    Summary

    Then like an anomaly in one of his datasets, a green OPEN tag appears next to one of the restaurants. Shane squints his eyes, having difficulty seeing properly without his glasses.

    Irina's Kitchen
    4.02 stars
    3 reviews

    Shane doesn't bother reading them. He taps on the website and waits for it to load. Only to be met with error.

    Sighing he exits the page and keeps on scrolling. Nothing that is open catches his interest and the rest are closed. He's wondering how stale celery would taste dipped in pickle juice when his eyes land on Irina's Kitchen once more.

    There's a phone number under the address. Shane bites his lower lip and wonders if he should call.

    A woman with an accented voice picks up after the 5th ring.

    “Hello?”

    “Uh, hey, are you guys still open?”

    Summary

    Ilya is not going to steal Shane Hollander's dog. That would be illegal. And wrong. And someone would probably find out and make Ilya give him back.

    So. Not stealing.

    But there is nothing wrong with giving Chernysh all the pats and treats that he deserves, is there?

    Nothing wrong with encouraging Chernysh to spend more and more time at Ilya's house until he doesn't even remember who Hollander is.

    Because Hollander is stupid and boring and does not deserve a dog as good as Chernysh. No, he doesn't, does he? Because Chernysh is the best boy in the whole world, yes he is.

    Summary

    "I don't just want someone who likes my face, they need to like all of me."

    "To fuck you? No, they do not. And neither do you." And that's when the idea hit him.

    He needed guidance, he needed an expert and he was living with "Russia's Greatest Love Machine" , which some of the team called him, affectionately. Not enlisting him in this endeavor would be living with a NASA scientist while trying to build a backyard rocket. Rozanov was a NASA scientist of sex and Shane was planning to have sex for the first time, it felt like the universe was handing him a win after such a terrible night.

    "You know a lot about this stuff."

    "Hollander, are you calling me a whore?" He laughed.

     

    ***

    Or: Shane is finally ready to lose his virginity but realizes he needs some help navigating the complexities of neurotypical dating. Ilya just happens to be hanging around, all the time, no reason at all, and is enlisted to help.

    Summary

    rpfactorfiction

    Oh my god, I didn't know there were any copies of this left on the internet. For those who don't know, this is like. This is a foundational text of hockey RPF. This is from before hockey RPF was really a thing even. It's from the mid-aughts and wasn't posted to a fanfiction website. Instead, OP dropped this insane RPF manifesto onto a normal ass hockey fan forum (which no longer exists) then deleted their account like two days later. Just handed this to a bunch of jocks and hockey bros and dipped. Legendary shit. Like, I don't think this kid even knew what fanfiction was, the fucking hand of god just compelled him to write about being an MLH player's sex slave and show it to the world. I pray every day that this insane child actually made it to the MLH and got to meet Scott Hunter.


    So maybe Shane had a little crush on Scott Hunter in his younger years. So maybe he anonymously posted online about it once. So maybe it had become an internet legend and a running joke in the MLH.

    Summary

     

    When Shane stops answering his phone, Ilya drives to Montreal expecting irritation, maybe a fight, maybe another one of Shane’s ridiculous explanations

    Instead, he finds Shane dead in their bed.

    After the funeral, Ilya tries desperately to survive the grief, leaning on teammates, family, and the life they built together. Then Shane starts appearing in places he shouldn’t be, asking Ilya to do small, ordinary things that slowly begin erasing their shared history from existence.

    Ottawa disappears first.

    Then the cottage.

    Then the MLH.

    Then Shane himself.

    And somewhere beneath the unraveling nightmare waiting for him is the life Ilya Rozanov was supposed to have if he had never met Shane Hollander at all.
