    Summary

    Shane Hollander is Harbor High’s quiet hockey star: brilliant, disciplined, closeted, destined for the NHL, admired from distance but never understood. When his mother Yuna brings home Ilya Rozanov, a sharp-tongued Russian teen with nowhere left to go, Shane’s carefully controlled life begins to unravel. Ilya is carrying grief, secrets, and a past everyone is eager to judge. He is also annoying and now he's living in Shane's family's poolhouse. Shane can't stop looking at him.

    Thrown together by circumstance, school, and (bad) parental choices, Shane and Ilya become impossible for each other to ignore. In a sunny world full of beach-house parties, polished lies, rich-kid cruelty, and hidden longing, their tangled up lives turns into something more dangerously exhilarating: love.

    Or: Heated Rivalry, but make it The OC.

    Summary

    Yuna's breath caught. "What did you say, baby?"

    "Please." Shane's forehead was still pressed to his knee. "Please, please, please—"

    Hayden shifted closer. "Please what? Tell me what you need, Shane.”

    Then, so faint that all three of them had to lean in just to catch it. "...I need him.”

    Yuna's hand found David's. "Who, sweetheart? Who do you need?"

    “Ilya."

     

    Or: It's been a month since the tuna melts. Shane's been getting closer to breaking every day, until he finally does, in front of his parents and the Pikes. In the middle of the panic, he blurts out the only thing he needs: Ilya. So they call him.

    Summary

    The lights became strangely bright, the music seemed to echo inside his skull instead of around him. His balance faltered as someone brushed past him, and he laughed automatically, though the sound came out slurred enough that it startled him.

    Weird.

    He hadn't had that much to drink.

    He blinked hard, but the room refused to steady. People seemed to move half a second too late, their faces smearing together whenever he turned his head too quickly. His tongue felt thick in his mouth.

    No. Something was wrong.

    He should… he should find Marley, or Brad, or literally anyone.

    He turned, intending to push through the crowd, only to stumble into someone's shoulder hard enough that they had to catch him before he fell. "Sorry," he tried to say, but it came out almost unintelligible. His pulse lurched.

    Ilya gets drugged at the club. Read the tags please.

    Summary

    Shane was looking forward to All-Stars. Rose helped him understand some things and he was hoping to talk to Rozanov, apologise for freaking out.

    But then Rozanov is hurt bad; Shane can't stop watching the video of his final, confused moments on the ice, especially the part where he says his name is "Ilya Hollander." Viewers can't decide if he's still trying to chirp or just addled from the head injury.

    When he overhears Marlow say Rozanov is not going to wake up, Shane is floored; he's losing everything that matters and no one even knows.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander when asked about speculations of his boyfriend Ilya Rozanov ‘tanking’ on purpose to reunite with him in Providence : “...What? He gets an earful from me every time they send him down. He has lousy puck control and weak defense and needs to work on his shooting accuracy and you think I want it to stay that way? No I don't want my boyfriend to be a joke of a player, I'd like him to put decent enough numbers that he doesn't get moved up and down the NHL and the AHL like an idiot. Now leave me alone.”

    or: Ilya Rozanov is a mediocre fourth liner of the Boston Bears. When he gets outed, the internet theorizes he plays poorly on purpose. His boyfriend isn't amused.
