Change Your Win Conditions by Vee (Vera_DragonMuse) (@dragonmuse) 103k, E, Complete | Canon divergent AU where Ilya had a career-ending injury before he & Shane could reconnect at the All Star game in Tampa, set two years later when Ilya is a coach for the Centaurs and Shane signs with Ottawa.

Haunting Your City by mightyd0lphin 93k, E, Complete. Ilya gets into a fight and gets traded to Montreal. He and Shane try to be Just Platonic Friends at first. Which goes super well. Some of the best written angst (with a happy ending) I have EVER read. Had me clawing at my face over it.

death and taxes (and shane hollander) by fingersfallingupwards (@fingersfallingupwards) 68k, E, Complete | This is slightly under 70k but only barely, and it’s SO GOOD. Second chance romance with old man hollanov where the cottage never happened, they ended things 20yrs ago, Shane is now the deputy NHL commissioner and Ilya is a college hockey coach. They get in touch again because of an incident with Ilya’s teenage son, who just got drafted to the Montreal Metros. SOOOOO much yearning. EDIT: This author just dropped a part 2 of this fic called on winning and losing (and ilya rozanov). Currently 89k words and WIP!

the ten step plan by WriteThroughTheNight 96k, M, Complete | Shane tells a teeny white lie about there being people in the hallway after one of their first hookups and ends up spending the night. Things move much faster and the timeline on their relationship is moved up. They work on a ten step plan to be together long term. Soooo sweet and romantic.

I have only two emotions (careful fear and dead devotion) by tiredtiredsharl (@wolfiemcwolferson) 178k, E, Complete | Canon divergent, Shane disappears from the hockey world before getting drafted to Montreal.

Say You’ll Haunt Me by eddiemunsterwashere 143k, M, Complete | TLG AU where the Montreal Voyageurs’ plane is the one that gets in trouble and actually crashes. A really deep dive into healing trauma for both of them. Happy ending, ofc.

think twice (and come back for a third time) by lipsticktraces 70k, E, Complete | Ilya ends things with Shane in 2017, life goes on for both of them. Shane gets a bf. Ilya gets depressed, goes through a hard time, and strikes up a friendship with Yuna Hollander. A great getting back together au. Angsty, emotional, romantic.

Chernobog by boopboop (@boopifer) 258k, E, WIP | Ilya disappears from the league in 2017 and Shane never hears from him again. In 2020, Ilya resurfaces as a coach for the Ottawa Centaurs after three years of hell. Shane tracks Ilya down and they reconnect, and start to unpick what happened to him. Heavy!

Countdown by Letter4No1

83k, M, Complete | Follows the year after the cottage when Ilya is still in Boston and he and Shane are doing long distance while planning for a future. Insanely good dialogue!

I’ll build a house inside of you by jtimu (@jtimu)

67k, E, Complete | Jusssst under the 70k mark but holy shit! This is so good and will absolutely fulfill your long fic needs. Visa-related marriage of convenience after Ilya gets hacked circa late 2014 and both of them get outed after a video of them circulates. Really good angst, emotions, dialogue.

the practical (accidental) acquisition of a husband by cherrylilies

157k, E, WIP | Another marriage of convenience fic!! Mid hook up era, someone posts an incriminating photo of Shane leaving Ilya’s hotel room. Shane panics and posts about a non-existent engagement to protect Ilya. Ilya goes along with it for safety. They both think the other feels forced into it and are holding back. Crazy good. Made me feel insane.

Closer to where you are (is where I must be) by sistercacao (@scacao-blog)

127k, E, Complete | Shane and Ilya play an exhibition game against each other in Paris (instead of the ASG in Tampa) and stay behind an extra day to talk. A volcano erupts and disrupts international air travel, so they get stranded in Paris together for a week. Romance ensues! So much yearning in this one.

influential men by lyric_ghost (@lyricghost)

90k, E, Complete | Shane is the captain of the Boston Raiders and becomes enamoured with hockey / fitness influencer Ilya. Really fun seeing how this rship might happen if some of the pressures were removed. Fun plot stuff occurring! Very romantic! I loved being in Shane’s head for this one. Go read without spoilers!!!!

oh well, I guess we're gonna find out! by angel_deux

95k, M, Complete | Zombie apocalypse AU! Shane and Ilya end up thrown together trying to survive the end of the world together after the MLH awards in Vegas. Years of closeness and codependency and romance and yearning afoot.

congrats on the milestone! 🩵 hudcon rehearsing kissing for the fic prompt thing 💙

thank you anon for playing and sending a prompt! here you go 🌻

constructive criticism (901 words)

“Do you think,” Connor says, one night when the credits of the movie they just watched have rolled, and all that’s between them is the warm darkness of his apartment, “it’s gonna be weird when we kiss?”

