  1. Summary

    A mostly crackfic series that asks, what if Shane and Ilya were slightly out of character? Shane is bitchier, Ilya is manic and philosophical, Cliff Marleau and the Boston boys take turns babysitting their crashing-out captain, and Shane finally gets recognized as the pretty, funny, sassy player he is.

    Nothing is too serious about this, it's a mix of show and book canon, and a healthy dose of fanon (himbo king Cliff). Ilya is allowed to catch feelings early, as a treat and Shane is allowed to let his inner mean girl out.

    Please enjoy these silly boys and their silly relationships! Four works so far with more to come! How much more? I don't know! They keep doing silly things and my brain keeps writing it down.

    Thanks for reading! 💕

    Summary

    In another timeline, Shane and Ilya hook up in room 1410, nothing goes wrong, and everything plays out exactly as we know it.

    In this one, Yuna Hollander walks in before Ilya can leave—and the seven-year situationship never gets the chance to start. Instead, through the power of miscommunication, Shane and Ilya start dating in 2010. With better support, they make better decisions. Their rivalry fizzles out before it ever has the chance to fully ignite, replaced instead by a beloved “bromance". In 2015, they come out to the NHL and the world.

    No one believes them.

     

    Or: Somehow, despite Shane and Ilya being out for two years, Scott Hunter is still considered the first openly gay player in the NHL, much to Ilya’s horror.

    The one where a CCM shoot ends with Yuna walking in and Ilya deciding that, yes, actually he would very much like to be locked down. VERY SWEET! My boys are so pure and love each other so much. Fluffy and sweet, strong characterization, strong prose. WIP waiting ch11

    Summary

    Hi Ilya,

    My name is Shane! I don’t speak Russian, I hope that’s okay. I’m also 25 years old and I love hockey too! So we have some things in common.

    I’ve never written an inmate before. I don’t really know why I’m doing this. I guess I’m lonely. I’m not very good at making friends or dating. I think maybe I can be a bit awkward in person, but I’m good at writing. So I hope that’s okay.

    or Shane Hollander finds Ilya Rozanov on WriteAPrisoner.com and sends him an email.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Oh Ilya's in prison and I am fully supporting Shane’s near-delusional ability to ignore the red flags. Shane is right where he wants to be! What's that? Prisoner Ilya is crazy-crazy, like FOR REAL crazy? That's fine. Everyone is having fun. Shane is gonna giggle and kick his feet about Ilya's tattoo and imaginary wedding.

    HONEY BUN SHANE AND UNHINGED VIOLENT ILYA I'LL PROTECT YOU BOTH! (Hayden and Sveta you should prly keep your head on swivel, just in case).

    WIP, waiting ch4

    Summary

    Ask Ilya Rozanov and he’d tell you that the only thing worse than being a broke PhD student was being a broke PhD student facing eviction from your Humans Only rent-controlled apartment because you maybe, accidentally got yourself Turned over summer break.

    Cue the Bloodbanker$ app and its allegedly discreet and lucrative arrangements: a whole swipeable nest of generous Vamp4Vamp ‘Donors’ waiting for the perfect fledgling to spoil.

    Seducing an old rich dude with this hot bod? Light work.

    ‘Shane, 30*, O+’ wouldn’t know what hit him.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    What's that? Oh just 20K words of PERFECT world building, fun vampire lore, sexy Ilya/Shane vampire sex, protective Shane, sugar baby Ilya, Shane fucking murders a guy for Ilya and Ilya's chill about it, someone finally puts some RESPECT on Mothman's name (except I refuse to believe they're not ACTUALLY cheeked up), Yuna absolutely WOULD be the momager version of Queen Akasha, like this is a PERFECT 10.

    What makes a piece of writing perfect, Mae? NOT A SINGLE WASTED WORD! All of it funny, charming, heartfelt or all of the above, baby!

     

    The one where Ilya wins MVP for locking down all time nerd and lover-boy, Prince of the Vampires, Friend of Mothmen, panic-venmo-er, THE Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    Right after Shane wins the 2011 Rookie of the Year award, he makes a wild suggestion: Ilya could spend the following day with him.

    They end up doing a few boring activities, like hiking, reading, or getting married.

    What follows is a long-distance, highly secret, frustrating, and completely loving married life, while still being arch-rivals to the rest of the world.

    Summary

    This is boring.

    The thought floated across Shane’s brain like one of those banners tied to the tail of a plane. Or maybe like a screensaver on a nineties computer, one that would have been in a separate room from the rest of the house.

    Or maybe he was just coming up with different descriptors for it to distract from how boring it was.

    The whole thing would be mildly more interesting if Shane were at all interested in cars or how they worked. But he wasn’t, no matter how much his husband tried to convince him to be, so a luxury car auction was not exactly his idea of fun on the first vacation they had had together in two years.

    Or, Shane attends at a high-end car auction, and sits next to the most handsome man he’s ever seen.

    That man is not his husband.
