    Summary

    Wyatt was not, like, nosy. For sure, he was interested. He was curious. He engaged with people, obviously, because most people were interesting and engaging and had cool thoughts and said neat stuff if you asked.

    So, no. Wyatt wasn’t nosy, but he wasn’t stupid, either.

    Summary

    Ilya sits down carefully and takes Shane’s hand. “I am going to ask you something, and I want you to try not to freak out, okay? Take a breath, think about it.”
    That sounds… serious.
    “The Centaurs are having a barbeque,” Ilya says. “I would like to go, and I would like you to come with me.”

    Shane meets the Centaurs. As Ilya's close personal friend slash charity partner from Canada.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander accidentally comes out to his hockey team after years of hiding his sexuality behind carefully crafted personas and unfinished coming out speeches.

    Summary

    Yuna's hand meets Ilya’s. The rivalry status that the league had painted over her son's relationship with the Russian now cast aside. They clutch to each other in silent acknowledgement of their shared pain, hope and fear in what had just manifested before their eyes. There's a uniting force in pain and grief—It's one that wipes slates clean, makes you forgive, makes you love harder and appreciate more than you ever thought possible. Everything she ever knew or felt about the Russian whose hand she now clung to was dissolved

    Shane Hollander briefly dies on the ice after the hit from Marlow in the Montreal vs Boston Game. Ilya handles his emotions poorly and has a very public meltdown revealing their relationship to the world.

    Summary

    “Can’t hang out tonight, Hayd. I have plans.”

    “Bullshit,” Hayden responds. “You never have plans.”

    Objectively, this used to be true. Nowadays Shane has many, many plans, between his nightly plans to look at Ilya’s penis through Skype and his various long-term plans laid out helpfully in his notebook, Canva (For Ilya’s sake. He is a visual learner), and more recently, Excel. Shane loves that excel sheet. He’s colour coded it.

     

    In 2017, Shane Hollander spirals and proposes to his boyfriend of 4 days (or 7 years, or 9 years, or not his boyfriend at all, depending on how you look at it), which leads to a lot of plans, weird theories in the Montreal Voyageur locker room, some Twitter drama, and Ilya Rozanov entering his WAG era.

    Summary

    Ilya doesn’t even realize when Arthur slips from his thoughts. There’s no sharp turn, no clear moment where the article stops being about a little boy who loves reptiles and starts being about the man lying beside him in bed. It just… happens. The way his mind always seems to find Shane eventually, like water finding its lowest point.

    Summary

    *Complete Series*

    After a high-profile and contentious departure from the Montreal Voyageurs, Hayden Pike finds himself at the center of a media firestorm fueled by his former team’s bitter front office. As the Voyageurs attempt to weaponize "lifestyle" narratives and disparaging labels against him, Hayden’s new support system in Ottawa, led by the formidable Yuna and David Hollander, alongside his wife Jackie, steps in to redefine the game.

    The "Hollander Method" takes center stage as Yuna and Jackie launch a masterclass in corporate warfare, forcing a public apology from Montreal and migrating the league’s top sponsors to Ottawa. While Hayden, Shane, and Ilya sharpen their on-ice chemistry, the battle for reputation is won in the boardroom. The journey culminates in the warmth of the Hollander home, where the team gathers for a family dinner, proving that the Pike family is no longer a target, but the new gold standard of the league.

    Summary

    The Ottawa Centaurs are no longer just a hockey team; they are a lifestyle. Following a high-stakes shift in the franchise's direction, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov find themselves at the heart of a cultural revolution led by the most formidable force in the league: Shane’s mother, Yuna Hollander.

    The "Hollander Method" has officially moved from a suggestion to the law of the land, trading traditional grit for a unified front of high-fashion elite and K-Beauty glow. From mandatory skincare regimens to bespoke gala appearances at the Chateau Laurier, the boys are learning that excellence is a daily ritual. But when the League tries to sideline them as a "niche" attraction during the Indianapolis All-Star weekend, Yuna proves that you don't play by the rules when you're the one writing them.

    Between team dinners of legendary chicken parm and a power play that shakes the NHL to its core, Shane and Ilya must navigate their roles as the faces of a dynasty. The world is watching, the team is glowing, and Yuna has just stepped into a powerful new role that is about to change the face of professional hockey forever.

    Yes, as requested My (Yuna's) Chicken Parm recipe is in here 😉

    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

    It's 2018
    Scott Hunter hasn't come out yet
    Ilya and Shane are good friends in public after All Stars 2017
    Ilya is still in Boston
    Ilya and Shane are engaged; they've been together for a year and engaged for a year.
    Ilya locked that man down after the Rose debacle of 2015 - He joked that they should get married, and Shane had said yes, they had been dating an hour at that point.
    They are both tired of hiding. One night at dinner with Jackie and Hayden, Hayden makes a joke. Only that joke is the best idea Shane has heard.
    What if they came out via KissCam? What if they just made out at centre ice?

    Summary

    Shane's eyes squeeze closed again. “We had reason to put rules in place. Protocol. If ever—if it got to a place where, if he was ever feeling like he might—"

    Hayden’s body understands before his mind catches up. His blood runs cold for a second, stuck on the scrunch of Shane’s face, the clench of his fist, how desperate he’d been to see Rozanov—Ilya—just now. To make sure that he was okay. Here, in person.

    Not hurt. Alive.

    “Oh,” Hayden hears himself say distantly. “Oh, fuck, Shane.”

    --

    or, Ilya needs a place to go, and Hayden's happens to be the closest. It turns out to be a good thing.

    Summary

    “Teammates,” Taylor echoed, his gaze drifting. Slowly, deliberately, to the ring on Ilya’s left hand. He did not look away immediately. He let the silence stretch until it became noticeable.

    Shane felt the first flicker of unease then—not jealousy, not yet, but something colder. A sense of being assessed.

    “Did Boston Lily send you all these flowers? Shane??” Hayden asks.

    “Um,” Shane says helpfully.

    ——

    Or, Shane gets hurt in the Boston vs. Montreal game. Ilya crashes out and buys all the lilies in Boston for him.

    No one knows about them.

    Except for Ilya’s new florist, who never asked to get involved in dumb hockey boys and their messy drama. Also, Cliff is a good friend.

    Summary

    Hayden watches Shane, almost expecting him to go, "wow, I was hacked while we were at practice, look at these weird messages!". But no such luck. Shane smiles.

    A real smile, a big one, his text from Lily smile. God, Hayden was so sure they were sending each other endless strings of heart emojis and "I miss you more" "no, I miss you more"s, not…that. Never in a million years would he have guessed that.

    Summary

    "WouldyoustilllovemeifIwasaloon?" Shane blurted.  

    At that, Ilya clicked his phone shut, dropped it on his chest, and gazed straight into Shane's eyes. "What?" Ilya asked. 

    "You heard me. Would you still love me if I was a loon?" Shane could feel his cheeks turning hot. 

    "Why would you be loon?" Ilya's brows furrowed in obvious confusion. "How would you turn into loon?"
