    The MLH decided to sponsor a week-long summer event for new players and up-and-coming prospects that they were calling the MLH All-Stars Summer Exhibition. And in the inaugural cohort, in addition to many talented prospects and players new to the league? Rookie of the Year Shane Hollander and runner up Ilya Rozanov.

    OR

    After their rookie season, Shane and Ilya have to share a room in Arizona. For a week.

  2. Shane tries not to be disappointed in the way the whole thing has worked out. Because the thing about Rozanov is that his existence is infuriating. And he is so much fun to play against. Shane had almost liked the thought of having a rival and, had the lottery gone a little differently, he and Rozanov would have been drafted to the same division and really delivered on that possibility. They could have really enjoyed it.

    As it stands, one of them is going to the southernmost team in the league, and the other is going all the way up North.

    Or-

    The draft lottery goes a little differently and suddenly there is no rivalry, no joint CCM campaign, and nothing between Shane and Ilya but a charged encounter in a hotel gym and 4,000 kilometres of distance.

    A lot of things are different, and some others are too fated to be ruined by something as immaterial as luck.

  3. Three rookies. One season. Cameras everywhere. The First Shift is a reality show following the NHL’s hottest rookies from Draft Day through their first year — on the ice, off it, and everywhere in between. Which is a problem for Shane and Ilya almost immediately.

  4. Ilya figures out the key to escaping the time loop on the third consecutive Tuesday. It isn’t exactly hard.

    The time loop chews him up and spits him out a hundred Tuesdays later.

  5. Rozanov is due to arrive today. Cliff isn’t freaking out. Not even a little bit. He just has no idea what to expect from him.

    Or:

    Five people who fail to clock Ilya Rozanov and one who immediately figures him out. AKA "being a little transparent as a hockey player is fine, because it doesn't occur to other hockey players that you might be queer".

  7. “You are vampire?” Rozanov asked, replacing his cigarette between his lips. He lit the end and took a long drag.

    “Uh,” Shane blinked at him. “Half, technically. And you’re… a werewolf.”

  8. Cliff isn’t proud of it, but his first thought when he sees the video is that he knew Roz was going to be involved in some kind of sex scandal one day. He always kind of assumed there was a sex tape out there somewhere, that would end up spreading like wildfire.

    It’s just that the scandal in Cliff’s mind involved something more like the adulterous wife of a Voyageur, and less like the anonymous dick of some guy in a club bathroom.

    So, point to Roz, he guesses, for still managing to surprise him after all these years.

  10. Shane Hollander has always known the risk wasn’t going to be zero.

    Sneaking into a rival team’s hotel late at night to meet Ilya Rozanov comes with a margin of error.

    Unfortunately, statistics say that if you do something long enough, eventually the math catches up with you.

    He just didn’t see this one particular risk coming.

  11. For one, singular, blissful moment, nothing is wrong when Ilya wakes up.

    And then the bubble pops.

    With something less like a pinprick and more like a gunshot.

    --

    After Ilya is outed he has to deal with being the only openly queer player in the league, being Russian, and being in love with Hollander even after he ran away all at once. It sucks. He does it anyway.

  12. Ilya Rozanov was an asshole. Everybody knew this. Sometimes, though, secretly, he wasn't.

  13. “You are Scott Hunter’s boy, yes?” Hockey Guy asked, and fuck, he was Russian. Not that Kip had anything against Russians, of course, but the chances were that any given Russian in the NHL was not going to be all that friendly to gay people. The only Russian NHL player Kip was at all familiar with was that Rozanov guy from Boston, and based on the “fighter, womanizer, party boy” stories he’d heard about the guy, he was really hoping that he was not the man standing next to him.

    “Yeah. That’s me.” Kip confirmed, standing straighter and flashing a tight smile.

    Hockey Guy grinned and offered his hand. “Ilya Rozanov. Nice to meet you.”

    God fucking damn it.

    Or: During the MLH award ceremony, Kip finds himself having a very interesting conversation with Ilya Rozanov.

  15. Ilya Rozanov has seen the tape on Hollander, seen his blazing speed and his quick hands, his almost psychic ability to know where the puck will be. Hollander is a magician on the ice, the best prospect in the world except for Ilya himself. But up close, Hollander looks young. Soft. Western. He has big eyes and freckles across his nose like a little kid. He is attractive in the way that many young men are attractive, his face not yet hardened by the work of the real world, and he seems nervous to be out here, nervous to be seen with Ilya. Because Ilya has been forced to learn everything about Hollander, Ilya knows that Hollander is older than him, not much, a few weeks. But looking at him, Ilya feels weary and old. He hates that.

  17. Hayden just looked at him for a few moments. He never quite felt like he could fully get a read on him. And then, he had a thought. Shane might punch him in the face, but he had a feeling... “Okay, then. Maybe you’re meeting someone else?” He kept his voice as level as possible, not wanting to spook him. Whatever weird quirks Shane may have had, Hayden still loved the kid. “Maybe... a guy?” Hayden starts to realize some things about Shane, but he never could have predicted that his secret Boston hookup was... Ilya Rozanov?
