1 – 20 of 24 Works in Good Friend Scott Hunter (Game Changers)

  • Good Friend Scott Hunter (Game Changers) ×
  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. 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.

  3. so maybe that random person who commented on Shane Hollander's twitter statedment after him and Ilya had been outed had been right, there was a secret MHL gay society...and maybe it had been Ilya's plan all along

    -

    Or

    Ilya creates a group chat with all the queer players he knows about and has the number for...and maybe one he doesn't know about yet but shhhh it's still a secret

  5. "I'm sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop.”

    Ilya’s brow furrows and his eye squints the way it does when he's parsing his mental English phrasebook to determine what someone is saying.

    “Waiting for… bad thing to happen, yes?”

    Shane smiles sadly but nods, “Yeah, exactly.”

    “Well, first shoe is pretty great. Wonderful shoe, even. I've never seen a more special or important shoe in my life,” Ilya gushes.

    As the Centaurs go on their road trip without Shane, Shane has to face down Roger Crowell alone.

  6. Svetlana knows about Jane. It's frankly insulting for Ilyusha to think otherwise. She just never expected to have to call him for help. During the Olympics. In Russia. In the dead of night. - Or, it's Sochi 2014 and Russia has lost to Latvia. Grigori Rozanov, not yet compromised by illness, punishes his son for shaming the family. When Svetlana finds an injured and emotionally fragile Ilya, she knows she needs somewhere safe for him to recover. And there's only one person in Russia who Sveta trusts with her Ilyusha: Canada's Golden Boy, Shane Hollander.

  7. Scott and Ilya put up a united front against all the homophobic assholes in the league. Well, maybe not that united. But at least they're changing the narrative a bit, one homophobe at a time.

  8. “Scott Hunter is next door, yes?”

    “No way we're asking him for help. What would we even say? Hey Hunter, we were just fucking each other next door, and I broke my leg, and by the way, we think you're gay, so wanna help us?”

    Or

    Ilya and Shane just spent a great night together after the All-Star Game. Life is good.

    Until Shane trips and breaks his leg, and they have to figure out what to do so he isn't found in his biggest rival's hotel room at 2 am.

    Ilya has an idea. It involves asking Scott Hunter for help.

  9. Scott was speaking again before he could gather himself enough to back down. You fucking heard me, Hollander.
    Next thing he knew, he was fighting Shane Hollander. Or, more accurately, being fought by Shane Hollander, because Scott was so stunned by the fact that Shane fucking Hollander was fighting him to even really do anything to defend himself.
    And now, at whatever stupid time of the night, Shane Hollander is standing outside his hotel room door, having just knocked softly.
    "Get in here, kid," Scott says. "Let's talk."

    After his fight with Shane on the ice, Scott learns more about the soft spot he'd hit, and Shane realises he might have found a safe space to talk about what's going on with him and Rozanov.

  10. Scott can’t stand Ilya Rozanov. Sure, Rozanov is a generational wunderkind, but he’s also annoying as hell and always ready with a chirp.

    “Do you have a spot in the nursing home yet, Hunter? I am hearing from my grandma they go fast!”

    “Are you getting tired? It must be past your bedtime already!”

    “What kind of skating is that? Is your arthritis acting up again?”

    Scott’s age is Rozanov’s favorite topic, but now that Scott has come out, he shudders to think about what Rozanov will throw at him this season.

    Or, 5 times Rozanov makes fun of Scott for being old, and 1 time he makes fun of Scott for being gay.

  11. Carter Vaughn (NY):

    You know all of a sudden Hollanders lack of texts seems really ominous

    You good there @Hollander

    You:

    No

    No I am not because one of the stupid fucking 19 year olds I’m somehow responsible for decided not to wear his bloody mouthguard at afternoon skate and the absolute dumbass took a stick to the face

    So now I’m sitting in the ER waiting for him to get back from xray because of course its the one rookie who isn’t with a billet family 

    Why are they like this?

    Their mothers didn't drop them on their heads enough as babys so the universe decided to do it for them

    -

    When Montreal and Boston name two 20 year olds as their captains, Scott Hunter decides that they could probably do with somewhere to turn to for advice.

    Four years later, he doesn't quite know if he regrets that or not.

    It's all Marly's fault.

    He just had to mention 'Jane from Montreal' during an interview. And then JJ went and tweeted about 'Boston Lily'.

    And sure, Shane and Ilya are out and married now, but there are some things they had managed to keep private, their burner twitter accounts for one. But with the names Jane and Lily out there and their apparent 'very recognizable talking patterns' it took the internet 0.5 seconds to find them. And now Shane and Ilya have to deal with their friends publicly reacting to things they thought would forever remain anonymous.

    Surprising everyone, Ilya is the one suffering the most.

    Or.

    The Admirals, Metros and Raiders react to Hollanov burner accounts tweets.

  13. When Shane announces to the world that he is signing with the Ottawa centaurs and that he is engaged to Ilya in a post online the response he gets is a little different to what he was expecting...but it was a lot better too

  14. As far as games go, it isn’t the dirtiest that Shane has suffered through. There are dirty hits and chirps that are a little meaner than usual and the Voyageurs are no better, but no one leaves on a backboard and Shane doesn’t have anything worse than some scattered bruises.

    That changes when he meets up with Hunter for drinks afterward. Shane is not unused to irritated fans in rival cities, but getting punched in a bar after a game is not on his list of things to do. Between everyone standing in Scott Hunter's apartment, though, Ilya is the one who looks the most upset by it.

  16. When Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov arrive in Ottawa, everyone expects the hard part to be hockey.

    What they don’t expect is how difficult — and how hopeful — it will be to finally build a life together.

    As the Centaurs rebuild, Shane and Ilya navigate new teammates, new expectations, and the unfamiliar challenge of letting their relationship exist outside of stolen moments and long-distance phone calls.

    Because it turns out, being on a losing hockey team might be the easy part.

    Learning how to have a future together is something else entirely.

    “Have you talked to Scott Hunter?”

    “No—”

    “I did. Briefly, after MLH Awards in June.”

    “And… what did he say?”

    “Hey,” Scott says, and when Ilya looks up at him he’s watching him with a softer, concerned expression. “Are you okay?”
