    Summary

    Shane Hollander is one of the best search and rescue specialists in North America. He doesn't do private clients. He doesn't do rich adrenaline junkies with camera crews and a death wish. He does, apparently, do forty thousand dollars when his parents need it badly enough. One week on Karanov's summit should be simple. Assess the snowpack, make the call, go home. Then the storm rolls in, the helicopter can't fly, and Shane is stuck in an eleven by nine foot ranger station with Ilya Rozanov — Olympic gold medalist, professional daredevil, and the most infuriating man Shane has ever met.

    Summary

    "I don't mean to come here and freak you out," Scott said, though he knew there was no avoiding it. He'd been where they were before. It had felt like he was dying, back then. "I just don't want you to think you're the only ones, okay? There's lots of us."

    Their eyes snapped to him in unison, startled and intense. Hollander croaked, "What?"

    "There's over sixteen hundred guys in the MLH and AHL," he reminded them, because it had felt improbable to him when he first heard until he remembered the sheer size of the hockey world. "There's — well, we don't know how many of us there are, but there's at least seventeen of us that know each other. Plus you two. We watch out for each other."

    His eyes enormous, Hollander asked, "There's, what? A secret underground gay hockey network?"

    Scott shrugged. "Yeah, basically."

    ----

    Ilya and Shane find their way into The Tennis Club, a network of closeted hockey players that hook up - so long as everyone keeps it casual. Which is no problem! They can do casual, right?

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has a problem. Shane Hollander has a hypothesis. The media has a narrative.

    The summer Shane and Ilya spent together in Moscow when they were sixteen follows them into the spotlight of their professional careers. The world is all too happy to remind them of their shared history; former teammates turned rivals - as if either of them could ever forget.

    The story gives them a perfect cover.

    It doesn't give them any excuses.

    *****

    This story is a sequel to "Plexiglass Box", in which Shane and Ilya meet in 2007, when Shane's mother joins the coaching staff of Ilya's junior hockey team for the summer.
    Or: Shane was Ilya's coach's son, things spiral from there.

    Summary

    Statistically speaking, there was a very long list on one end which Shane sat solidly at the top of. On the other end, there was a list with only one name on it.

    Shane was the best of everyone Ilya had ever fucked.

    Sasha was the best to ever fuck Ilya.

    Shane would never have gotten two Stanley Cups if he didn’t know how to pivot and change direction when needed.

    Summary

    This fic is basically a time capsule of being a queer teen in the late 2000s/early 2010s

    "Shane Hollander. I, um, wanted to introduce myself."
    Rozanov turned to face him, cocked an eyebrow, and moved to shake Shane's hand. His grip was strong, his large palms calloused and surprisingly warm in the winter cold. The contact was over in a breath and still sent a tingle down Shane's spine. Focus, don't make this weird. You've practiced what you're gonna say to him. 

    Or: What happens during the gaps in canon leading up to Hollanov’s first time™?
    They’re just two kids with big fat crushes trying their best!
    Featuring: teenage angst, awkward sexual experiences and the buzzy feel of first love (shhh they don't know that part yet)
