Summary
Jisung shrugs, all too casual. “Just for fun. You know, for the bit.”
“You want us to pretend to be a couple…in therapy. Just for fun.”
“Yeah!” Jisung nods enthusiastically. "Just until the therapist figures it out.”
Minho gives him a long, slow look that suggests he is currently measuring him for a straitjacket. “So. Two sessions, max.”
It’s supposed to be a joke– two best friends and roommates walk into a therapist’s office, and pretend they’re a couple until the therapist figures it out.
But old feelings die harder than old habits, and when everything they’ve been avoiding for five years finally catches up, Minho and Jisung start to realize they may not be pretending as much as they'd like to believe.
or: Minho and Jisung are not a couple– or so they think.

Summary
“So did you tell him before you kissed him?” Hyunjin asks.
Minho stabs at his food and does not meet his eye. “The kiss came from both sides. We were drunk.”
“Great. To circle back to the question you’re not answering, at what point did you tell him you’ve been catfishing him? Did you wait until after you guys used tongue, or are you saving the big reveal for when you move in together?”
Minho runs a very cutthroat business in catfishing. When he's paid to catfish straight boy Han Jisung by a bitter ex-girlfriend, he's more than willing to get back at him for her. Until Minho actually gets to know him.

Summary
Anyway, Shane didn't remember exactly what was in the folder ... But he knew they were all good shots of him.
He hastily clicked open the folder, his eyes barely glancing through the dozen or so shots there, vaguely registering a picture with a sunset background from his condo balcony, something of him laughing, a picture of him working at his laptop with his glasses on...
The director called him again, and he shook his head, the photos blurring. Whatever. It would have to do.
He clicked "select all," then the messages icon, then Rozanov's name. Hit send.

Or: When never-hooked-up Shane and Ilya have to collaborate on a league charity project, Shane accidentally sends Ilya a nude.

Operation O Canada, or The Hollander-Rozanov Method of Soft Launching a Marriage by robbinscinquefoil
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
01 May 2026

Summary
“Can’t hang out tonight, Hayd. I have plans.”
“Bullshit,” Hayden responds. “You never have plans.”
Objectively, this used to be true. Nowadays Shane has many, many plans, between his nightly plans to look at Ilya’s penis through Skype and his various long-term plans laid out helpfully in his notebook, Canva (For Ilya’s sake. He is a visual learner), and more recently, Excel. Shane loves that excel sheet. He’s colour coded it.
In 2017, Shane Hollander spirals and proposes to his boyfriend of 4 days (or 7 years, or 9 years, or not his boyfriend at all, depending on how you look at it), which leads to a lot of plans, weird theories in the Montreal Voyageur locker room, some Twitter drama, and Ilya Rozanov entering his WAG era.

Summary
Shane lifts one eyelid again to look at Rozanov. His eyes are red-rimmed. Like he’s been crying. “Why…why aren’t you in Boston?”
Rozanov’s brow furrows. “Why would I be in Boston?”
“You, you’re captain. Raiders. Boston.”
The room is silent except for the beeping of monitors.
In 2023, Shane takes a bad hit on the ice. When he wakes up, the last thing he remembers is a tuna melt.
There’s a lot to get used to.

Summary
Everything Shane has ever done has resulted in something else. People would call that karma, or physics, but Shane knows better. There are moments he’s sure he has the ability to control everything with a right or wrong thought. And there are moments of clarity where he knows this isn’t true.

unfathomable. truly, truly wild. amazing. aching. painful. gorgeous.
He can feel the tears soaking his face as Ilya starts fucking into him with his whole self, Shane is the safest he’s ever been. His head swims with a peaceful nothingness. If he feels himself drooling, it no longer matters. It’s no longer disgusting. There is no disgust where he lives, joined to Ilya, dissolving into him.
//
So much of their conversations are Ilya waiting for an answer, and getting the one he had already predicted. Shane likes that he still waits.

Summary
Shane and Ilya had mutually agreed to keep their whatever-they’re-doing out of Sochi. It was an easy decision to make: this was bigger than any MLH rivalry and definitely bigger than a few hotel hook-ups. There was no room for distractions, not with Olympic gold on the line.
So it’d be really fucking great if their daemons could get on the same page and stop trying to cause an international fucking incident.

i am losing my mind. i am rending my clothes. i am climbing onto my roof and screaming at the top of my lungs. this fic... this fic!! it is so gorgeous, so blisteringly insightful. the daemon world building is so rich and layered, and ren and sima's personalities are so well-defined and honest. and oh, oh, the amount of aching, perfect character analysis that comes out of having these external souls... it's astonishing. it's perfect. the ilya of it all, in particular, bowled me over without warning and without mercy, just: ow. and also: yes.
ALSOOOOO the way shane touching sima felt warm and golden, and ilya touching ren felt icy cold and free.... the way shane's love is rooted in honesty and ilya's in protection.... im gonna lose it, possibly, definitely.
what an absolute, utter joy to read. i would give anything to read this again for the first time; i am already so excited for my first reread. what a joy.
//
It’s Rozanov. And Shane just wants—he’ll figure that part out later, alright. The wanting is enough to justify the reaching. It always has been so far.
He supposes he is lucky in that regard, but only the kind of lucky that people who survive shipwrecks are: fortunate but ruined all the same.
Ilya should probably warn Hollander about the way he loves, just in case. His love is the deep, prevailing kind. Buyer beware. / Everything, he wants to say. He wants to say, I think I am afraid of everything, all the time.

