    Summary

    “You have to learn to pace yourself, pressure. You're just like everybody else, pressure. You've only had to run so far, so good. But you will come to a place where you'll have to deal with pressure.”

    Shane Hollander retired at forty on his own terms—captain, champion, certain he understood what pressure meant. He didn’t, not like this.

    Now Max is sixteen, chasing perfection on the figure skating ice, every performance measured against a legacy he never asked for. Mei is fourteen, fierce and gifted, but the expectations wrapped around her name are beginning to feel like walls instead of support.

    The world doesn’t see two teenagers finding their way. It sees the children of legends.

    As competition intensifies and the spotlight grows harsher, the Hollanders must learn a different kind of strength: how to guide without controlling, how to support without overwhelming, and how to let their children define themselves beyond the name they share.

    Because pressure isn’t about living up to the past, it’s about deciding who you are despite it.

    Summary

    “This is the time to remember, ’cause it will not last forever. These are the days to hold onto, 'cause we won't, although we'll want to. This is the time, but time is gonna change. You've given me the best of you, and now I need the rest of you.”

    The season ends with a Stanley Cup, a retirement announcement, and a future that suddenly feels wide open.

    After seventeen years of hockey, Ilya Rozanov is learning how to slow down, something he’s never been particularly good at, while Shane Hollander discovers that balancing NHL captaincy with diapers, bottles, and a stubborn two-year-old might be the hardest job he’s ever had.

    Between international adoption paperwork, a chaotic but devoted hockey family, and the quiet moments that matter more than they ever expected, Shane and Ilya begin building a life that has nothing to do with the ice, and everything to do with the one they’ve made together.

    A story about leaving the game, finding home, and realizing that sometimes the most important victories happen long after the final buzzer.

    Summary

    Ilya and Shane have always played the long game.

    Stay quiet. Stay careful. Stay together, just not publicly. Not yet.

    In ten years, they’ll have everything they want.

    Then Ilya gets a call from Russia.

    Within days, their carefully planned future is replaced with something much more immediate: grief, guardianship, and a four-year-old girl who needs them now.

    Suddenly, “later” isn’t an option anymore.

    everything you’ve ever dreamed of disappearing when you wake up

    'Give them space, Rozanov!'

    Summary

    "I know." Ilya put his hand on the back of Shane's neck, squeezed once, and left it there. "Practice is not until ten. Relax."
    "I'm relaxed."
    "You are never relaxed. But I love you anyway."


    "What's that?" Shane pointed to a small rectangle Nik had drawn off the back of the house.
    "Papa's pool."
    "We don't have a pool."
    "I know. That's why I wrote 'not real.'"


    Shane and Ilya play for the Centaurs and raise twin boys in Ottawa. They built something extraordinary under impossible conditions. Extraordinary is the easy part. Ordinary is where things get missed.

    Summary

    Shane and Ilya's new life in Ottawa and the Centaurs is just beginning. They want to live in the comfort of their love and hard-earned peace, go to Pride, play hockey, and have a family. But some in the outside world disagree.
    Settling into a new routine, a new team and a new phase of their relationship is both thrilling and challenging, but they have learnt one thing after thirteen years:

    They can do anything together, and the Centaurs are not the team the hockey world remembers any more.
    They are Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov and nothing can break them apart.
    Not the comments, not the podcasts, not the league and definitely not Roger Crowell.

     

    Meanwhile a call from Russia changes everything and the peace they carved out for themselves spins their lives in unexpected directions.

     Set post-The Long Game

    Updated weekly.
    The whole story is mapped out and will be quite long.
    Music is such an important part of the show that I wanted to honour that. So every chapter is named after a song by a Canadian artist.

    Summary

    Ilya gets sick while on the road with the Centaurs, he had his own number listed as an emergency contact. Ilya insists he has no emergency contact. Coach Wiebe thinks it incredibly sad. Troy Barrett thinks it's simply not true.

    As Troy followed Coach Wiebe out of the emergency room, he glanced back at Ilya and paused. Fuck it, so what if he gets mad at me, he shouldn’t have to wake up all alone in a hospital bed when there is someone out there who would care. He quickly moved back towards the bed and leaned in close. “In New York, I was right, yes?”

    Summary

    Before Felix could remove his headphones, he heard it. Heavy, borderline panicked breaths. Felix realized that it must be Hollander. His mic was not turned off when he left the interview. Footsteps. And then a door opening and closing. They had filmed the interview that morning at the offices of the Irina Foundation. It sounded like maybe he had gone into his office.

    “Hey, what is it? What is wrong?” Another voice. Unmistakable anywhere. Even if Felix hadn’t spent weeks now listening to it, he would still have recognized Ilya Rozanov’s voice.

    What if the filmmaker making the documentary about Hollander and Rozanov discovered the truth about their relationship. So he approaches Shane and Ilya about filming them over the course of the 2020/2021 season to create an honest documentary that tells the true story of their lives. Canon-divergent AU set during The Long Game.

    Summary

    It’s easy not to notice cancer, as a hockey player. Ilya is constantly sore from hits on the ice, takes six Advil every few days to deal with the joint pain. And sure, he used to only need two and a shot of something strong, but he figures that comes with getting older and the stress of missing Hollander, thinking about the rest of their lives stretched out between Montreal and Boston, never quite close enough to dream about something shaped like a future. Ten years was long enough. So he calls his agent to look into a team with more wiggle room in their salary cap–somewhere he can fall asleep next to Hollander more than five times a year, ideally– and books his flight to Ottawa. Two weeks at the cottage will never be long enough with Shane, he thinks, closing his laptop and grimacing at the pain flaring down his spine. But he takes a hot shower, nearly falls asleep against the bathroom tile, and he doesn’t even really notice it.

    Ilya Rozanov gets cancer and learns what it means to live. Set right after the HR show with major canon divergence from TLG

    Summary

    “What do you want, Rozanov?”

    Once upon a time, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov had been something of fated rivals. And then. Rozanov's national team crashed and burned in the 2014 Olympics in his own country. Shortly thereafter, he requested a trade to a Canadian team without much explanation, and by the end of the season, he was playing for Ottawa. Years of buildup and progress thrown away. The rivalry lost its luster after that, with Rozanov hardly a competition.

    Now, Rozanov was looking at Shane as if they shared a private joke. “I have, ah, Marly, what's the word? Proposition? Proposal?”

    “Business offer,” groaned Marlow, drawing his eyebrows together.

    “That,” Rozanov smirked. “Let's sit down, Hollander. Hear me out.”

    --

    Or: Shane and Ilya never started hooking up. Several years into their career, some things are very different. At an All-Star game, the only out and proud player in the MLH approaches Shane with the suggestion to start a charity together. It's the beginning of something life changing.
