    Summary

    “Marley.” Ilya says evenly, suddenly knowing he can actually breathe. He had a plan and he knew what he needed to do. And he couldn’t do it from the locker room bench. “If he is very injured, if he cannot play again, if he is very bad, I will kill you. I will kill you painfully.”
    Cliff gapes at him.

    In which the hit that Cliff Marleau had on Shane Hollander goes a little different. For one, they’re in Boston. For another, Ilya realizes he might be panicking? Which is probably not something to do in the middle of a game. And, oh yeah, he just outed both himself and his not-boyfriend to an entire locker room of hockey players.

    But that’s okay, because while Boston may be vicious, they do take care of their own. And they quickly realize that their captain’s happiness and willingness to stay with the Bears is tied to Shane Hollander. The solution is easy, they’ll just have to make Shane Hollander a Bear.

    Summary

    Mid-ish-2014; Sochi was a disaster, but Boston had won the cup, so it wasn’t all bad. Ilya was basically a shoe in for MVP award in Las Vegas next week. What was all bad, was him agreeing to go on some show called ‘Hell’s Kitchen’. At the time, it’d sounded cool, and it was in Vegas anyway, so it wasn’t like he would have to travel much. He, along with one other surprise guest judge, would choose menu items to be served to their teams as a challenge for the competing chefs. A classic remix of the 2010 winter-Olympians judgements.

    This was part of the ‘not all bad’.

    The problem was the other team.

    Hollander just had to say yes too, didn’t he?

    POV OUTSIDER

    Or, Hollanov meet early. Things change.

    Told in a POV outsider episode view, with cuts to Shane/Ilya POV. Probably will do a double (another fic where its just ilya/shane pov for the whole fic) depends.

    NOT AN AU, just canon divergence.

    You do NOT need to watch hell’s kitchen to understand this, but if you want you can.

    For me - bc I deserve a treat <3

    Summary

    “They are so pretty. Pretty freckles on pretty boy and I want….”

    Shane can’t breathe. Holy fuck he can’t breathe, every fucking fantasy he’s had since he was seventeen is right in front of him and he doesn’t know what to do.

    “What…” licks his lips and watches as Rozanov leans forward, like he can’t help but try to be closer, “What do you want?”

    A smile, slow and wicked, sharp canines that Shane wants at his throat.

    “I told you, to be boyfriend.”

    Or: In a world where there was no CCM hookup and they're just rivals, Shane has come out as gay, and Ilya isn't going to let that opportunity pass him by.

    Summary

    Farah, Shane, and his mom have a statement drafted by the end of the first period of the Boston v. Toronto game. By the time the Raiders are done showering and are pulled for post-game press, everyone with even a passing interest in professional hockey knows that Shane Hollander is an Unrestricted Free Agent looking for a new team.

    Shane watched live as Ilya blinked stupidly, took a few seconds to process, and then quickly answered into the mic. This interview would gain millions of views over the coming months and would be cited as the source of the most chaotic social media rollercoaster the MLH ever had.

    No one knew it then, but the Great MLH Seduction had officially begun.

    *****

    Or: Ilya stays with the Boston Raiders instead of trading to Ottawa. This causes quite a few ripples when Shane finally ends his contract with Montreal.

    Featuring: the Hollander Family's Spreadsheets(TM), professional hockey culture shifts, and a tasteful amount of fraud against the MLH.
