    Summary

    TL;DR: It's like Friends meets Almost Famous with HR incidents and better oatmeal continuity.

    Shane Hollander is a freelance concert photographer with a day job at a camera shop, a bank account in active distress, and a long-standing professional fixation on Ilya Rozanov, front man of the Russian rock band Rozanov. Professional. Definitely professional.

    For years, Shane has shot Ilya from the pit: first three songs, no flash, get the shot, get out. Then Rozanov’s lead guitarist gets arrested at the border, the tour starts rearranging itself around disaster, and Shane finds himself getting closer to the machine than any photographer is supposed to get.

    A photo pass becomes a backstage pass. A backstage pass becomes a job. Access becomes proximity.

    And proximity, unfortunately, has consequences.

    Summary

    It started with a leak that was meant to destroy them. When two years of toxic, homophobic group chats from the Montreal Voyageurs hit the internet, the MLH responded with the one thing Shane and Ilya couldn't stomach: silence.

    While Commissioner Roger Crowell plays politics and the media circus reaches a fever pitch, the Co-Captains decide they are done playing by the "Gold Standard" rules. With the help of Harris and Sarah, and a pair of ruthless burner accounts, Shane and Ilya wage a digital guerrilla war that rattles the league to its core.

    But when the Voyageurs retaliate by targeting their private life and their home, the "Steady Anchor" finally snaps. Shane Hollander is tired of being professional. He’s tired of being a "marketing stunt." And he’s about to show the world that while Ilya might be the menace, a protective Shane is the most dangerous mastermind in hockey.

    From the hostile ice of the Bell Centre to a high-stakes showdown in a Manhattan boardroom, the Co-Captains aren't just playing for a win anymore—they're playing for the soul of the game.

    The "Standard" is dead. Long live the Co-Captains.

    Summary

    Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.

    So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.

    Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

    Summary

    In room 1410, Ilya Rozanov is ready to walk out the door after successfully getting his 19 year old hockey rival into bed. He knew how to make this moment happen and he knows what they have to be to each other now that it's over. But as he turns the doorknob to leave, he's stopped with questions he never expected. And giving Shane Hollander what he needs in that moment will change everything.

    I note which chapters are SFW vs NFSW, because many of you said knowing meant the difference between reading this on your lunch break or having to wait. (Thank you for wanting to read my work that much.)

    Covers the first two years of their rookie seasons (which is mostly skipped over in the show/books). Canon divergent from the first hookup seen in HR s01ep01. Most things are from the show but the timeline is a mix of both; Hunter and Marleau are aged up per the show instead of as young as they are in the books. (Also, Shane and Ilya don't wait *two years*, they stick to the book timeline. IYKYK.)

    Please note this will the first in a series; you can subscribe to the whole series as well so you don't miss anything :)
