Dear PenPal, Cry Every Day Until My Next Letter by Anonymous
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
2026-10-22
In 2003, Shane Hollander is assigned a PenPal, and gains a friend. A friend who smokes, calls him boring, and gives him ridiculous nicknames.
Across the world, Ilya Rozanov practices his English with a curious Canadian boy whose name he can't fucking remember.
Or, before they were Canada's Shane Hollander and Russia's Ilya Rozanov, they were Cat and Elijah. Shane has no reason to suspect his childhood PenPal is his hockey rival, and Ilya has never even considered that the man he's falling for is also the boy he already fell in love with through letters and postcards.

“Is that what he does, then?” she asks, walking down the hallway to put the garment bag next to the one already there.
She turns back, and sees Shane looking at her with a furrowed brow. She thought that question was clear, but perhaps not. “Like, philanthropy?” Given what hot boyfriend wears, he’s got to be making some serious buck. Or he was born into wealth. “My friend James dated a Russian socialite for a couple of months, and she just went to art galleries and threw dinner parties,” Ana elaborates. “Her dad’s an oligarch who, like, defected from the motherland in the late nineties.”
or: four times shane's stylist meets his boyfriend, and one time she finally figures out who the boyfriend actually is.

"I am… Not great. At swimming." This was something Ilya never would have admitted in any other circumstance, but he'd confessed to worse, earlier tonight.
Shane laughed in his face, bright and loud, the corners of his eyes crinkled. It was hard for Ilya to be annoyed, with Shane's face still cradled in his palm. "No shit, I've seen you swim. Who taught you that terrible breaststroke?"
OR: 2017, All-Star missing scene: after Shane's confession, Shane and Ilya go on a midnight swim. A meditation on love, trust, and the body.

It won’t technically kill you, if you hide your soul so far away from the world that even you can’t see it. It won’t kill you, but fuck, it will hurt.
(Shane always keeps his dæmon out of sight, pushing the limits of distance as much as humanly possible, until he can’t anymore. Until Ilya Rozanov says his name, and something breaks.)

When it happens the puck has just left his stick.
It's a clean hit, but Shane takes it horribly, crumbling on impact and colliding with the boards. While he tries valiantly to keep his head up, he feels himself slide sideways and his last fully coherent thought occurs as his head cracks against both the ice and the bottom edge of the boards.
Immediately, the arena starts to wilt.
“… We just want a future.”
“I have only been in love with one person…”
Shane falls backwards and sinks, the ice turning to water beneath him.
“Holy shit. I love you too…”
“I love you…”
The words—memories?— are swimming amongst him, angled and distorted; they consume him, they’re are all he can process, even as someone else—a medic, maybe?— on the periphery now, says, "Just stay still Hollander."

Long Change by Anonymous

2026-09-20
Three years isn't that long, really. It's long enough to get a Master's Degree in Art History. Long enough to build the foundations of a relationship that could last the rest of their lives. Long enough for a professional hockey player to figure out how to tell the world he's gay.
What happened between episode 3 and episode 5, with our sweet boys and all the people who helped them get there.

“Were you thinking of also bringing clothes?” Shane asked, glancing into Ilya’s suitcase.
“Do you think we will need them?”
“I’m just saying you might want the option of going outside,” Shane said, dropping a kiss on Ilya’s shoulder and wandering into the closet.
Ilya was obviously going to pack clothing, he just had priorities. Like making sure their whole sex toy collection would fit into his suitcase, not to mention two of the biggest bottles of lube he’d been able to find.
“Take the batteries out of anything that vibrates,” Shane called. Ilya rolled his eyes. What was he, an amateur? “Do you think I should bring two pairs of walking shoes or is one enough?”
“How many walking tours are we going on?”
“I don’t know.”
“How do you not know? What have you been doing for the past month?”
“Research! But I didn’t book anything yet in case we decide we want to just sit by the pool for ten days instead.”
Or: Shane and Ilya Go Honeymooning. Set after The Long Game.

At The Devil’s Sacrament by Anonymous
Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types, Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry (TV)
2026-08-18
A blog reports on Ilya Rozanov’s presence at Scott Hunter’s gay club afterparty following the 2017 NHL Awards—and twitter reacts.
I perched at the bar watching with a sinking sense of dread as the minutes ticked by and not one other player walked through the door.
Until one did.
Ilya Rozanov, captain of the Boston Bears and this year’s recipient of the Rocket Richard Award, turned up alone nearly two hours after Hunter’s group arrived. It was a shocking development for a number of reasons.
Bloggers be like “I saw Ilya Rozanov dancing with gay men at the Devil’s Sacrament!!!!” girl… what were YOU doing at the Devil’s Sacrament?

Lily Has Questions, Jane Does Not Have Answers by Anonymous
Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry (TV)
2026-08-16
Most days, Shane loved the unhinged text messages he would get from Ilya Rozanov. Random streams of consciousness, hilarious insults about other hockey players, critiques of games, excitement over the dogs he would meet on his daily runs.
But some days, the messages were so completely off the rails that Shane wanted to strangle him.
Today was one of those days.

Old friends Eric Bennett and Brandon Wiebe realize - oh yeah, that time when we were best friends at hockey camp in high school, actually maybe we were boyfriends? They’ve been casual friends for decades since then, but when Eric comes out publicly, Wiebe reaches out. They catch up and debrief life and hockey as bisexual men while Eric enjoys his first year of retirement and Wiebe navigates his first year as a coach.
Ilya Rozanov is just delighted to have bisexual friends. Even if they don’t always know he’s bisexual too. And since his love language is being a little shit, he badgers them into bisexual solidarity.OR:

Author’s note:
Hi everyone! It’s been awhile. Sorry this chapter is late. I was traveling over the weekend and my plane almost crashed, it lost an engine mid-air but thankfully we landed safely and everyone is ok. But I was writing this chapter with the plane wifi so I lost half of my edits and had to rewrite it. Hope you enjoy!Or: Luca Haas, Hollanov fanboy extraordinaire, suffers through a series of unfortunate events.
