🏑Leaves on a High Note by Elderwanderer - rated E
Instead of flying back to Boston after and extended Cottage vacation, Shane unilaterally decides a road trip is in order. Ilya doesn't argue, so long as he can pick the music.
🏑So Sweet With A Mean Streak by the_prettiest_w0lf_star - rated E
“Three more games and I'll pulverize your fifty goal record,” Ilya chirps, halfway through the meal.
“You wish,” Shane scoffs halfheartedly – knowing full well he won't stand a chance in a conversation with Ilya on fire like this, avoidant as he always has been. The commentators and coaches always pride him for being level headed, when instead he's just afraid of verbal sparring.
“Tell you what,” Shane offers, "You'll break the record and you'll get whatever you want. A trip to Disney or a garage to start that car collection you're dreaming of.”
“Whatever I want?”
“Whatever you want."
🏑A Tattoo is Worth a Thousand Words by Champagne_Supern0va - rated G
Have you ever wondered why Ilya got the tattoos he has and if he ever got more? Then this fic is for you.
🏑"Fuck You Too. Surprise Me." by cold_blooded_jelly_doughnut - rated E
After a breathtaking win against Ilya Rozanov and the Boston Raiders, Shane asks his biggest rival to surprise him.
🏑Hungry by fruitybashir - rated E
“Turns you on, yeah?” He doesn’t need to hear confirmation, he can read Shane like an open book. “Did they show my face on TV? My blood on the ice? That get you hard?”
Enjoy, and we'll be back tomorrow with more of our favorite hockey boys!

🏑wait for me, I'm coming to you by Dory_thewritingfish - rated E
You all know the Story of Orpehus and Eurydice, but what if it was Shane and Ilya?
🏑Squills by notverypunkof me - rated E
He wonders if he could ask Hollander for something like that. To play with his hair. To crawl under the blanket with him just to share their warmth, not to fuck. If he could want something - ask something of Hollander - just one time.
To be cared for is a primary need, after all - for Ilya Rozanov too, whether he likes it or not.
🏑Tape Job by Heatry24 - rated E
It’s the All-Star Game weekend of 2021, Ilya has more than made a home for himself with the Ottawa Centaurs, and Shane loves having him closer than when he used to play with Boston. They show up in the locker room before everyone else on their All Star team and Shane loses himself in watching Ilya tape his hockey stick which is unfairly attractive to watch. Ilya of course, notices and plays right into it.
🏑Local Guide Ilya Rozanov has left a new review by trickysnail - rated T
Ilya just wants a tuna melt but for some reason the owner of We Take the Cake bakery keeps refusing to make him one. The solution to this problem is clearly to leave more reviews.
🏑[Podfic] The Elevator by Lexi_Leckstar - rated T
Yuna shot up.
“The elevator!” she screamed in horror.
“What?” David shuffled on the bed next to her, fumbling for his glasses on the nightstand. “Are you okay?”
“He was there. In the elevator, when—” She broke off, startled by the sudden crash when David knocked over the clock from the nightstand, the sound of the shattering glass echoing loudly through their bedroom.
Or: Yuna wakes up the night after Shane and Ilya came out to them.
Enjoy, and we'll be back tomorrow with more of our favorite hockey boys!

For the Gen Zers swooning over our soft baby Hollander, let me give you some historical context from a fellow Canadian Millennial (Shane's birthday is May 10, 1991. He's with me, Hudson is yours).
It's well established Shane is a bit of a nerd, what with his endless hours of movie viewing on plane (see: conversation with Rose Landry) and the fact JJ called him up in earnest after discovering the X-Squad cast was in his presence.
As such! I present to you, by way of head canon, Shane Hollander's gay awakening:
(Oh, you thought it was Ilya Rozanov? Please. He was just the amalgamation of these two hotties in X2 (released 2003, Shane's prime pre-teen crushing era).
Bobby Drake's softness and affinity for ice mixed with Wolverine's snarky quips and well defined arms? Ilya Rozanov was a wet dream made reality for our sweet Canadian cutie.
Hello, everyone! We're excited to announce Hollanov Fest 2026, which is a fest dedicated to Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov from the book series Game Changers and TV show Heated Rivalry. This fest will have open prompting — which means you, the fandom, get to offer up prompts for participating writers and artists to choose from — and run for the next few months (schedule below).
At this point, the mods are doing an interest check to gauge how much potential participation there may be. This will help us adjust the size of the mod team and make the fest smoother overall. We also want to spread the word so people can start thinking about prompts they may want to submit when the time comes! The interest check will end when prompting opens.
Prompting opens January 10, 2026, at 12 PM Eastern and ends January 24, 2026, at 11:59 PM Eastern. We'll have more info about how you can submit prompts soon.
Self-prompting is also okay! However, if you opt to self-prompt, please wait until prompt claiming opens on February 1, 2026, and let us know you're choosing to self-prompt instead of claim a prompt.
Please fill out this Google Form to submit to the interest check and receive a link to the fest Discord.
Full schedule, rules, and links below the cut!

Rules
Please visit the AO3 Collection for more details and FAQ.
This is an 18+ fest. This is nonnegotiable.
This is a given, but all works must center Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov as the main ship. Side pairings are fine as long as they're not more important than hollanov.
Writers and artists may participate. For this fest, "artist" encompasses drawn work, video edits, collages, podfics, and any other artistic medium that could be uploaded to AO3 (excluding video edits, which we assume will be uploaded to Instagram/TikTok).
This fest is NOT anonymous. You are welcome to share snippets, WIPs, and other information about your work as you're creating.
Prompts are first come, first serve. However, there is no limit on creators who want to self-prompt (as long as the self-prompt is not substantially similar to an already existing prompt).
Collaborations are welcome, but both collaborators must sign-up.
Written works must be a minimum of 1,000 words. There is no maximum word count. However, all submissions must be complete works (i.e., no first chapters of multi-chapter works or works in progress are allowed).
All works must be completely new and made for this fest. No remixes or prequels/sequels to existing works. An exception to this rule is made for podfics; however, you must have the writer's permission to create a podfic for this fest.
This fest allows Dead Dove: Do Not Eat tagged works. However, we ask that you please tag accordingly.
All works must be finished and submitted by April 9, 2026, at 11:59 PM Eastern to be considered a part of this fest.
The point of this event is to spread love for hollanov while fostering community and creativity within the fandom. Now that the show has finished, our hope is that fan works will sustain us all until season 2! So we're excited to have you join us. We can't wait to see what prompts you come up with and what beautiful works you create 🖤
