    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is having a very good night. He’s scored a goal, his edges are perfect, and his chirping of the Vegas Golden Knights’ roster is reaching art-form levels of arrogance. But hockey is a game of physics and ruts in the ice, and it only takes one meaningless check in the third period for Ilya’s season to shatter in a single, sickening crack.

    Three hundred miles away, Shane Hollander is forced to watch the replay in a silent equipment room.

    When Shane finally breaks and calls Boston forward Cliff Marlow, he expects to be met with confusion or hostility. Instead, he finds that the Boston Bears have been keeping a secret for years— and Shane starts to realize the differences between Montreal and Boston span further than he was ever ready for.

    What follows is meddling teammates who insist on doing laundry, PT that involves more sitting and standing reps than really feels necessary, and a boyfriend who is one research paper away from a medical degree. Plus, so much kale.

    Or: The one where Ilya breaks his leg, the Bears decide they love Shane Hollander, and everyone argues over who gets to be who in NHL 18.

    Summary

    ”Shut up you both, I’m thinking.” Cliff interrupted. “It needs to be embarrassing. You were definitely making me do something embarrassing.”

    Ilya caught his chest dramatically. “I would never. I’d make you drink more vodka. And buy me some more vodka. All of us. We should drink some more right now, I think.” There was a round of agreement around the table, and Ilya registered someone leaving to order more drinks. He nodded with approval at that.

    “I have an idea.” Marlow threw his arm around Ilya's shoulders. “You, my friend, will go to one of Hollander’s games, wearing Hollander’s jersey, and you will cheer for him like the biggest fan that you apparently are.“ Cliff’s smile, Ilya thought, was a little evil.

    Drunk Ilya loses a bet, and he's challenged to wear Hollander's jersey to his game.

    He's not entirely unhappy with the idea.

    Summary

    AU where Shane dated Jackie (when he was 17/she was 18), before she Clocked His Sweet Gay Ass, kept his secret and his friendship, and then met Hayden. Shortly thereafter, they meet Ilya.

    (Because I love an outsider POV on Hollanov and an earlier outing for Shane, but I'm also really into our collective love for WAG president, Mrs. Jackie Pike. This is a Jackie Pike Character Takeover AU wherein she's a bit of an amalgamation of Shane’s in-book, vaguely alluded-to teenage girlfriend, and Rose before Rose Rose’d lol.)

    Summary

    “This is my fucking nightmare,” Shane says again, quieter now, like if he lowers his voice the thing itself might shrink into something he can get his hands around. “This is my actual fucking nightmare.”

    “Okay,” Ilya says, voice gentle but firm. “Then maybe, it’s time to wake up?”

    Shane inhales. The breath stutters halfway in, catches, then forces its way through anyway. He lets it out and back in slowly. Then he does it again, and again and two more times.

    When Ilya speaks again his words come slower.

    “The girl,” He says gently. “That was… your sister?”
    ***
    AU where Shane had a daughter w/ a comp-het fueled hookup before he met Ilya -- and there’s more than one secret that comes out in the wash at the cottage.

    Summary

    The soundproofing in room 1221 is exactly as bad as Shane fears. He and Rozanov can hear every word as Scott Hunter engages in a deeply depressing annual ritual, and decide offering comfort is more important than keeping things a secret.

    It sparks a friendship that ends up changing more than just the trajectory of those three men's lives.
