I only threw this party for you by MsMonserrat
âYouâre fucking lucky.â Wyatt says, drawing his cigarette. âHeâs way f*cking nicer to you than us.â He exhales his smoke.
Shane doesnât know how to explain that, so he pivots.
Maybe there's a world where Shane Hollander isn't so scared of being seen with Ilya Rozanov. After all, they didn't start this charity for nothing. So when Ilya tries to get Shane to come to his Halloween party, Shane reluctantly agrees. The Centaurs get to see Ilya and Shane are actually friends. Is that all they see?
or...Watch Shane and Ilya at a party be super super not suspicious.
truth covered in security by lisa6
âRozanov,â Hollander says again, meaner. Ilyaâs heart flutters.
âHi,â he purrs. Nastya lets out a sweet sound when he pulls back a little and Ilya kisses the shell of her ear, wondering if sheâs too dazed from their fucking to question him making a phone call or if she just doesnât care enough to ask. âYou picked up fast. Missed me?â
Or: Ilya is jealous and deals with it in a totally normal way â by calling Shane while he's having sex with someone else.
He never existed by stupidnephlim
When the guy youâve had a crush on offers to teach you how to be better at sex⊠itâs very important you say yes.
Or the one where Shane is a mess, Ilya is in denial and sex is had. Thatâs usually the way it goes right??
âSo let me show you just a couple things you can do when youâre with himâ - I never existed by Chase Atlantic.
Shane Hollander can definitely throw a mean Halloween party. He's gonna ace that. Like any other achievements in his life. He finally gets to be the cool one between him and Ilya. Until, Sasha appeared and Shane starts to question his own sanity.
Sasha, Ilya's ex, attends Shane and Ilya's Halloween party.

an opposing player flirts with shane during a game and ilya has a totally normal level headed reaction when he plays against the man the following week
âWeird stuff to be honest, kept calling me âpretty boyâ which like whatever I get that a lot,â shuffling sounds came through the phone, and Ilya knew Shane was putting his bag down and unpacking his stuff from his game, he was so predictable. âBut he really hammed it up, like complimenting me? Like, I know it was supposed to piss me off, but it just felt strange.â
Ilya sat up and put the phone directly to his ear, he felt anger brewing under his skin. He had a theory and needed to investigate it without Shane realizing anything.
Barstool Sports Canada reports that Montreal Metros captain Shane Hollander has started learning Russian from new teammate and Russian rookie Sergei Dovonchezky.
Ilya has some thoughts. None of them are particularly kind.

This is the final straw, Shane thought, staring up at the enormous wall to wall billboard of Ilya in nothing but tight white Calvin Kleins.
(yuna adopts ilya as her second son via brand deals. shane suffers.)
Don't ever leave (it's you) by Laginwords
Shane and Rose break up, but Shane doesn't think he and Ilya can be together, so he decides to try something else. Then he gets drunk, and Ilya comes to his rescue. Some angst, some comfort, some sweetness, some smut.
Dirty Secrets, Stolen Moments by Stargirl (JanetBaby99)
âYouâve got to show Hollander,â someone laughs incredulously.
Before he can really process what is happening, J.J. is shoving a phone in his face, the screen so close the picture that he is trying to show him is nothing but a blurb of a man and woman.
âLook at this shit, can you believe it?â J.J. asks excitedly.
âI donât know what Iâm looking at,â Shane cringes back, eyes hurting.
âRozanov is engaged.â
And just like that, the world stops.
Shane blinks, and then blinks again. Surely he misheard.
Shane hears a rumor in the locker room that Ilya Rozanov is engaged. He breaks his own heart by believing it without asking Ilya if it's true.
My love mine all mine by mareastralis
"You want me to hook up with some random guy on one of the rare nights we get to spend together after we flew all the way here on purpose just so I can try to have a different experience?"
Or: After the cottage, after the confessions, before the trade to Ottawa, Shane and Ilya are adapting to a new version of their relationship, where needs and wants still have to be discussed. They're not great at the whole 'communicating' thing yet, and it all comes to a head when Ilya pushes Shane in the arms of someone else, for what he thinks is the good of everyone involved.
Based on the conversation mentioned in TLG where Ilya and Shane talked about seeing other people.
Donât Forget You Love Me by goldenlou
So, Ilya doesnât know why he says it.
âYou invite all your men into bed like this?â
Itâs out of his mouth before he can stop himself.
Shane sits up with a jolt and glares at Ilya, who canât believe those words came out of his mouth.
