1 – 6 of 6 Works in Denial

  • Denial ×
  1. Shane Hollander begins his NHL career unchallenged when Ilya Rozanov enters the KHL after World Juniors. One season of being allowed to terrorize the ice and the Winner’s Room is enough for Boston to drag Ilya out of Russia.

    What they had not accounted for in releasing a second generational talent into the league was that not all predators are solitary. Ilya may want to bring Hollander to his knees, but he wants to present the defeat of an inferior player to his feet first.

    He just has to convince Hollander to let him.

  2. Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been best friends since they were twelve. They were attached at the hip, as much as two straight guys could be. Everyone accepted that Shane and Ilya were just being Shane and Ilya. Or: Shane and Ilya think they know where to draw the line between straight best friends and whatever the hell they keep doing.

    Oh, he’s not gonna like this, but he knows how to let Shane know that Hayden will be welcoming to Lily. He grabs his laptop off the coffee table and looks up transgender athletes. If he can subtly drop some facts here and there, stuff that’ll stick in Hollzy’s insane memory for anything sports-related, Shane will start opening up about Lily before he even realizes he’s doing it. Hayden will—what’s it called?—classically condition him. Fucking take that, Pavlov.

    Hayden sees a picture he shouldn’t have seen, comes to some interesting but well-meaning conclusions, and maybe learns some stuff about himself along the way.

    Or, according to Mx_Cryptid on Ch. 4, "Hayden allied too close to the sun and cracked [his] own egg. Poor baby."

    His mother stared at him, wide eyed and more than a little panicked. "Shane, honey, what do you remember?"

    He searched his mind for a memory of this game, of the injury - but nothing came to him. The pain worsened, and he groaned, clutching his head. Fuck, that hurt.

    "Shane, is okay. Don't hurt yourself more, please." Rozanov said. He moved his hand towards Shane's, trying to grasp hold of it.

    Shane swatted him away violently, aghast. What the fuck was he playing at?

    "Get the fuck off of me, Rozanov."

    Both Rozanov and his mother gaped at him.

    "Shane-" Rozanov tried again, but Shane wasn't having it.

    He was beginning to panic. It was too much; the too-bright blue lights, his mother's panic, the constant beeping of the monitor, the big gaping whole in his memory, the godawful scratchy feeling of the cheap fabric of the hospital gown - it was all making him lose his fucking mind because it was making him itch and too hot and - and worst of all, Ilya fucking Rozanov was trying to hold his hand and call him sweetheart in front of his mom.
