  1. An AU where Shane and Ilya meet in very different circumstances. Ilya’s a generational talent, a star and recognised wherever he goes thanks to his talent on stage and the lucrative magazine and advertising contracts his fame brings him. He lives his life in Boston as best he can but recently someone has taken against him and while the threatening letters were unpleasant they didn’t bother him much. He was more bothered by the knife in his side that stopped him performing for months, but now he’s healed and due on stage in a few hours. He hopes he can still make it because he hadn’t been expecting a stranger with uncertain motives to approach him in a deserted alley. When he finds out exactly who he is his life gets much more complicated. Ilya Rozanov has various problems in his life but right now the most pressing one is the dark haired freckled man who’s crashed into his life.

  2. Ilya wasn’t trying to kill himself that night. Suicide is something that belongs to his mother- he’s just lazy, and he wishes Shane would stop making excuses for him.

    Shane has everything under control. His body is a tool, the one that’s given him both his career and his relationship, and he wishes Ilya would stop prying into the way he maintains it.

    or: Ilya learns a whole lot more about his mother, Shane remembers a whole lot more about his childhood, and they both get diagnosed.

  3. “Hollander, go back to your bench or—”

    And… he just snaps. Throwing away the helmet he wasn’t aware he’s taken off, he barks, his voice booming. “That’s my fucking husband laying on the ice. I have every fucking right to he here. He’s my husband. I make the decisions here. If he…”—he can’t bring himself to complete the sentence, his eyes welling up with unshed tears—“If anything happens to him, all of you, every single fucking one of you, will answer to me. And rest assured, if you fuck up because you are too busy yelling at me to get him the help need needs, I will not be as gracious as I am being right now.”

    The uproar in the arena is deafening as the ref finally skates out of his way, but Shane is by Ilya’s side now, his hand clutching his husband's. “I am here, baby,” he repeats over and over again. First in English, then in Russian. “You are okay. You are going to be okay, my love.”

    (Secret) Married life has been very generous to Shane and Ilya following a drunken night in 2015. Until Ilya collapses on ice, that is.

  4. Shane Hollander is in a slump. As the captain of arguably the most dominant team in the NHL, he couldn’t afford to have off days, but lately, he just couldn’t seem to pull himself out of it. The pressure was finally starting to catch up. So, when his friend stupidly suggests that he needed to get laid, he knew realistically he just didn't have the time...so he goes onto a porn site instead.

    Or,

    Shane Hollander can't relax, Ilya Rozanov, without knowing, helps him out.

  5. 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.

  7. He stopped three feet short of Theriault, skipping any kind of greeting. "You're fired."

    Theriault blinked, his mouth dropping open, but before he could muster a single word, Marius raised his right arm. He pointed an index finger across the blue line painted on the carpet, zeroing in on two specific stalls near the back bench.

    "Cameau. Drapeau. You two are traded. Get your personal stuff out of your lockers and leave the team gear right there."

  9. Even after getting married, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are still a secret. No one, aside from their most trusted people, knows about their relationship.

    Sick of hiding, they make a plan to soft launch their relationship for the world to lose its mind about it.

    If that goes as smoothly as they plan it, is for their future selves to find out.

  10. “Good, well then that brings me to the real topic of conversation.” Another sigh from Coach Wiebe, “As I’m sure you’ve already guessed, those highlighted names have been offered rookie contracts and they’ve each expressed interest in living with a vet for their first year.”

    Ilya felt his heart fall into his stomach, afraid of the next words to come out of his Coach’s mouth.

    “We asked the rookies who they’d like to live with and, well, LaPointe wanted to board with you, Chouinard. And Young with you, Bood,” Wiebe then turned to Ilya who had frozen on the spot, “And Roz, Haas wants to live with you.”

    Bood and Chouinard chuckled as they watched Ilya’s eyes widen in horror.

     

    OR

     

    Luca Haas was drafted 2nd overall by the Ottawa Centaurs in 2018. Two years later, he anxiously moved halfway across the world to play his rookie season with the team. He requested to live with Ilya Rozanov and they slowly became family.

  11. Box office manager Gabriella Marchaud returns from vacation to find her work best friend Ilya Rozanov spiraling into a playoff-induced depression.

    To pull him back from the brink, she devises a ridiculous plan: lure him back to Ottawa for a night of glitter, drunken chaos, and the transformative power of Eurovision.

    But she can't do it alone. She needs a team of hockey players willing to learn the sacred art of Europe's greatest cultural event—through 67 pages of history, two semi finals of training, and the kind of ridiculous joy that might just save Ilya from himself.

    Or

    Gabriella recruits the Centaurs into watching Eurovision so she can save Ilya from playoff depression.

  14. Shane Hollander loves his future husband. Sure, his future husband is oblivious sometimes, but he means well, and he always listens.

    Ilya Rozanov thinks his future husband doesn’t understand the dark side of hockey. He’s about to learn differently.

    The result: two decisions nobody who even slightly follows the NHL expected their two former rival stars to make.

  16. “You are braver than me, dude. You could not pay me to call some of my exes.”

    Ilya shrugged. Truthfully, it was a stretch to call anybody on the list an ex. The only person he had been an official, labelled boyfriend to was Rob, and he wasn’t about to call Rob to ask where things went wrong.

    “Wait, how are you going to talk to that one guy if you don't even know his name?” Cliff asked.

    Fuck. Ilya should have taken his time to think of someone easier to put on the heartbreak list.

    “Not sure. I will work on it,” Ilya scowled.  

    ━━━━━━━━

    When Ilya’s boyfriend Rob dumps him, he decides to reach out to his top five heartbreaks to figure out why he is so easy to leave.

    Some people on the top five list are friends, some he hasn't spoken to in years. One man on the list proves hard to find, a one-night stand with beautiful freckles whose name Ilya never learned.

    High Fidelity-ish AU. Ilya owns a record shop and figures his shit out post-breakup as he finds the person he's meant to fall in love with.

  17. For the most part, Ilya didn’t do cute nicknames for his contacts – he found it tended to confuse him, when someone called. So most people were just their names or their relationships to him – Misha Agent and Carlos Physio. Papa for his father and Dickhead Brother for Alexei and Sveta for Svetlana. Simple. Ilya liked it simple.

    It hadn’t really mattered, he thought, until Cliff Marleau had mentioned it as they prepared to board a plane home from Montreal.

    “Dude,” Marly said. “You’ve been texting this chick for fucking years and she’s just Jane in your phone? Kind of cold.”

    --

    Ilya's contact name for Shane changes a bit, over the years.

  18. Hazy: Okay, I just talked with Harris.

    Hazy: Ugly pants exchange for the next away game is a go.

    Shane: Didn't we just do this?

    Shane: Are we really going to subject ourselves to this again?

    Bood: Those were shirts, Hollander. 👕

    Bood: These are pants. 👖

    Bood: See the difference?

    Shane: There is not enough difference in the world to make me want to do this again.
