    2026-04-26

    It sure seems like being gay makes you good at hockey. At least, it seems to win you Stanley Cups. To two young Raiders, this seems like too good of a trade to miss.

    Two (OC) Raiders take a few of Roz's jokes a little too literally and conclude that gay hockey magic wins you Stanley Cups. The only problem is, they're up against the Admirals in the first round of the playoffs. In a battle of gayness, they're going to have to take matters into their own hands. Or mouths. Whatever dude. Don't make it weird.

  2. After Shane walks out post-tuna melt, Ilya Rozanov walks through hell to remind himself who he is, a man ready to salt the fucking Earth for his people.

    Shane’s not even pretending he’s capable of being rational about it, he isn’t, his world is falling apart at the seams and he’s fairly sure he’s losing his mind.

  4. In which the Raiders try to convince (okay, bribe) Shane Hollander to wife Ilya Rozanov the fuck up.

    The Raiders learn about Hollanov in a different way. Shane is very confused. Ilya loves his team. I regret nothing.

    (This takes place a few months before the great tuna melt fiasco.)

    Some sex talk but mostly a lot of swearing. Also not related to my other fics really but some of the character portrayals, especially the Boston Raiders being all good guys, is in my other work too.

  5. After his relationship with Shane Hollander became public in November 2017, Ilya Rozanov has become the Boston Raiders' go to for everything they don’t quite understand about gay sex and relationships. I mean, he did offer to answer their questions when they were surprisingly supportive of his newly revealed sexuality. It’s just that he didn’t realise exactly how stupid those questions were going to be.

    Or:

    5 times Ilya Rozanov educated the Boston Raiders about the wonderful world of gay sex and 1 time they tried to ask his boyfriend.

  6. It figures that even half-way across the world Ilya's dick manages to ruin Cliff's day. The real surprise is that it isn't the only dick involved in this mess.

    Featuring an ill-timed outing, a supportive but clueless team trying its best, panicking over Russia's LGBTQ laws, too many group chats, an unhinged 3am brainstorming session on how to get your captain a new citizenship (asking for a friend) and Roz' inability to answer his fucking phone.

    Or: Ilya disappears in Sochi. Half-way across the world his team does its best to help. Their best is more than anyone could have foreseen.

  7. Cliff Marlow had figured out who Jane was. That’s how he knew to confront Shane after the game post-tuna melt, letting him know he’d broken Ilya’s heart.

    Shane makes things right.

    OR: Cliff does a good deed, and two hockey boys play vulnerability chicken trying to actually communicate. A Tuna Meltdown fix-it.

  8. Ilya should have been scratched before the game against Montreal, but what was a little bronchitis in the face of Boston's legendary rivalry? When he collapsed during a face off, Cliff assumed he was going to be the one nursing his sick friend back to health. Instead, he became party to one of the best kept secrets in Major League Hockey.

  10. Ilya’s still learning what Shane likes and needs, observing him quietly because Shane’s not so forthcoming with what he wants unless he’s certain it’s what he’s supposed to want. But it’s not until Shane reaches back and grabs Ilya’s hip to pull him closer, pressing their bodies together and taking some of Ilya’s weight, that he realises Shane’s been studying Ilya the same way.

    “I’m trying to take care of you.”
    “Why?” Ilya says, instead of something safer.
    Shane twists over his shoulder to frown at him. “Because I want to? Because you’re tired and sad and not feeling well?”
    “Oh.” Ilya pulls his bottom lip through his teeth. “But I…”
    “I think maybe we both fucked up tonight?” Shane says tentatively.
    “No, is not your fault.” Ilya rubs a hand over Shane’s shoulder and then kisses it, wet and soft. “You’re good.”
    Shane hums like he’s not convinced. He turns and drapes his arms over Ilya’s shoulders, still pressed close. “After this, will you…”
    “Yes,” Ilya says, his mind sharpening attentively, “Tell me what you need.”


    Or: They communicate just a little bit better and let themselves be just a little more vulnerable, both with each other and their people.

  11. After the Montreal/Boston game, Ilya gets a phone call. His father is dead. There are no flights back to Russia until the morning. Ilya gets too drunk at the bar with Marleau and insists on being taken to Shane’s address when he leaves the bar.

