  2. Ilya’s obviously aware that there’s something up with Shane, okay? No one who spent their formative years (as well as their twenties and thirties) obsessively watching Shane Hollander Best Goal YouTube clips could glimpse what was going on with the Metros last season and think that nothing had changed. He asked and asked over the summer months, and Shane denied and denied and denied to the point where Ilya had to wonder if Shane knew there was something up with himself. But that was silly. Of course Shane knew.

    Ilya likes to think he’s the Shane Hollander whisperer. He knows about Shane’s dormant exhibitionism kink and how to trigger it without triggering what neither of them like to call an anxiety attack. He knows the difference between Shane's hungry stomach grumbles and impending-stomach-ache stomach grumbles. There’s probably not a freckle on Shane’s body Ilya hasn’t licked before, if he’s being honest. That’s not really impressive or a key to revealing Shane’s psyche or anything, but it’s probably worth mentioning.

    On Shane Hollander's transfer to the Ottawa Centaurs, and everything he left behind.

  3. “Not here?” Shane scoffed, shrugging off Bood’s hands as if he were a pesky fly instead of a six foot tall man trying to defend his captain. “Are you fucking kidding me? You lost the right to have any say in where we do this when you fucking ignore me for the last three weeks. You won’t answer my calls or my texts, you won’t answer the fucking door when I come over. You won’t look at me on the fucking ice, and…. Ilya, look at me.” Ilya stared determinedly at the floor. “Goddamnit, Ilya, look at me!” Nothing.

    “ILYA GRIGORYEVICH ROZANOV, you look at me right now or I swear to god, I will walk out of here and I will never speak to you again!” Shane bellowed at the man, shocking him into finally looking up at him.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    OR: Ilya did not get better at communication. Remember how he ghosted Shane for six months when he was overwhelmed? Yep, he's still pulling that shit. Only Shane isn't putting up with that anymore.

  4. Yuna Hollander is the greatest and most terrifying hockey witch in the world. In 2008, a young Russian hockey player travels with his team to have her predict his future. He doesn't know she has a son his age. He's about to find out a lot more than he ever expected.

    Or, what if Heated Rivalry was a soulmate AU with witchcraft, curses, and elemental powers?

  5. After a very illuminating conversation with Cliff Marleau on a night out, Carter Vaughn decides the rivalry is getting rather ridiculous. The tension between Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov is clearly at an all-time high.

    Which is why he makes a plan for the All Stars Game in 2017, recruiting a group of hockey players to help him.

    But in one thing Carter is very clear. Those two need to fuck it out.

  6. Shane has his cornerstones of control: Ilya, food, and hockey.

    He can keep them all discrete and harmonious - a well-oiled machine.

    Hockey belongs on the ice. Shane and Ilya belong at the cottage. Hayden belongs at a distance where Shane doesn't have to explain himself.

    Except Hayden really should know about Ilya, shouldn't he? And surely telling him can't blow Shane's life up too much. Ilya doesn't think so, but Ilya routinely asserts that his skates are "too American and trying to humble him", so maybe Ilya's opinions aren't always to be entirely trusted.

    OR: Hayden Pike loves Shane a lot. Enough to tolerate the Russian shitbag that is Ilya Rozanov? Well...

  7. [Anya dances on her back legs, expression excited as Shane grabs his phone and they walk out the door. The video cuts to footage of Shane's legs running with Anya beside him, and then to the two of them sitting on the front steps of a large house. Shane's face and chest are sweaty, and he wipes at the hair on his forehead as he takes a long drink of water.]

    Shane: Hi, um, I'm Shane Hollander, which you probably already know if you're seeing this, but I've been asked to do this day in the life thing? I don't really know what I'm doing, and I'm honestly kind of annoyed I have to keep setting my phone up and walking into rooms like I haven't already been there, but you know. Anything for the team, right?

    [He looks at Anya, and she barks before licking at the sweat on his face. Shane halfheartedly tries to push her off, but laughs at her antics before he speaks again.]

    Shane: So, anyway. Come spend the day with me and my husband if you want.

