Summary
1221. Scott Hunter knew exactly what that meant. He had heard of guys doing it together for as long as he had played hockey, especially rookies. The most talked-about rivals of hockey were using drugs together.

Summary
Ilya hates this, all of this. He doesn’t remember anything and he’s not even certain of what happened to him. All he knows is that no matter what’s happened, he’s Dallas Kent’s latest victim. He’s fucking statistic, a tally in that man’s roster.
OR
Dallas Kent meant to roofie and take home a beautiful girl, but instead Ilya Rozanov interferes with his plans. Annoyed at his plans being foiled, Dallas decides that he’ll have to make do with Ilya instead. If only Scott Hunter hadn’t shown up.

Summary
Ilya sees the post at 11:47 AM.
What the fuck, Svetlana had texted, and below that, Did Shane get hacked? I hope he deleted your dick pics if so.
And then, because Svetlana knows he’d rather throw himself into the Rideau Canal than check social media when there’s breaking news about him, there’s a single Instagram link. A post from @shanehollanderhockeyplayer, which is still, Ilya maintains, an absurdly long and unwieldy username for a man with over a million followers.
Ilya clicks the link. He’s expecting to see four candid photos, a well-crafted statement from Farah, a bold declaration of the rumors are true, and fuck you very much.
Instead, he sees three paragraphs of Shane Hollander, his fiancé, love of his life, publicly breaking up with him.
.
Or, Shane Hollander realizes that getting kidnapped isn’t anything like what it is in the movies. Neither is getting blackmailed. It’s less like a bang and more like a whimper.

I’ll Believe in Anything (Except That) by Vardic

Summary
In another timeline, Shane and Ilya hook up in room 1410, nothing goes wrong, and everything plays out exactly as we know it.
In this one, Yuna Hollander walks in before Ilya can leave—and the seven-year situationship never gets the chance to start. Instead, through the power of miscommunication, Shane and Ilya start dating in 2010. With better support, they make better decisions. Their rivalry fizzles out before it ever has the chance to fully ignite, replaced instead by a beloved “bromance". In 2015, they come out to the NHL and the world.
No one believes them.
Or: Somehow, despite Shane and Ilya being out for two years, Scott Hunter is still considered the first openly gay player in the NHL, much to Ilya’s horror.

Summary
“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.

Summary
Shane hates losing control and the last several months-years if he's being honest-have been nothing but him trying to grab onto any choice he can make for himself. In the wake of being outed, exiled from the team he's dedicated his life to, and losing everything he's worked so hard for just because of who he fell in love with, Shane does the only thing he can: he runs until he feels like he's far enough away that he can't hear anyone else's opinions.
It's time for Shane to make a decision, just once, he wants to choose something for himself.

Shane Hollander's Guide to Winning Free Agency by DistantStorm
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
04 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
Shane Hollander is a UFA on July 1, 2019 at 12pm Eastern. An Unrestricted Free Agent, or UFA for short, is a player of a certain tenure whose contract has ended and can sign with any team of their choosing. If it were anyone else, a player walking to his UFA day would strike fear into the fans and managers hearts. They could lose a player for nothing.
On the morning of July 1, 2019, with Shane Hollander set to test free agency, the Montreal Metros and their fanbase aren't worried. It's well documented that Shane Hollander has always held out for the best deal, and being a free agent is his leverage. Everyone knows that he’ll sign another deal with the Metros.
But maybe everyone is wrong.
(Alternatively: the one where Shane Hollander finds out ahead of schedule that Ilya Rozanov is lonely.)

Hayden stares, the sight in front of him not quite computing.
There is the couch. There is Shane on the couch. There is Shane on the couch, sleeping on his back with one arm wrapped securely around the waist of another person sleeping on top of him. The waist of another man sleeping on top of him.
A man.
As in, not Boston Lily.
As in, not a woman at all.

OR
4 times Shane is ashamed of his autistic traits and 1 time Ilya shows him that he doesn't have to be.

Summary
intermission
/ˌɪntəˈmɪʃən/
noun
An interval between two parts of the same story. Often mistaken for an ending.The All-Star Game is supposed to be harmless. Bright lights, broadcast smiles, forced camaraderie, famous rivals pretending none of it matters.
Shane can handle all of that. What he cannot handle is Ilya two corridors away, wearing the wrong jersey, captaining the wrong team, and acting like they are not in love.
Then a bomb threat empties the arena before puck drop. The players are told to stay in their dressing rooms. The delay becomes a lockdown. The lockdown becomes captivity.
Below the ice, with the league’s most valuable players held as hostages, Shane and Ilya have to survive the night without reaching for each other, without giving themselves away, and without letting fear turn into something worse.
OR
A hostage crisis, three targeted All-Stars, and Shane trying not to lose his mind every time Ilya opens his mouth.- Language:

Ilya follows because someone says Shane needs him.

OR
Shane knows Ilya better than anyone. His tells, his temper, his stupid jokes, the exact shape of his fear. None of it lets Shane save him.
