“This is—This is Jane. I swear to god if you don’t open the door right now, I’m leaving. I’m not staying in the streets waiting at your front door, you asshole. Do you think it’s fun? Because I don’t—[Sound of a door creaking open] Ah, hey—”

Does anyone have the number for Shane's girl from Boston? I feel bad that they've been seeing each other for this long and we've never added her here.
Jackie
Oh good point! Let me ask Hayden.
Jackie has added Lily to the conversation
Lily
what
what is this
Or: Ilya Rozanov is, apparently, one of the girls.
jackie & lily world domination - goldengalaxies (3,547 | NR | Humor, Social Media)
Jackie
No offence but this is not what I expected from Shane’s girlfriend.
Lily (Shane)
I know he is so boring and I am so fun
Lily (Shane)
But opposites attract is the saying, no?
Lily (Shane)
Also I am not girlfriend
Jackie
Why not!!
Jackie
Sorry that was nosy
Lily (Shane)
Is okay
Lily (Shane)
Is complicated
Lily (Shane)
But I cannot let him go because he gives head like champion
Jackie

Smile for you, laugh like you - Anonymous (3,731 | T | Texting, Pre-Relationship)
Me: Why didn’t you tell me that this((( THIS((( is all something that isn’t used in English. I didn’t know.
Lily: ah))
Lily: is cute when you use it
Lily: like little dog who learned new trick
Lily: makes me proud
After years of increased back and forth by message with Ilya Rozanov, Shane picks up one of his texting habits, unaware that it is a Russian texting slang.
I can see it, your face is glowin' - joldiego (4,051 | T | Misunderstandings, Humor, Coming Out)
Shane is stooped over to strap on his shin guards when his phone buzzes once in Hayden’s hand.
He doesn’t mean to tap the notification.
And oh god, does he wish he could un-tap the fucking notification.
Because why the fuck has Lily, Shane’s mysterious Boston hook-up of several years (no matter how fervently he denies it), sent him a picture of a fucking sonogram.
Black and white, blurry, and undeniably baby-shaped.
Ilya makes a joke, Hayden breaks Shane’s phone, and a comedy of errors ensues.

