  1. Shortly before the playoffs start in what will be Ilya's last season in Boston, he makes a drunk confession to Cliff that he's in love with Jane...who is a man. Unbeknownst to him, it was captured in the background of a video his teammate posted to social media. Chaos ensues.

  2. Scott is lucky, apparently. Ilya suggested picking him up in a sports car—he’d get tossed in the trunk with the rest of the baggage. Shoved in the back of Shane’s practical British whatever the fuck, knees bumping Ilya’s seat, headrest not adjusted for his height, Scott’s having flashbacks to growth spurts in mom vans driven by church volunteers. 

    “How is our princess, hm?” Ilya ducks over to look at Scott in the rearview, and Scott already has a middle finger ready for him. 

    “It’s damsel, Ilya,” Shane corrects. 

    “Not helpful,” Scott interjects. 

    ...

    It's only a week. Scott can survive a week, can't he?

  3. The fight on Boxing Day had been explosive and painful. But they'd decided they would make a new plan. One they could both live with.

    But the more Shane tried to compromise, all the years of resentment and hiding crowded in at once. He spat an ultimatum across the table. Six months. A year at the absolute most. Or they were done.

    “That’s not enough time. A year is… tough, but maybe,” Shane offered carefully. “Eighteen months?”

    Ilya’s temper flared.

    “I do not want to wait another eighteen fucking months!” The words echoed through the room. “I want to be like Hunter! Go on dates with my boyfriend. Talk about him to people. Not always feel like some awful, shameful secret.”

    “You want to talk to people about me?” he asked quietly. His voice sounded so small and fragile and confused. But Ilya was still furious and raw.

    “Well I would,” he sneered, “if there was anything about you that was fucking interesting to talk about! It would be nice to not be so fucking bored and miserable!”

    As the words left his mouth, he knew he'd gone too far.

  5. NHL rookie Jamie Allens was forcefully outed to the hockey community after being arrested at a gay nightclub in Boston. After being dropped by the Raiders and recruited by the Centaurs, he now gets to see what life has to offer on the other side of the closet door.
    Meanwhile, Cliff Marlow is living his best WAG life.

  6. "It's not always gay to kiss your friends," Shane mutters, sniffing pointedly. "Some people do it all the time."

    The room stills, before everyone's attention swivels to Shane who freezes under their stares. He arches an unimpressed brow at them all, pointedly avoiding Ilya's gaze, before he goes back to placidly studying the board, the corner of his mouth twitching.

    "Who are you not gay kissing?" Ilya demands. "Rose doesn't count."

    "Obviously, Rose doesn't count," Shane says, rolling his eyes. "Wouldn't that be straight?"

    "Yes," Ilya says, impatiently. "And you are very gay, so who is it you are kissing that you have to specify it's not gay? Is is Pike? Boiziau?" He casts a wild glance around the room. "Please tell me it is not my precious Boody. He is handsome, yes, but it will break my heart if he did not kiss me to find out that he is a little gay."

  7. In another life, Irina Rozanova dies. In this one, she takes twelve year old Ilya and runs.

    They arrive in Calgary, Alberta, with two passports and no luggage. Years later, hockey still carries Ilya toward Shane Hollander, but this time, they don't meet as rivals and instead build something neither of them is ready for.

    But Ilya has learned never to trust warmth in the middle of winter.

    The cold always comes back.

  8. “So, uh, look, we should forget that happened in there, okay?” he says, glancing quickly up at Rozanov before remembering he absolutely cannot do that.

    “Is what you want?” Rozanov says, so goddamn nonchalant. For a second, Shane hates his guts.

    Shane fully intends to say ‘yes’. He needs to forget what happened, and even more so, he needs Rozanov to forget what happened. He can’t have Rozanov telling anyone that Shane Hollander got a hard-on in the locker room showers.

    He intends to say ‘yes’, but what he says instead is, “No.” He swears he opened his mouth and formed the word ‘yes’, but that’s definitely not what came out. He tries again, hoping it was just some Freudian slip, but what comes out is, again, “No.”


    Soulmates can't lie to each other. Somehow, this fixes absolutely nothing.

