    Summary

    Shane realizes that Ilya's never been on a date and that nobody has done anything romantic for him before, so he rectifies that. #IlyaRozanovIsLoved

    While Ilya is working through his feelings, it's very light on the angst. No fighting between them just cuteness.

    Summary

    "You're disappointed in me," Ilya says when the silence drags on too long.

    It snaps Irina out of her thoughts. No, she wants to say, you're my perfect boy, though she knows she shouldn't. She can't bring herself to say yes either. "You're my son," Irina says. "I love you."

    "I'm sorry, Mama," he says, voice small, smaller than Irina has heard in years. He sounds like a child again, five and besieged by nightmares of a snowstorm, begging for reassurances than their house won't be buried under an insurmountable blanket of white, that she would find him and hold him even if it was.

    "It's not my apology to accept, Ilyusha," she says instead.

    (Irina Rozanova lives! It doesn't fix Ilya.)

    Summary

    "Oh." Hollander has gone a little red, beneath his freckles. "I am from… French Canada? Québec? Do you know? Very… very small town there, no English, only French. I try to learn, but— is a bit hard."

    Ilya feels mildly stupid. He knew, obviously, that they speak French in Canada, but he didn’t know it was, like— some people’s only language. He’d sort of assumed everyone was fluent in both.

    "Huh. Cool."

    "Your English is very good," Hollander offers.

    Ilya laughs.

    "I mean, yeah— I grew up in Minneapolis."

    Summary

    Shane (to himself): This is great. I'm going to get a good grade in friends with benefits, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,

    Or:

    When Shane sticks it out at Ilya's house, and the tuna meltdown doesn't happen, he still walks away confused about what Ilya actually WANTS from him. When an opportunity presents itself in the form of Rose Landry and a very thorough PR relationship contract, Shane decides to take advantage of it to show Ilya that he can be a totally chill and normal friend with benefits, and definitely isn't too attached.

    Summary

    Following an afternoon of sex and tuna melts, Shane goes searching for the explicit rules of what being 'friends with benefits' entails. In his humble opinion, they're nailing it.

    Once friendship is on the table, Shane reconsiders the usefulness and immutability of the public rivalry narrative. Surely the NHL can make just as much money from a bromance as it can from a rivalry?

    A missed call from J.J., a dinner at All-Stars, and an ill-considered mad dash to the airport send Shane's season in a very different direction to the disciplined three-peat he'd been planning back in October.


    "This rivalry thing: it was everyone else who said we hated each other off the ice. There’s no rule that says we have to keep doing that forever.” Shane stared outside, past the blinding billboards and down at the streets below. “It was nice. Hanging out, last time.”

    He knew what it looked like when Rozanov shut down, when he closed himself off and pushed the world away. He’d finish the conversation abruptly, curt, clipped, and retreat. So Shane knew he’d won when Rozanov finally answered with: “Are we six years old, Hollander? Asking if I want to play in sandbox with you?"

    Summary

    They spent years imagining what it would feel like to finally choose each other.
    Now, they finally have.

    Shane and Ilya have a plan. A ten-year plan, to be exact. Shane's parents know. For once, there are no secrets, no stolen moments, no reasons to wonder if they’re asking too much of each other.

    They have the life they were always too afraid to imagine.

    It’s almost perfect.

    Almost.

    Then Ilya gets a text that threatens to unravel the fragile future they’ve only just begun to build: he has a child he never knew about.

    Suddenly, the future they planned no longer looks quite the same. And with a new life unexpectedly entering theirs, Ilya has to figure out how to be a father without losing the man he loves.

    Because sometimes the hardest part of getting everything you ever wanted is discovering that it doesn’t look anything like the plan.

    And sometimes, the life you never planned for becomes the one you can’t imagine living without.

    Summary

    In an AU where Shane joins the Montreal Metros the same year he's drafted, Ilya stays in Russia and Shane is pretty pissed off about it. He's released to go to the 2010 World Junior Championships in Helsinki, Finland because he wants his rematch, damn it, and because he wants to try to convince his rival to get to the MLH as soon as possible and make things interesting.

    When Shane discovers Ilya may not have stayed in Russia of his own free will, he puts together a crack team of idiot teenagers international hockey players to achieve one goal: get Ilya Rozanov to Boston.

    Summary

    “Shit,” Hunter said, eyes wide. He shot a glance up and down the hallway and held up his hands in the universal sign of “calm down.”
    “I can pretend I didn’t see anything,” he said quickly.
    “There’s nothing-“ But Shane was losing the ability to speak. His throat was closing up, his vision darkening, his heart feeling like it was being squeezed by barb wire.

    What if Scott Hunter caught Shane sneaking out of Ilya's room? What if this change meant Shane had someone to talk to, and then the number of people in his corner kept expanding?

    A what-if homophobia can be fixed by a Swedish hockey coach and rational argument. Featuring accidental cock-blocker Hayden, better communication skills, good Montreal team mates, coming outs, drinking games, and canon divergence.

    Summary

    “So we’re keeping the baby?” He asked, trying to keep his voice steady even as tears welled in his eyes.

    “Well,” her voice broke, “yes. If you want it too. I know the timing is terrible but with everything…we might not be able to again.” He walked to her, dropped to his knees burying his face in her soft, flat stomach and kissing her warm skin.

    “Of course I want it. I want everything with you.”

    In a universe in which Shane is conceived while his parents are in college much stays the same, but much changes too:

    David Hollander is a professional level goalie, but gives up that dream to raise Shane, instead becoming the Centaurs’ emergency backup goalie.

    Shane is diagnosed with autism, trusts Ilya with his diagnosis, and they get together sooner.

    OR

    One fateful night, David Hollander is called to take the ice and discovers his son’s secret relationship.

    Summary

    “I was thinking summer,” Shane said.

    “Summer for what?”

    Shane lifted his head and met Ilya’s gaze. “For everything. Coming out. Going public. Getting married.”

    Ilya’s heart flipped. “Yes?”

    “Yeah. I know it’s going to be a shitshow, but I’m tired of being scared of being found out. I want to tell people, on our own terms. I think I can handle anything that happens, as long as going public is a choice we made ourselves. Together.”

    “That is what I want,” Ilya agreed. “We tell people ourselves. Together.”

    ~ The Long Game, Chapter 25

    What if Shane and Ilya were never outed in Hayden's FanMail, and got to come out on their own terms?

    Ilya Rozanov desperately wants to find his soulmate. So much so, he wants to become a professional hockey player, move to the states, just so he can travel the world and talk to as many people as possible. Because doing so means he could find certain love in his life.
     

    They make this way harder on themselves than it needs to be.