    Shane is surprised that he doesn’t hear from Ilya after the game and even more surprised to find Marleau holding Ilya up on his doorstep at one in the morning.

  12. So what is the plan now, Mr. Spreadsheet?

    “Honestly I was kind of hoping your consciousness would just click back into your body once I touched you.” Shane scratches the back of his head.

    You treat me like slap bracelet, Ilya complains.

    After a bad hit knocks Ilya’s consciousness out of his body — literally — Shane finds himself sheltering the soul of his decade-long situationship in the back of his head. Turns out it’s a lot harder to keep secrets when you share a body.

    (They definitely still try, though.)

  14. Cliff Marleau has seen too much shit not to know there is something going on between his captains in Boston and on team Canada. He knows where his loyalty lies and he is not going to be subtle about it.
    He could ask them about it... or he could just drop hints and watch Shane's reaction. He just wants to confirm what he knew, he wasn't planning on it becoming fun.

    OR

    Ten days left of pre-Olympics hockey camp. Marleau knows. Shane suspects that Marleau knows. Hayden suspects something and comes to a completely wrong conclusion.

  16. Ilya Rozanov is calling himself Shane Hollander's boyfriend.

    Fuck.

    He glances over his shoulder, eyes flicking towards the bar's door to make sure no one else has come looking for them. The last thing he needs right now is anyone else discovering this. He's barely containing his own panic; he couldn't deal with anyone else's.

    —

    It should have been a normal post-win night out. Instead, Ilya drinks too much, misses Shane too much, and accidentally tells Marleau everything.

  17. Ilya was used to hazing. He had been subjected to it, he had participated in it, and, as a captain, he had stood guard over the rookies and protected them from anything truly harmful. But if he had been asked, Ilya would have approved of this prank. He would have authorized it, given Cliff and Vicky his seal of approval, perhaps even helped orchestrate it.

    Any other day, Ilya might have been happy to play along.

    But, in perfect dramatic irony, it had not happened any other day. It had happened today. And, cherry on top, of course the rookie had to walk in when Shane was already freaking out about Ilya saying his name.

    +++

    A prank-gone-wrong leads to the Boston Bears finding out about Shane and Ilya’s relationship in 2016. The day Ilya first invited Shane into his house. Right after they say each other’s names for the first time. Fuck his life, honestly.

  19. "The Ottawa fucking Centaurs," Cliff spits, barely even aware of the words coming out of his mouth. "Eight years. Eight goddamned years, we've been building this team! We've made it to the playoffs for years now, we have a fucking Cup! You're the captain, you know this team would follow you anywhere. The fucking kids look up to you! And you've been in Boston since you came from Russia. You have a house here, you host get-togethers for the team, you know all our WAGs and families. And you want to leave this for fucking Ottawa, for the worst team in the league? What the hell, Ilya?!"


    Or: Before Ilya Rozanov leaves Boston for the Ottawa Centaurs, he invites Cliff Marleau to his house for dinner. Cliff has known Roz for eight years and has been his best friend for almost that same length of time. None of that has prepared him to learn that his captain has, apparently, been in a secret relationship for the past eight years. With Shane Hollander.

    Before practice, Shane is caught off guard by the devastating news of an abrupt plane crash that took the lives of five Raiders players, including Ilya's. Unable to explain his grief to those closest to him, he retreats into himself, becoming a ghost of the person they loved until he's pushed to the brink of his own unmanageable pain.

    ---

    “The Raiders Plane Crashed,” was what he had heard in the locker room. From Comeau, specifically.

    Shane was pretty sure he kept talking, but if he was being honest, he didn’t hear anything past that. He just stared at his teammate’s lips moving, no sound seeming to reach his ears aside from the heavy thudding of his own heartbeat in them. There was this urge to snatch the phone out of his hand and read the news article for himself growing as the locker room managed to warp around him. But he couldn’t move, fear paralyzing him.

    “You alright?” Hayden questioned, his voice tearing through the sharp silence his mind had forced upon him.

    Shane flinched as he felt his friends hand on his shoulder, the sudden contact making him even more ill to his stomach. He didn’t dare try to nod or lie and say he was.