“Hm.” Hudson does not want to disclose how often he’s been thinking about this particular milestone in their three-week-old friendship. Connor’s curls tickle his forehead, his body warm under Hudson’s back. “Maybe a bit. Probably time I told you I’m a virgin.”

Connor snorts a laugh, pinching his arm. Hudson squirms happily under the clench in his bicep behind his neck. He likes the way Connor manhandles him when he wants to make a point: squeezing his sides, slapping his back. Fake-biting his shoulder. Yesterday Hudson had put his hand over his mouth and got a wet bite-kiss in revenge. It had left both of them a bit breathless and once again Hudson would prefer not to focus on how long he spent thinking about it last night.

“Virgins can be little sluts for kissing still.”

“Oh, is that what I am? A little slut? How very insulting of you. I’ll get you cancelled for saying that.”

“I knew you were having second thoughts about me being cast.”

“Yeah, it’s been a total nightmare so far.”

Connor’s hand dangles by Hudson’s face. He reaches for his finger, gently manipulating his fingers to open and close. Every time he touches Connor he’s gently pushing a new boundary. But Connor lets him. He kind of wants to put his fingers in his mouth. The thought sends a shiver down to his belly.

“You didn’t answer,” Connor says again, voice closer to his ear. Hot breath. Like his lips are only an inch from his skin. “Don’t you think it will be weird?”

“Starting to think you think it’ll be weird, Con-Con.”

“And if I do?”

Hudson lifts his head from where it had been resting on his shoulder. Connor’s face is very close. This kind of thing keeps happening. Not sure why, like they’re kinda magnetised to each other, but if Connor doesn’t think it’s worth mentioning Hudson won’t point it out. Until coming to Toronto he’d only ever cuddled on the couch with his girlfriends or maybe his mom when he was a kid. But when Connor’s next to him it’s like he can’t help rolling into him. He realises suddenly it’s been way too long since Connor spoke.

“Well, uh.” The words come out before he can really regret them. “We could, you know. Pull the old middle school routine.” Connor raises his eyebrows like, elaborate? “You know. Wanna do some practise kissing?” He says it with a squeaky adolescent timbre. A huge grin spreads on Connor’s beautiful face. And oh, it’s a problem. Such a problem how hit-me-round-the-head-dizzy Connor makes him. He gets these weird intense crushes on guys sometimes but he’s never had it when they like to get so up close to him before. When there’s the cast-iron prospect of kissing hurtling towards them on the horizon.

“Wow,” Connor says, biting his lip. “Mr Smooth Talker over here. I bet the girls were falling over themselves for you, huh?”

Hudson rolls his eyes. “Okay, no need to be a dick about it. I was just saying.”

He doesn’t see it coming. A quick swoop, eagle pouncing on its prey. A hot mouth pressed roughly against his lips. The tip of a wet tongue. Hudson opens his mouth, letting it in. Melting into it.

“Mm,” Connor says, when they part. Hudson keeps their foreheads knocked together, wanting more. Hands cupping his jaw, pulling him in, and oh, fuck. Connor’s stubble is rough and his tongue thick and insistent. His chin ends up smeared with spit, body twisted, hands pulling him into Connor’s lap. Rehearsing some of the moves they know they’ll have to play. He tightens his hands in Connor’s hair and thinks, Jesus. We get to do this for weeks.

“Huddy,” Connor says against his lips, and Hudson realises he’s pushing him back gently. A soft rose blush to his cheeks. Can’t meet his eyes. And yeah, Hudson can feel why. He shifts back on Connor’s thighs so it’s not so obvious.

“Sorry.” But why’s he sorry? It’s like practising a sales presentation. Perfecting a new recipe in the kitchen. It’s going to be their job. “Wait, um, I’m not sorry, actually. It’s important it’s good. Means it’ll look good on camera. That, uh, is a kind of side effect, right? Won’t happen on set.” Too many eyes and lights and cameras. Except he isn’t quite sure how long they were kissing because his entire brain switched off. But there’s relief in Connor’s eyes. Smile’s back. He squeezes Hudson’s ass, sliding him back into his lap.

“Yeah. Okay.” He bites his lip again. Hudson smoothes a thumb over his cheekbone. Oh, they will definitely need to be doing this once a day. Maybe even twice. To get the rhythm right. “You kiss too good to be Shane, though.”

“I’ll take that backhanded compliment,” Hudson murmurs, touching the tips of their noses together. “Wanna practise some more? It gets me so hot when you give me critical notes after every round.”

“Oh shut up,” Connor says, but he’s laughing, and they’re kissing, and kissing, and kissing, like it’s the only thing in the world, like they’ll drown without it. Though maybe Jacob and Chala don’t need to know too much about it.
