Everything I Never Lived by Anonymous

2026-10-24
Shane Hollander has spent his whole career being told he and Ilya Rozanov hate each other. He's inclined to agree, right up until a hit in his rookie season puts him in a hospital bed and eleven years of a life he never had unspool behind his eyes: secret hotel rooms, a wedding, kids, a fight that nearly ended them, a crash that brought them back. He wakes up to a body that aches for a husband who was never real, and a rival standing at the end of his bed who has no idea what he means to him.
Or: Shane wakes up from a coma grieving a marriage that never happened, and decides the only way through it is to go build the real thing from scratch.- Language:

Hollander watched him through the screen, face flushed and dark eyes half-lidded, heavy from the powerful orgasm that had just rocked him on the other side of the country. “I guess I won’t see you until next season, then.”
Ilya snorted, dropping the towel onto the floor. “I don’t have seasons. At least not the same ones you do.”
----
Ilya didn't regret leaving hockey behind. His life was his own now, inconsistent, frustrating, and difficult as it was.
His fascination with Shane Hollander, then, was just that—a fascination, a curiosity about the world that could have been, a glimpse of the life that he might have had. But fascination could grow, when there was somewhere to take root.
Shane Hollander was a garden.

#ShaneHollanderIsBadAtSex by Anonymous

2026-10-23
I dated @ShaneHollander24 back in high school. See this photo of us as proof. This is how I know that #ShaneHollanderIsBadAtSex and that is why @RoseLandryOfficial probably dumped him. I should have done the same, but he dumped me after ignoring me for a week when he got drafted with some lame excuse about focusing on his future. Wish he had focused on female anatomy when we had class together but what can you do?
---
When Shane and Rose's breakup hits the internet, the response is less than supportive and the hashtag #ShaneHollanderIsBadAtSex goes viral. Within hours, multiple of Shane's past hookups have joined the trend and shared their opinions on Shane in bed...Including a hookup from a man in LA. He's now faced with scrutiny from his team, support from his family, and the continued silence of his phone from 'Lily'.

Finally, something dawns on him, a way to handle two goals simultaneously. He’d seen Hollander’s mother flipping through papers rapidly when they first got here, seeming calm and in control and more than a little frightening in a way that made Ilya mildly glad he wasn’t one of the people responsible for a clipboard. If anyone can tell him if the long list of “Prohibited Items” he’d been sent in his email a few days ago is just standard practice for big shoots, it would be Yuna Hollander.
Or, hopefully, her son.
“Crazy we cannot even have peanut butter, eh?” He asks. “You also got giant list?”
Hollander stiffens, almost imperceptibly, and Ilya tilts his head, just slightly, confused, wondering if he’s stumbled somewhere unexpected.

“Jesus Christ,” Ollie whispers. “I’m going to pass out. Shane—look, she’s wearing a fur coat. A fur coat, Shane—”
Shane nods, every bit as shaky. The fox is, in fact, wearing a little capelet of real fur on top of her own already ridiculous red pelt: dark and glossy, sable probably, tied under her chest with a silk ribbon and fastened at the breastbone with a small gold clasp.
Or
Nobody is prepared for the way Ilya and Vasilisa Rozanov intend to play professional hockey, least of all Shane and Oliver Hollander.

It's Ilya's first morning at Ottawa General as a nurse on the Internal Medicine Unit — a unit that's big, hectic, and has a wide variety of patients and illnesses alike. It’s a good thing, then, they have the ICU to fall back on; when a patient crashes, they’re called in to help stabilize the patient and determine the best course of care.
Fortunately, Ilya can hold his own in a critical situation.
Unfortunately, he’s slightly obsessed with one of the most competent nurses he’s ever seen — Shane Hollander.
Or; the story of Hollanov, as told through a number of shifts.

An AU where Shane and Ilya meet in very different circumstances. Ilya’s a generational talent, a star and recognised wherever he goes thanks to his talent on stage and the lucrative magazine and advertising contracts his fame brings him. He lives his life in Boston as best he can but recently someone has taken against him and while the threatening letters were unpleasant they didn’t bother him much. He was more bothered by the knife in his side that stopped him performing for months, but now he’s healed and due on stage in a few hours. He hopes he can still make it because he hadn’t been expecting a stranger with uncertain motives to approach him in a deserted alley. When he finds out exactly who he is his life gets much more complicated. Ilya Rozanov has various problems in his life but right now the most pressing one is the dark haired freckled man who’s crashed into his life.

