    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.

    “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.

    Hollander watched him through the screen, face flushed and dark eyes half-lidded, heavy from the powerful orgasm that had just rocked him on the other side of the country. “I guess I won’t see you until next season, then.”

    Ilya snorted, dropping the towel onto the floor. “I don’t have seasons. At least not the same ones you do.”

    ----

    Ilya didn't regret leaving hockey behind. His life was his own now, inconsistent, frustrating, and difficult as it was.

    His fascination with Shane Hollander, then, was just that—a fascination, a curiosity about the world that could have been, a glimpse of the life that he might have had. But fascination could grow, when there was somewhere to take root.

    Shane Hollander was a garden.

    October 31st. It was after ten p.m., so the streetlamps and other cars’ headlights glowed eerie in the pounding rain on Route 342 toward Montreal. Not that the sky would have been any brighter at six, these days. That was what time did to you: pickpocketed summer sun and warmth until, before you knew it, you were forty-two and your coach was playing you on the second line more and more.

    --

    Shane Hollander, age 42, crashes his car on a stormy Halloween night and accepts a ride from a handsome stranger on a motorbike.

    This is a spooky Halloween story, but also a story about getting older, the burden of perfection and the loneliness of the closet.

    “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.”

    “Oh,” Hollander says. Landry is still just kind of staring at the photos, face unreadable, but he must see something in her expression, because he reaches across the table to take her left hand into his—squeezes, covers it with his other hand as well. “I don’t think—well, her parents got married in front of this little pond area so—"

    Hollander turns to look at her. Landry is still staring at the flower arches: the baby breath, the forget-me-nots, the heaps and heaps of roses sharing her name. Sveta throws a questioning glance Ilya’s way, her perfectly sculptured eyebrows making a valid effort to fly off her face. Ilya shrugs.

    And then Rose Landry bursts into heaving sobs.

    -
    or: Ilya gets hired to plan Hollandrys wedding. And that would be--great! If only he didn't have to biggest crush on the groom-to-be. Only, maybe he's got some things backwards?

    An AU where Shane and Ilya meet in very different circumstances. Ilya’s a generational talent, a star and recognised wherever he goes thanks to his talent on stage and the lucrative magazine and advertising contracts his fame brings him. He lives his life in Boston as best he can but recently someone has taken against him and while the threatening letters were unpleasant they didn’t bother him much. He was more bothered by the knife in his side that stopped him performing for months, but now he’s healed and due on stage in a few hours. He hopes he can still make it because he hadn’t been expecting a stranger with uncertain motives to approach him in a deserted alley. When he finds out exactly who he is his life gets much more complicated. Ilya Rozanov has various problems in his life but right now the most pressing one is the dark haired freckled man who’s crashed into his life.

    Ilya Rozanov had been talking to Harris Drover on Grindr for six months now—which was probably way longer than Grindr’s social etiquette and common sense dictated, but the guy was just something else, and Ilya hadn’t been able to convince himself to stop even once it was clear that they were never going to meet, and that sexting was all he was ever gonna get.

    Harris was—he was fun, in that dry, sarcastic, bitchy, bratty way that Ilya went absolutely feral for. There was just one thing—one tiny, minuscule problem—well, more of a small wrinkle. Inconsequential at best, really.

    Harris was catfishing Ilya with pictures of Shane Hollander.

    or; the risk Ilya took was calculated... but boy, is he bad at math.

    With the first overall selection of the 2010 NHL draft, the New York Admirals are proud to select Shane Hollander.
     

    “Ah, New York! New York is nice, yes?”

    “Uh, yeah, I guess. I haven’t really spent much time there. Yet, I guess.”

    “I am also moving to New York.”

    ----

    On the night of the NHL draft, Shane Hollander goes to the gym. Ilya Rozanov may not be a hockey player, but somehow he is there, in Shane’s orbit, in New York, under his skin.

    Or, how more proximity can turn a fuck buddy into a best friend, but falling in love is always hard.

    Ilya was barely back from the World Juniors and had barely met Shane Hollander when his hockey career was taken from him. He was so close to escaping everything in Russia, only to be caught by his brother, ruined by his father, and forced to marry Svetlana to escape.

    Now he's finally on his own, with his shitty studio apartment, his shitty job as a facilities tech in the Raider's Stadium, and his overall shitty life. Nothing could get worse from here, and he has no reason to think it'll get better. Until he runs into Shane fucking Hollander while smoking behind a club, maybe he could get a second chance with the man he's been secretly crushing on for years?

    “Hello Shane. This is Ilya again, calling about your solar panel quote. Call me back when you are able, the number is—”

    Shane pokes the delete button so hard he worries about his phone screen. Every day, this fucking company calls him. Sometimes it’s Elaine or Cyrus, but Shane finds it the most irritating when it’s Ilya. Something about his attitude in his definitely-not-attractive-and-distracting Russian accent makes him sound smug, like he knows he’ll get the sale.

    He will never get the sale.

    Shane Hollander is never getting solar panels installed. Someone should probably tell Ilya, the solar panel salesman.

    “Because you want to ride my bike. You stare at it with those pretty Bambi eyes. I know those looks, and those looks cause trouble.”

    “What if I like trouble?” Shane asked innocently, their breaths mixing together. He could see the sparkles in Ilya’s eyes. In this moment, Shane had officially voiced his decision, there was no turning back now. From this gang, from Ilya.

    “You don’t.” Ilya answered for him. But then they were crashing together.

    -

    Or where Ilya Rozanov is the leader of a ruthless motorcycle gang called the Centaurs. Shane is the love of his life who sits on the back of his bike.
