    Summary

    Scent patches were mandatory for anyone participating in World Junior's, but a lot of the Russian guys Shane saw in the hotel or around the rink had them loosely attached to their necks or not quite centered over their scent gland. Shane had been on his way to his parents' car when the wind shifted, and he smelled that Rozanov, leaning against the wall and not-at-all-surreptitiously fishing a carton of cigarettes out of his pocket, must have been one of them.

    Summary

    "Chlamydia?" Ilya has never heard Hollander's voice reach such heights in the absence of a cock. "You have chlamydia?"

    "I did not get it on purpose," Ilya complains.

    Summary

    Ilya, golden-haired and laughing on the ice. Ilya, his eyes glinting with smoldering, amorous desire. Ilya, fast asleep, curled up next to him, his mouth open, drooling on the pillow.

    Even when they fight, Shane will occasionally have to bite back that knee-jerk reaction of want, that sharp pang of need that rises when Ilya gets so annoyed he slips into Russian, when he throws his head back, his curls rustling, and gestures at Shane like, can you believe this shit?

    Shane doesn't think he'll ever get tired of looking at him, of soaking him in. What a relief it is to be able to.

    OR: Shane & Ilya are deeply, desperately in love.

    Summary

    It took a moment for Ilya’s brain to catch up.

    “My father knows about me and Shane?”

    “The whole world knows about you and Shane! Did you not hear me?”

    Or: Shane's phone is stolen in Sochi. They're outed and and have to go on the run together to get out of Russia before being caught by the Russian authorities.

    really thrilling but also remarkably plausible? one of the few Russia centric HR stories that isn’t outlandish to the point of xenophobia. loved the level of detail.

    Summary

    Jaw Man flicked his middle finger up at Ilya, who didn’t seem to mind, and gestured towards Shane and Hayden with raised eyebrows. “The f*** are you even doing right now, man.”

    Ilya said briefly, “Orgy.”

    “Uh,” said Shane, “no, that’s not—”

    Ilya grinned at him. It was a mean-edged grin but something about it seemed to suggest that he was joking with Shane, rather than about him. “Oh, he speaks.”

    “We’re not here for an orgy,” Shane said to Jaw Man. “We’re missionaries with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    so lovely and earnest. vast improvement on the book of mormon.

    Ilya characterised particularly well...

    really captured the sorrow of having to love someone who is clinging to something that is obviously bad for them. you don't want to alienate them or push so hard they flee from you, but sometimes you just want to shake them and other times you are so sad for them and just want to save them or pull them out yourself, and you can't. you can plant seeds but there needs to be some small initial willingness or openness from the person for them to take root. great sex certainly helps !

    Summary

    Ilya widens his eyes, moves his hands in an impatient “get on with it” motion. He has the urge to say it for him, end both their misery. Shane blinks rapidly a few times, takes another deep breath. “I want to stop,” he says simply.

    Ilya lets out one humorless laugh, “Stop what?”

    Shane ignores him. “At the All Star Game, I told you I liked you. And you said about Russia and your family. And I looked some things up. I get it. I get it better now. I know we can’t but I can’t stop wanting to be…more. Unless we stop.”

    OR

    Shane just wants to be friends and Ilya is, like, fine with that or whatever

    Summary

    Shane breathes in deep, a contented little sigh, and then pauses for another long time. Just slightly tensed, like he’s preparing himself for something, but Ilya doesn’t really have the chance to worry before he says, “I had…a good time tonight.”
    “Mm, was good night,” Ilya murmurs. Kisses hair, kisses eyebrow. “Nice dinner, nice weather.”
    “Yeah, it was nice,” Shane murmurs. He sighs, clears his throat. “Thank you for such a nice first date.”
    Ilya mouths first date to himself, mind running to figure out what that could mean in this context.
    Then Shane shifts and says, “I wasn’t sure what to expect when you asked me out.”
    Ah.

    Shane decides to play a game. Ilya is exactly where he wants to be.

    Summary

    When Shane pulls away, he swallows audibly and the breath catches in his throat when he says, “There’s something you should know, too. Um, before.”
    Ilya traces a thumb over his lips, pouts his own to show he’s listening. “Hm?”
    “I’m a man,” Shane says, carefully.
    Ilya scoffs. “Obviously. I’m not—”
    “No, no, I mean—I’m a man. You need to remember that. Because—”
    “Oh,” Ilya murmurs. He brings his other hand up, settles it in the curve of Shane’s neck. “I understand."

    A hockey player and the most beautiful man he's ever seen walk into a bar.

    Summary

    Up to this point, Svetlana had simply assumed Jane had a good mouth, or big tits, or let Ilya do unspeakable things to her. Ilya never spares her the details when they discuss their sex lives—he can get quite crude with it, actually. Sometimes Svetlana wishes he’d tone it down.

    Ilya doesn’t get quiet about the people he fucks. He gets crass. He gets specific.

    So when he doesn’t say something distasteful along the lines of you should see how she bounces on it, Sveta, you’d get why I don’t mind keeping her around, alarms start blaring in her head.

    There’s something he’s not telling her.

    (or, Svetlana suspects who Jane is. Then she thinks she knows. Then she knows for sure.)

    Summary

    Hollander stepped closer to the windowsill. Between a pair of empty designer vases sat a cheap ceramic lucky cat, white, with one paw raised. Hollander brushed his thumb over a small chip in the glaze. Somehow, looking was never enough for him. Whenever he liked something – the picture in the living room, the leaf, now this cat – he reached out and touched. Ilya remembered how, the night of their first hook-up, Hollander had touched him first too: fingers curling around Ilya’s arm, as though physical contact were the only way to make sure he was real.

    ***

    House fic! Ilya longs for a home house. (Un)fortunately, his hockey nemesis is a hopeless real estate and architecture nerd.

    A reimagining of the drought years (2011-13 - less of a drought in this version...) with heaps of yearning, some angst, Ilya driving fast cars, Shane drawing floor plans, the Hollanders, and cats. They take turns rescuing each other until they find their way home.

    Now complete!

    Summary

    Cliff watches him squeeze the phone between his cheek and shoulder, lifting the jersey over his head as he continues to talk, a bit distracted now by the multitasking.

    “And was good practice, you know, for when I am your husband."

    Immediately, the locker room goes dead silent. And so does Rozanov, in fact.

    In which Ilya accidentally calls himself Shane's future husband in the middle of the Bears locker room. Worse still, they're not even dating yet.

    Summary

    Sasha has seen plenty of pictures of Ilya’s husband of course, on Ilya and Sveta’s socials, and in the media. He is, unfairly, even more attractive in person, though he holds himself just as awkwardly as he does in photos.

    “Very pretty,” Sasha says. “You know it’s not usually my preference, but I’d fuck him.”

    “Careful, Sasha,” Ilya says.

    “You used to be happy to share,” Sasha tells him. “Are you worried he would be up for it? Green isn’t a good colour on you, Ilyusha.”

    ---

    Or, five times Shane and Ilya show jealousy in front of others, and one time they keep it between themselves.

    Summary

    Shane’s brain cycled rapidly through a half-dozen celebrities, porn actors, Grindr profiles, every attractive bartender who’d ever served him a beer, trying to find a comparison for this level of outrageously concentrated beauty in one person, but he was drawing a blank.

    The man—Ilya Rozanov, Facilities Attendant, his badge read—gestured around the supply closet. “I help you find something?”

    Canon-divergent AU set during the 2017-18 MLH season. Shane Hollander doesn’t have a single Cup to his name when he meets a very hot and very annoying janitor who works at the Metros stadium.
