Summary
When Shane takes a hard hit on the ice, he wakes up three days later to find his reality has been shattered. But the truth is, it wasn’t reality at all. Just an elaborate set of false memories conjured by a brain injury. 'False memory syndrome' they call it. Shane calls it a nightmare he couldn't have imagined.
Or
Shane doesn’t have amnesia. Instead, he wakes up wanting his boyfriend only to realize his brain concocted a bunch of fake memories of a nine year situationship and Shane has no idea how to live in his actual reality that Ilya hasn’t been a part of. Luckily, Ilya is…curious.

Summary
Being the best hockey player in the world (fuck you, Rozanov) and living in a city as hockey-obsessed as Montreal makes being gay a little bit complicated for Shane - he can’t exactly go out to meet a man, not even if it’s just for sex. So when Hayden brings up this super discreet, super high profile, super anonymous sex party in New York, Shane lets himself be convinced to go. In an unexpected turn of events, he actually feels attracted to one of the partygoers and hooks up with the guy. After, he can’t get the beautiful stranger with the golden mask and the lily tattoo out of his head. Even more unexpectedly, their paths keep crossing until Shane finds himself falling in love.
The game against Boston comes at a pretty bad time, Shane being consumed by thoughts of his “Lily.” During a face-off against Rozanov, the ice is pulled from underneath his skates…
Or: What if Shane fell in love first and realized Lily was his biggest rival later?

Summary
Shane returns from the showers to find the locker room far more animated than when he left it. Everyone has their phones out, and when he sees Shane coming, JJ says, “Câlisse, Hollander, about fucking time! Ilya Rozanov got caught kissing a man.”
After the tuna melt debacle, but before Rose, Ilya makes the reckless decision to go to a gay bar to take his mind off of Shane. When photographs get published, Shane has a realization and devises a plan: he's going to ask Ilya Rozanov to marry him.
Ilya's going through enough without things he can't have being dangled in front of him. He needs to figure out a different way to avoid going home, because eventually Shane Hollander will realize what Ilya already knows: Ilya isn't worth what Shane wants to do for him.

Great concept to see explored! I love the mutual pining and the way the guys interact. I really like to see Boston have a bad reaction, not because I want homophobia to thrive in the NHL, but because I so rarely see it portrayed that way.

Summary
She watches Joe touch Shane’s arm, and Shane pausing, leaning in as Joe explains something he’s doing with his skate, pointing down at his foot and using Shane for balance as he demonstrates. Does Joe have a crush on her son? Her proud mother’s heart says How could he not? Her sweet, handsome boy. She hopes Shane would be polite about it.
Then Joe lets go of Shane’s arm and skates off, and Shane just stands there watching him for a few moments. Her heart does an odd jump. What if Shane liked him back?

5 times Yuna Hollander thinks Shane might be gay, and the time she finds out he is. (Inspired by the fact that Shane's parents tell him they thought he might be gay after he comes out to them.)

Bookmarker's Notes
Great story of a frustrating but sympathetic Yuna who is mostly trying her best but just doesn't have it in her to create an environment where Shane feels comfortable coming out to her, though she loves him enough that she supports him immediately once he does.
I like that this story explains where the line, "I think we thought you might be gay," fits into Yuna's relationship with Shane since that line has always made me angry. This is a wonderful Yuna POV that explains why she's burying her head in the sand while she thinks she's doing the best thing for Shane. It's truly not out of malice, it's just being straight in a heteronormative world and letting yourself be buoyed along and hoping you'll never have to confront anything that's atypical of your world or threatens your comfort.

“You can go, y’know, if you want-“
“Ah, no. I do not want to,” Ilya interrupts. “Stay at home with my very sexy husband who is wearing his glasses, or go out to a club filled with people who are not you? The answer is very simple, Shane.”
Shane rolls his eyes again, but he’s smiling as he saunters towards Ilya.

Summary
“You didn’t like it the last time we tried it,” Shane said.
Ilya gave a one-shouldered shrug. “Was years ago. Maybe it is an acquired taste, like licorice.”
“You also don’t like licorice,” Shane pointed out.
“Yes, but I keep trying it because Luca likes it so much.”
“And then you make a face and tell him how awful it is.”
“When have I ever told you your dick is awful?” Ilya said, looking mildly offended. “I am its number one fan.”

