    A Year In Montreal by

    Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid

    Summary

    Once the glow of the cottage fades and the boys have to head back to the real world, they have to start the long difficult year being separated before Ilya signs with Ottawa. Or at least that was the plan, until Ilya opened his mouth and accidentally got himself traded to Montreal. But it’s fine, just one year for Ilya in Montreal and then their 10 year plan is back on track… Right?

    Through their year on the same team, Ilya helps Shane come to terms with the fact that his team kinda sucks, Hayden gets chirped into oblivion but still realizes that maybe Ilya Rozanov isn’t nearly as bad of a guy as he thought, and Hollanov come to terms with a new question they didn’t expect to ask.

    Now that they’ve gotten a taste of living together and being on the same team, how are they ever going to give it up?

    Summary

    “I think we need a plan.”

    “I thought we have a plan?” Ilya asked, gruffly, his brow furrowing in confusion.

    “I just mean…” Shane’s face was serious; his eyes were doing that puppy-dog thing that Ilya couldn’t resist, where they looked earnest and soft and serious all at once. "What if we didn’t wait to come out? Rather than waiting until we retire. Maybe, I don’t know, stopped hiding quite so much and just… let people figure it out, eventually.”

    Changing the Narrative, or; Hollander and Rozanov's Guide to a Gentle Take-Off

    Shane and Ilya are done hiding. Coming out, however, is another story. Between family, friends, fans, teammates, and a league still grappling with inclusivity, changing the narrative might just prove more complicated than they expected.

    Hayden took a bite, chewed pensively, then asked, “So, where are you going?”

    Shane felt his lips twitch into a small smile. “New York.”

    Summary

    After the summer at the cottage, Shane goes back to Montreal tired, off, and nauseous in a way he refuses to think too hard about. They f*cked every day for weeks, after all, it's not impossible. Just highly, statistically unlikely.
    Until it isn't. And Ilya doesn't react at all the way Shane expected.
     

    I know you'll read this approximately one hundred thousand times a day, BUT English isn't my language at all, sooooooooo whenever I don't use proper grammar, please be my Shane and help me fix it. I'll appreciate

    Summary

    Shane’s sensible, all-wheel drive, good-in-the-snow car was sitting in the garage when Ilya pulled in.

    Ilya winced.

    There was a reason he’d said no when Shane offered to drive out tonight. It was the same reason Shane had agreed so quickly it was obvious he hadn’t really wanted to come. Since Boxing Day, they’d been stuck in a fight-apologize-make up-go quiet-fight again cycle that was as frustrating as it was heartbreaking. They’d been quiet for a week now, which meant they were just about due for a fight. Ilya wasn’t sure they could survive another fight.

    He winced again when he saw that Shane was still in his car, and had seen the first wince.

    They’d definitely fight now.

    “Sorry,” Shane said as they both exited their cars. “I know we said… I just needed to talk to you tonight and I didn’t want to do this on the phone.”

    Oh.

    Not a fight, then.

    A break up.

    No wonder Shane looked so sad.

    ...

    “Montreal asked me to waive my no trade. They want to send me to LA.”

    Or: There is no dramatic plane landing. There's just Shane and Ilya, choosing each other, even when that means choosing to be apart.