âWhat did you just say to me?â
All is well â if it wasnât for the way it irks Ilya that Shane had said âI havenât either, not since the last timeâ after they had arrived at the cottage.
The one where possessive Ilya finally cracks and asks about Shaneâs sexual adventures without him.
you're quicksand by losemyselfinadaydream
He should block Rozanovâs number and never talk to him again. Itâs not healthy, to let another person control him like this. He should forget Rozanov altogether, and find someone else, someone who doesn't make him feel like heâs being chewed up and spit back out.
Why Him and Not Me? by Rainbow_Femme
It's not Rose Landry that Shane ends up striking up a conversation with, it's her charming and openly gay friend Miles, and the gossip sites are just as excited to speculate on if the hockey star rarely seen with women might have a much more secret romance happening.
Ilya Rozanov also starts wondering that, and he is not a fan of the idea.
Something âbout the way that your DNA dances so well with mine. by pocketsun
After being ghosted for six months by the guy heâd been secretly seeing since before his rookie season, Shane Hollander does something totally out of character.
He comes out to the world.
lay me down on the altar, and foreverâs what iâll vow by justhockey
âAm I too boring for you?â
He doesnât mean to ask. Doesnât mean for those words to come out. They fall from his lips before he has a chance to stop them, and the second theyâre out there he wants to take them back. He wants to swallow them down so they canât hurt anyone but himself.
Because IlyaâŠIlya flinches.
Those English Words Just Roll Off Your Tongue by Su_porn_ova222
After the blow to his ego by Ilya Rozanov during the Sochi Olympics 2014, Shane isn't sure what to think anymore. Was this it? Did Rozanov finally do what neither of them could for so long? Thankfully, Shane's figure skater friend, Joe introduced him to a friend who goes by Misha. Ilya witnesses the whole thing. It was dangerous, reckless on both of their parts, and when he sees Shane exit the car with flushed cheeks and another man behind him, Ilya can't hold himself back anymore.
The Mortifying Ordeal Of Spiraling Over Your Husbandâs Terrible (In)Experience With Women by ProstheticLoVe
âSo how is Katie?â Yuna asked.
âStill in love with Shane. She picked her husband out to look like Walmart version of him,â Ilya explained as nonchalantly as he could. He took a bite of wild rice, which he usually loved, but it was hard and tasteless in his mouth.
Or the one where Shane and Ilya run into Shaneâs high school ex-girlfriend and Ilya gets really weird about it.
ten out of ten by gurlsrool
Ilya: He should buy lottery tickets because he is the luckiest man on earth
Ilya: He should get on his knees and thank god everyday that he got to fuck you
Or: The man who topped Shane in Mexico posts about his experience, Ilya contemplates murder, and the other queer NHL players get caught in the crossfire.
did its people want too much too? by elipsisii
âFine, you really want to know? Hayden and I hooked up in 2014. You know what else happened in 2014? You ignoring me for six months, discarding me like I was dispensable and not worth more than a quick fuck! Thatâs what fucking happened!â
Ilya feels the ground give out from under his feet. His mind is like a broken record, repeating the phrase âHayden and I hooked upâ over and over again, cutting deeper each time, cracks appearing all over his impeccable armour. He catches onto the last part, how Shane thought he was âdispensableâ and ânot worth more than a quick fuckâ and his armour shatters completely, the remains catching on fire and spreading through his body like a forest fire, incinerating everything in its wake.
Or: Shane sleeps with Hayden. Ilya finds out.
Take A Bite (The Red Box) by Chavalala
âIt's just thatâŠâ Ilya swiped his hands down his face and continued âliterally every single person we've interacted with today has looked at you like they want to take a bite out of you. It's fucking killing me.â
âWhat do you mean? I don't remember anyone looking at me weird today?â
Ilya is feeling very possessive because everyone wants Shane's cookie and Shane is oblivious.
Take the Moon and Make It My Ring by servetas
âCome on, baby, once in a while does not hurt. Rookies say that drunk cigarettes donât count, have you ever heard that? I think is funny,â Ilya tries, his kisses softer now, trying to work Shane into the soft, pliant mess he loves.
