    Cliff: You want me too break your nose?! (Ilya is on a sex ban and would do anything to get out of it. Anything.)

    Yuna: She can't stop herself from peaking, to make sure Ilya can calm Shane down - she see's something else. (Shane has a meltdown and Ilya calms him down through the power of a biting kink)

    Scott/Kip: What do you mean i remind you of your brother? What do you mean you don't know your a bottom? (Ilya and Scott finally talk and become friends. Shane and Kip are talking about sex. Kip introduces the concept of BDSM. Kip has regrets.)

    Hayden: First he fails at convincing Shane to become his third, then walks in on him getting his back blown out, then Shane gets kidnapped. Oh no.

    Svetlana: Plane crash rewrite - somehow this leads to Svetlana following Shane up a mountain in hopeless rescue attempt

    Ilya: My dick too big and my bitch too hot (Shane is in SubSpace then the hotel fire alarm goes off, the team finds out something new)

    Luca: what’s a BDSM relationship? (Luca sees some stuff that sets of an internal alarm)

    Harris and Troy: Recording shit they shouldn’t

    Or a collection of one shots of people clocking how unhinged Ilya and Shane are for each.

  2. The Québec provincial registration portal crashes multiple times because of traffic. It does this every year, like clockwork, and no one is ever surprised. Every year people try to figure out which celebrities have signed up, which big names in hockey may or may not participate. Rumors spread for weeks during the registration process: anonymous athlete sightings, leaked scent profiles, illegal drones trying to map out any new protected zones and flesh out anything that may have changed about the old ones.

    Shane stares at the blinking cursor beside his name.

  3. “What do you want, Rozanov?”

    Once upon a time, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov had been something of fated rivals. And then. Rozanov's national team crashed and burned in the 2014 Olympics in his own country. Shortly thereafter, he requested a trade to a Canadian team without much explanation, and by the end of the season, he was playing for Ottawa. Years of buildup and progress thrown away. The rivalry lost its luster after that, with Rozanov hardly a competition.

    Now, Rozanov was looking at Shane as if they shared a private joke. “I have, ah, Marly, what's the word? Proposition? Proposal?”

    “Business offer,” groaned Marlow, drawing his eyebrows together.

    “That,” Rozanov smirked. “Let's sit down, Hollander. Hear me out.”

    --

    Or: Shane and Ilya never started hooking up. Several years into their career, some things are very different. At an All-Star game, the only out and proud player in the MLH approaches Shane with the suggestion to start a charity together. It's the beginning of something life changing.

  4. Ilya Rozanov is many things—a pain in Shane Hollander’s ass, hockey’s biggest playboy, a better chirper in his second language than most people are in their first, the only player who can challenge Shane for the title of “best of his generation.” But when Shane and Ilya get stuck next to each other on a long-delayed flight to the MLH Awards, Shane realizes something else about him: Ilya Rozanov is hot.

    ***

    Shane and Ilya never hooked up at the CCM shoot. Seven years later, they end up on the same flight from New York City to Las Vegas.

  5. Ilya Rozanov has been drafted by Boston, the number one pick overall, but his father doesn't want him moving to America and so takes steps to block his visa. He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong.

    It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it. Even though that something is the most reckless, the only reckless thing he's ever done in his life. He marries Rozanov in secret, to keep him out of Russia and put him on a path to Canadian citizenship.

    Shane's got a five-year plan to get him there and when you have a plan nothing can go wrong. Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's.

    Right???

  7. "Beautiful stranger, sitting right there
    Looked up at me and my dark curly hair
    Looked back for a second, didn't want to be rude
    I tend to fall in love on the tube"
    -Laufey

  9. "The thing is, Shane has always thought he was going to retire in Montreal. He’s spent his whole childhood watching his mom praise them, and wanting to be just like them. He’s had dreams of his jersey getting retired here. He doesn’t want to leave. He wants everything to go back to how it was before Hayden showed up at his door yesterday. He wants to retire a Voyager, he wants to be a Voyager, he’s always wanted to be a Voyager. But he can’t turn back time, and he can’t make himself think that the environment is going to magically get better. He’s already muted the Montreal Voyagers chat after too many jokes at his expense. If they’re that confident behind a screen, who knows how they’ll feel in person. He’s their captain. He should be better than this. This shouldn’t be getting to him. He wants to stop thinking about this. He wants Ilya."

    or:
    Shane gets outed to Montreal a lot earlier than he originally planned to (aka never). The plan he and Ilya made needs to change drastically, as Shane finds himself the one trading teams instead of Ilya. Some things stay the same, but some things change.

