"You've been dating for years," Hayden quickly clarifies, "and at no point did you think it would be a good idea to come up with some kind of plan for if this happened. You ghost everyone when you see each other. Half the time I don't know if you're alive or dead, and you still couldn't find ten minutes out of your busy schedules to figure out a contingency plan?"
"Big word." Ilya grins. "Have you been reading dictionary?"
"We weren't planning on getting married in Vegas," Shane points out when Hayden passes him on his lap around the bed. His eyes briefly flick to the TV. "Or coming out with such a spectacle. Obviously."
No matter how many times he'd turned it over, how many times he'd painstakingly played out every worst case scenario, he'd still never landed remotely close to what the reality had turned out to be: Hayden Pike pacing circles around their penthouse suite as he and Ilya hide from the rest of the world.
Or Shane and Ilya get drunk married in Vegas. Their friends try and keep their secret while they hole up in a hotel room.

“You need to calm down,” Ilya says. “You will wear out your fancy sneakers.”
“Is this a joke to you?!” Shane snaps, turning so sharply that his Rebooks squeak against the warehouse’s cement. “It’s not fucking funny. These guys could fucking ruin everything.”
Ilya clenches his jaw. Shane is scared and he hates that there’s nothing he can do to fix it. Ever since the video landed in both their inboxes, neither of them has had a good night’s sleep.
or
One year into their relationship a video risks exposing Shane and Ilya’s relationship. To protect their secret, they will need to do as the backmailers demand. But how far are they willing to go? And what if there’s more going on that meets the eye?

Credit Where It's Due by Anonymous

-----
After Ilya and Shane are outed, Marleau books himself on to the same queer studies course that the Raiders management forced Ilya to attend when he was cancelled for being a homophobe.It turns out several other Raiders players thought Marleau had the right idea about that. Now around half of the Raiders roster are all sat together in the little classroom. It’s about as chaotic as you would expect. The professor Sandra is forced to add an increasing number of amendments to the ‘Course Rules and Guidelines’ that she never expected to be putting into writing.
-----
Amendment No. 5. - No, there are no additional course credits for “proving you’re an ally by complimenting your bros in the locker room showers."Amendment No. 6. - Downloading Grindr will also not get you any extra credits. [ Although if you wish to download Grindr for its intended purposes, I would obviously not want to discourage you in this. ]
Amendment No. 7. - Taking time during games to tell Admirals player Scott Hunter that you think his boyfriend is extremely hot is NOT actually effective allyship within the league. Yes, EVEN if Ilya Rozanov told you it would be.

Shane broke up with his high school girlfriend before leaving for the NHL. He doesn't think he'll ever talk to her again, but one day just before his second season, she shows up at his apartment. She tells him she's gay, and her parents kicked her out. Obviously, he offers her a place to stay. His parents, the Metros, and the media all make assumptions about their relationship, and they figure... why not let them assume?
He says, “It’ll be cool. Like… a sleepover with friends.”
He says, “What else do you need?”
He does not say, “I think I get it more than I should.”
And that’s how Jessica comes to live with him.- Language:

“Shane,” he says, dread filling his stomach, “is this Boston Lily’s house?”
“Maybe,” Shane says, dropping down another cooler with a loud bang. “But shhhhh,” he says, putting a finger to his lips, “you can’t tell, okay?”
“Shane,” Hayden says, a little desperately. “Shane, we have to go.”
“No,” Shane says, drunk and stubborn and pushing the doorbell about fifty thousand times in quick succession until Hayden pulls his arm away.
“Shane,” Hayden says, nearly a plea, “listen, I know she broke your heart, but dropping off two hundred pounds of tuna isn’t-”
Before he can finish telling Shane that a drive-by tuna fishing isn’t a cure for a broken heart, the door opens. When it does, though, it’s not some buxom Boston beauty in a silky negligee.
It’s Ilya fucking Rozanov.
Hayden’s one consolation in this mindfuck is that at least Rozanov looks equally surprised at finding himself in this situation.
(while drowning his sorrows post tuna meltdown, shane ends up in possession of approximately two hundred pounds of raw tuna) (naturally, there's only one person he wants to gift with such a bounty)

“Shane, this is Ilya Rozanov.”
For a world-ending moment, it felt like the ground was falling out from beneath him. The hand he’d been extending to greet the new bodyguard froze in midair, a stab of panic jolting through his entire body.
Because it was the man from the night before. The man he’d slept with.
(Shane Hollander is the son of the Canadian prime minister. He is also the captain of his college hockey team. This obscene balancing act is seemingly going just fine, until he accidentally hooks up with his new bodyguard one night at the bar.)

Homecoming (Homebound) by Anonymous
Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry (TV)
2026-09-30
“Who was it?”
Comeau’s words fell over the room like a blanket. They were pointed, no soft curiosity, a demand for Hayden to reveal what he already knew.
Who would Hayden have a video of? What two men kissing would make Hayden flip like he did?
If it was two strangers he wouldn’t have freaked out.
Or
The FanMail video gets refunded to Hayden in the middle of the Metro’s locker room. No viral post, nothing about Ilya, but Shane gets exposed for being in a relationship. Ilya is safe, but everything crumbles around Shane. They get the chance to do things a little bit different, a little bit better.

“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.

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.

It was the strangest drunken sensation he’d ever felt in his life — the whoosh that immediately followed and the sudden lightness of his limbs. Blinking in slow surprise, Ilya looked down and realized that he was, much to his chagrin, now stuck against his bedroom wall, his wrists seemingly glued on either side of him.
“Booby trap,” he whispered, giggling to himself as he tugged at his bindings.
There was a scuffling noise and Ilya looked up just in time to watch in awe as Shane Hollander literally dropped down from the ceiling.
Or, Ilya’s (hot) new roommate might be a spider. Ilya has a crush on him anyway.

the shape of your hands made me brave by justhockey
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
2026-09-12
“Loving you - being loved by you - has made me feel brave,” Shane says, like it isn’t the most important thing anyone has ever said to Ilya. He feels like he is floating. Ilya’s chest is warm and fuzzy, and he is so overcome with affection and happiness, that he doesn’t know what to do with himself. He doesn’t think there’s enough room in his chest for all the love that he is feeling right now - for his husband, for the life they have built together, for the future they have fought for.

Catfished by Shane Hollander!? by Anonymous
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types
2026-09-09
“Who are you talking to?” Sveta is looking with a raised eyebrow, at Ilya’s delighted face.
“Ah, I am talking to my catfish.”
“What do you mean, your catfish?” Ilya angles the phone so Sveta can see the shirtless picture on the screen.
“This guy is pretending to be Shane Hollander on Grindr. It’s pretty funny. He’s cropped the face out, but he’s using pictures from the billboard next to my apartment.”
Or: Ilya Rozanov is sure he's being catfished- why would the real Shane Hollander be on Grindr, talking to random university of Ottawa students? But the more he talks to Wayne, the more he starts to like him, and the more he wishes Wayne would just come clean so they can finally be together.
