    Summary

    In 2008, anyone who was vaguely aware of professional hockey made sure to keep an eye on the results of the IIHF World Junior Championships. It was slated to be the first competitive meeting between Canada's Shane Hollander and Russia's Ilya Rozanov, who were already making headlines since they were expected to soon become the highest overall omega draft picks in NHL history.

    or: the omega/omega hollanov au literally no one asked for

    Summary

    It doesn’t matter what Shane looks like because he’s got a jersey and pads and a helmet on. It doesn’t matter what languages he speaks because he’s got a mouthguard clamped between his teeth and too many plays to chew on to even think about talking. It doesn’t matter who his parents are or where people think he should be from because he’s here to play hockey and he’s here to win.

    Shane Hollander is very good at hockey.

    He’s even better at winning.

    --

    Everything is harder when you don't know where you fit in. Shane Hollander can attest to that.

    Summary

    “You didn’t like it the last time we tried it,” Shane said.

    Ilya gave a one-shouldered shrug. “Was years ago. Maybe it is an acquired taste, like licorice.”

    “You also don’t like licorice,” Shane pointed out.

    “Yes, but I keep trying it because Luca likes it so much.”

    “And then you make a face and tell him how awful it is.”

    “When have I ever told you your dick is awful?” Ilya said, looking mildly offended. “I am its number one fan.”
