  1. After the tuna meltdown, Shane's plan to win Ilya back in Tampa is a spectacular failure. The cottage never happens.
    So what's left? Rolex still want him at Wimbledon, so why not spend summer in Europe?

    Except...The princess turns out to be a Swedish prince. Very charming, very hot, and very gay. And very much into Shane.

    When the photos hit the internet, Ilya is going to have some feelings about that. And way more than Rose Landry to worry about.

    Or: Ilya Rozanov is about to find out what happens when you tell Shane Hollander you're nothing to each other and then have to watch him move on.

  2. “Mom?” His mother moved the tea and plate of cookies closer to him, but Shane didn’t let himself get distracted. “I think I’ve had another memory lapse. Why wasn't Ilya in the play-off games? Did something happen?”

    Why does she have such a weird look on her face?

    At first, he only wants to fix his relationship with his team.

  4. 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.

  5. Ilya suddenly cleared his throat, squared his shoulders, lifted his chin with a strange expression and began reciting poetry in Russian.

    Shane's jaw dropped.

    “...anyway, he cut his wrists, wrote this poem with his blood, and hanged himself. What?”

    Shane closed his mouth, shook his head, and finally said,

    “When I came here, I expected a lot of things. I don't know that you'd make me drink litres of vodka or something like that. But not poetry in a cemetery, I admit, I didn't see it coming.”

    ...

    NHL 2012 Lockout. Hollander comes to Moscow to play in the KHL and learns two things: Moscow landlords don't particularly like renting to Asians, and Ilya Rozanov has a spare room.

  8. “Ilya?” his voice is thick and heavy on his tongue. He's so agonizingly beautiful, his face tender and red from the impact of his helmet hitting the ice moments before. “I’m okay,” he insists, blinking slowly.

    And then, starting at his fingertips, Shane starts to fade away, just like St-Simon and Marlow and Pike moments before. Eyes soft, Shane gazes at Ilya, not seeming to realize what’s happening at all. And Ilya, overcome with terror, can only watch as Shane’s whole being simply disintegrates into thin air.

    Half the universe is snapped out of existence, including Shane.
    Ilya struggles to cope.

  10. Shane Hollander doesn't know what he is. He knows what he wants. For a long time, he tells himself those are different things.

    Ilya Rozanov knows what he is. He can't control what he wants. For a long time, he tells himself those are the same thing.

  11. Shane and Ilya get arrested hours after Team Canada wins the World Junior Championship. From one day to the next, their lives are flipped upside down. As prisoners – er, incarcerated persons –, they are no longer climbing the hockey social ladder. They are no longer rival captains and star hockey players bearing responsibility for their nations’ and their future MLH teams’ hopes. They are nothing more than cellmates awaiting trial, caught in a tedious cycle of empty days where privacy is a distant memory. However will they pass the time?

    Good thing they have each other. Now if only they could be honest about their feelings... Ideally, before they're released and face the legal and professional consequences of their venture into crime.

    ***

  13. “You all good, Hollander?” Wiebe asks, startling him as he turns his head to see their coach standing beside the bench. “Fine, coach,” he huffs out his reply, a little embarrassed at how out of breath he is. “Just taking a quick break.” “You know, you can sit out practice?” “I know, you’ve been telling me for months.” “Well, you’re gettin’ there, kid. That baby looks about ready to score a hat trick. I’m thinking you should probably start taking it easy. When’s your due date again?” Shane’s eyes darken, lips thinning. “Not until next week.” “Next week?” Wiebe looks surprised by this. “What the hell are you even still doing here, Hollander?” --shane gives birth to his and ilya's first baby at the cottage---

  15. What if after tuna melts, whispered names and the Rose of it all - in a post All Stars Game world - Shane thinks the world is finally starting to make sense again to him. Once the ground is firm under his feet - or so he thinks anyway - it's turns out to be less than stable? What if when Shane was getting his hook ups in Mexico and Hollywood - he wasn’t as unnoticed as he had originally thought?

    When Montreal shows it’s true colors sooner, a No Trade Clause is waived and Boston gets an opportunity to build a dynasty that rivals the one of their largest rivals up North.

    What if Shane and Ilya’s worlds are turned upside down and things with their over 8 year long situationship (now maybe relationship?) suddenly got more complicated and somehow simplified at the same time? Shane honestly thinks this is possibly the most ‘them’ resolution to a situation he has ever found. Ilya is just doing his best - he thinks. Maybe.

    Also, the Power Play in Boston is about to be the thing of nightmares, if a certain Russian can stop blocking Shane's damn shot…

  16. With the first overall selection of the 2010 NHL draft, the New York Admirals are proud to select Shane Hollander.
     

    “Ah, New York! New York is nice, yes?”

    “Uh, yeah, I guess. I haven’t really spent much time there. Yet, I guess.”

    “I am also moving to New York.”

    ----

    On the night of the NHL draft, Shane Hollander goes to the gym. Ilya Rozanov may not be a hockey player, but somehow he is there, in Shane’s orbit, in New York, under his skin.

    Or, how more proximity can turn a fuck buddy into a best friend, but falling in love is always hard.

    “I’m trying to figure out,” Rose wonders aloud. “Are you always a complete prick? Just with women? Or just when you lose a game?”

    Ilya barks a laugh, shocked and almost delighted, and his smile spreads wide enough that Rose can see all those pearly whites of his that are so much nicer than she expected any hockey player’s to be. “All the time,” he grins, “all the time. However much of an asshole Hollander has told you I am, double it.”

    She answers truthfully, shrugs her shoulders in her tiny silver dress. “He hasn’t mentioned you at all.”

    After a shitshow of an evening in a Montreal nightclub, Ilya wakes up the next morning in Shane’s bed. Only, he’s not in Shane’s bed — Rose Landry is, and he’s in Rose Landry’s body, and she’s in his. Well, what the fuck are they supposed to do with that?

  20. Ilya smiled down at Shane and his eyes gleamed with mischief. 

    "You know, Troy is just a few doors down. We could call him over, make it a little party." 

    Shane's eyes snapped open only to narrow again as he glared up at Ilya.

    “Would you like that?”

    “No, I wouldn’t,” Shane snarled. 

    But his face was screwed up in frustrated pleasure. Ilya hummed thoughtfully and pretended to consider. 

    “Perhaps we could make it a competition then.” 

    Shane made an irritated noise and turned his face away. Ilya leaned closer and let his teeth drag down the length of Shane's clenched jaw.

    "You want Troy to see how well you take it, or do you want to see if he's better at riding my cock than you are?" 

    He had been teasing him, pushing at the jealousy that usually made Shane squirm and glare and tell him to shut the fuck up while his traitorous cock twitched and throbbed at how much he secretly liked it. 

    So when Shane did squirm away from him, Ilya followed automatically, pressing their chests flush together. He thought Shane was playing.

    “Get the fuck off me,” Shane spat.
