  1. “Loving you - being loved by you - has made me feel brave,” Shane says, like it isn’t the most important thing anyone has ever said to Ilya. He feels like he is floating. Ilya’s chest is warm and fuzzy, and he is so overcome with affection and happiness, that he doesn’t know what to do with himself. He doesn’t think there’s enough room in his chest for all the love that he is feeling right now - for his husband, for the life they have built together, for the future they have fought for.

  3. “Ilya?”

    Ilya is splayed out on the floor, legs turned one way, and his body turned in the complete opposite direction. Zara’s body is perched over the edge of the bed, hands clutching the mattress as her tear-filled eyes stare down at her Papa,

    Ilya’s right hand massages the side of his head as he slowly turns and blinks at Shane standing in the doorway.

    “‘ello moya lyubov.”

    “What happened?”

    “Is it not obvious? I fell off the bed.”

     

    OR:

    Shane is woken up by a loud thud and fears their daughter has fallen off her new toddler bed. It turns out it was actually Ilya.

  5. Dykstra comes over and claps Luca on his other shoulder. “No need to feel weird. Tiger stripes, yeah?”

    “Tiger stripes?” Roz repeats.

    Dykstra nods. “Yeah, learned that from my wife when she was pregnant with Suzie. You know, because they show she survived the battle of being pregnant and all that.”

    Or: The Centaurs have been debating for a while whether the great playboy Ilya Rozanov moved to Ottawa for love. After a locker room conversation about tiger stripes, Wyatt is pretty sure Roz has his own tiger stripes woman. Or, well, maybe rather a tiger stripes person.

  6. @SophiaSkatesBoston:

    I bought a FanMail from Ilya Rozanov for a laugh, thinking it must be an admin error to even have him listed but...

    [Video clip begins]

    Ilya Rozanov stands against a bare white wall, wearing athletic shorts and a tank top.

    “Sophia,” he says, faux serious, “thank you for requesting a birthday video. As you can see, I am taking this all very seriously. I have good neutral background, very plain, very boring. Very professional. Does not contain anything that would make the commissioner very angry. Is just a blank wall, I have checked. Because I consider the set up of my shots. I would hate to send happy birthday video with very big, very distracting secret in the background. Would be very unprofessional, very...”

    @CentaursCentral:

    Oh my God, he did not! I laughed so hard at this I think I pulled something.

    @NHL_OffTheRink:

    If you do one thing on hockey twitter today, let it be watching this video.

  7. For the first time in nineteen years, a sudden, blinding flash of color flooded Ilya’s world.

    It was as if a dormant switch inside him had been violently flipped on. His Alpha instincts, usually as dormant and indifferent as the rest of him, surged forward with a fierce, possessive roar that made his blood run hot. The dull gray reality he had inhabited his entire life vanished, replaced by a single, absolute, unyielding mandate:

    That Omega is mine.

    Ilya didn’t know his name. He didn’t know his story, or his background. But as his blue eyes locked onto the stunning stranger, watching the way his warm brown eyes crinkled with a soft, gentle laugh, Ilya knew with absolute certainty that he would stop at nothing until that Omega belonged to him.

  8. “This might have been a bad idea.”
    “You think so?”
    “Hollander’s pissed.” Marlow said, stating the obvious.
    “No he’s not.” Ilya answered easily. “He’s just nervous.”
    “About what?”

    “About asking if he can watch you fuck me.”

     

    -OR-

    Ilya and Marlow have been hooking up for years - though it was never personal (until it was too late).

  9. “Um,” Shane sighs. “It’s a curse, I guess.”
    Icy dread and hot anger coalesce into a hard ball in Ilya’s chest. “What curse?”
    Shane tosses his head, runs a hand through his hair. He looks out the window, because whatever is going on with him is clearly too agonizing to experience while looking directly at Ilya’s face. He crosses his arms over his chest, lurches a single step towards Ilya like he’s attached to a string pulled taut.
    “Remember rookie season,” Shane says, apropos of nothing.
    Ilya cuts a sharp, humorless grin. “Most of it.”
    “They put you on Curse Protocol. You said it was a hazing thing. And I told you, do you remember, that I’d heard of guys—”
    “Getting their dicks cursed off,” Ilya says.
    “Yeah,” Shane says, eyes refusing to settle. He looks fucking hunted, like he expects to be brutally struck down in the very near future. “Well.”

