Shane’s ex-girlfriends keep coming out as queer. He’s trying to be supportive, he really is, okay? Listen, he’s an ally! But it’s sort of becoming a problem. For pretty obvious reasons, because people are definitely starting to notice—Ilya most of all.
(AKA, I give Shane the most absurd queer community and convoluted coming-of-age journey of all time and it still somehow gradually makes things better in the long run.)

When the news about Scott Hunter and his boyfriend is leaked to the media, Ilya Rozanov knows that he isn’t going to hear from Shane Hollander for a while. One phone call is all it takes to confirm that Boston Lily is officially on Montreal Jane’s list of blocked contacts. For Shane, Scott Hunter being outed is evidence of all his worst fears. For Ilya, Scott Hunter being out is a window into another world entirely - and he is determined to make that world his own. More than that, he is determined to share that world with Shane, no matter how long it takes.
or - Scott and Kip come out earlier. Ilya Rozanov loses his boyfriend, loses his father, and gives up his home. There’ll be a cottage, eventually.

Never Together (Better Together) by Anonymous

“Is that really why you're single? You're afraid you'd let your partner down?”
Ilya took a sip and tried to battle the urge to be honest, but it was useless. He had developed an Achilles heel, and it came with beautiful brown eyes that were currently piercing straight through his soul.
“I think I am single because I have fun being single,” Ilya started with the easier part of his answer, and he saw Shane nod. That part was expected.
Ilya took a shaky breath before he admitted the rest. “And I have not met anyone that I wanted to be with, enough. One time, maybe. But was not possible.”
***
Shane and Ilya stop hooking up during their rookie season after their secret is almost exposed. Six years later, Scott Hunter comes out and changes everything. Ilya and Shane decide to forge an unlikely friendship as they navigate the league, coming out, and Scott Hunter's annoying queer group chat.
And they accidentally fall in love, obviously.

Shane Hollander is the most sought-after goalie on the market in the 2015 offseason. The Bears are thrilled when they get the steal of the decade by signing him out from under Montreal. It’s even cooler that their captain is so close with Hollander. The two are like, best friends or platonic soulmates or something.
Alternatively: 5 times the Boston Bears should’ve guessed that Hollander and Rozanov were totally gay for each other + 1 time when everyone knew (Except Carmy).

Ilya was glowing, and wild, and so bright he was almost blinding. Beautiful, Shane had known, even back then, when he was still too young to know much of anything at all. Ilya Rozanov belongs to the summer, and the summer belongs to them. (Or, two childhood best friends spend a summer by the lake, before the rest of their lives begin.)

It’s his Person.
Missed you missed you missed you, he tries to convey with no mouth and no voice and all his heart. He’s reborn the way he died; the name of his Person nestled safe against his tongue.
“Ilya,” Shane gasps, and his heart beats again.
Shane Hollander dies the second Ilya Rozanov’s plane goes down. It just takes a while for his body to catch up.
Thankfully, death isn't permanent — for either of them. Their tangled souls have been given a second chance at life, and they’re going to act like it. Which means never separating again. Ever.
After all, death can’t part them. Why should hockey?
(Shane's POV of BOGO, can be read as a standalone.)

He doesn't mean for it to be a secret.
Or, well. That's his story, at least. It sounds convincing in his head. He practices the words in the mirror, over and over again, at first with a flat affect and then growing into a wearied sort of pleading, an uncomfortable honesty soaking into the lines of his face as he imagines the expressions of his teammates.
Fuck.
He doesn't know if he can do this.
But he knows—he knows—it's a matter of time.
OR: Shane has a secret. It's a really, really big one.

Shane has his cornerstones of control: Ilya, food, and hockey.
He can keep them all discrete and harmonious - a well-oiled machine.
Hockey belongs on the ice. Shane and Ilya belong at the cottage. Hayden belongs at a distance where Shane doesn't have to explain himself.
Except Hayden really should know about Ilya, shouldn't he? And surely telling him can't blow Shane's life up too much. Ilya doesn't think so, but Ilya routinely asserts that his skates are "too American and trying to humble him", so maybe Ilya's opinions aren't always to be entirely trusted.
OR: Hayden Pike loves Shane a lot. Enough to tolerate the Russian shitbag that is Ilya Rozanov? Well...

A fiery plane crash claims Ilya Rozanov’s life in January. By April, Shane Hollander is dead of a broken heart. The truth dies with them.
Yuna Hollander will do anything to get her son back, including hiring a shady shaman to resurrect him. There’s just one complication — Shane isn’t coming back alone.
Now there are codependent (not)zombies in her house wearing Ilya and Shane’s faces. When they inexplicably act more like a married couple than the bitter rivals she expected, Yuna is convinced that they came back wrong.
It’s easier than admitting she never understood them from the start.

“I know you said you couldn’t do this week,” a woman was yelling from outside, “but I have to take an extra shift, and Magda is away. Ilya! Are you th-” She paused upon finally stepping inside, a colourful backpack hanging over her shoulder and a bag in her hand. “Oh.” Shane could hear Rozanov scrambling behind him, probably wiping his stomach off and pulling his clothes out of their rumpled sex state, before he stepped into view of the door. The small child who had been staring at Shane with her gigantic blue eyes turned at the movement, and her face split into a wide grin. “Papa!” Picking up right after the tuna melt scene Shane is confronted with Ilya Rozanov's secret child, a move that everyone except for the child is embarrassed and awkward about.
