The chips are set to fall by icopythefax

At the 2017 All Star Weekend, Ilya takes fate into his own hands to produce at least one out MLH player by the end of the season. Thus begins his part-time side hustle as community organizer, mastermind, and Commander-in-Chief of the Gay Hockey Army.

(Everything icopythefax writes is hilarious with a touch of seriousness – the magic of the crack treated seriously tag – i totally recommend Everything they write)

the secret society of stick handlers by gurlsrool

Series / 50K / One-shot (kinda)

(A series with several one shots depicting the social media reaction of a variety of scandals created by the queer hockey players – I'll recommend subscribing to the author, they have several amazing fics)

Luca Haas tries very hard to not let anyone know about his dark (read: embarrassing) past. Unfortunately, the fans are ready to let people know for him.

(I'm in awe about how good this fic is, I have read it a couple of times already)

Best Served Hot by queerteaoop

Mature / 21K / Completed

Dunkin' Donuts puts Ilya in an ad campaign. Tim Hortons responds in kind. After years of on-ice rivalry, this might actually be the thing that causes the hottest point of contention.

Or, Rose Landry tries to befriend her best friend's boyfriend. The internet thinks they are dating instead. The Rose Landry Bowl is created.

☆ Weird friendships you didn't know you needed

Bisexual! This is great! Me too! by DoubleDecker, SugMak

Teen / 10K / WIP

Old friends Eric Bennett and Brandon Wiebe realize oh yeah, that time when we were best friends at hockey camp in high school, actually maybe we were boyfriends? They've been casual friends for decades since then, but when Eric comes out publicly, Wiebe reaches out. They catch up and debrief life and hockey as bisexual men while Eric enjoys his first year of retirement and Wiebe navigates his first year as a coach.

Ilya Rozanov is just delighted to have bisexual friends. Even if they don't always know he's bisexual too. And since his love language is being a little shit, he badgers them into bisexual solidarity.

They're all bisexual and talking to each other

(Cannon bisexuals gossip with each other Featuring Coach Wiebe and Bennet)

Personal (Surprise) Chef by ellipsister

Teen / 18K / Completed

Ryan Price has contingency plans for aliens, penthouse floods and the occassional emotional breakdown (his own). Finding Ilya Rozanov in his apartment - door code proudly abused and cooking food - still comes as a greater shock.

Ilya on the other hand would summarize the evening in four efficient steps: Use Code. Cook. Couch. Cry internally (optional).

Or: Ryan and Ilya are absolute shit at friendship... and somehow they are perfectly happy anyway.

Jane is Ilya's Favourite Lay by That_bitch_without_a_life

influential men by lyric_ghost

Explicit / 37K / WIP

Shane Hollander, captain of the Boston Raiders, is the the undisputed best hockey player of his generation. But he's lonely. His relationships with women have never worked out, and he's afraid he knows why.

Ilya Rozanov is a charismatic, openly bisexual personal trainer and influencer. His Insta is half thirst traps, half brutal and perceptive hockey critique.

It's no surprise, really, that Shane falls for him so hard and so fast.

(I wholeheartedly recommend this, their relationship dynamics chances a bit because ilya is out – also it has an interesting plot twist)

[gayhoediaz]

can i have some hollanov ficrecs that are actually alternate universe? (no omegaverse rn, not feeling it). the tag is an absolute mess, everyone’s tagging their canon divergence as au, i can’t find the actual ones for shit.

