1 – 20 of 23 Works in Marriage

  • Marriage ×
  1. Ilya's been taking care of himself for so long, and not always doing a very good job of it. It would be understandable, Ilya thinks, if Shane didn’t really know how to do it yet. Not when they’re only a month into being married and three months into being honest and less than a year since that hotel room in Tampa, where Shane had climbed into his lap and let Ilya cry into his shoulder and held him like no one had held Ilya since he was very small.

  2. 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.

  3. Ilya's left hand, which had been folded onto his lap, drops to the seat of the car. Shane hopes he's interpreting the gesture correctly when he takes Ilya's hand in his own and raises them both up to his heart.

    "Right here," Shane says. "This is where you belong, and it's where you'll always be." And you have nothing to be sorry for, Shane wants to say. I'm the one who should be sorry. Who will spend the rest of my life regretting every single day that I let you feel this way. But it's not time for that conversation yet. It's not time to lay any of that on Ilya. All Ilya needs right now is to know that Shane loves him, and to be taken safely home.

    ***

    Shane brings Ilya home after his suicide attempt.

    what?

    One month before the tuna melt incident, pictures are posted online of Shane and Hayden’s outing to the aquarium.

    Within minutes, the internet is convinced that Shane Hollander has become a father, and people everywhere are mourning the fact that the NHL’s most eligible bachelor is off the market.

    “People everywhere” includes Ilya Rozanov.

  5. Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are solid.

    Married. Stable. Established. The NHL’s favorite “we didn’t see that coming” love story turned domestic success.

    They have a house. A dog that likes Ilya better. A shared calendar that Shane actually uses.

    They’ve learned how to grocery shop without arguing about brands of pasta.

    They are, objectively, fine.

    Which is precisely the problem.

    Somewhere between sponsorship shoots, playoff runs, and arguing over whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher, the fire that once burned hot enough to survive secrecy and rivalry has… softened. Not gone. Not broken. Just familiar.
    Comfortable. Predictable.

    When a league marketing campaign crowns them “Hockey’s Ultimate Love Story” and assigns a documentary crew to follow them around for the season, Shane jokingly tells Ilya:
    “Guess you’re going to have to fall in love with me again on camera.”

    Ilya smirks. “Please. I could make you fall in love with me again in one week.”

    It’s a joke.

    Until it becomes a challenge.

    “What do you imagine retired life to look like?” Shane asks, hours later. “Want to spend lots of time with you. Annoy you. Cuddle you. Fuck you,” he nips at Shane’s shoulder at that last part. “I want to find job. Maybe work more at Irina foundation. Or do something else so I don’t get bored. Will be WAG, then, yes? So come to games but also hang out with other women. And Harris.” Ilya presses a series of kisses to Shane’s neck, soft strands of hair tickling his face. “Make meal for hot husband, wait for him to come home. Rail him over kitchen counter. Or pick him up from practice, fuck him on hood of Lamborghini. Y ellow one.” “Anything else apart from work and sex with your sexy husband?” Ilya considers leaving it at that, but he has also learned that keeping secrets never works. “Kids. One, maybe two,” he says. ___ This is the prequel to Moon, Sun and Stars. It's basically our boys on the way to being girl dads.

  9. “What the fuck are you doing, Hollander?” he demands harshly. “Why are you even here?” He watches as Hollander flinches and his face falls, a mixture of hurt and confusion so potent that Ilya desperately wishes he could shove the words back in his mouth. “Where else would I be, Ilya?” Hollander asks quietly, Ilya’s name like a gut punch every time he hears it drop from Hollander’s lips. “You’re my—” But Ilya cuts him off. He can’t stand Hollander seeing him like this, so vulnerable again, when he already walked away from Ilya once. “I’m not your anything, Hollander. Go back to Rose Landry.” OR Ilya wakes up in 2027, living his happily ever after. But his mind thinks it's 2017 and the last time he remembers seeing Shane Hollander was when he walked out of Ilya's house after eating his tuna melt.

    “We didn’t exchange vows,” Shane mumbles, his head resting on Ilya’s strong chest. “I thought you didn’t want to,” Ilya says, because Shane did, in fact, say he didn’t want to. But these last couple of days, Shane catches himself thinking about what he would have said, if they had told each other their vows. He realizes he wants to know what Ilya would have said.

  13. He couldn’t quite pinpoint it, but something was there under his skin, uncomfortable enough to be known but elusive enough that he couldn’t name it. So, instead of identifying the problem and tailor-making a solution for the morning, Shane was committing the ceiling texture to memory. Again. For the third time this week. --- or, god knows why Shane can't sleep

  14. Shane Hollander forgets his marriage. Ilya Rozanov doesn’t forget how to love him. As Shane recovers from a concussion that fractures his memories, the life they built together resurfaces in quieter ways. Through routine, touch, shared space, and an intimacy that refuses to disappear. Love, it turns out, doesn’t always need memory. Sometimes, it just needs time. -------- tl;dr - Hollanov's Amnesia AU in which Shane's last memory is July 2010, a.k.a the first time they hooked up in Toronto after shooting the commercial. Problem is, it is 2022, and they have been married for almost a year, but Shane cannot remember the past 12 years of his life with Ilya.

  15. Lily Hollander is a picky eater who does NOT like tuna melts. When Ilya tells her the story of the first tuna melt that he made for Shane, she is surprised to hear that her dads were once enemies. But if a sandwich can change the course of her dads' lives, maybe she should give it a try. For Shane and Ilya, the memory of that afternoon inspires old feelings and needs from the two devoted dads. AKA a slice of life fic where Shane and Ilya are happy parents who also make time for horniness after the kids go to sleep.

  16. "Something… happened at lunch." That was surprisingly ominous, even for Ilya. Shane was immediately freaking out. Something was wrong. Very wrong. Shane's mind immediately went to very dark places. Someone got traded. Someone was seriously injured. Someone was dead. He tried to keep his voice even as he said, "Okay." "I don't–" Ilya's face crumpled as he knelt on the floor in front of Shane. "I'm so sorry." Okay. This was an Ilya thing. Oh god. Shane couldn't stop the spiral. One of them was getting traded. Or their sex tape had been leaked. Or he was dying. Or– "I think I have a kid." Or, Ilya had a kid with a one-night stand. Shane handles this a whole lot better than anyone (even himself) expected.

  18. Shane Hollander loves two things: hockey and his infuriatingly clingy husband. When Ilya slams into an unexpected rut on the ice, Shane’s the only one who can get him home before things turn feral. What starts as a very intense, very ill-timed rut turns into late-night guilt, broken pride, and an impossible wish for a family Shane will never be able to carry— until a specialist, an ultrasound, and a tiny heartbeat say otherwise.
