Summary
Five years ago, Ilya and Shane were building something fragile, pieced together from long days, small comforts, and a future they believed they still had time for. Until it ended.
Now Ilya has climbed the ranks of the mafia, commands a region of his own, and knows better than to show weakness in rooms full of dangerous men.
Then someone else walks in, with Shane at his side. He is polished, untouchable, and no longer Ilya’s.
Shane says he left because it didn’t work out.
Ilya knows he’s lying.
Or: A mafia reunion fic about old debts, quiet sacrifices, dangerous men, and a love that endures, even when there is nowhere left for it to be safe.

Summary
Ilya sat straight up after falling, and he looked to his immediate left, seeing the motionless body sprawled out on the ice. It didn’t register to him right away, though it should have. Then, he noticed the blood, a small pool starting to form under Shane’s head. No. no no no nonononono. He glanced down at his skates, noticing a small trace of blood on the tip of his right blade. He felt like he was going to puke.

Summary
Ilya ignored the request from the NHL twice. The first time they asked through his agent, the second time the director of marketing called his personal number directly. He never got along with the league as a player, and he certainly didn't need to make them happy now.
The next attempt to reach him was harder to ignore. A phone call from an unknown number. A voicemail that made his blood run cold.
"Hi Ilya. This is Rose Landry. We've never met, but Shane speaks so highly of you. I think the NHL has been trying to get in touch. Shane said you probably wouldn't talk to them. But...think about it, ok? I know it would mean a lot to him."
The final request crumbled his resolve. The caller ID blinked "Jane," and Ilya stared at it.

Summary
Ilya failed to walk slowly. He was too excited. When he reached the omega’s door he was at least five minutes early, but he knocked anyway.
There was scrambling inside. Ilya waited. Then the door opened and there stood Shane. He was wearing a pair of suit pants, and a crisp white suit shirt but it was half off, hanging open over his chest.
“Why were you wearing a suit?” Ilya asked, with a smirk.
“Why are you early?” Hollander shot back.
Ilya pushed into the room, gently but firmly, closing the door behind him. Shane stood a few feet away with his shirt open, smelling amazing and Ilya wanted to touch him very badly.
“Were you wearing a suit to greet me?” Ilya asked, grinning.
“No,” Shane said firmly. “I was just in the middle of getting dressed.”
“A wasted effort,” Ilya smirked. “Since I am here to undress you.”
OR
A show-canon themed smutty omegaverse fic in which nothing is a secret but it takes Ilya ages to figure out he's in love. Come for the angst and the smut, stay for the healthy relationship dynamics and soft domestic fluff.

Summary
Ilya wakes up in the early afternoon, in his underwear, with a dry mouth, a crick in his neck, and loud, incessant banging. It takes him longer than he is proud to admit to realize that it’s coming from his front door. He gets up and immediately regrets it. His living room is a mess and the light coming in from the window makes him wince. He does not want to clean today. What he had wanted was a rare, quiet night. Maybe text Hollander to rile him up after his loss the day before. Instead, Marly insisted on coming home with him after his girlfriend dumped him, so he could drown his sorrows. He remembers making some questionable choices after that, and if the state of the house is any indication, he is right.
Oh, that fucker. What did he forget here?
“Marly, you fucking asshole, I swear if you don’t stop—” Fuck. His head. How much did he drink last night? “Couldn’t you wait until practice tomorrow to get—” He opens the door. A small child is looking up at him.
Or: The day before the Tuna Melt Ilya Rozanov finds a child at his door.

A Terrible Problem by writingfor001

Summary
Ilya Rozanov has a terrible problem: he's with these beautiful, sexy, fun women, but he can't stop thinking about this slow fucking hockey player with beautiful freckles and a weak backhand.
Or: An exploration of the psyche of a Russian jock in denial about his feelings, pre and post tuna melts.
He's going to kill me, he thinks again, watching Shane come apart under his touch. I'm going to die chasing this high.
Nothing – not sex with Kateryna or Freckles or Svetlana or anyone else, not the cars, not any amount of stability or lack of gray sludge, not the best fucking hockey he's ever played – nothing has made him feel like this.
"Good boy," Ilya says roughly, and he puts his palm against the base of the dildo and thrusts it all the way into him, hard and fast.