  8. After years of being with Shane, Ilya thought that he knew the ins and outs of their relationship as well as the back of his hand. That all went out the window for Ilya after they played a game of hide and seek with their son. Maybe Ilya wasn’t entirely as knowledgable about his sexual preferences as once thought. Maybe, he liked to be tossed around a little too. OR: 4 times Ilya gets a sexual awakening from Shane + the 1 time Shane decides to act upon it for Ilya. Inspired by a very specific scene near the end of The Long Game (iykyk, no spoilers).

  10. ‘What is the song about, uncle George?’

    Shane listens, transfixed, as Rozanov on the other side of the speaker explains to the yawning twins that the song he was singing was his mother’s favourite. He deflects when they ask what the song is about and if they can learn it. There is something in the way he says it that tugs at Shane’s heart.

    ‘I can maybe teach you something else, da? Is like a poem, something I learned when I was small like you?’ he offers another suggestion and the girls sound delighted. Shane doesn’t have the heart to complain that they should be sleeping, not learning poems and that it’s long past midnight already.

    OR

    When a night destined to be a hookup turns to an unexpected babysitting emergency, Shane gets to know his rival in ways he wasn’t really ready for. So does Ilya.

  11. A detailed look at Shane and Ilya's perspectives of seeing each other for the first time, as well as Ilya's perspective of their first interaction in the classroom. Spoilers: they're utterly enamoured by one another but are too afraid to admit it. This is a one-shot based on my original it's always been you. I highly recommend reading it first (at least up until the second chapter) to understand the context of this work.

  14. Despite his size, Misha has always been known to be gentle. But, the moment you mess with his sisters, he'll show you how gentle of a giant he is. OR: Shane and Ilya's eldest son is overly protective of his sisters. (This is a one-shot spinoff of my original it's always been you. It may be read as a standalone but will be much better understood if the complete series is read first.) 4 Years Old Just as Shane and Ilya had predicted, Misha turned out to be a large toddler. It wasn’t surprising considering both of his dads were tall. He stood nearly a head taller than his peers at daycare and was extremely fast on his long legs when he wanted to. Despite this, it seemed that Misha didn’t like to take up very much space. His daycare teachers always remarked that Misha liked to keep to himself, preferring to do activities by himself over group activities. This wasn’t a huge surprise to either of them as Misha was a little man of few words, but once he started talking, there was no stopping him. He would have these bursts of energy where his mouth was powered by a motor and he would go on and on. Shane lived for these moments. Sitting on the couch together, Shane sank deeper into the cushions as Misha sprawled out beside him. Even though he had just woken up minutes earlier, Misha traced shapes along Shane’s large stomach and kicked his legs as he expressed his excitement: “hello baby. Is me, your big brother. I so excited for you to come. Daddy says will be long time before I meet you. Can you please come soon?” “Hopefully not too soon, Malyshka,” Shane huffed out a laugh. He still had one more month to go before baby girl was coming. “Okay, not too soon, baby. But still soon. Papa and Daddy say I was big baby so it was ouchie for Daddy when I camed out. Please don’t make Daddy ouchie. He is very good daddy so I don’ want him to hurt.” Shane’s heart soared as he listened to his baby talk. He really did try his best to take care of Misha to the best of his ability, so it was beyond nice to hear that he was doing okay. Gently, Shane ran his hands through Misha’s soft, dark chestnut curls. “I show you how good Daddy and Papa are. I show you all of my toys and books. We read together at night for story time. Maybe I take you to school and show you to everyone in my class for show and tell. They will be so-uhh Daddy what do I say for when people want what I has?” Shane pressed his lips together to not show how overly emotional he was getting. “I think the best word to use here is ‘jealous.’” “Yeah, jealous. Everyone in my class will be so jealous that I has baby sister. I no share you with them, but I share everything I has with you, baby.” “That’s so nice of you, Misha.” Shane stopped trying to hide his emotions so tears ran down his face. There was no point in trying anyways. He was heavily pregnant and his baby already loved his sister so much. Suddenly, Misha crawled to his feet and held both sides of Shane’s face with his warm little hands. “Don’t cry, Daddy. I sorry. I didn’t want to make you cry.” “It’s okay, Daddy is not sad. These are happy tears.” Misha immediately peppered Shane’s face with several kisses just as he’d seen his papa do multiple times. He left little splotches of his saliva over Shane’s face but Shane didn’t mind it at all. His baby boy already knew so much about love and kindness at such a young age that he didn’t know what to do with himself. “Uh-oh, someone is trying to steal Daddy away from me,” Ilya’s groggy voice came from behind them. Ilya came into the living room only wearing his boxers, leaving his body out on display for Shane. It wasn’t fair to Shane that his fiancé looked like a grecian statue even straight out of bed. Because they had a toddler and a baby on the way, Shane couldn’t do half of the things he wanted to do with Ilya anymore, but it was a bitter price that he was more than willing to pay. “Daddy crying so I make him happy,” Misha replied, still holding onto Shane’s face. “Happy tears, Ilya,” Shane immediately supplemented. “Our malyshka is just being way too sweet.” Just as Ilya tried to pick Misha up to give him his morning hug, Misha let out a small snarl. “I wanna stay with Daddy. I have to stay with him and sis.” “Why is that?” Ilya laughed, surprised at his son’s actions. “I protect,” Misha said with the most determined face that Shane had ever seen him make. “Protect us from what, Malyshka?” Shane asked. “Everything.” “Okay then. You protect your daddy and sister while I go start making breakfast.” Shane sat on the sofa for several more minutes, listening to Misha’s fantasies of being a big brother. He was utterly fixated on protecting his sister until Misha decided that Papa’s eggs and bacon sounded more important. ~~~ Marina Yuna Hollander-Rozanov came into the world at thirty-five weeks, far earlier than anyone could have predicted. According to Dr. Patel, sometimes babies naturally came early and it seemed like Shane didn’t have any conditions that could have caused it. Born at five pounds and five ounces, Mari was immediately admitted into the NICU so that she could be treated for her respiratory issues and jaundice. If Shane and Ilya weren’t already broken hearted enough, the moment they saw Misha’s crumple up upon seeing their hospital room void of their sister sealed the deal for them. Ilya had never seen his son make such a sorrowful face before. Even when Misha’s favourite

