  1. It's Fall of 2014 and Ilya Rozanov has cut all ties with Russia. But there's no such thing as a clean break, and leaving isn't as simple as never going back.
    -
    Basically a very self-indulgent fic about how hard it would be for Ilya to actually move on from the pain of the past and to go no contact with his family in a timeline where Grigori is still alive. Also, Ilya deserves to be known and loved by more people than just Shane and Sveta. Forced/Found Family here we come.
    *Sequel to my canon-divergence fic "To only ever know the cold" (go read that first or this won't make sense!)

  2. The morning after Shane wins his third MLH Cup Finals, the newspapers should read, "Montreal Wins MLH Championship," or "Voyageurs Win Three Cups in Four Years," or even "Shane Fucking Hollander Does It Again." Instead, after a long night of partying that Shane really, honestly, doesn't remember very much, the headlines read something different.

    When Shane wakes up to the headline "Shane Hollander Outs Fellow MLH Captain?" he almost pukes. He's ruined everything and put Ilya at risk of persecution by Russia ... except, has he? Because apparently all he said was that there was another queer MLH captain, not who it was.

    As the social media witch hunt begins and things spiral out of control, the general public knows one thing to be true: there's no way Ilya Rozanov is involved.

  3. “Mr Hollander, you and Ilya Rozanov have been photographed coming out of multiple hotels late at night. Can you explain that?”

    Shane panics. He can’t give the real answer, that they meet up every few months because he’s an undead monster and Rozanov happens to have delicious blood.

    “Um. We were… well. Gay sex! We were having gay sex!”

    Or: Shane Hollander isn’t in denial about being gay. He is in denial about being a vampire.

    Carter almost immediately loses him, watching him speed off across the casino floor. And hey, why is Rozanov hot on Hollzy's tails?

  8. Exhausted and annoyed with his teammates' nagging, Shane Hollander makes the stupidest, most childish decision of his adult life. He makes up a fake girlfriend.
    Her name is Lily (after his neighbour's cat); she is from Boston (so no one asks too many questions). To make the lie somehow believable, he saves and texts a random number, accidentally starting a conversation that might just change his life.

  11. “What were you doing in between one and four?”

    Ilya clenches his jaw. He says nothing. Clearly, she smells blood.

    “Mister Rozanov,” she leans forward, grabbing the desk as she enunciates, “what were you doing between one and four in the morning?”

    Fucking Shane Hollander for the last time, it seems.

    Why does the police of this shitty small town care?

    Or

    After an exhibition game in a small town, the Montreal Metros and the Boston Raiders find themselves trapped in a hotel by a dangerous snow storm. Perfect for two hockey players sneaking around to hook up, right? But when a violent crime is committed in the hotel, everyone in both teams becomes a suspect. And there is nowhere to go.

  13. “Sin Bin? Really?”
    Ilya grinned at the expression on Shane’s face. “You like?”
    “This is about fucking someone in the penalty box,” Shane told him.
    “Not someone, Shane. It’s about fucking you in the penalty box. Until you stop making your angry kitten face.”
    At least the song didn’t use the phrase ‘angry kitten’. Shane was grateful for that at least. “You use real hockey terms!”
    “Sin bin is slang, could mean anything,” Ilya said, still grinning.
    Shane looked down at the sheet of lyrics in his hand. “Sin bin, soft hands, checking, five minute major, rink, skating… this is a hockey themed porn song!”
    .....

    Shane Hollander is living two lives. In one life, he's leading a team that no longer likes or trusts him after his coming out. In the other life, he's experiencing love for the first time (in a secret relationship) with rock and roll star Ilya Rozanov.

    Those worlds are harder to separate when Ilya's song about Shane becomes an NHL meme.

  14. Starting before then running concurrently with the events of Mr. Answer Man, this is Scott's perspective on the first three years of Shane and Ilya's growing relationship. You do not need to have read Mr. Answer Man to understand this (I hope!) but I recommend it.

    Scott Hunter is 25 years old, Captain of the New York Admirals, and privately, achingly, gay. He meets Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov at the 2009 MLH draft day, and everyone involved immediately gets several wrong ideas. For the next three years, Scott has to navigate his place as a closeted gay man in the spotlight of major league hockey, while trying to protect an oblivious baby queer from an obviously straight Russian menace who can't seem to stay away.

  15. Shane texts, “Hi! Are you free tonight? I know it’s soon but we’re leaving town tomorrow for a few days, and I’d love to see you.”

    Ilya would have made fun of him for that message. Ilya would have just gotten a “come over.” Ilya would have responded “where is romance, Hollander?” and Shane would say, “I’m fucking starting without you.” And Ilya would be at his door in 20 minutes.

    Shane doesn’t think that would work on Sveta.

    Or: What if Svetlana were Rose Landry?

  16. The right thing to do with an unjust war is to lose it. The right thing to do in a battle is to win it. Ilya Rozanov has won every battle and lost the war, which ought, by some reckoning, to leave him twice in the right.

    He is sent across the sea as the hostage instead, handed over to the very kingdom he spent eighteen months burning in his father’s name. If the heavens keep accounts, they keep them badly.

  17. Shane is tempted to blame Hayden. Hayden had mentioned Boston Lily, poking and prodding Shane for details. Shane had done his best impression of an oyster. To keep his mouth shut and deny that secret hope that the grain of sand stuck on the roof of his oyster-mouth that is his and Rozanov’s situationship might turn into a pearl. A relationship. Fuck.

    Shane, tired of Hayden’s questions, agreed to head out to the bar with the team. Mistake two. As it turned out, Hayden hadn’t given up. He’d waited until Shane’s anxiety about fitting in found him nursing a beer. It went to his head like bubbles in a fresh popped bottle of champagne. A bottle of champagne that Shane shook too hard, annoyed by the endless questions, and, well, the cork blew. However, instead of a cork, “I’m gay” shot out of Shane’s mouth. It changed everything as much as he feared it would.

    or: Shane gets traded Boston by way of Florida.

  18. Shane Hollander wasn’t autistic was he? Sure he was different than other people but he was still normal right? It seemed that he was the only person who thought so. Maybe this is something he should think about more. Or Hayden (and others) says something that makes Shane rethink how ‘normal’ he really is.

  19. Shane Hollander has spent his whole career being told he and Ilya Rozanov hate each other. He's inclined to agree, right up until a hit in his rookie season puts him in a hospital bed and eleven years of a life he never had unspool behind his eyes: secret hotel rooms, a wedding, kids, a fight that nearly ended them, a crash that brought them back. He wakes up to a body that aches for a husband who was never real, and a rival standing at the end of his bed who has no idea what he means to him.
    Or: Shane wakes up from a coma grieving a marriage that never happened, and decides the only way through it is to go build the real thing from scratch.

  20. AU — The Centaurs’ plane crashes. No deaths are reported, and that should be a relief.

    Ilya survives. He just isn’t waking up.

    As Shane waits, the world continues on, and he’s forced to confront just how fragile their life truly is.