fall in love again and again (17849 words) by galactictsukki Chapters: 1/1 “I’m putting in a transfer request to Carleton this afternoon.” Ilya gets off his bike and wraps his sweaty arms around Shane’s sweaty shoulders, presses their sweaty heads together and holds him tight. “Nooo, Hollander, you cannot leave me. Who will put Barrett and Marly in time out when they fuck up too many shots in a row?” “I’m sure Bood will do it. He loves bossing people around.” Bood stands up straight and salutes his captains. “I take the title with great honor. Enjoy the Ravens, Hollander—your legacy of being a chaste Victorian debutante will be remembered fondly but not carried on.” This snaps that last thread of Shane’s refined patience. “I can pick up girls! I have no problem getting numbers and calling them and talking!” Hazy smirks. “Innocent until proven guilty.” “I can pick people up,” Shane says again, moving off his bike and out of Ilya’s sweaty embrace. “And I don’t have to do it by concocting schemes or stripping on top of the LAX bros’ coffee table.” Or, after some team chirping at Shane's expense, Ilya accidentally interrupts a few of his potential dating prospects and then keeps on doing it less than accidentally

*

clear to a hedgehog (12466 words) by magneticwave Chapters: 1/1 Every Boston Raider knows that although their captain has a girl in every port, he’s got a soft spot for the one in Montreal. Dr. Shane Hollander knows it’s better to have a semi-regular source of casual sex than try to make a relationship work during residency. Ilya Rozanov knows that the doctor he’s fucking in Montreal is unaware that he plays hockey, and in fact probably thinks he’s Bratva.

*

stars and moons (16642 words) by ratherunnecessary Chapters: 1/1 Shane can do casual. He fucking loves casual. He’ll be Toronto’s king of casual.

*

Profess(or) Your Love (7103 words) by very_pretty_bad Chapters: 2/2 Monday-Wednesday-Friday 8:00 AM-9:00 AM: Intro to Sociology (SOC-101) Instructor: Shane Hollander, PhD (Social Science) — Professor of Sociology Room: Coulson 121 Monday-Wednesday-Friday 8:00 AM-9:00 AM: Russian 1 (RUS-101) Instructor: Ilya Rozanov, PhD (Psychology) — Professor of SLA Russian Room: Coulson 122 ••• Professor Hollander is the kind-hearted, mild-mannered professor of Sociology that students learn quickly to love. Dr. Rozanov is the gruff, curt Russian language instructor that students learn to love a little more slowly. Their bitter rivalry is the stuff of campus legend. (Yeah, right.)

*

red carpet romance (9033 words) by bazisgay Chapters: 7/? Shane Hollander is a journalist for GQ Magazine. When he interviews supermodel Ilya Rozanov on the red carpet, their chemistry is undeniable and the internet is obsessed. Inspired by Amelia Dimoldenberg & Andrew Garfield’s red carpet chemistry.

*

that morning coffee, brewed it for ya (13110 words) by hollowedhymns Chapters: 1/1 “How do I work the coffee machine,” Ilya says tonelessly, more plea than question. “You don’t work the coffee machine,” Svetlana tells him, words coming slowly. She looks confused, sounds bewildered, and Ilya does not have time for this. “I need to make a coffee,” he hisses, gaze flicking back to the man at the counter, lost in his phone, “for the love of my life.” Svetlana’s eyebrows jump up. “Excuse me?” Or, Ilya just wants a break. Shane just wants a coffee. Somehow, they find each other.

*

influential men (30962 words) by lyric_ghost Chapters: 18/22 There’s no question that Shane is the best hockey player in the MLH at the moment. He's a generational talent on a level of his own. He's led the Boston Raiders to 3 Stanley Cups already. And he's lonely. It's never worked out with any of the women he's dated, and he's afraid he knows why. Then on Instagram, Shane finds this guy: a beautiful, trash-talking personal trainer with some real skills on the ice. Ilya Rozanov is a Boston resident, a hockey fan, and openly bi. Shane might be a little obsessed.

*

( i am done ) trying for beauty. (19745 words) by hcneymooners Chapters: 1/1 Ilya glances at Shane, at the way the dying light is catching in his hair, refracting. At that spiderlily mouth, slightly open and curling coyly, two teeth peeked through the dark gap like an American Girl doll. At that shoulder, bare and pale and close enough to touch if Ilya just leaned forward, if he just reached out and took another liberty. To touch another person is to say: I know you will die, and I am doing this anyway. His mother used to say something like this. About painting. Every portrait is an act of faith, Ilyushenka. Faith and futility both. ⋆ contrary to personal preference, ilya gets a roommate.

