Roz is out of his gear much faster than he usually is and he’s unlocking his phone with an urgency as if something were on fire. “Bro, you good?” Cliff asks while he’s still in the process of getting out of his own gear. Ilya looks up from his phone with a somewhat wild look in his eyes. “I cannot reach Jane.” Ilya says and there’s nearly no volume to it at all. It's more of a whisper than anything else. Cliff Marlow notices some things and connects some dots.

The Stars We Dream Upon by Anonymous
Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry (TV)
2026-02-16
In a world where omegas can’t play in the major leagues, Shane is stuck in the omega/beta league. He is one of the best players, but his dream had always been to create a path for himself and others to play in the major leagues. His fighting has been a lot behind the scenes, but a surprising Instagram post from Ilya Rozanov an Alpha playing for Boston in the NHL, causes his life and mission to take a surprising turn.
On the other hand, Ilya is getting bored and wants to find joy in the sport again. Little did he know that making a social media post about an omega hockey player would blow up in a whole social media discourse would change his life forever.

“This is Ilya. Ilya Rez-Ruz…” “Rozanov”, The boy said. Shane was surprised by the strange accent and deep voice of a boy his age. “Yes. Ilya Rozanov. He is your age, and he comes all the way from Russia. He doesn’t really know a lot of English, so Cooper and I have thought that it would be very helpful for both of you to be together. You can help him with the language, and, believe me, he can teach you a lot from hockey. He’s European; they do things differently there. Yes?” or; Shane and Ilya go to the same hockey summer camp every year. How much can their relationship change during those 5 years?

"So anyway," Hayden was saying, scrolling through his phone, "there's this steakhouse two blocks from here. Comeau's going, Bissonette, probably half the team. You guys in?"
Shane opened his mouth to respond, but J.J.'s fingers flexed against his inner thigh and the words died in his throat. He managed something that sounded vaguely like "Uh."
"That's not really an answer, bud." Hayden looked up, grinning. "Come on, when do we all hang out together? It'll be fun!"
Fun, Shane thought wildly, was not having J.J.'s hand creeping steadily toward his dick while trying to have a normal converstion with their friend. Though some traitorous part of his brain was filing this under incredibly hot for later examination.
(Set a couple years after "closet protocol", where teen J.J. and Shane kiss for the first time.)

Shane's stomach was in knots. He watched someone spin the bottle again to determine J.J.'s partner, and Shane's brain was screaming at the universe to land on literally anyone else, one of the girls, another guy, anyone but—
The bottle slowed.
Slowed.
Stopped.
Pointing directly at Shane.
Oh no.
It's the 2008 World Juniors semifinal, and Canada's Shane Hollander has just secured a spot in the finals beside his best friend J.J. Boiziau. Unfortunately for him, the team wants to celebrate, and celebrations apparently involve having Shane pressed up against his best friend (who he is definitely not attracted to!)

It was soft at first, tentative. Like Shane was testing, seeing if J.J. would pull away. But J.J. didn't pull away. Instead, he leaned in, cupping Shane's face with one hand and kissing him back.
Shane made a small sound, something desperate and relieved, and suddenly the kiss was different. Shane's mouth opened under his, and J.J. realized with a jolt that Shane knew exactly what he was doing. His tongue traced J.J.'s lower lip before sliding inside, and J.J. groaned because fuck, Shane was a good kisser. Really good. The kind of good that came from experience, from knowing exactly how to lick into someone's mouth to make their brain short-circuit.
"Merde," J.J. breathed against Shane's lips. "Where did you learn to kiss like that?"
Alt ending to my previous fic where J.J. does in fact hook up with Shane! The ending I deserve because they're too cute.

*

That was how he found himself sitting at the bar, a few days before the All-Star game, alone. Around him, groups of other players that he vaguely knew were all talking and laughing together. It was for the best, he had to tell himself to stop the jealousy from eating him from the inside out.

The heart monitor Ilya is standing next to starts beeping really quickly. “Hey, why is this going crazy? Is this normal? Should I call for the nurse?” Shane giggles, his eyes tearing up. “No, it's not normal. But it's you, so…” He inclines his head and tucks his and Ilya's joined hands somewhere under his ear. “It's my heart, Ilya.” He croaks, his voice painfully scratchy. He points with his other hand at the monitor that is still beeping fairly fast. “It goes crazy because of you.”

fall in love again and again by galactictsukki
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid

“I’m putting in a transfer request to Carleton this afternoon.” Ilya gets off his bike and wraps his sweaty arms around Shane’s sweaty shoulders, presses their sweaty heads together and holds him tight. “Nooo, Hollander, you cannot leave me. Who will put Barrett and Marly in time out when they fuck up too many shots in a row?” “I’m sure Bood will do it. He loves bossing people around.” Bood stands up straight and salutes his captains. “I take the title with great honor. Enjoy the Ravens, Hollander—your legacy of being a chaste Victorian debutante will be remembered fondly but not carried on.” This snaps that last thread of Shane’s refined patience. “I can pick up girls! I have no problem getting numbers and calling them and talking!” Hazy smirks. “Innocent until proven guilty.” “I can pick people up,” Shane says again, moving off his bike and out of Ilya’s sweaty embrace. “And I don’t have to do it by concocting schemes or stripping on top of the LAX bros’ coffee table.” Or, after some team chirping at Shane's expense, Ilya accidentally interrupts a few of his potential dating prospects and then keeps on doing it less than accidentally