It doesnât work. In fact â âWhatâs that, Ilya?â
Ilya is biting anywhere he can find, âI donât have gun license, so I must be happy to see you.â
But that doesnât work either. Shane finally moves â only to grab at Ilyaâs collar, pulling it so that it digs into the back of his neck, which has Ilya pausing as Shane inspects. âThat, Ilya. Whatâs that.â
or, Shane finds some (perfectly explainable) lipstick on Ilya's collar, and they both go through emotional saw traps
Dial Drunk by Palomarosee
The line connects and Shane is met with a chaotic jumble of noise. Loud music and voices
The voice is deep and familiar but thereâs something different about it, something heavy and a bit slurred
âRozanov? Are youâare you drunk right now?â
Or: Shane sends a risky text, Ilya does not take it well
just tell me you love me (i'll give you what i need) by Anonymous
âPromise me youâre going to break up with him,â Ilya says, the teasing edge in his voice fading into something more serious. âI am very selfish, Shane. I do not want to share what is mine.â
Shane nods almost immediately. âTomorrow,â he breathes out. âIâll break up with him tomorrow.â
Shane has never been completely certain about his relationship with his boyfriend. Thereâs always been a sense that something is missing. But when he meets his boyfriendâs coworker, Ilya Rozanov, he finally understands what that missing piece is, and realizes heâs found it in Ilya.
Equal and Opposite by imgonnagetyouback81
Ilya knew he had fucked up the moment he'd said it. But he hadn't been able to help it.
He had known earlier that day when he had double checked his refrigerator to make sure the Canada Dry ginger ale he had bought the day before hadn't sprouted wings and flown away. And he had known when he had researched easy recipes of things he could make that fit Hollander's strict performance diet earlier that week that they were playing a dangerous game.
The two of them were Rozanov and Hollander, and that was all they could ever be. Ilya knew that. They were Hollander and Rozanov to the public, to the media, to their teammates, to their coaches, and they were supposed to be that to each other as well.
But Ilya had called him Shane. And then Shane had left.
What if after the tuna melt scene when Shane runs, Ilya is the one who gets a public girlfriend. They say every action has an equal an opposite reaction... or in this case, maybe an overreaction.
Until It's Dust by xcursequeenx
Ilya stepped towards Shane and when he didnât step back, Ilya took the opportunity to wrap him in his arms.
âI just wanted you to know that it would be okay if you did need to do that.â He wanted to make sure that he said the right thing so that Shane wouldnât be spooked. He had already fucked this up severely. But even then, Shane deserved to know everything.
âI donât believe in cheating.â Shane stilled in his arms before he finished with, âI donât own you Shane.â
Everything in Shaneâs face shattered and Ilya knew that despite his attempts he had said something terribly wrong.
Shane turned on his heel and hauled ass out of the bedroom. By the time Ilya could catch up to him, he was gone.
And now Ilya was speeding to Montreal because four days was far too long for comfort.
OR the one where Ilya tells Shane he can see other people and then regrets it.
I know better now by silversurfer
Shane meets Ilya in Tampa for closure â he knows heâs gay now, and also knows he wants something serious, committed, reliable. Heâs ready to end things neatly and conclusively. Ilya is going to have to accept that.
... Ilya takes this about as well as you would expect.
Am I a Freak? Am I a Weirdo? by Dorzy
After years of secretly hooking up with his rival⊠Shane wonders if their sex is normal. Unfortunately, thereâs only one person he can ask for confirmation.
i can try to pretend, i can try to forget (but it's driving me mad) by shortykuma
âIâm back!â came Milesâs voice. âHere are your drinks, some champagne for Rose and another beer for Shane.â
Rose, who was sitting at the edge of their booth, accepted both and handed them to Shane, who took a swig immediately. He didnât really want to get drunk, he never did, but at least having a pleasant buzz would help make this easier.
âAnd look who I ran into,â Miles continued in a sing-songy manner.
âOh my god, is that Ilya Rozanov?â Rose exclaimed.
What if Miles had approached Ilya at the club and brought him over to meet Rose and Shane, blissfully unaware that Ilya and Shane's relationship was more than just an on-ice rivalry? Suddenly, it's gotten a whole lot harder for Shane to pretend and for Ilya to forget, when the objects of their obsession are sitting right in front of them.
An alternate take on Episode 4/Chapter 14 where Shane and Ilya actually talk at the club instead of just staring at one another across the dance floor. Did kind of spiral out of control while writing into sort of a fix-it, or maybe just a timeline acceleration.
case file: desk 24, floor 8, room 1 by shaneviews
Shane Hollander starts receiving anonymous gifts at his desk.
Ilya Rozanov, his husband, takes the investigation a little too seriously.
Rpfing Gotta Stop Yall by ana1s
When a fifteen-second clip of Shane Hollander and Hayden Pike goes viral, the internet decides they are in love. Unfortunately, Ilya Rozanov disagreed.
