  1. Shane woke up alone, in pain and confused. He remembered the hit; Marlow had sent him down to the ice. He remembered Ilya visiting before anyone else. He doesn't understand what is wrong; why are more tests being ordered? The C test. The test for being a rare Male Carrier.

    He hadn't thought about Carriers since he was in school. Why would he? His mother had done the test when he was a child. It had been negative. So why was he hurting in places he shouldn't? Why was a nice nurse telling him they needed to take him somewhere else for some specialised testing?

    When Shane Hollander took a nasty hit on the ice against Boston, he was woken up to a very serious, very shocking discovery. To something he hadn't believed was possible. He now has to deal with the fallout; decisions have to be made, as well as life-altering choices. But first he has to work out how to tell his years-long situationship - who he is completely and totally in love with - that he managed to get him pregnant, when neither of them was aware it was possible. Shane is terrified, confused and furious all at the same time. All he wants is Ilya, but is Ilya still going to want him now?

  3. Ilya and Shane are settling into married life with kids. The only issue, of course, is bedtime - or namely a lack of it, as Shane and Ilya struggle to get their daughters to assent to such arbitrary things as rules and boundaries. Desperate for a little time with his husband, Shane introduces the kids to bonhomme sept heures, hoping to encourage them to go to bed. This has some unintended consequences that Shane could not have imagined.

    or - Shane introduces the family to bonhomme sept heures; it freaks Ilya out more than the kids.

  4. All told he got into a couple scraps a year, but nothing to write home about – he didn’t instigate, he didn’t go too far. He kept his head level and focused on what it needed to be focused on: winning the game. Sure, one time he almost punched Scott Hunter’s lights out after a game, but whatever – he was emotionally compromised then, sue him. Mostly everyone assumed that was a weird blip and let it go, and he and Scott maintained enough professional friendliness at league events that everyone figured it wasn’t personal, which it wasn’t.

    All of that to say that the more and more the media went on about Hockey’s Golden Boy, the more people forgot that Shane was, at the end of the day, just like any other professional hockey player. He knew how to throw a fucking punch. He just chose not to, most times, for strategic reasons.

    It became apparent that people had forgotten this very key fact almost immediately after he joined the Centaurs.

    Twitter has a few things to say about it.

    @hockeyhickeys
    I literally don’t know what part of this to react to first. The family trauma? Ilya Rozanov feels feelings. ILYA ROZANOV LOVES SHANE HOLLANDER??

    @raidersgirl
    DOES SHANE KNOW? DO WE KNOW IF HE FOUND OUT

    @litwithfatih
    This man goes from pouring his feelings out to his lover of [redacted timeline] for what sounds like the FIRST FUCKING TIME

  6. “Please,” he whispered, “just tell me what the real problem is.”

    “Did Rozanov call you a few weeks ago? From Russia? After his father passed?” his mom asked.

    The lie rushed out of him on reflex,

    “No, we don’t talk. Why would we?”

    “There’s a recording, Shane.”

  7. "Never have I ever checked out my teammates in the locker room." Comeau said, looking directly at him. Shane left his beer exactly where it was and met Comeau's gaze without saying a word, waiting for someone else to break the silence, because surely that had to have been a joke. "Come on, Cap. It's no fun if you're just gonna lie." Drapeau let out with a quiet snort. Shane frowned, genuinely confused. "What?" "You really expect us to believe you've never taken a peek at us in the showers?" ⎯⎯⎯ Or: A game of Never Have I Ever with the Voyageurs turns ugly, it's a good thing Ilya is not too far way.

  8. It occurs to Shane, distantly, that he’ll have to wear the defaced jersey and his sweaty uniform pants if he wants to leave the locker room. He really, really wants to leave the locker room.

    His feet won’t move, though, like the bottom half of his body is suddenly made of lead, while the rest of him twists uncontrollably in the wind. His head feels like it’s floating off into outer space.

    Traitor.

    Things get worse for Shane after he and Ilya get outed to the world. Ilya and the Centaurs help soften the blow.

  9. Being pregnant in any type of hot weather was not for the faint of heart. Shane was used to being hot, as an athlete doing strenuous exercise got him pretty fired up and other activities included would have him dripping sweat. He was even used to working out in hot weather but this— this was something else. This was a heatwave from hell cooked up in Satan's kitchen specially to torment his pregnant ass. Or the one where Ilya needs a tall glass of Shane.