  9. Ilya knows with a certainty this is not a hit a player gets up from.

    So why, then? Do his eyes watch as Shane’s limbs twitch to life, a wretched gasp wracking through his chest is visible even from under the padded jersey. A conflicting mix of relief and dread bubble up in Ilya as an elbow braces on the ice and Shane’s neck shifts to lift his head. The arm he’s not favouring is held at an angle that suggests he’s hurt. He is facing away, Ilya desperately wishes he could see his face.
    -

    Shane gets hit badly on the ice and Ilya gets caught between his teeth in the aftermath. A feral hostage negotiation ensues (the league throws Ilya to the Shane wolf and he has to figure it out).

    This has continued into a chaptered fic! Follow along for cottage shenanigans as Ilya has to navigate his relationship with a feral Hollander. Also Yuna and David are there. He misses Shane a lot and is just trying not to fuck it up in the meantime. Worst of all, his time with the Hollander family seems to be unravelling his own understanding of wolves and how packs can function.

  10. A medical retirement took Shane Hollander off the ice, but photography gave him a way to stay close to the game. Now a prestigious editorial photographer, he’s the obvious choice when ESPN revives the Body Issue.

    And Ilya Rozanov, fresh off the best season of his career, is the obvious choice for the cover.

    They haven’t spoken in nearly seven years. And all the reasons why are suddenly coming back into focus.

  11. [The Ottawa Centaurs are scattered around their locker room after practice in various states of undress. The camera walks up to Coach Brandon Wiebe, a hand extending with a cup that holds multiple pieces of paper. Wiebe smiles at the camera and reaches in to pull out a slip, he looks at it, and then reads.]

    Wiebe: Shake the hand of the player that is the baby of the team.

    [Wiebe's smiles grows, his eyes traveling across the room as he begins to walk toward Luca Haas. He holds out his hand and Luca's already flushed face grows even more read as he reluctantly shakes his coach's hand back.]

    Luca: Seriously, Coach? Not you, too. I'm almost twenty two for fuck's sake.

    [Next to Luca, Zane Boodram grins and pats Luca on the back and Ilya Rozanov calls from nearby.]

    Ilya: You are not old enough to say fuck until you can explain what it means!

    Wiebe: You might be the baby of the family, but that doesn't mean you're not great at what you do. You score lots of goals and you remind Ilya that he's supposed to act like an adult at least occasionally.

    Shane: Trust me, that's a very important job.

  12. “You dropped out of college!” Svetlana repeated as she threw her hands up. “You had two semesters left in Boston! You were top of your program! You talked about moving to New York, opening your own firm, taking over the world—and now your big life ambition is sitting on a plush couch in the Canadian tundra waiting for Mr. Real Estate to finish his stock trades?”

    Ilya laid his fork down with a deliberate clink against the ceramic plate. He rested his elbows on the table, leaning forward, his blue eyes sharp and terrifyingly clear.

    “Sveta,” he began, his tone dropping into that familiar, authority. “In Boston, I woke up at six every morning to run in the freezing rain. I spent eight hours in lectures surrounded by rich idiots who thought they were geniuses because their dads bought a building. I spent four hours every night memorizing financial models I already knew how to build in my sleep, just so some eighty-year-old professor could give me a checkmark on a piece of paper. The point is, why would I fight the world when I can just enjoy the simple pleasures of life? I spent my whole life surviving. Shanya gave me a place where I don’t have to.”

  13. “It is nice to meet you, Shane Hollander.” Ilya nods his head at the crumpled paper in Shane’s hand. “What is that you have there?” “Oh.” Shane’s cheeks are a perpetual state of flushed red. “Before I came, I made a list of, um, things I am looking for in a car? Practical things, I guess. I didn’t want to forget.” Ilya’s lips quiver, and he resists the urge to let an incredibly fond smile overtake his face. This tall, muscular omega could not be more precious if he was made of teddy bears and heart stickers. “May I see it?” Ilya inquires, extending his hand again. With visible reluctance, Shane passes over the piece of notebook paper. Ilya glances up at Shane, arching an eyebrow. The omega smiles shyly at him, his warm brown eyes glimmering. “Am I completely out of my mind to try and find all of these things in one car?” he asks. “I never let a customer leave unhappy.” He winks at Shane, who lets out a small, startled laugh. It’s an utterly breathtaking sound, even as brief as it is. -ilya is a single, playboy alpha car salesman. shane is a pregnant, unmated omega, trying to start his life over. they meet, and starting over gets a bit more complicated-

  16. After dying in a plane crash in 2021, Ilya wakes up in a nondescript hotel room, identical to hundreds he has stayed in during his decade-long NHL career. Is he in Hell? Mama is not here. Neither is Shane.

