  1. Shane Hollander is a former professional cyclist who now owns a bike shop in Colorado. Ilya Rozanov, the tattoo artist who owns the shop next door, thinks boy scout Shane Hollander should take a ride on his motorcycle instead. But what starts out as a casual fling can't stay that way for long--not once Shane and Ilya discover the depths of their chemistry (and Ilya the many benefits of little spandex shorts). Both of them have been hurt before, and the only way to move forward is to get over their pasts. It's a hill climb in both directions, but if Shane Hollander can do anything, it's push himself to endure the burn when he knows the ride home will be that much more satisfying.

  4. Most Europeans who have good magic for hockey stay in Europe. There are a few leagues that don't use magic over there, but most of them do. Russia is famous for it, and famously does shit in the international leagues that don't allow it, and phenomenally in the international leagues that allow it.

    Rozanov's powers don't just guarantee him the win. The last Russian with solid Hockey powers who joined the MLH was Varkov, and while he never admitted why he made the switch, it seems obvious to Shane. He still doesn't understand why Rozanov would.

  7. He'd made it halfway through writing the first note before it felt suddenly far too pathetic. Was this seriously the legacy he wanted to leave behind? No one would talk about any of his wins if he killed himself now. He would be the failed Russian team captain of the 2014 Olympics who couldn't handle the job and offed himself about it. His father would probably follow him in death just to yell at him for embarrassing the family, and Russia, and everyone who had ever rooted for him.

    And when he had been made captain in Boston, he had promised his Bears he would get them a cup. He couldn't just leave without doing that. Didn't want to leave and let people think he was a liar, or that he just gave up when things got hard, lazy, useless, stupid boy.

    He tore up the note he'd begun, and began his second plan instead.

    "Maybe," Irina said, "I will ask. Maybe, Shane and Ilyushenka would like to go on ice together? Hockey maybe, or only skating?"

    "Shane would certainly prefer to play hockey," Yuna said, as Shane stepped into the room, his eyes going suddenly bright when she glanced at him as the word hockey left her mouth. Sometimes she thought it was like having a little puppy hearing the word walk.

    "Hockey?" Shane asked, still standing in the doorway, his whole body vibrating a little, "I can have hockey?"

    The Hollanders go on a trip to Russia in 1996 to attend a wedding, and Shane makes a friend. In 2008, he meets his friend again. Part of him knows it's his friend, sadly, that part is not his brain.

  9. Ilya is the youngest-ever captain of the Boston Raiders at 22 years old, and is pretty sure he is straight. Shane was injured before he could go pro, and became a dancer instead. Now, he’s out, and the most in-demand male pole dancer in Montreal. Then, on a random Friday night, Ilya and the Raiders walk into his club. And now Ilya can’t stop thinking about him. OR - What if Shane was Ilya’s bi awakening, and it began at a club where Shane was performing? And what happens when this Shane Hollander meets this Ilya Rozanov? (Don’t worry, Shane still plays hockey for fun in this, because I’ll be damned if Shane isn’t still a bitchy jock who is really good at hockey in my AU.)

  10. 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.

    Ilya starts taking notes.

    He’s not the only one.

  13. “Hello? What is going on? Did you mean to call me?” Ilya asked nervously, glancing around at his team to make sure they weren’t focused on him, confirming that most of them were either undressing and checking their own phones or teasing St. Simone about the new tattoo he had gotten the other day.

    “I—I think—” Shane stuttered, and Ilya frowned when he heard another scream from Shane’s end of the line that didn’t sound like a gleeful hockey celebration. Was there something beeping loudly, too?

    “I think the plane is crashing.”

    And Ilya’s world came crumbling down.

    -

    After the tuna melt incident, Shane calls Ilya from a plane that is going down.

  15. Shane's first year on the Centaurs as he navigates what it means to be gay and married in public with help from the queer men and straight women who make up the Centaurs WAGs.

    Shane: I’ve gotten so caught up in the idea of not being the gay hockey player and not defined by my relationship with Ilya that now people think Ilya and I are breaking up
    Shane: Harris said it’s kind of like I’m going back in the closet and he’s right
    Shane: but I have no idea how to be in a relationship in public
    Caitlin: You were in a public relationship with Rose Landry
    Selena: yeah, you two were everywhere
    Shane: I was so relieved to be straight I wasn’t paying attention to any of that!

  16. Shane didn’t remember his first time skating, but he remembered when hockey became a career, when he became the vessel for his parents’ dreams, when his hockey ability came second to where his ancestors were born or who he loved, when he became a brand. Somewhere in these memories, though he couldn’t say exactly where, he learned to hide himself.

    And then, behind an arena in Regina, he met Ilya Rozanov, who managed to see him anyway. The hours they spent together each year became the only time Shane could breathe, until being apart felt like suffocating. But Shane had entered the hockey world with two strikes against him, and he couldn’t let Ilya become his third.

  17. All the world's a stage and Scott has unwittingly been cast as an ignorant Cyrano. If he knew about it, he'd be pissed as hell. Instead, he inexorably falls in love with a man he can't have while unwittingly helping a man he'll eventually call his best friend woo him.

    But one man in his time plays many parts. Who knows how this strange eventful history ends?

  18. Outside, bugs swarm around the porch light. A half-moon hangs over the dark swath of lake, spider-spun white daubed across the oil-spill surface. That perfect day on the water was less than a week ago. The scabs on Ilya’s ankle haven’t even healed. He knew the rest of their lives would be an uphill battle; he just hoped they could lie in the grass for a little longer.

    There’s a hitch in Shane’s breath, a catch that brings Ilya’s attention back to him. He’s seen the ice tilt, analyzed the offense, and realization freezes across his face.

    The whistle blows. Ilya’s been caught.

    “You don’t want to figure this out,” Shane says finally. “You want him to billet with you.”

    Last season, Ilya broke his jaw. Next season, he'll break from Boston for Ottawa and a shot at making an impossible relationship work. This season, he breaks every promise he’s ever made.

    “Jesus Christ,” Ollie whispers. “I’m going to pass out. Shane—look, she’s wearing a fur coat. A fur coat, Shane—”

    Shane nods, every bit as shaky. The fox is, in fact, wearing a little capelet of real fur on top of her own already ridiculous red pelt: dark and glossy, sable probably, tied under her chest with a silk ribbon and fastened at the breastbone with a small gold clasp.

    Or

    Nobody is prepared for the way Ilya and Vasilisa Rozanov intend to play professional hockey, least of all Shane and Oliver Hollander.

    Huh.