  10. When the MLH announces all games are cancelled for the rest of the evening, Shane Hollander knows something is weirdly wrong. There's no precedent for it in league history. A string of messages from Ilya and a phone call from his mother confirm the worst: something has happened, and he doesn't know what.

  11. Recovery isn't linear.
    Knowing this, and believing it, are two different things.

    Shane moves to Ottawa, ready to finally spend time with his soulmate, properly. Maybe the excitement is why he doesn't always notice.

    Ilya wins the Cup with Shane at his side, but it doesn't matter as much as it should have. Not when his body hurts and his mind is fragile and he feels one moment away from collapse.

    Timeline goes back and forth, but we start off one year after the events of the previous story.
    In the end, everything will be okay.

  12. Boston, while they usually draft players they know to be aggressive, see Shane Hollander, classically Canadian, composed, and calculating, and realize they have an opportunity. Not to reform their image necessarily, but to put out the narrative of a better influence. No one expects Shane Hollander to snarky, suave, and all together trouble for the league.

    Montreal sees Ilya Rozanov for exactly what he is, brutal, talented, and masculine. He’s the leadership the Voyagers need, he’s tough on his teammates, on himself, and he doesn’t take shit from anybody. However, he’s too quiet off the ice, and it’s unsettling. He’s everything and nothing they thought he would be.

  13. Ilya hates this, all of this. He doesn’t remember anything and he’s not even certain of what happened to him. All he knows is that no matter what’s happened, he’s Dallas Kent’s latest victim. He’s fucking statistic, a tally in that man’s roster.

    OR

    Dallas Kent meant to roofie and take home a beautiful girl, but instead Ilya Rozanov interferes with his plans. Annoyed at his plans being foiled, Dallas decides that he’ll have to make do with Ilya instead. If only Scott Hunter hadn’t shown up.

  14. [An image of Ilya Rozanov in his full Centaurs hockey gear sitting on the team bench. He's leaning forward on the boards, his arms creating a pillow for his head, as he smiles so widely, all of his teeth are shown and his eyes are closed.]

    @centaurshockey Don't forget, our Captain is taking over our socials this week! We have no idea what he's going to do, but there's a pretty good possibility things will get interesting, and we have our lawyers on standby ❤️

  16. It’s his Person.

    Missed you missed you missed you, he tries to convey with no mouth and no voice and all his heart. He’s reborn the way he died; the name of his Person nestled safe against his tongue.

    “Ilya,” Shane gasps, and his heart beats again.

    Shane Hollander dies the second Ilya Rozanov’s plane goes down. It just takes a while for his body to catch up.

    Thankfully, death isn't permanent — for either of them. Their tangled souls have been given a second chance at life, and they’re going to act like it. Which means never separating again. Ever.

    After all, death can’t part them. Why should hockey?

  17. “This is just crazy,” J.J. said. “Give me that, Pike, I’ve got one he absolutely can’t pass.”

    “Oh, so you’re saying it’s my fault?” Hayden asked.

    “Skill issue.” J.J. paused. “Ok. Pedro Pascal.” His voice was smug. 

    A long silence stretched while Shane Hollander looked at the camera, seemingly deciding whether it was worth it to lie.

    “No!” J.J. said, horrified. 

    “Pass… I—What?”

    “The entire internet wants to fuck this man!”

    “Okay?!” Shane Hollander said, throwing his arms out. “I don’t know what to tell you!”

    “Jesus Christ, okay.” Hayden shuffled behind the camera. “Ilya Rozanov.”

    A flush bloomed across Shane Hollander’s freckled face, intensifying so fast it looked like his face was on fire. 

    “Uhm.” He pressed his lips together before his shoulders dropped in resignation. “Smash.”

    Or: A clip of Shane Hollander playing smash or pass goes viral and Ilya wants to eat him alive.

  20. There really was no way he would have been able to break up with Shane tonight. He is a weak, weak man. He is a weak man who needs to get the fuck out of here before he goes back on Twitter and causes problems, or before he does something else insane like sniffing through Shane’s underwear drawer or running a reverent hand across his yoga mat. All around him is Shane Shane Shane and Shane is not here. Shane is at Montreal General Hospital in unknown condition, possibly alone.

    Ilya is putting his shoes on before he fully realizes that he’s decided to go to the hospital.

     

    Shane Hollander is carted off the ice after getting hit by Cliff Marlow. An exhausted and still-grieving Ilya Rozanov spirals, makes some stupid choices, and accidentally finds himself hanging out with his situationship’s parents.
