    Summary

    Ilya survives heartbreak, long distance, professional hockey, and the emotional warfare that is dating Shane Hollander.

    What nearly kills him in the end is a misunderstanding about condoms at Whole Foods.

    Or: Ilya mentions they need condoms and Shane says don’t need them. Ilya almost explodes at the thought of them doing it raw before his fantasy is crushed… or is it?

    Summary

    Shane was looking down. His eyes were squeezed shut, his brow furrowed in intense, painful concentration. His lips were moving, silently shaping the words. Good. Night. Forming them slowly, carefully, in the secret space of his own mouth.

    Ilya’s breath hitched. He’d never seen this. Why would he have? Shane had never been sad around him. Never hurt. Never in this kind of quiet, defeated pain. Around Ilya, Shane had been pleasured and angry and frustrated and gloriously competitive. But never this. Never shattered.

    (or, everything is same but Shane has a slight stutter that gets bad when he's sad. Ilya has never heard it because Shane has never been sad around him. Until their night in Vegas.)

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov's life takes an unexpected turn when a deadly plane crash in 2021 takes his life, right after a fight with his long-time partner, Shane Hollander. Though instead of the afterlife, Ilya is sent back to December 2008, just before his NHL career began, on the very day that he first met Shane. He finds himself in a familiar world, with knowledge of both the future and knowledge of the man he loves and the friends he holds dear.

    As Ilya navigates this new reality, he rebuilds his relationship with Shane, who is still finding his path in both hockey and his identity as a gay man. With their rivalry blossoming into a different experience than the one Ilya experienced the first time around, the two face challenges around acceptance, family pressures, and the struggles of being openly gay and lovers in the sports world. Throughout their journey, Ilya contemplates his first life, cherishes the present, and strives to alter the course of their futures (and the futures of their friends) for the better.

    Or, Ilya Rozanov discovers first hand what the butterfly effect is, and how it can drastically alter the future.

    Summary

    “Did you just tell a customer their outfit was structurally unsound?”

    “It was.”

    If you ask Shane Hollander, he'll tell you the bar's highball glasses are committing a war crime against sparkling water, your outfit has at least three structural flaws, and no, he is NOT blushing, it's just warm in here, and no, he was NOT staring at the new bartender through the gap in the ficus leaves, he was RESTING HIS EYES, and also, for the record, he doesn't care that the bartender has hazel eyes the color of warm stone in late-afternoon light or that his hands can untangle Shane's knotted fingers like they were made for exactly that purpose. He's a particularly opinionated artist with a sunset to paint. He doesn't have time for this. (He makes so much time for this.)

    A neurodivergent artist with the social grace of a startled deer + a bartender with the patience of a saint + a best friend who lives for drama = a love story told in fumbled words, shared sunsets, and the quiet understanding that sometimes the most profound conversations happen without speaking a word.

    Or: Shane Hollander has zero filter, zero social skills, and is absolutely in love with the new bartender his mother hired for their family bar

    Summary

    “Luch-Shane,” Ilya says, catching himself only at the last moment before he breaks their no pet names in the workplace rule. “Why don’t you get some air, yes? We can-”

    Shane’s anxiety takes a quick backseat to annoyance once more, at being handled like a child instead of a grown man, like he hasn’t been doing this just as long as Ilya, like he needs someone to tell him when to take a break.

    Like he deserved to have everything taken away from him because he couldn’t handle it to start with.

    “I’m fine,” he says, voice icy.

    The step he takes away is too big, farther than he meant to get from Ilya’s side, and the air between them feels both charged and icy.

    He isn’t quite bold enough to try and fix it.

    (shane is married and on the same team as his husband) (and all it cost him was his whole career and the life he spent years building beforehand) (but it's fine, really) (it's all so very, very fucking fine)

    Summary

    In pro sports, getting injured is just a given. Especially when the playing field isn’t a field at all, but a slick shelf of ice on which twelve men strap blades to their feet and slap a solid disc of vulcanised rubber around with big-ass sticks. 