The history of Hollanov, primarily as seen through the MLH Tracker on Twitter.
The Montreal Girl - some1_around (5,868 | NR | 5+1 , Humor, Friendship)
Five times Ilya lied (but not really) to his teammates about Shane, and one time he didn’t have to.
Inspired by two Cliff Marlow lines: In the airport, when their game with Montreal gets cancelled and he tells Ilya, “Whoever she is, she’s gonna get over it,” and the scene in the locker room when he says, “Wow, this Montreal girl works you up, brother—you’re straight up blushing, Roz.”
Or, the Boston Bears’ perspective of Ilya and Shane’s “secret” relationship over the years
Baby by Me - Anonymous (7,465 | T | Crack treated seriously | MPreg (kinda) )
It clicks.
The reason why Rozanov was acting so fucking weird, why he was only checking on his rival so late at night, why Rozanov didn’t want Marlow to even have a glimpse into what was behind that door.
Holy shit.
--
In which a single misunderstanding spirals into becoming the MHL's greatest secret: Shane Hollander is pregnant.
Deep Misunderstanding - some1_around (9,071 | T | Angst, Character Study, POV Hayden Pike)
“Am I a bad friend?”
Hayden has always been the guy Shane joked with, the guy he trusted to feed him without mocking him, the guy he roomed with on the road, and Shane is the only man who has ever seen Hayden cry, and Hayden loves Shane. He fucking loves him. They are like brothers, and they have been for almost ten fucking years. He’s always been Shane’s guy, Shane’s best friend.
Except all along, maybe that wasn’t true. Ilya Rozanov, apparently, had been the guy. Before Hayden had ever met Shane, Ilya Rozanov had been there. And Hayden had never even noticed.
Shane is all over every inch of Hayden’s life. Hayden thought that was reciprocal.
Lingua Russia - GrendelsMother (17,128 | NR | Cat and Mouse, Major Original Characters)
That’s wild, man. That is just weird.” Yannic paused. “You really think someone speaks Russian but is hiding it from you and just using it to do nice things for you?”
“Well, that is the question. Why would anyone do that? Why not just say they speak Russian?” Rodion had been wondering this all morning.
… … … …
A side story wherein Shane accidentally reveals that he speaks Russian while still playing for Montreal, which results in a cat and mouse game with a minor leaguer.
I Like Jane For You - icopythefaxm (17,661 | M | Sexting, Secret Relationship, Coming Out)
After a mix-up leaves Hayden with the wrong phone for three days, he ends up learning more about Ilya Rozanov and his secret girlfriend, Jane.
Another Hayden-Finds-Out, because we can't have too many.
*now with the extra continuing Hayden-Rozanov friendship text threads*
One Dead, Two Souls Gone - Sunshine_Raye (20,007 | M | MCD, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Gun violence, Suicide, Hurt No Comfort)
Each moment felt as if they were running from one place to the next. Chasing feelings they barely knew the names of and grasping at gaps in time. Holding on to them and fitting them into the most unlikely of places. They had an hour at this hotel, a single week at Ilya's apartment, a long weekend at Shane’s cottage. Each meeting was ephemeral, just as their relationship was proving to be.
Just as Shane Hollander was proving to be.
OR Shane and Ilya discover just how prominent gun violence can be in spaces with large crowds.
*I apologize in advance if you read this.. It had me SOBBING
and i spit out the seeds. - linearity (24,200 | E | Sex Tapes, Coming Out)
A video of Shane sucking Ilya’s dick is leaked. Over the next twenty-four hours, Ilya goes on an odyssey.
Lose This Number - ibumblebee (25,789 | T | Angst with a Happy Ending, Miscommunication)
This needs to end. He doesn't want to see Rozanov again. Ever. He’s done with this. He can’t do just sex anymore, that much he knows. And if that’s what Rozanov wants, he sure as hell hasn't got any trouble finding willing bed partners in any city it seems, something Shane has spent more time than he is willing to admit thinking about. No, he needs to end this now.
Jane: Lose this number
Jane: I mean it, don’t fucking text me ever again
OR, Shane believes Ilya paid him to have sex with him and freaks out. Ilya doesn't understand why he's been blocked, but fuck Shane if he thinks Ilya is going to let them end like this.
something you can fix - some1_around (26,824 | M | Angst, Outing, Hurt/Comfort, Homophobia)
Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.
it’s the terror of knowing what this world is about - PrincessAmericaChavez (29,722 | T | Graphic Depictions of Violence, Angst with a Happy Ending, Hostage Situations, Gun Violence)
He’s about to unlock the door when his phone buzzes, no doubt with an apology or an explanation. Someone screams outside of the bathroom. There’s a loud noise. More screams. What the-
His phone buzzes again.
Jane: don’t come out
Jane: hide
Jane: guns
Jane: idk what’s happening
Jane: call the cops
Or
Shane, Ilya, Scott Hunter and a bunch of MHL players find themselves in a hostage situation in the middle of the Las Vegas award ceremony. (Mid-situationship, the year pre-tuna melt).
Bostons worst nightmare (you have 81 unread messages) - immersivemediaI (31,219 | WAG Ilya Rozanov, Coming Out_
It's 2016 and Ilya Rozanov has just been added to the WAG group chat as his alias lily, he is immediately befriended by them! There's one problem though... they don't know his true identity and wine night is in 3 weeks.
Readers do not be put off by word count, most of the story is inserted through images of text conversations :3
Concussion Protocol - cjr2 (49,003 | E | Hurt/Comfort, Major Character Injury, Explicit Sexual Content)
Instead of Shane, it is Ilya who suffers a concussion during the Boston-Montreal game in April 2017. Dazed and agitated, Ilya briefly starts speaking and responding only in Russian and the medics can’t calm him down. Luckily, Shane started studying Russian after Ilya spoke to him in Russian on the phone from Moscow. For no particular reason. Certainly not because he’s fallen in love with Ilya Rozanov.
In Montreal with lingering concussion symptoms, Ilya is advised not to fly home for a few days, and the hospital won’t release him without assurances that he has someone to stay with him until his symptoms improve. Luckily, Shane conveniently has a condo in Montreal no one knows about and a few days before he has to travel again.
But Ilya’s symptoms don’t resolve after a few days. Which is okay; Shane can handle it. He can take care of Ilya, study Russian, lead his team into the playoffs, and keep Ilya’s continued presence in Montreal a secret. He can do everything, no problem. He is Shane Hollander after all.

A whump fanfiction that is secretly a fix-it.
The Game Plan. - FestiveFerret , pouringinsheets (64,024 | E | Fake Mariage, Enemies to lovers, Homophobia_
Shane Hollander is the number two overall NHL draft pick and a newly minted Montreal Voyageur. He’s also laser focused on his goals: being the best by beating the best. For him, this means a continued rivalry with number one draft pick—and new Ottawa Centaur—Ilya Rozanov. But when a problem with Rozanov’s immigration paperwork threatens his future in the NHL, what does that mean for Shane’s own career? He can’t risk finding out…so they get married. Just for immigration. A fast, practical, mutually beneficial solution.
No one will ever suspect, let alone find out, that the NHL’s greatest rivals are secretly married. And there’s certainly no risk of feelings getting involved. They have a game plan.
something you can build - some1_around (96,881 | M | Humor, Banter, Outing)
Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.
It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.
With or Without You - a1phab3ts0up (109,668 | M | Accidental Marriage, Rivals to Friends to Lovers)
“Is it your wedding day?”
Shane sputters. “Sorry?”
“The tuxedo,” she points out. “You look like you just got married.”
“Oh,” Shane says dumbly, glancing down at his rumpled suit. “No,” he adds.
Or the one where that one night in Vegas gets a little out of hand for Ilya and Shane and a marriage by accident could turn into one of convenience. And maybe, something more.
