Shane stuck his hand out. “Shane Hollander.” He waited for… well, he didn’t know what. A flicker of recognition. Possibly surprise? Delight was perhaps a bit much to hope for, but maybe some kind of excitement about meeting one’s soulmate, the same giddy feeling that was swirling in Shane’s stomach just from standing face to face. Ilya Rozanov gave him nothing. Just glanced between Shane’s face and his hand like Shane had offended him somehow, before finally taking it— —and promptly turning back around to light his cigarette. In which Ilya Rozanov is the name on Shane’s wrist, but Shane Hollander is not on Ilya’s.

Yin and Yang, Motherfucker! by Anonymous
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid

“Babe.”
“What?” Hayden says, twisting his wedding ring around his finger.
“Have you ever seen Shane with a girl?”
“Um, yeah. Rose Landry, hello?”
“Besides Rose,” Jackie says firmly. “They weren’t together very long, either, right? I mean, I didn’t even get to meet her! And, they stayed friends after.”
Jackie stands from the bar stool and leans against the island, crossing her arms over her chest. “I don’t get it. What does that have to do with anything?”
In which Hayden Pike loves his clever wife, walks in on something he perhaps shouldn't have, and a few awkward dinners are had.

“Okay, no, you’re right. Fuck the Admirals. But fuck their stupid gay-kiss Stanley Cup win, too.”
What?
Another moment of quiet, then:
“I never kissed my boyfriend on the ice, though,” Shane muttered resentfully. Hayden’s heart thudded at the bitterness in his tone. Shane didn’t talk like that.As Shane becomes more comfortable in his and Ilya’s relationship, he starts letting his guard down, bit by bit. Hayden is subject to some very confusing one-sided phone conversations.

Shane accidentally sends a screenshot of his most recent sexts with Boston Lily to his mom and Yuna mistakenly thinks Boston Lily might be treating her son badly based on several texts talking about making Shane cry during sex, choking him, etc. Shane has to come out as several things at once: gay, Ilya Rozanov's fuckbuddy, and, most mortifyingly, a freak in bed. This goes about as smoothly as you'd expect, but in the process Shane learns he's very, very loved by his family.

“You have no idea who your parents really are, do you?” the Russian asked seriously after a few minutes passed of them staring at one another, though it was really more Shane glaring and heaving while Ilya calmly observed him with an unsure glint in his eye. “I have no idea what I’m doing here and what you want with them. If this is some kind of stupid business dispute, I have bad news for you, asshole. I don't know about their business, I don’t even know what their business is, and I’ve never been involved in their business,” Shane seethed as slowly as he possibly could so Ilya could understand that he genuinely had no idea of what was going on. “Now will you please untie me and take me home? I don’t even care if you knock me out again, just fucking let me go!” Ilya set the glass down to the side of him on the black leather cushion and rose from his seat, unfolding gracefully until he was towering over Shane with cool indifference. He bent slightly, leaned in close enough to Shane’s face that he could smell the vodka the Russian man had been drinking, then said easily, “I think I will keep you, actually.”

It’s not going viral because Jane’s true identity was exposed—or even because Ilya was blatantly sexting in public. That part’s as expected as Shane doing yoga or any human being on earth breathing. No, the texts are going viral because no one can believe how bad this “Jane” is at sexting. The women of the world are outraged. The men of the world are baffled. No one can understand why Ilya Rozanov, whose abs have their own fan club, is wasting his time on ‘a piece of cardboard that wished to be turned into a real girl’ (this particular joke has 300k likes and counting). Or: After a social media trend mocks Shane's sexting skills, he tries to improve them. It goes about as poorly as you'd expect. Now available in Russian

Hollander takes a hit. Pike makes a call. Rozanov answers.
Or; Ilya learns a new vocabulary word, Hayden just can’t connect the dots, and Shane seriously doesn’t need this stress.
Just another finding-out-about-Lily after Shane’s hit fic based on a tumblr prompt I can’t track down (or maybe I hallucinated?) that said if Ilya answered when someone called Lily, people would probably assume Lily was one of Ilya’s girls before they assumed it was Ilya himself.

“You’ve got to show Hollander,” someone laughs incredulously. Before he can really process what is happening, J.J. is shoving a phone in his face, the screen so close the picture that he is trying to show him is nothing but a blurb of a man and woman. “Look at this shit, can you believe it?” J.J. asks excitedly. “I don’t know what I’m looking at,” Shane cringes back, eyes hurting. “Rozanov is engaged.” And just like that, the world stops. Shane blinks, and then blinks again. Surely he misheard. _______________ Shane hears a rumor in the locker room that Ilya Rozanov is engaged. He breaks his own heart by believing it without asking Ilya if it's true.

Shane is stooped over to strap on his shin guards when his phone buzzes once in Hayden’s hand.
He doesn’t mean to tap the notification.
And oh god, does he wish he could un-tap the fucking notification.
Because why the fuck has Lily, Shane’s mysterious Boston hook-up of several years (no matter how fervently he denies it), sent him a picture of a fucking sonogram.
Black and white, blurry, and undeniably baby-shaped.

Ilya makes a joke, Hayden breaks Shane’s phone, and a comedy of errors ensues.

Don't tease me (And keep me around like it's easy) by unlikelychild

By the time Shane washes his face, brushes his teeth and packs, there's no time to change. So he's stuck wearing the sweatshirt to the airport while mentally being grateful that it's not a tight neon t-shirt that shows the two barbells poking through both his nipples. Let this be a lesson. Never look at pictures of your situationship with his tongue down beautiful women's throats and go on a jealousy tirade to live a wild night in a city like Las Vegas. Or, Shane gets accidental nipple piercings and Ilya misunderstands.

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?”

“I can bring her in, yes. As many times as necessary. I am very responsible.” Shane gives him an odd look and double-checks his chart. “I will hold you to that, Mr Rozanov. It’s a commitment. She’ll be a handful.” Ilya doesn’t flinch. “I have hands.” // Shane thinks one of his clients is just very committed, and slightly hypochondriac, about the care of his dog. Ilya is running out of excuses to see the hot vet.

Right Formula, Wrong Answer by queerteaoop
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid

Rozanov concluded the interview with a nod, hefted his bag higher onto his shoulder, and turned to leave. Hayden’s first reaction was to notice that Rozanov had the same type of bag that Shane had brought to the arena by accident. That was then followed by the thought that it was funny that Rozanov’s bag had a worn out spot on the strap like the bag he’d been carrying earlier. And then some more capable portions of his brain informed him of the truth. Shane had accidentally brought Ilya Fucking Rozanov’s bag to the arena. Shane asks Hayden for a favor. Hayden comes to some wildly incorrect conclusions.

"Hmm, what was that, Hollander? Were you trying to say something?" Even though Shane and Ilya often only refer to one another by their last names, the way it sounds rolling off Ilya's sex drunk, accented tongue has Shane feeling tingles all the way down his spine. "Fuck off—jesus, ah!—stop talking and fuck me already!" Shane finally snaps. His cheeks are ruddy, voice hoarse from moaning, and his legs are shaking. (Or, Alternatively, friends with benefits hollanov in college, featuring anxious mess Shane and emotionally stunted Ilya - it's mostly pwp with happy ending)
