Take My Hand (There's a World I Need to Know) by itsthehopethatkillsyou
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
2026-10-10
Shane and Ilya have done everything right, with years of waiting, planning, and hoping. After too many almosts and not-quites, they go to one more adoption event with no expectations. But one quiet conversation—and one perfect baby—turn “maybe” into something a lot more dangerous: hope. And hope, it turns out, has a way of asking for more than they expected. (AKA: hurt/comfort, so much yearning, accidental family, angst with a payoff, and yes—a hard-won happy ending)

The Things We Can Change by Anonymous
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
2026-10-06
This is a love letter to the all the millenials like me who played it too careful and forgot to enjoy our youth. Shane and Ilya, enjoy it for me, do good. Fuck it good, fuck it right. Life is too short to live it scared.
The arena is too loud.
That’s the first thing Shane notices; not the ice, not the lights, not the jersey on his shoulders that suddenly feels wrong in a way he can’t articulate. The sound hits him like pressure, like something physical, a wall of noise that vibrates in his chest.
He’s already bent over for the faceoff when it hits him- skates set, stick down, weight forward. His body is exactly where it’s supposed to be even if his brain is still skidding uselessly, trying to catch traction.
There’s only a split second before the puck drops.
It stretches.
He lifts his eyes.
Ilya.
Young. So fucking young. Is he dreaming? Not worn by years of hockey, travel, interviews and losses and victories that stack so high they blur together. He’s young again; sharp boned, bright eyed, unable to grow a beard to save his life. Bears black and gold instead of Centaurs red. 'If I look down am I going to be pantsless too?' He thought absently, no way this was real... right?- Part 1 of TTWCH

The Centaurs Rookies ask about Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov's coming out plans, only to find out that said plans are very, very bad.
Upon pointing out the flaws in the plans, Shane and Ilya get defensive; insisting that they don't need help from "a bunch of stupid boys".
Taking this personally, the Rookies then come up with a plan to fix their coming out plans by exposing them to the reality of what the internet is saying about them.

Heat spread across Ilya's face. His mouth fell open slightly. He let out a short, stuttered laugh of disbelief. This couldn't- he was straight, he wasn't-
“Finally got you at your own game.” Shane's smirk widened to a smile, his hand clapping down on Ilya's shoulder to squeeze it slightly. For once in his life, Ilya was unable to find his voice.
“Damn.” Shane laughed, jostling him a bit. “If I had known this was all it took to get you to shut the fuck up, I would have started flirting back years ago.”
----
When old college friends Ilya and Shane show up to their mutual best friend's wedding, they are ready to fulfill their duties as bridesmen. Even after years of not seeing each other, they fall right back into their usual banter.
Ilya loves to flirt with Shane. Shane loves to tell him to fuck off. It's a running bit. Nothing more than a joke between two friends; because Shane is gay and Ilya is straight and it doesn't actually mean anything…until Shane finally decides to flirt back, and Ilya's world suddenly tilts on its axis.

I'd Be Man Enough (In A Softer Life) by Anonymous
Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types
2026-09-19
Cliff Marleau knows how he's perceived.
Publicly, he's Cliff Marleau, #7, Captain of the Boston Raiders. On ice, he's imposing. Never dirty, but aggressive. Off the ice, he's your typical hockey himbo: big, loud, funny, maybe not the brightest.
Privately, to his teammates and friends, his reputation is a bit more rounded, more filled out. A good friend, a loving son. Serious when he needs to be. Reliable, trustworthy.
But he knows, he knows, the picture his reputation paints.
And he knows what it leaves out.

Shane’s ex-girlfriends keep coming out as queer. He’s trying to be supportive, he really is, okay? Listen, he’s an ally! But it’s sort of becoming a problem. For pretty obvious reasons, because people are definitely starting to notice—Ilya most of all.
(AKA, I give Shane the most absurd queer community and convoluted coming-of-age journey of all time and it still somehow gradually makes things better in the long run.)

"He saw the corners of Ilya's lips curve up ever so slightly in that infuriating, tiny hint of a smile. “Goodbye, Shane Hollander.”
Shane could only ogle as Ilya walked away. Fuck. His ass was fat. This was so bad.
Shane Hollander, star athlete, D1 hockey team captain, campus heartthrob, was being completely undone by a brooding Slavic art major that he would probably crawl on his fucking knees and bark for."

Shane is ready for another boring semester where he has to pretend like he cares about anything other than hockey. Until he sits down next to a mysterious Russian art student who also happens to be the hottest guy Shane has ever seen.

It had been announced two weeks ago – in preparation for a hockey-romcom the lead actors asked to join training to get some practice and experience on the ice. Everybody had been incredibly tight-lipped about it all, about which actors would show up at the rink. It still wasn’t a surprise and had been expected by them all that Rose Landry would be one of them. After all, why the fuck else would they fly out to Ottawa of all places? It would have made sense if this was a queer movie, then yeah, there’s no place like Ottawa. At least in the hockey world. But they were told as much that it wasn’t, so the only other explanation was Rose wanting to spend some time with Shane. And the rest of them maybe as well.
“Holy shit,” Hazy gasped, “is that Adrian Dela Cruz?”
Being checked against the boards without his gear on couldn’t be much more painful than the stab in his chest at hearing that. Troy whipped around, towards the tunnel. And right there, chatting with Coach Wiebe, was Adrian.
