    Summary

    “Boys, I need you to be on your best behavior,” Ilya said seriously before shout-whispering: “Our new teammate is hockey royalty.”

    Shane would have rolled his eyes if he wouldn’t have been mortified by how quiet the room suddenly turned. He raised his free hand to wave awkwardly before presenting himself: “Hi, I’m Shane - uhm, Hollander. It’s good to be here.”

    “Shane Motherfucking Hollander is on our team.”

    It must have been Dykstra that broke the silence and before Shane could react, the guys were already getting closer, greeting him with tight handshakes and big smiles. Most of them have attended their impromptu wedding so theoretically, it wasn’t their first time meeting, but the enthusiasm seemed to have remained the same, all the attention making blood rush to Shane’s freckled cheeks.

    Ilya had to force himself not to smother him with kisses right there and then.

    OR

    Shane's first season as a Centaur comes with a lot of ups and downs but thankfully for him, the love of his life is by his side every step of the way ♡

    Summary

    They then ask Shane to move his fingers and lift his arms. He does both no problem and the medics tell him good job. The medic takes off Shane’s skates. They ask him to wiggle his toes.

    Nothing happens.

     

    A play on a line from Heated Rivalry following Shane's injury “Oh god what if I’m not ok? What if I never walk again." A story of loss, growth, and love.

    (Disclaimer: This is my first fic, I'm not a doctor, I don't speak Russian, and I don't know anything about hockey. Don't think too hard.)

    Summary

    “There is one more thing. Given the nature of your fall and the force of impact, we ran a full battery of blood tests to check for any internal issues. Everything looks normal, except for one result that… stood out.”

    Shane’s stomach tightened. Stood out?

    “Given your secondary gender presentation and hormone levels, we also ran a standard pregnancy panel,” she said, her words measured and clear. “And the test came back positive."

    For a moment, the words didn’t land. They floated in the air like dust in the sunlight.

    Positive.

    Pregnancy panel.

    Then, all at once, they crashed into him.

     

    or

     

    Shane Hollander discovers he is pregnant while at the hospital after getting hit in the ice by Marleau in a Boston vs. Montreal Match and after inviting Ilya Rozanov to his cottage.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are solid.

    Married. Stable. Established. The NHL’s favorite “we didn’t see that coming” love story turned domestic success.

    They have a house. A dog that likes Ilya better. A shared calendar that Shane actually uses.

    They’ve learned how to grocery shop without arguing about brands of pasta.

    They are, objectively, fine.

    Which is precisely the problem.

    Somewhere between sponsorship shoots, playoff runs, and arguing over whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher, the fire that once burned hot enough to survive secrecy and rivalry has… softened. Not gone. Not broken. Just familiar.
    Comfortable. Predictable.

    When a league marketing campaign crowns them “Hockey’s Ultimate Love Story” and assigns a documentary crew to follow them around for the season, Shane jokingly tells Ilya:
    “Guess you’re going to have to fall in love with me again on camera.”

    Ilya smirks. “Please. I could make you fall in love with me again in one week.”

    It’s a joke.

    Until it becomes a challenge.

    such a good ache

    Summary

    “Shane.” Ilya takes Shane’s head in his hands, squeezes his cheeks so that Shane looks puffy, absurd. Beloved. “I am saying that to me, even though you are retired, you will always be No. 1 hockey player. Fuck Wayne Gretzky.”

    That’s what does it, as Ilya knew it would. Shane rears back, spluttering, outraged, trying not to laugh.

    “Oh, I have committed blasphemy now. They will take back my citizenship, big crime, very sad.”

    Shane smoothes his hands along Ilya’s calves, rests his fingertips on Ilya’s ankles. “Fuck Wayne Gretzky,” he says. He looks like he can’t believe what he’s saying. Ilya wonders, distantly, if he can get it on tape to play back to himself when things feel particularly bleak. “We can live in exile together. I don’t care. You’re my, my best, my second best hockey player forever too.”

    --

    Shane decides he has to retire. Ilya, of course, will go with him.