Thoughtful summer cottage story that takes place after they've been playing for Ottawa together for a couple years. Lots of meditation on how they've learned and are still learning how to be in a good relationship together. Sweet and fun and hot with just a touch of melancholy.

Summary
“If I gave Jackie a day of getting to have sex with me whenever she wants as a thank you for tidying the living room, I think she’d divorce me,” Hayden says.
“Nah, man, she’d kill you,” J. J. says, which is probably true.
Shane shrugs. “That sounds like a straight people problem.”
Hayden is truly glad that the times of Shane torturing himself by being in the closet are over. But. Well. This conversation is kind of making him miss those days.
---
Finally, after everything, Shane is a happily married man. Incredibly happily married. It only becomes a problem once he thinks it qualifies him to dispense relationship advice.
Or, five times Shane gives relationship advice his friends disagree with, and one time he doesn’t.

“I want—I think we can do more. To… prepare the hockey world. So it isn’t so…”
“Surprising?” David offered into Yuna’s pause.
“So surprising,” she agreed. “If people could just see them together, they’d understand,” she added, warmth colouring her voice.
“The youths,” said David as he thought of the latest intern at work, “call that a soft launch.”

Summary
“I was trying to be cool about it.” Shane's confession is a quiet whine, muffled into his palms. “Go with the flow, y’know?”
It’s almost unbearable, how much Ilya adores this perfect, neurotic man. “Hollander,” he says patiently. “You have never once gone with flow. Not ever in your life.”
There is only one grey cloud in the perfect blue sky of Ilya’s summer.
His two weeks at the cottage are almost over, and Shane still hasn’t asked him to stay.

Summary
Before Felix could remove his headphones, he heard it. Heavy, borderline panicked breaths. Felix realized that it must be Hollander. His mic was not turned off when he left the interview. Footsteps. And then a door opening and closing. They had filmed the interview that morning at the offices of the Irina Foundation. It sounded like maybe he had gone into his office.
“Hey, what is it? What is wrong?” Another voice. Unmistakable anywhere. Even if Felix hadn’t spent weeks now listening to it, he would still have recognized Ilya Rozanov’s voice.

What if the filmmaker making the documentary about Hollander and Rozanov discovered the truth about their relationship. So he approaches Shane and Ilya about filming them over the course of the 2020/2021 season to create an honest documentary that tells the true story of their lives. Canon-divergent AU set during The Long Game.

The main fix-it I crave in the Heated Rivalry universe is Shane and Ilya getting an opportunity to come out in their own time and their own way and them choosing an active role in shaping public opinion when they do. This story is a very engaging version of that through an outsider POV and a lot of really satisfying moments and perspectives. Very entertaining and thoughtful story.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov has been drafted by Boston, the number one pick overall, but his father doesn't want him moving to America and so takes steps to block his visa. He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong.
It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it. Even though that something is the most reckless, the only reckless thing he's ever done in his life. He marries Rozanov in secret, to keep him out of Russia and put him on a path to Canadian citizenship.
Shane's got a five-year plan to get him there and when you have a plan nothing can go wrong. Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's.
Right???

Bookmarker's Notes
This is a lovely romance novel of a fic that makes for a great palate cleanser when the mood is right for a sweet and yearny wallow with a satisfyingly meandering happy ending. The question this story answers is, "What would change and what would stay the same if the 'slow burn while fucking the whole time' concept is retained from canon, but the guys have a lot more contact and trust in each other from day one?"

“Surprised?” Rozanov asks.
“There’s nothing – this is nothing,” Shane forces out.
“Soulmates is something,” Rozanov says.
“You know you should say Connected Person, not soulmate,” Shane says. “It’s old-fashioned and sugar-coating.”
Rozanov takes a drag of his cigarette and looks Shane up and down. “Sugar? You think is always sweet and fun?”

Shane and Ilya are soulmates. A lot of it is sweet, and some of it is hard.

Lovely and bittersweet and fun. I like the ways that being soulmates helped them connect earlier and understand each other earlier, and also all the ways their disparate communication styles and the oppressive structures they live under also keep them apart just like in canon.

Shane wasn't really a... 'good' gay. He knew it.
He was, however, an exceptional lesbian.