Summary
Shane remembered how he'd heard the front door close, then open a few minutes later. He'd thought Ilya had forgotten something. He hadn't thought much about it until he heard heavy footsteps climbing the stairs to their bedroom. It didn't sound like Ilya, who always took two steps at a time, even though Shane always told him not to. It didn't even sound like one person.
Or:
Shane gets attacked in his and Ilyas house. Ilya finds him.

Summary
“I didn’t come out today because I owe anyone an explanation. I came out because I refuse to let the man I love stand alone while the world decides his worth. We've spent years hiding and even denying our feelings for one another because we were afraid of what people would say. We thought we were protecting each other. That ends today. I’m done caring about anyone except me and him.”
*******
A leaked photo leaves Ilya exposed, and the league wastes no time deciding what to do with him.
Ilya is willing to lose everything if it means Shane gets to keep his career.
Shane takes exactly one look at the world trying to shame the man he loves and decides that if Ilya's name is going to be in every headline, his will be too.
The only thing more dangerous than outing Ilya is giving Shane a reason to fight.

Summary
“It’s not a fucking joke, Ilya, it’s the rest of my life, and you can’t protect me for the rest of my life, can you?”
He knows it’s a rhetorical question, but with the way tears are glossing over Shane’s eyes, Ilya's ready to make that promise. “It’s better than leaving you alone.”
“Is it?” Shane’s leg starts jumping. “Me not alone anymore, but you are. You can't just have me.”
“But I want just you,” Ilya admits, before he can understand why he shouldn't.
—Freedom brings Ilya to college, obligation brings Shane, and loneliness brings them to each other.

Summary
“I’m late,” Ilya finally says.
“Oh! Yeah, of course, I’m sorry. It was good to see you, man.”
Man. It’s patronizing.
“You too.”
Shane searches his face for a second, eyebrows creased slightly, face an open book just like before. Ilya tries to push past him, tries to see how fast he can forget that this encounter ever happened, but Shane stops him at the last second.
“Can I give you my number?” he asks, already digging in his pocket for his phone. “We should catch up.”
Ilya doesn’t want it. He really doesn’t want it. Shane is being polite. He’s being a good boy. He’s saying exactly the type of things you’re supposed to say when you run into someone you haven’t seen in years.Nine years after Ilya decided to end things with Shane, he runs back into him. Shane is working as a hockey commentator, while Ilya is married to Svetlana and living in the US as a retired hockey player. Although he knows he shouldn't, he allows himself to get to know Shane again.

You Would've Been the One by broccolicheddarchicken

Summary
Shane would always be yearning for something with a man who didn't want him, wouldn't he? A little positive attention and he'd folded like origami. Pathetic.
"Stay," Rozanov said. It sounded like pleading. That trick had worked on him, once.
“Why?" Shane's tone was more biting than he intended. "What do you think is going to happen if I stay? Are you gonna make me a goddamned tuna melt?”
Rozanov, to his credit, took the words like the blow they were. His eyes widened, then he covered his face with his palms and muttered something in Russian.
Shane had never seen shame written across those features before.
In April 2017, Shane Hollander suffers the most painful not-breakup he’ll ever experience. Months later, he's outed. Two years after that, a broken knee ends his career.
When Rozanov unexpectedly crosses Shane's path four years later, Shane resolves to be courteous yet keep his distance. But Ilya is just as beautiful and charming as he ever was, and he’s determined to give what they'd once shared a second chance. A real chance.
It's a bad idea. Shane knows it's a bad idea.
The terrifying thing is that it doesn't feel like one.

”Oh, come on!” She whined and Shane couldn’t help but laugh. “When have you ever been able to talk to a friend about the hot guy you’re seeing?”

”Never. Obviously.”

So what if that text message Shane received from Rose wasn’t the only one?Moments at the cottage you missed, the text messages Shane sends about a mystery guy to the only other person who knows he’s gay, and the one text he sends to the wrong person by accident.