    So yes, Shane is hurt. Not bad, but kind of bad. Like...in the usual kind of hockey way. It's nothing to panic about but it would be nice if Ilya texted him back with a little more concern about it. Right?

    OR

    Shane gets hurt and then overthinks about everything. Ilya is a menace.

    Summary

    Oh. Ilya is kissing him.

    Shane drops the tongs he’d been holding. He doesn’t move for a full second while his brain tries to come back online. And then he has both hands in Ilya’s hair and Shane is kissing him back. His mouth opens, and Ilya tastes perfect. Feels perfect. Shane makes an embarrassing sound when Ilya’s tongue brushes his.

    Harris says, “Shane, your buns are burning,” at the same time Troy lets out a whoop in the background. Someone else shouts, “Atta boy, Rozy! Who’s up next?” It drops a lead weight in Shane’s stomach, and Shane is an idiot.

    The kiss was a dare. And Shane is the idiot who just kissed him back.

    Summary

    The thing was Ilya Rozanov did not give a shit about the proper chain of authority. To be fair, he was an IT guy, replacing their old prick of a technician Theriault who’d gone mad and compromised their entire network because the General Manager’s daughter rejected him, so they weren’t exactly working in one branch and Rozanov did not truly answer to him, but still.

    He shouldn’t’ve called Mr. Hollander, the very Head of the very Finance Department, with the golden plaque on the door of his very own office, a collection of designer cravats and a bunch of prestigious certificates along with the letters of gratification from the company, Shane the first time they interacted.

    That was precisely the way Hollander had learned about the aforementioned lack of shit Ilya Rozanov gave about subordination.

    or, office!au where Shane is a big important head-in-the-ass manager with no sex (or any other personal) life outside of work and Ilya is a new hire who rocks his whole world upside down. Also, Ilya hates but secretly has a thing for him always wearing neckties.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is the number two overall NHL draft pick and a newly minted Montreal Voyageur. He’s also laser focused on his goals: being the best by beating the best. For him, this means a continued rivalry with number one draft pick—and new Ottawa Centaur—Ilya Rozanov. But when a problem with Rozanov’s immigration paperwork threatens his future in the NHL, what does that mean for Shane’s own career? He can’t risk finding out…so they get married. Just for immigration. A fast, practical, mutually beneficial solution.

    No one will ever suspect, let alone find out, that the NHL’s greatest rivals are secretly married. And there’s certainly no risk of feelings getting involved. They have a game plan.

    He can do this.

    Summary

    Alex ungraciously flops down onto the bed, propped on his elbow, Henry’s left calf outstretched beneath his armpit. “Do I need to ask again, cariño?”

    Henry blinks, but keeps playing the guitar quietly. He likes for his hands to remain occupied. It’s a convenient, distracting focus point for when your crush lays across your legs, looks up at you with the longest eyelashes you’ve ever seen, and calls you sweetheart using one of the fucking romance languages. “Hm?”


    Or – the childhood-friends-to-lovers AU inspired by “This Song” by Conan Gray.

    Summary

    Alex watches, transfixed, Henry tilts his head back drinking from a beer bottle and follows the movement of his throat. He is a bit far from Henry but he can still spot a trickle of sweat meandering down the side of neck, glistening in the light. He watches as Henry and Jeremy laugh at some shared joke while Jeremy lightly shoves his shoulder, hand grazing the sleeve of his shirt.

    His shirt- his shirt. Henry's shirt is his. Henry's chain is his. Henry's laugh is his. Henry is his.

     

    or; Alex was not prepared for all the feelings he would get after seeing Henry in his clothes.

    or; finally a jealous Alex fic.

    Summary

    Alex was staring, he knew he was. How could he not— was he in a dream? There was no other explanation for the fact that Henry was standing here in front of him.

    Awake.

    Awake and looking at him with that amusingly fond expression on his face; concern radiating from the furrow of his brow. “Are you quite alright? You look like you’ve just seen a ghost.”

    Or; lovers to strangers to friends to lovers with a healthy dose of amnesia and second chances.