HockeyExpert1410 has posted a new review! by Anonymous
Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types
2026-09-19
When the lesbian next to him at the bar very kindly informs Shane that (other) women have been throwing themselves at him all evening, he's surprised. How was he supposed to know factual statements about the temperature of the room were meant to invite a proposition?!
Her solution? Studying romantic social cues and flirting techniques. The textbook? Romance novels.
Well, it can't hurt to try, and anything Shane tries, he tries thoroughly. Maybe a little too thoroughly? He didn't expect for his book reviews to pick up a following, and he DEFINITELY didn't expect to become the (secret, anonymous) face of "allyship" in the MLH.
He's not complaining, though. The books resonate with him more than he ever could have predicted, even if the hockey is unrealistic as shit, and maybe he'll learn a thing or two along the way. (About healthy relationships, communication, and emotional intelligence. Not any of the OTHER things you'll find in a hockey romance. Nope. Not at all...)

Beneficiaries by Anonymous

2026-09-11
Following an afternoon of sex and tuna melts, Shane goes searching for the explicit rules of what being 'friends with benefits' entails. In his humble opinion, they're nailing it.
Once friendship is on the table, Shane reconsiders the usefulness and immutability of the public rivalry narrative. Surely the NHL can make just as much money from a bromance as it can from a rivalry?
A missed call from J.J., a dinner at All-Stars, and an ill-considered mad dash to the airport send Shane's season in a very different direction to the disciplined three-peat he'd been planning back in October.
"This rivalry thing: it was everyone else who said we hated each other off the ice. There’s no rule that says we have to keep doing that forever.” Shane stared outside, past the blinding billboards and down at the streets below. “It was nice. Hanging out, last time.”
He knew what it looked like when Rozanov shut down, when he closed himself off and pushed the world away. He’d finish the conversation abruptly, curt, clipped, and retreat. So Shane knew he’d won when Rozanov finally answered with: “Are we six years old, Hollander? Asking if I want to play in sandbox with you?"

Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been best friends since they were twelve. They were attached at the hip, as much as two straight guys could be. Everyone accepted that Shane and Ilya were just being Shane and Ilya. Or: Shane and Ilya think they know where to draw the line between straight best friends and whatever the hell they keep doing.

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.

“Let’s make a deal.” The words come out of his mouth without his permission but they make a flicker of a smile appear on Shane’s face, private and fond. He nods, silently urging Ilya to keep going. “In ten years, fifteen,” he starts, gritting his teeth against his own anxiety. “When hockey is done and no one gives a fuck about us anymore and- and I have American citizenship. If- if we are both still single, then we can try.” Shane goes still, hand dropping from Ilya’s face and mouth parting. Ilya has a moment or two to panic that he’s somehow completely miscalculated but then Shane’s expression breaks over an awed sort of smile. “Like those romcom couples, huh?” Ilya blinks. It’s not what he’d expected Shane to say. “What?” Shane’s smile widens into a grin. “You know those movies where like, two best friends make a pact that if they’re both still single when they’re forty then they’ll get married-” “You are proposing, Hollander? Is so sudden-” * In which Shane and Ilya decide to end things in Tampa, make a deal about someday, and end up on the same team together five years later.

Hard to Breathe by Anonymous

Sequel to Breathing Room
Ilya Rozanov has spent five years holding Shane Hollander at arm’s length - not because he didn’t love him, but because he loved him too much to ask him to risk everything for something that could fall apart. He was good at that: the careful distance, the walls that looked like indifference, the way he’d learned to be close without being close. He’d had a lot of practice.
What he didn’t have practice for was what came after he was done lying to himself. He didn’t have practice for this - for something warm and bright and absolutely terrifying. Something that fits in the spaces between games and cities and the distance between Boston and Raleigh. Something that makes Ilya think, for the first time in a long time, that maybe the risk is worth it.
He just needs to figure out what to do with it all before their careers swallow them whole
He doesn’t get the chance to think about it for very long.

Ilya has two problems.
The first is that his best friend is freshly single and needs to get laid. The second is that Ilya is having some...weird feelings about it.
These are completely platonic and heterosexual concerns for his friend, of course.

His body did this chore for him - taking a beating, painfully building muscles - and in reward he got his father’s approval. In much lesser reward he also got his mama’s worry, which, while he loved her care, he wished she would worry less. Wished she could see that he knew the way the world worked and he could fit into it. Wished she would not remind him that she loved her gentle Ilyushenka and that he did not need to hide, not from her.
Ilya Rozanov vs his body :)
