Concussion Protocol by cjr2
Fandoms: Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry (TV)
02 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
Instead of Shane, it is Ilya who suffers a concussion during the Boston-Montreal game in April 2017. Dazed and agitated, Ilya briefly starts speaking and responding only in Russian and the medics can’t calm him down. Luckily, Shane started studying Russian after Ilya spoke to him in Russian on the phone from Moscow. For no particular reason. Certainly not because he’s fallen in love with Ilya Rozanov.
In Montreal with lingering concussion symptoms, Ilya is advised not to fly home for a few days, and the hospital won’t release him without assurances that he has someone to stay with him until his symptoms improve. Luckily, Shane conveniently has a condo in Montreal no one knows about and a few days before he has to travel again.
But Ilya’s symptoms don’t resolve after a few days. Which is okay; Shane can handle it. He can take care of Ilya, study Russian, lead his team into the playoffs, and keep Ilya’s continued presence in Montreal a secret. He can do everything, no problem. He is Shane Hollander after all.

Summary
“Lily,” Hayden says automatically. “You know about Lily?”
Something flickers across Rozanov’s face. His jaw twitches. “Yes, I know about Lily.” He raises his eyebrows.
Hayden feels like a complete asshole, all of a sudden. There’s just been too much going on to even think about Shane’s mystery girlfriend. “Shit, I should probably, like, call her, or something? I don’t know this girl at all, but Shane’s been obsessed with her for years. If she was watching the game, she would have seen him get hurt.”
“You don’t need to call her,” Rozanov says, and when Hayden glances at him, he still looks fucking miserable but now he’s rolling his eyes, a much more familiar expression of disdain on his face. “She’s sitting right here.”
--
Hayden Pike and Ilya Rozanov are waiting for Shane to wake up after he took a bad hit on the ice. They get to talking.Chapter 2: Ilya and Shane talk about what it means, now that someone knows their secret.
Chapter 3: Shane and Hayden hash out the big reveal.

Summary
“So,” Ilya says, dragging the word out. He’s swiping at non-existent crumbs on the counter, avoiding his eyes. “You have dinner at parents on Christmas, yes?”
“Yeah.”
Ilya nods. “I can house-sit while you are away. Make place pretty, if you have decorations. Make it less boring.”
Shane’s eyebrows fly up. “What? You don’t want to come with?”
Finally, Ilya looks up at him. Hesitantly, he asks, “You want me to come with?”
Frowning, Shane says, “I– yeah. Yeah, of course. You think I invited you here just so you could spend Christmas alone?”
Looking away, Ilya shrugs. “I am intruder here, Hollander. You have family. I do not. Makes situation… difficult, maybe. You forget the world thinks we are rivals.”
“Not difficult,” Shane says immediately. “You want to come, you’re coming.”
Or: Ilya's in Montreal alone during the week leading up to the Winter Classic. Shane doesn't let him spend Christmas alone.

Summary
Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.
And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.
Just once. Just a single nod.
Why did he have to nod?
“Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”
“Of course.”
Of course.
“Was it better?”
“Yes.”
+++
Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

Summary
“My apartment,” he says, keeping his tone deliberately even. Casual. “I mean… it’s close by, right? You could stay there instead of dealing with the hotel nonsense.”
The words hang in the air between them, fragile and irrevocable. Rozanov goes very still.
Shane feels a flash of panic—wonders if he’s misjudged, if he’s pushed too hard and too fast. He rushes to fill the silence, almost tripping over the words, trying to frame it the way he rehearsed in his head.
“It’s more practical, right?” He adds. “Less media. No teammates. You’d have your own space. And it’s only until flights start up again. You can leave first thing when they resume.”
--- After Rose, after Florida, but having barely reconciled since, Shane and Ilya are stuck in Montreal during a snow storm. Shane offers for Ilya to stay in his apartment, and offers up the rest of his heart with it. Or, an alternate take on what happens after Episode 4.

“Please fire me,” Merlin laughs. “I dare you to sack me for longer than two days.”
“You don’t think I can make it two days without you?” The idea is absurd. As if he needs Merlin of all people.
“You haven’t yet.”

Summary
“Hey there, Jamie,” Ted says with more than his usual enthusiasm. “It’s awful nice to see you. How’ve you been?”
“Oh,” Jamie says, smug like he’s been for days now, “I’m doing great, thanks for asking.”
He surreptitiously separates his hand from Roy’s, bringing it up to his face to show off the ring.
Roy watches Nate lean too far forward in his seat on the shelf and jerk back, overcorrecting, watches Beards eyes widen like saucers and his mouth drop open. Roy was right. Fucking with them is so much fun when it’s not paired with deep emotional turmoil.
Trent’s face hasn’t fully settled back into a passive expression, but his voice is casual when he asks, “new ring, Jamie?”Or, Roy and Jamie finally communicated with each other; now they have to tell everyone else. (And Jamie has decided they’re engaged.)
This is very much a sequel/epilogue and I imagine it won’t make much sense without reading thumbs because it is a bit self-referential and very indulgent, but it’s also just a silly coming out fic, so maybe it could be? Proceed at will (and if it doesn’t make sense, feel free to read thumbs or to abandon ship.)

What if Roy quit before he could be fired? What if his pain was taken seriously? What if he was deviously manipulated into coaching? What if he had spent his whole career denying himself his sexuality? What if Jamie kept being a fucking problem? What if everything happened just a little bit differently?

Summary
It wasn’t supposed to go this way.
He doesn’t realise he’s said it out loud until Roy says, too loud: “What wasn’t supposed to go this way?”
Jamie just stares at him, mouth opening and closing, and this is - there’s so much he could say. So much he could tell the great Roy Kent about the way things were supposed to be - the way they should have been friends, the things he wanted when he was a kid—
Roy’s mouth - Roy’s mouth is so close to his.
“Nothing,” he says, voice suddenly flat - and turns, and runs away.

A series of moments which are almost something else.

Summary
Roy Kent's career is, frankly, going down the tubes. He's on a Championship side, he's benched, and whenever he does play, he's shit. Thankfully, his ex-girlfriend, Keeley, is a PR wizard and has an idea to get Roy enough media attention that fans demand Roy gets minutes: a fake relationship with someone famous and beautiful, i.e. recent Lust Conquers All-reject Jamie Tartt. The only problem is that, all too soon, Roy's trapped in a fake relationship with perhaps the only person he's ever truly wanted something real with.

So here’s the deal, Roy’s stupid heart -which only grows five times its size when Richmond wins, or (to a marginally lesser degree) when he’s with Keeley and Phoebe- has begun to grow four times its size whenever he’s with Jamie. Or when he thinks of Jamie. Or when Jamie does that little smirk that quirks his lips in just the right way-
Fuck.

Roy is in love with Jamie, he can't believe it but he is. There's just one thing keeping him from finally letting himself be happy, and it involves a pineapple of all things.

The thing with Keeley was that, in every conceivable aspect, she was better than Roy. He didn’t have to worry about that this time. Everybody knew Jamie Tartt was a massive prick with an ego the size of, well, his prick. And Roy was, well, Roy. And he and Jamie deserved each other.

Summary
His beard and hair are both longer, airing just on the right side of scruffy, but besides that Roy looks exactly like he did when Jamie saw him last.
(Limping off the pitch for the last time, covered in mud and looking both jubilant and as if something heavy was settling over his shoulders like a shroud.)
Or: Jamie was never loaned to Richmond. When he took Roy out of the game, the man disappeared and secretly opened a bookshop. And also coached West London U9 girls.
Jamie is looking for a book.