    Shane Hollander is not the first hockey player to be the victim of a nasty playoff curse, but this one is a little different. Ilya rises to the occasion in a couple of ways.

  11. Shane: Mom.

    Shane: Are you aware that dad has unfettered internet access and is posting how to videos on YouTube calling himself Daddy David?

    Mom: Honey, it's fine. It's not that big of a deal.

    Shane: That might be the most insane thing you've ever said.

    Shane: And I have heard you threaten multiple coaches of mine with bodily harm.

  12. Despite the *obvious* interest on both their parts (standing naked under a shower makes it hard to hide certain feelings) Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov don’t hook up after the CCM shoot. A few years later, when they’re both Captains of their respective teams, Ilya comes out as bisexual. Shane immediately makes his move to lock down the boy he’s had a crush on all this time, before it’s too late. After a surprise at a post-game press conference and a challenge from the Raiders, Shane has to convince Ilya he is serious about having a real relationship in front of professional hockey and the entire internet. Will it work? There’s only one way to find out!

  13. The right of passage of being a 'big girl' to Sofia was getting her first bicycle — with training wheels of course. It was for her third birthday, Ilya insisted after winning the cup that she deserved something very special so of course he got her what she had been begging for because Jade, Amber, and Serenity had a princess bike she wanted one too naturally. Or the one where Sofia gets a helmet for her bike.

  14. “Has your flu gone away?” Troy draws back up, brushing Harris’s bangs gently to the side. His skin is warm, but not hot, and it doesn’t feel like he has a fever from what Troy can tell, but he wants to make sure. “Mmm, well, it turns out it wasn’t the flu.” “No? What was it?” A smile splits across Harris’s face as he reaches into the pocket of his hoodie, drawing out a thin, white object, passing it to Troy. “See for yourself.”

  17. Five times Ilya Rozanov does something stupid to get himself transferred out of Boston. And the one time the team offers a trade of their own.

    OR

    When Shane Hollander is outed three years into his MLH career and unceremoniously dumped by his team, Ilya Rozanov sees an opportunity. Hoping the crush he’s been harbouring since he was seventeen might not be completely unrequited, he sets off an insane plan to get himself too transferred to the only team in MLH desperate enough to sign players with similar scandal under their belts. The Ottawa Centaurs.

  18. Svetlana was going to love Shane. She could tell immediately. She had never in her life believed in love at first sight, but she considered herself a good judge of character, and she had strong opinions on basically everything. Very rarely was her first impression wrong, and her first impression of Shane Hollander told her that he was going to be very, very important to her in the not-so-distant future.

    --

    Svetlana learns that Jane is Shane Hollander at the start of the 2017-2018 hockey season. She immediately decides that she and Shane are going to be friends. After all, Ilya is her best friend, and Shane is love of her best friend's life; it just makes sense to be his friend, too. She's pretty sure that's how it works.

    Over the following years, she gets a few opportunities to solidify that friendship, and help both Shane and Ilya feel a little less lonely.

    Or: The events of the Long Game, with Show!Svetlana meddling just a little.

  19. The man doesn’t look phased. On the contrary, he’s acting like it’s completely normal to talk about sex with a stranger.

    “Well, my wife wants me to…” David hesitates, but what damage could it do? Tomorrow, he’ll be on a plane back to Ottawa and he’ll never see this man again. “She wants me to try being more dominant.”

    The Russian grins. “Oh, you have met the right person.”

    Or: In 2014, David and Ilya become friends and start swapping sex advice. It's too bad they don't recognize each other.

  20. Scott knew fuck all about figure skating, but he knew this: Kip Grady flew across the ice. No one on the Admirals would beat him in a puck race. He turned sideways, clearly staging for a move, and then he jumped, revolving weightlessly through the air, before landing on a single silver blade. Scott was close enough to hear the scraping sound of it before the breathless gasp of the audience resolved into cheering. Beside Scott, Carter called out, “Woo, yeah!”
