Summary
“I think we need some rules for this year,” Shane admits. He knows it’s not fun or cool. It’s also the only way he’s going to be able to drive away from this ugly ass apartment and not have a panic attack.
“Like your rules for loading the dishwasher?” Ilya teases, his thumb rubbing a gentle circle on the apple of Shane’s cheek. “No, No you would want something more serious.”
Once Ilya told him he preferred to have hard conversations in person so that he could reach out and touch Shane. He said it was grounding and made him feel safe. Shane gets it. All of this is less scary when their knees are bumped together and Ilya’s hands are gently holding his head.
“More like some guardrails to make sure your first year in Ottawa is a success.” It’s a cop out. He wants rules to be sure that come next summer they are just like this with a few more memories thrown in for good measure.
Or: After a year of living in different countries Ilya has successfully been signed with the Ottawa Centaurs. Now both he and Shane have to learn to navigate what it's means when long distance doesn't involve plane rides and stolen nights while Ilya establishes roots in Shane's boring hometown.

Summary
He trains endlessly. He’s young and cocksure. He will push his body as far as humanly possible for this team that has given him a chance at a life out from under his father’s thumb. By the time the pre-season starts he’s both exhausted and so drunk on the freedom of being on his own that he doesn’t know what to do with himself.
So when he’s out for his morning run and sees a man a few inches shorter than him with ink black hair and an athlete’s build he stumbles.
Hollander.
He wants to run to him, tap his shoulder and throw his arms around him. He wants to ask him if things in Montreal are also wonderful and confusing. And sure, maybe he would also like to know if sometimes he thinks of Ilya like how Ilya thinks of him in the middle of the night.
But then the man turns around and it’s just some guy in a Patriot’s shirt. Ilya resumes his jog at a punishing pace. Maybe if he runs far enough he can pretend he isn’t seeing things that are not there.
Or, five times Ilya sees Shane in other people and one time he knows he's real.

Summary
“You’ll text when you land, right?” Shane asks as he takes an exit ramp labeled Airport Departures.
“Yes. Promise.”
“And you’ll call tonight?” Shane’s throat works over the words, like he still doesn’t trust this new thing between them. Ilya thinks he understands. He also doesn’t know how to trust this love. How can he when it has been trapped in his own heart so long. Neither of them know what the next year will bring. There is so much time before Ilya can have his agent, or his future agent, he will need a new one with no connections to Russia, reach out to Ottawa and hope that they’ll be interested in a future Hall of Fame center. The one thing Ilya is certain of is that he will do everything in his power to make their plan work. He spent his entire adult life lusting after, and then pining for Shane with his whole heart.
“I will call.” Ilya reaches for the hand Shane has left on the gearshift and threads his fingers through his. He wants to say so much, but he has always been better with touch than words, especially when the only shared language was English. “We will talk every day.”
Or, There is a year before Ilya can sign with Ottawa, Shane counts down the days until their forever.

Summary
Going into a pre-playoff run against the Montreal Metros, Ilya is supposed to upload promotional content for the Centaurs to his Instagram, and it goes spectacularly wrong.
There's humor and there's heart. There's momager Yuna and my favorite versions of Ilya and Shane.

Summary
What if Shane doesn't go back to his room after the infamous Vegas penthouse suite night? What if he finds himself at the bar with other hockey players and what if Ilya gets a call from Marly telling him this.
What if they both realize how much they've been hurting each other? What if they actually talk?
______
“Rozy!” Cliff shouted through the phone and Ilya winced. “Where did you go? You have to get back down here.”
Ilya sighed, rolling his eyes. “I have flight in the morning, Marly. I know what you look like drunk. I do not need to come see.”
“Come on, Roz,” Cliff almost whined. “Even Hollander is down here holding up the bar or maybe it’s holding him up. Kinda hard to tell at this point. Gonna let him be the life of the party when you won the fucking award?”
The fog in Ilya’s brain shifted and scattered at the name.
Ilya’s stomach sank.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.“How many has he had?” Ilya asked, pushing himself up from the bed, glancing around the room until he saw his dress pants and shirt still on the floor by the end of the bed.

Summary
For some reason, everyone has a terrible first impression of Ilya Rozanov. Many have an outlandish hatred of him, distrust him, or think he's a terrible fit for Shane Hollander in one way or another. They see him as the villain in Shane's love story, regardless of Shane's many objections to the contrary.
Unfortunately for them, they couldn't be more wrong about Ilya, and each and every one of them is going to slowly come to realize what a good man he is, firsthand, as Ilya worms his way into their hearts and minds.
Or, the 5 times where the cast of Game Changers finally realized Ilya Rozanov was a great man, and the 1 time Ilya Rozanov finally got the first impression he deserved.