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.

good lord. absolutely, unspeakably enchanting. truly wonderful. (spoilers in the quotes)
//
“You wouldn’t ruin it, we’d clean it out,” Shane mutters, but he sits back down. Well, he pushes the loose blankets further into the crease between Ilya’s body and the couch first, tucking him in. Then he sits down, as if that was a normal thing to do and a simple thing to survive.
Ilya has to focus very hard on the thread of their conversation so he doesn’t do something very stupid, like beg for more. Beg for another soft touch, another glimpse into the great well of tenderness Shane Hollander is capable of bestowing upon people. Ilya feels strung-out, desperate, starving, aching for more, for again.//
Ilya knows he’ll be smiling if Ilya looks over at him, so he doesn’t. One of the things you learn if you live with devastation at your doorstep long enough is what’s survivable and what must be outrun at all costs. The way Shane smiles at him sometimes, crinkled eyes and exposed teeth and a scrunched up nose—this afternoon, that feels like it falls wholly into the second category.
//
Fuck, Shane doesn’t want anything more in the world than he wants Ilya to hold him and never let him go. But Ilya’s never going to do that. He’s never going to ask Shane not to get on the plane. He’s never going to grab at his hand and stop him from leaving the house. He’s always going to let him go, because he thinks that’s what Shane wants or what Shane needs, and so he’s going to do it for him and pretend it’s easy, and then he’s going to—to paint his kitchen yellow and get drunk in a noisy, sticky Californian club and tell everyone but Shane that he misses him.
When Shane had forced himself off the neighbor’s stoop, back in Zürich, after the lockout ended and all the rubble of it had begun to settle in his brain, he’d realized he didn’t even have the keys to the door. He’d run out without them. But when he’d tried the door, it’d been unlocked. Every light in the house was off, and the door to Ilya’s bedroom had been shut tight.
But the front door had been left unlocked. So Shane could come back.
“I love you,” Shane tells the kitchen cabinets. “I’m in love with you.” -

Summary
“So,” Ilya says, dragging the word out. He’s swiping at non-existent crumbs on the counter, avoiding his eyes. “You have dinner at parents on Christmas, yes?”
“Yeah.”
Ilya nods. “I can house-sit while you are away. Make place pretty, if you have decorations. Make it less boring.”
Shane’s eyebrows fly up. “What? You don’t want to come with?”
Finally, Ilya looks up at him. Hesitantly, he asks, “You want me to come with?”
Frowning, Shane says, “I– yeah. Yeah, of course. You think I invited you here just so you could spend Christmas alone?”
Looking away, Ilya shrugs. “I am intruder here, Hollander. You have family. I do not. Makes situation… difficult, maybe. You forget the world thinks we are rivals.”
“Not difficult,” Shane says immediately. “You want to come, you’re coming.”
Or: Ilya's in Montreal alone during the week leading up to the Winter Classic. Shane doesn't let him spend Christmas alone.

“Alright, the shirt is going to have to come off,” Shane says, sliding back. “I can cut it off you or you can take it off yourself.”
After a lengthy pause in which Shane is unprofessionally lost in those glittering eyes, the firefighter grabs the hem of his shirt and begins to lift. He stops almost instantly with his elbows crossed over his face and his chiseled abdomen right there for Shane to gawp at, holy shit.
The pained noise the man makes jars Shane back into motion. “Right, okay. My turn,” he mumbles, smoothing the fireman’s hands back onto his lap.

Summary
In the days leading up to the first time Shane Hollander faces his old Montreal team with the Ottawa Centaurs, he kinda goes through it. Maybe a lot of bullshit built up over the years. Maybe now that he's finally in a place to deal with it, he starts to.
Featuring my beloved Centaurs taking care of their own, a couple of very early mornings, a minor meltdown at practice, a slightly bigger meltdown at a barbecue, and one Shane Hollander finally coming home.

absolutely incredible. poetry!!! poetry.
“I just don’t know how to do this,” he said.
“That is because it is new,” Ilya said, breaking into a wide smile. “And you have not gotten to do all your Shane things yet.”
“My Shane things?” But now Shane was smiling a little too.
“You know, you study, you practice, you visualize the win. It worked for your backhand, it worked for blow jobs. It will work for this too.”
“And what am I visualizing this time?”
Ilya’s expression softened into something more serious. “Being happy,” he said. “Being free. Being safe.”

Shane really isn't looking for a relationship, which is why having Ilya around is nice. No strings attached, only great sex. It's a win all around.
The only problem is that Ilya is way, way too nice to Shane's stupid cat.

Summary
The queer NHL players (begrudgingly) unite via group chats in the face of social media scandals.
These stories take place on a (slightly loose) chronological timeline and make the most sense when read in order. However, they're all independent stories/scandals and can be read as standalones.
All stories take place post TLG and include spoilers for the books.

Summary
Usually, Hayden can accept that Shane's private life is none of his business. When he’s at home waiting on four kids hand and foot, it’s not like he's filling his days making deranged cork boards connecting Shane to every gay man in North America.
But on the road, he has nothing to occupy his time besides the occasional Skype call and cable TV. It gets harder to ignore the fact that Shane’s swapping sweet nothings with a man he still won’t let himself talk about.
Or: After the cottage, Shane comes out to his teammates but swears that he doesn't have a boyfriend. Unfortunately for him, Hayden and J.J. don't believe his lie for a second.
