the role reversal. Usually, he’s the one being asked questions.
No one answers. And this time he knows that he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘Centaurs’.
------------------------------------------
Shane rushes to Ilya after the almost plane crash. Their secret is no longer a secret.

“What happened?” Ilya asked, stepping closer, brows pulling together.
Shane looked up, still processing, eyes wide in a way Ilya had never seen before.
“I’ve been traded,” he said, the words landing heavy between them. “It’s done.”
___________
OR: Shane loses his phone at the 2017 All-stars game in Tampa and months later explicit videos are leaked and Shane’s life is flipped upside down. He and Ilya must confront their feelings for each other and Shane decides that maybe he’d be happier on a different team ;)

Summary
For one brief second, Ilya thinks Hollander is going to stop, step out of the walkway, say something. Do anything.
Ilya's hand twitches at his side, absurdly, like it's waiting for a handshake that has not happened yet. Like it's preparing for the contact.
Instead, Hollander gives him the smallest half-nod, barely there, and walks into the arena.
OR: One bad World Juniors drops Ilya Rozanov to sixth overall in the draft and Shane Hollander goes first. Rozanov decides he’s going to spend his career proving the league wrong. What he doesn’t plan on is becoming fixated on Hollander in the process. Somewhere along the way, it stops being about the league’s attention and starts being about keeping Hollander’s.

Summary
Ilya hesitated, staring at the number. He was captain of Hollander’s new team. It would have been completely normal, if not expected, that he would reach out to him soon. But his hand had turned to lead, his finger hovering over the “Call” button. What would he even say?
“Hey Hollander. Sorry your team dumped you out of nowhere after building them a dynasty and you’re being shipped back to your hometown to play on an historically shitty team, captained by me, the guy who you’ve been pitted against your whole career and built up a decade’s worth of resentment towards, not to mention the fact that we sucked each other’s dicks that one time years ago and then pretended that it never happened. Haha, yeah, good times. Anyways. See you at practice.”
—————
In June 2010, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov hook up for the first and last time.
In July 2021, Shane Hollander is abruptly traded to the Ottawa Centaurs.

Summary
After months of being ghosted by Ilya, Shane gets horrible news about his health. At the age of 23 he gets diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He is supported by his friends and family and yet he cannot stop thinking of his rival. But he and Ilya have never been more disconnected, so he resigns himself to fighting this without Ilya in his life.
Ilya knows he was an asshole last Spring. Shane has been ignoring him all summer. But he figures that once he's back in North America and the season starts, he'll be able to get back in Shane's good graces. And then Montreal announces that they have placed Shane Hollander on Long Term Injured Reserve and he panics.

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**
