Oh sure, reunion results in happiness, kittens, and rainbows, because that's definitely how life goes when you've just spent 70 years as a tool of villainy. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Hollander stepped closer to the windowsill. Between a pair of empty designer vases sat a cheap ceramic lucky cat, white, with one paw raised. Hollander brushed his thumb over a small chip in the glaze. Somehow, looking was never enough for him. Whenever he liked something – the picture in the living room, the leaf, now this cat – he reached out and touched. Ilya remembered how, the night of their first hook-up, Hollander had touched him first too: fingers curling around Ilya’s arm, as though physical contact were the only way to make sure he was real.
***
House fic! Ilya longs for a
homehouse. (Un)fortunately, his hockey nemesis is a hopeless real estate and architecture nerd.A reimagining of the drought years (2011-13 - less of a drought in this version...) with heaps of yearning, some angst, Ilya driving fast cars, Shane drawing floor plans, the Hollanders, and cats. They take turns rescuing each other until they find their way home.
Now complete!

Bookmarker's Notes
Long but the writing is excellent. It takes some turns that don’t feel like a part of the premise but it all feels like it connects together in the end thematically at least. Kind of fun, that way. And a fun reminder that plot doesn’t need to be immaculate for a story to leave a lasting impression.
I really wanted to see more of the mechanics of Shane deciding to come out, or the open secret era. But that’s not to knock the story, it’s clearly more about what I’m interested in rn. Good fodder.

Summary
“Hollander’s Metros have had a challenging few years, with back-to-back knee injuries and a concussion keeping the two-time Stanley Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist off the ice for three consecutive postseason runs. Hollander is apparently back to fighting trim, but everyone’s wondering if that will still be true come April. The Metros have promised that they’re behind their franchise star one hundred percent, but there are signs they might be hedging their bets. The Metros announced last week that they have penned a deal with San Francisco’s dynamic young Russian star, center Ilya Rozanov. The move has sent shockwaves through MLH, as San Francisco was widely expected to sign a contract extension with Rozanov, who became a restricted free agent in June.”

Shane: When will you be home?
Ilya: Maybe 1 hour. Are you OK?
Shane: I’m really hard right now
The words hit Hayden like a body check into the boards, winding him immediately. He stares at them for a long, long time.

Eight months later, Hayden meets the woman who would become his wife. A year after that meeting, they would be married and expecting twins. Hayden did not have time to dwell on his chance encounter with Marlow, no matter how life-changing the experience had been.
...until a decade passes, his best friend breaks some major barriers, and someone gets traded to the Montreal Metros.

Deep Misunderstanding by some1_around

Summary
“Am I a bad friend?”
Hayden has always been the guy Shane joked with, the guy he trusted to feed him without mocking him, the guy he roomed with on the road, and Shane is the only man who has ever seen Hayden cry, and Hayden loves Shane. He fucking loves him. They are like brothers, and they have been for almost ten fucking years. He’s always been Shane’s guy, Shane’s best friend.
Except all along, maybe that wasn’t true. Ilya Rozanov, apparently, had been the guy. Before Hayden had ever met Shane, Ilya Rozanov had been there. And Hayden had never even noticed.
Shane is all over every inch of Hayden’s life. Hayden thought that was reciprocal.
+++
“You know I think about you all the time,
And my deep misunderstanding of your life,
And how bad it must have been for you back then,
And how hard it was to keep it all inside.” -

Summary
Hayden had never been in Boston during the summer. He *shouldn’t* be in Boston in the summer, because there is absolutely no good reason for him to be there. He should be back in Saskatchewan, listening to his mother lecture him about finding a nice girl to settle down with. He should not be in Boston laying on Cliff Marleau’s couch, pretending to watch a fucking baseball game.

Summary
It’s just something else on top of everything that’s going on. The light in the room is still dim, the cigarette in his mouth unlit, his hands slack at his sides. It had been going so well before tonight. Ilya had been able to ignore Hollander’s text for months after the moment he talked to him in Sochi. But he had underestimated the way his body would react to the proximity of Hollander. Ilya can say no to his needs if he wants to. He drinks because he likes to, he fucks because he wants to, but at any point he can stop, and he has, when necessary.
Saying no to Hollander should be easy. But of course, Ilya doesn’t want to. It doesn't matter that it is not good for any of them.