    OR:
    The Shane gets traded to New Jersey fic that no one asked for but I wanted to write.

  12. When Ilya set his blades on the freshly surfaced sheet of the Bell Centre at the feet of mostly empty seats, he could breathe for the first time in what felt like weeks. Everything still seemed louder than it had been before he’d been called back to Moscow, but it fell away with the familiar motions. The equally familiar smell of well-used hockey equipment, the reassuring tightness of his gear – forget breathing; Ilya felt like he was waking up from a nightmare.

    It was bliss.

    And then the second period started and the nightmare came crashing back down.


    Following his father’s funeral, Ilya’s senses go haywire and his longing for Hollander intensifies. But Ilya has a career to think of, which has no space for any of that. Unfortunately, fate has other ideas for him …

    One side of his brain is going: this is insane, don't do this, just stay in this room, what can he do? Whether you like it or not, he's hurt you, and chances are you've hurt him too, because you can't read a situation for shit, so what are we trying to do here? Get some fucking sleep instead.

    The other side of his brain is going: He's hurt you, and you've probably hurt him too, and what if this is your only chance to talk about it? What if Paris makes the difference?

    Five months after Sochi, Shane's set to play a charity hockey game in Paris. So is Ilya.

    They run into each other in the lobby of their hotel the night before. Twelve hours stretch out in front of them, and Ilya suggests something different: no phones, no expectations, no past, no hockey. Just the city, and whatever they can be when nobody else is watching.

    It's obviously a terrible idea, but Shane says yes, anyway.

  17. Shane Hollander (!!!!!!) frowns. "You're Oliver Holmberg," he says, and politely doesn't glare at him like he's scum on the bottom of his shoe when Oliver gasps at the sound of his full name (which, his full name (!!!), has never sounded so fucking good, holy shit, Young's gonna shit himself when he tells him about this later) coming out of his mouth. "Are you looking for Ilya?"

    "Ilya?" Oliver repeats, dazed beyond belief. He sort of wants to ask if the world's swimming for everyone, or just him. "Who?"

    Shane Hollander looks abruptly, immensely pleased. Oliver has no idea what he's said to make him look like that, but he'll do anything for it to happen again.

    OR: In a world where there is no outing of Hollanov, Oliver Holmberg stumbles over the big secret twenty-four hours before it's set to be revealed.

  18. “Found you.”

    Hollander closed the folder. “Mr. Rozanov.”

    “I’ve got something for you.”

    Before Shane could ask what he meant, Ilya placed the decorated badge on the counter between them. “Your ID badge.”

    Shane looked first at the badge clipped to his white coat, then at the one lying on the counter.

    “…My ID badge?”

    Or

    Where Shane is temporarily transferred to the pediatric ward after the previous anesthesiologist quits, only to find himself dealing with a crazy, curly-haired blonde nurse who already had his eyes on him.

  20. After a viral photo outs Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov while they're still busy pretending their years-long situationship is mostly just sex, the fallout gets complicated fast. The world reacts badly. Their teams react worse. Ilya's future in North America starts to look alarmingly fragile, and Shane, who has never met a disaster he didn't try to control into submission, throws himself into fixing what can still be fixed.

    Ilya has spent his whole life being wanted for the wrong reasons and discarded for the right ones. Shane has spent his whole life believing that if he is careful enough, good enough, controlled enough, he can keep disaster from reaching the people he loves.

    A practical solution emerges, then a house, then rings.

    Somehow, by the time they say their vows, both of them are certain they are the only one who means them.
