Short Fic Recs
All of these fics are short, but still amazing fics. I didn't intend on them all being short, but I guess that's what I personally like to read. I hope you all enjoy them as much as I did!

General Audiences - Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov - Completed
Spoilers for the book The Long Game
For his very last Montreal game, a reporter asks Shane a question about balancing hockey and his personal life concerning his boyfriend Ilya Rozanov. Shane answers them bluntly. “He’s not my boyfriend.” Naturally, everyone is devastated.
This fic was a really fun read! Despite how short it is, I found it to be enjoyable.

Teen and Up Audiences - Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov - Completed
The Raiders have known about Ilya's Montreal girl Jane for years. After a rival game in Boston, they plot to find out who Jane is via stakeout. The only problem? The run straight into the Voyageurs. The Voyageurs have known about Shane's Boston girl Lily for years. After a rival game in Boston, they plot to find out who Lily is via stakeout. The only problem? The run straight into the Raiders.
It is not canon-compliant, but it is still a good read. I often find myself not reading anything with canon divergence, but I found myself enjoying this fic.

General Audiences - Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov - Completed
It was supposed to be a joke, okay? It was supposed to be funny, and they were all supposed to get a laugh out of it. Despite all of his protests, Hayden had thought he could get Shane to see the humor in it once he gave in. Except the longer Shane decidedly didn’t find it funny, the less entertaining it became for Hayden as well. Hayden hadn’t ever actually done a deep-dive into the whole Hollanov internet obsession. He wasn’t prepared to have the cornerstone of his worldview be destroyed by a youtube compilation video. -- The Montreal team watch a Hollanov compilation on youtube, for fun, and realize some things.
This is a great fic to read after the last one. Even though they have similar themes, the outcomes are very different. This fic is spoiler-free, but it is a good read if you have read The Long Game.
Shane's "Boston girl" loves Ilya Rozanov by vio_h13
Not Rated - Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov - Completed
“Now Cap, I need to know… If your Boston girl is a hockey fan, who’s her favorite player? Cause if she’s a Bears fan…” he got cut off by Comeau, who said teasingly, “I bet she has an Ilya Rozanov poster up in her bedroom”. ------- Shane's teammates tease him about his Boston girl... who apparently loves the Bears?
This is short, but still a great insight into Shane's life during the events of Heated Rivalry. I wish there were more fics that exclusively had Shane in them.
As Long As We're Together by Amee19
Explicit - Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov - Completed
Shane's heart shatters when he finds a ring at Ilya's, the kind you propose with. A woman's ring. With Svetlana's name on it.
This has an nsfw scene in the middle of it. Additionally, this fic is canon divergent, which takes place during the events of Heated Rivalry. The tags say it's angsty, but it isn't too bad. Possibly, I feel that way because I've been reading too much angst. It is also tagged as a minor character death, but I think that is because it mentions Ilya's dad. Overall, this is a good fic with a happy ending.