One video. Two hockey players. Three million opinions. And one Russian man personally declaring war on the entire internet.
can't buy me love by amongtheshadows
âAnd next up we have a one-on-one evening with the one and only Shane Hollander.â Hayden gestures towards him like heâs bringing out a car on a game show. âSpend an evening with Shane Hollander, my best friend and the greatest hockey player of the generation. Not to mention lifelong Ottawa sweetheart.â
âIâm going to kill you.â he whispers through his teeth as the crowd applauds, but also in the crowd, Ilya is glaring like heâs going to absolutely murder Hayden.
(or - hayden puts an evening with shane up for auction and ilya could not be less thrilled about it)
Shane gestured helplessly at the empty space Wyatt had just vacated. âRozanov. What are you doing? This is for charity.â
Sliding a heavy, matte-black credit card across the counter, Ilya didnât even blink.
âI know,â he murmured, his blue eyes dropping directly to Shaneâs mouth. âIâm being generous.â
When Shane Hollander is drafted into working the hospitalâs Valentineâs Day kissing booth, he expects awkward kisses and a miserable afternoon.
What he doesnât expect is Ilya Rozanov buying every single ticket.
pick-up lessons by noraster
"Shane Hollander," he said. "We are lying in the very comfortable bed you bought for me to fuck you in, in the very weird condo you bought, also for me to fuck you in."
"It's an investment," Shane grumbled.
"And I have just fucked you, I think, very well," Rozanov continued. "At least I do not remember any complaints."
He swung his body easily across the bed, pinning Shane in place.
"No complaints," Shane huffed, almost a laugh. "No complaints here."
"So why the fuck," Rozanov said into the soft skin beneath Shane's ear, "are you asking me about other men?"
Or: Shane thinks what he needs to do is fuck another man. Just to see. Just to know. Just to test if it's only Rozanov who can make him feel this way.
But he has no idea how to go about fucking a stranger without it immediately becoming a story in the tabloids.
And he can think of only one person to ask for advice. So, in a post-coital haze, he makes the obvious move: he asks Ilya Rozanov, his extremely casual fuckbuddy, for advice on how to pick up other men.

âUh,â he says, looking up from his screen and feeling his ears go hot, realizing for the first time that this habit of his hasnât actually come up before until this exact moment.
âWhat?â Rozanov asks, sounding more amused than anything else. âYou are one of the people who does Instagram for food now?â
âNo,â Shane says, stalling between answering and finishing his Snap so he can send it to Melissa, âone sec.â He finishes typing out 'Tuna melt. Chips. Pickles. It smells really good. Swiss cheese, I think.' before he looks back to Rozanov, putting his phone facedown on the coffee table. âJust sending it to someone on the staff. She likes knowing what Iâm eating.â
He doesnât know if Melissa likes knowing what heâs eating, per se, but she also seems pleased when he talks about enjoying food for things beyond how many grams of protein it has in it.
âAh,â Rozanov says, in a tone Shane canât quite read. âYou always send her your food then, this girl?â
(shane has a habit of sending his team's dietician his meals for approval) (the problem with this habit? he forgets to tell ilya exactly what it is that melissa does) (how the tuna meltdown is AVERTED through the power of miscommunication)
Can I Get Hollanderâs Number? by Lis4
âHey cap,â Troy said, sitting down next to him in the stall he was set up in.
âReady, Barrett?â Ilya asked.
âOh hell, yeah.â Troy confirmed. âGonna stomp the shit out of them.â
Ilya forced a laugh. He hated when the rivalry forced him to agree with statements like that. The last thing he was goign to do was stomp the shit out of Shane. He definitely wasnât going to let him win though.
âWe will win,â Ilya said confidently.
âYeah, I know,â Troy agreed. They rarely did, but they liked to pretend at least for the rookies. Troy leaned in, lowering his voice to a whisper so no one else would hear. âI um. Iâm going out with Hollander after the game.â
Ilya literally heard race car wheels slamming to a stop. âWhat?â
âYeah, gonna check out one of the bars down town,â Troy informed excitedly.
Ilya felt like his brain was short circuiting. âYouâre.. youâre what?â
Troy didnât appear to track Ilyaâs lack of cognitive response. âThanks for the number, Cap,â and winked his way back to his own stall.
âInspired from Role Model where Troy comes out to Ilya and then thinks about asking him for Shaneâs number. What if that happened? What if Ilya gave it to him?