    But then the phone rings; a representative from CCM wants to confirm Ilya will be on time to his photo shoot with Shane Hollander.

    On the way to the rink, Ilya, who learned from the very best, makes a multi-step plan:

    1. Texting
    2. No sleeping around
    3. Friends
    4. First names
    5. Boyfriends

    Ilya made Shane fall in love with him once. He can do it again.

    He has to.

  17. Ilya Rozanov is so excited about his new beautiful pup Anya! Except Ilya is blinded by his excitement. Anya is a bit weird looking, okay maybe she's kinda scary looking. Shane adjusts to life with a new dog and makes it his mission to protect Ilya from the truth about Anya.

    Excerpt:

    Unknown Number:

    Please you have to take her back, I can't sleep with her creepy humanlike eyes staring at me.

    [Close up image of a dog's face]

    She looks like one of the puppets from The Labyrinth. I had night terrors about that movie as a kid.

    Harris:

    Who is this? Why do you have Anya?

    Unknown Number:

    Seriously name your price, lie to Ilya and tell him you found her old family and take her away please🙏

    Harris:

    I don't know who you are but I'm calling Rozanov and maybe the police. This is creepy. Who are you???

    Unknown Number:

    This is Jane. Ilya's partner. Please. I'm desperate. I wouldn’t have reached out otherwise.

  18. "Did Scott tell you about the deal?" Rozanov asks.
    "Deal?" says Eric.
    "Does he not know?" Roznov asks, with some surprise.
    "Know what?" Eric asks, genuinely puzzled. For reasons he can't identify, his heart rate speeds up.
    "About you."
    Eric doesn't respond.
    Rozanov gives him another look. "Gospodi. Please tell me you know, at least."

  19. Ilya clenches his fists, jaw tensing and loosening around the words he wishes he could say. His brain is far too jumbled for basic English right now, let alone the words to explain just how much he needs to bury himself in the arms of the one person who understands. He can deal with the fallout tomorrow. He just needs…

    A soft place to land.

    LeClaire doubles down, shifting his stance to block Ilya’s path. “Your personal life is your own, Rozanov, but right now, your personal life is under a microscope. It’s not right, or fair, but think about that before you do something that lands you in even hotter water.”

    “You mean the team,” Ilya grits.

    “No.” His coach’s face softens. “No, that’s not important. I’ve known you for nearly a decade, Ilya. Take the bench for once. We’ll take care of you.”

    But who will take care of Shane?

    -

    OR: Ilya gets outed, Shane comes up with a solution to keep him safe, and neither of them are happy.

  20. -----
    A shoulder injury sees Ilya retire two years before his husband. Too much time on his hands means Ilya falls down the well-trodden path of too much childhood trauma leading to a lot of therapy leading to becoming a stand-up comedian.
    -----

    LAZY • 1 hour of comedy by Ilya ROZANOV

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - ‘Highly entertaining.’

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - ‘Very funny, surprisingly insightful.’

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - ‘Queer, loud and very, very funny.’

    ⭐️ - ‘Technically competent show but extremely arrogant and somewhat debauched.’

    -----
    That leads to both another round of laughter and a cheer. On stage, Ilya grins.

    “Yes, but I knew even then that staying in Russia was maybe a very bad idea. Because queer and Russian is recipe for very traditional Russian tragedy, yes? Which, generally speaking, are not good.” Ilya holds up a hand, counting on his fingers. “Napoleonic Wars, Stalingrad, Chernobyl, getting caught sucking cock with your Coach’s son. All of these would be bad, no? Very high body counts, probably.”

    There’s a lot of laughter now. In the front row, Svetlana wipes at her eyes, shoulders shaking.
