“What do you want me to say, exactly?” Shane asked, his voice very different from the one they’d usually get for interviews. Less polite and less guarded. “Do you want me to stand here and tell you details of my sex life?” Someone chuckled awkwardly and when no one said anything, Shane threw his arms out to the side just as Harris made his way towards the disaster. Shane looked the reporter straight in the eyes. “Sure! My sex life is fantastic. My husband is hot. Ten out of ten. Any more questions?” Or the one time Shane Hollander was the problem

one day you will understand by Anonymous
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
2026-01-25
“Can I ask you something?”
There’s a flash of what looks like fear that crosses Ilya's face before he sits back, his posture slightly closed off as his arms cross in front of his chest. “Depends on what it is,” he says, eyes somewhat steely.
She gets why people are intimidated by him on the ice.
“Why Ottawa?” She knows it’s something everyone has been asking, but she feels like it’s a legitimate thing to ask. “I mean, I get maybe you’re not happy in Boston, but you could have gone anywhere.”
“Not anywhere,” he says with an almost pout.
“But almost anywhere.”
He lets out a long breath of air through his nose. “I know it does not make sense, but it should not have to make sense to anyone but me.”
Kate tilts her head to the side, appraising him from across the table. “That’s not an answer.”
Ilya shrugs, but he holds her gaze steadily. “Maybe one day you will understand. But for now, know I am where I am supposed to be.”
And who is she to argue with that?
__
Or, everyone asks 'why Ottawa?' Ilya's neighbor, Kate, just happens to figure it out first.

Ilya watches as, with shaking fingers, Shane presses something on his phone and turns it to him.
There is an article open. Ilya sees… a photo of him at Shane’s house in Montreal. A side by side comparison of them, wearing—sharing—the same shirts, and hoodies. Shane’s car driving through the gates at Ilya’s new house.
Shane hiccups, tears streaming down his cheeks.
“They figured us out.”
A year in the life of Shane and Ilya, if they had been outed earlier.

"Hi, I'm Matt," the man said. His gaze swept over the table, and when he met Shane's eyes, he winked. "Great to meet all of you. I'm a big hockey fan."
Shane flushed bright red. Because he recognized that voice, and he remembered that name, but there were billions of people in the world, and Shane had never considered the possibility that his old vacation hook-up would make a reappearance.
"You're a fan?"

Ilya pivots smoothly and turns towards Shane, raising one dark eyebrow. If you're horny, let's do it Ride it, my pony My saddle's waitin' Come and jump on it His jacket comes off next, and he drops it carelessly on the floor. The tank comes off, slow and sensual, as if his body is fighting him to keep it on. It doesn't drop to the floor. This time, Ilya hurls it across the bed. Shane laughs despite himself as he catches it, resists the hysterical urge to sniff it and quickly tosses it aside, “You asshole, what if that hit my glasses—” Ilya continues undeterred, hands trailing up his chest, and Shane's breath catches, his body heating as his nerves spark to life. Ilya’s hands make their way to his curls, where he squeezes them with both hands as he thrusts his crotch up in the air. Shane snickers, then he falls back against his pillows as a breathless sound erupts from him again. Inspired by yet another tweet from @paulasoldestson. OR, Shane's ever-growing list of songs he has banned because Ilya does not know how to behave himself.

“Oh what is worst thing that can happen if Hunter overhears us? You think gay Scott Hunter, trailblazer for MLH will out two colleagues? No. I do not think so. More likely he just jerks off because we sound so sexy together.”
“I swear to god, I’m going to kill him,” Scott whispered.

Saying Nice Things About You (Behind Your Back) by Anonymous
Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types
2026-01-19
“Yeah, what the hell?” Comeau echoes. “Since when do you go around defending Rozanov?”
“I – I’m not,” Hayden says, starting to carefully fold his clothes so he doesn’t have to look anyone in the eye. Maybe Shane is onto something, always folding his things instead of throwing them into his bag. Gives you a moment to concentrate on something manual, to think before having to respond to questions and comments.
“You literally were defending him right now,” J. J. points out.---
Four times Hayden defends Ilya Rozanov to other people, and one time he defends Ilya from himself.

i guess what's wrong is when we're kissing, we can't talk by Anonymous

“Ilya,” Shane says warningly, but he’s too late as the grin unfurls across Ilya’s face. “I said no laughing,” he snaps, glaring at him. “You’re laughing.”
Ilya shakes his head. “Is not at you, sweetheart,” he says, unable and unwilling to stop his beaming. “I am just—happy. To share this with you.” He meets Shane’s eyes. “You are—singularity,” he says, careful with his pronunciation. “My favorite.”
Shane goes red so fast, Ilya worries about his heart for a second.
“I just want to know you,” Shane murmurs, closing his eyes when Ilya lifts his hand up and strokes through his hair. “I miss you when you aren't around, and I want to carry the little bits of you I can.”
OR: Shane has some questions. Ilya always seems to have an answer. (And one time, Ilya has a question, too.)

2026-01-18
Until the nights stretched longer and longer, when the tightness returned to his chest, heavy and familiar. Until he started waking up with the sense that something was wrong even when everything looked right. Shane slept beside him, steady and sure, breathing deep and even. Ilya lay awake, staring at the ceiling, one hand pressed over the gold band on his finger like an anchor. He had everything he’d ever wanted. And still, somewhere deep in his bones, he felt the dark beginning to stir again. or, during Shane's first season playing in Ottawa, Ilya's mental health begins to decline.

"My point is that Rozanov, like, talks Shane down before he even realizes he’s panicking. He makes him snacks with fucking buckwheat in them and he even gets Shane to take a day off once in a blue moon. He’s an asshole,” Hayden says. “He’s obnoxious and rude and frankly, unpleasant. I’m not saying he’s a good guy. But he is a good husband.” Or: 5 times Hayden defends Ilya behind his back, +1 time he defends Ilya in front of him

would you still love me by UglyGreenJacket
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
2026-01-18
“Hey,” Ilya’s voice, deep and rough, resonates through Shane all the way down to the bottoms of his feet. He turns his head toward the sound, but doesn’t open his eyes, instead opting just to keep the blissed-out look on his face as he waits to hear what Ilya’s going to say. Shane imagines it’ll be something like, ‘You are perfect. Such a good boy.’ Or maybe in Russian, ‘I love you so much.’ But much more likely, ‘I give you ten minutes, and then I blow you in the shower.’ Fingers brush against his cheek, and Shane leans into the touch, lost in the feeling of being loved and wanted so wholly. And then, “Would you still love me if I was a worm?” His eyes open, and he wonders if his dopamine-addled brain has just misheard. “I’m sorry. What?”