  15. A fiery plane crash claims Ilya Rozanov’s life in January. By April, Shane Hollander is dead of a broken heart. The truth dies with them.

    Yuna Hollander will do anything to get her son back, including hiring a shady shaman to resurrect him. There’s just one complication — Shane isn’t coming back alone.

    Now there are codependent (not)zombies in her house wearing Ilya and Shane’s faces. When they inexplicably act more like a married couple than the bitter rivals she expected, Yuna is convinced that they came back wrong.

    It’s easier than admitting she never understood them from the start.

  17. [Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander sit together in a sterile interrogation room. There’s a height chart on the wall behind them, and a harsh light hangs overhead. Next to them on the table is a polygraph machine.]

    Producer: Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander. 

    Shane: Yes.

    Ilya: Yes, those are our names. See how truthful I’m already being?

    Shane: You’re not even hooked up to anything yet. 

    Ilya: I’m just establishing how honest I am before we start. 

    Producer: Well, that’s good because you’re both here to take a lie detector test. The way this works is that one of you will be hooked up to the machine while the other asks questions, and then you’ll switch. Judd [the camera switches to show a man with glasses and stark white hair sitting at the polygraph machine] will be reading your results in real time. Shane, you’ll go first.

    Shane: Goody.

  18. “Right,” he responded, “Shane. It’s – my name is Shane.” “Shane,” Ilya’s mouth curled into a smile. “It is very nice to meet you,” his eyes tracked down to the label sewn on his front jacket, S. Hollander. “Shane Hollander, paramedic.” _________________ or: Ilya is the Ottawa Centaur's star player. Shane Hollander is a paramedic. What starts as one hour together becomes years of chasing, longing and - despite their best efforts otherwise - falling in love.

  20. “Because you want to ride my bike. You stare at it with those pretty Bambi eyes. I know those looks, and those looks cause trouble.”

    “What if I like trouble?” Shane asked innocently, their breaths mixing together. He could see the sparkles in Ilya’s eyes. In this moment, Shane had officially voiced his decision, there was no turning back now. From this gang, from Ilya.

    “You don’t.” Ilya answered for him. But then they were crashing together.

    -

    Or where Ilya Rozanov is the leader of a ruthless motorcycle gang called the Centaurs. Shane is the love of his life who sits on the back of his bike.