Bookmarker's Notes
Afterwards, when he looks at the play repeated on the screen, he can see Hollander’s pain in his eyes, the way he spits blood afterwards, and the way he touches his shoulder.
Ilya skates away, Cliff’s hand patting him on the back. He’s sorry (I don’t want to hurt you); he’s not sorry (it’s the game we decided to play); he wants to ask for forgiveness anyway. He might not be able to.

Summary
Getting to fuck his boyfriend and his best friend at the same time is a dream come true on paper - or, more specifically, the google doc that he, Ilya, and Hayden tipsily collabbed on while Jackie oversaw a month ago.
But of course, leave it to Shane to get all tangled up in what role he’s supposed to play, when he’s got two different men with two very different visions of who Shane Hollander is to them. Luckily, Ilya has ten years of experience telling him what to do. And it might even be working on Hayden too.

Summary
No one is going to win a Pulitzer interviewing him, and Shane is okay with that. He spends most interviews rephrasing the same five sentiments--I’m happy we won or We need to work harder after that loss.
They are a good team; the win was hard fought or They are a good team; there is a lot for us to take away.
And finally: I love playing on this team, for our fans.
Then Ilya Rozanov bursts into his life, and answering questions becomes a little more complicated.
or: Shane Hollander, interviewee, throughout the years.

Summary
The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed.
Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.
Reentry is harder than expected.

Summary
Stick to your guns, Ilya thinks. Sex. With Hollander. That’s simple. Straightforward.
Except nothing about this night has been straightforward. The more time he spends with Hollander, the more he wants him - and not just the sex. He wants it all: the reading glasses, earnest ramblings, moral compulsions. The sweetness Hollander tries to hide. The way he holds back from almost everyone, even from himself, but never from Ilya.
***
or: After Vegas, Ilya knows he should end it with Hollander. He likes trouble, yes. Doesn’t mean he likes feeling scraped raw by wanting impossible things. Then they are marooned together at an airport for a very long, very strange night during which Ilya begins to suspect – shakily, reluctantly – that they might be… something.NOW COMPLETE!

Summary
In late 2012 when Shane has a meltdown and frantically tells them to call Lily, for the first time Yuna’s ever witnessed, Shane is coaxed out of one of them instead of just suffering through until the exhaustion wins out instead—and all by some mysterious, apparently very well attuned to Shane, 'Lily'.
She hadn’t meant to see the number before she’d pressed it and fumbled the phone up to Shane’s ear. It was simply a byproduct of the situation, something Shane had asked for her to do.
…Memorizing it and then texting that number to thank Lily for their help was not something she’d been asked to do. But she worries so much about Shane, and Lily is a reassurance. Not a pry for details but the simple, verifiable confirmation: he’s okay.
Lily, on the other hand, very much enjoys being able to make oddly specific 'your mother' jokes to Shane much more often now. (And maybe the whole family piece of it, too.)

Summary
Both of them are there the next time Shane wakes up about an hour later, and this time he opens his eyes, rasps Mom?
The room fills quickly, a flurry of nurses coming to check vitals and adjust his IV, the doctor stepping in to conduct all of the mandatory concussion protocol. Shane grunts and groans every time he has to move his sore body but otherwise complies as he always does, sitting through the basic questions and the light shining in his eyes. He’s up just long enough to finish those and to get something in him to eat, and just after Yuna and David both manage to sneak in tearful, relieved hugs, he’s slipping back into sleep once again.
Normal, they keep saying. This is all perfectly normal.
But there’s something, Yuna thinks—something here that she’s missing.

Honestly, it wasn’t even Hayden’s fault. He never went snooping around. He had enough to think about in life, what with the kids and Jackie and hockey. He didn’t need anyone else’s drama.
No, it was Shane who’d asked him to go through his bag.
“Everything okay?” Shane called from the bathroom.
Hayden blinked. He must’ve been standing there for longer than he realized.
Why was Shane Hollander, his best friend and captain of his goddamn hockey team, traveling the country with a douche?