AUs on my TBR

hidden in plain sight (my love) (26414 words) by lastdanceandgo AU. Shane works at a coffee shop, goes to auditions, tries to get his personal life together, and has absolutely no idea how to say no to people. His life is already complicated enough when a Russian neighbor moves into the apartment across the hall. Ilya Rozanov is a not-very-polite musician, a devoted fan of heavy eyeliner, and definitely not a fan of coffee. Also, apparently, a hundred percent straight. Around the same time, anonymous gifts with handwritten notes start appearing outside Shane’s door. If only he knew who they were from.

*

and they called it puppy love (12759 words) by viviaano Chapters: 1/1 “I can bring her in, yes. As many times as necessary. I am very responsible.” Shane gives him an odd look and double-checks his chart. “I will hold you to that, Mr Rozanov. It’s a commitment. She’ll be a handful.” Ilya doesn’t flinch. “I have hands.” // Shane thinks one of his clients is just very committed, and slightly hypochondriac, about the care of his dog. Ilya is running out of excuses to see the hot vet.

Back to the egg (it's crimson and gold) (30961 words) by passacig Chapters: 4/4 Series: Part 1 of Back to the egg (it’s crimson and gold) Summary: Shane and Ilya once knew each other in what feels like another life. Years later, Shane has transitioned, buried his past and finally embraced his truest self. He comes to McGill to play on the men’s hockey team—only to find his roommate is Ilya Rozanov. “Sorry—um.” Shane swallowed. “I’m Shane.” Something passed across Ilya’s face, quick and unreadable. Shane’s pulse spiked, thudding loud in his ears. Did he know? If Ilya recognized him—if something clicked—what would stop him from telling the coaches? What would stop him from telling everyone? Then Ilya smoothed it away, the moment gone as if it had never existed. “Huh,” he said. “Funny. I used to know a Shane. Pretty girl. Good at hockey.” Shane’s eyes widened. His mouth went dry. Was Ilya fucking with him? “Oh—um. I—” “Relax,” Ilya cut in, lips curling into something almost amused, almost sharp. “You are very pretty, too.” *

there ends all my knowledge (21738 words) by butidontreallycare Chapters: 4/9 “Alright, the shirt is going to have to come off,” Shane says, sliding back. “I can cut it off you or you can take it off yourself.”  After a lengthy pause in which Shane is unprofessionally lost in those glittering eyes, the firefighter grabs the hem of his shirt and begins to lift. He stops almost instantly with his elbows crossed over his face and his chiseled abdomen right there for Shane to gawp at, holy shit.  The pained noise the man makes jars Shane back into motion. “Right, okay. My turn,” he mumbles, smoothing the fireman’s hands back onto his lap.   or, emergency medicine au where they fall in love one small disaster at a time

Second Line (44177 words) by queeniebee6 They were once the greatest MLH draft prospects in the world - number one and two, in whatever order came to be on the day. But life had other plans, and all it took was a few weeks in ‘09 to see both Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander become nothing more than hypotheticals and statistical what-ifs deep in reddit threads and hockey chatrooms. But still, their paths were destined to cross when Ilya took his daughter to her first skating lesson. // Single dad!Ilya x Kids Hockey coach!Shane

*

You Have Six Outstanding Compliance Modules (47884 words) by papisadhu Chapters: 7/7 Shane Hollander is trying his best to keep everyone compliant with Health, Safety and Wellbeing standards at Centaurs by Design. Ilya Rozanov does his best to make Shane's job as difficult as possible.

*

stolen time, a golden hour (10366 words) by ingberry Chapters: 1/1 Series: Part 1 of Rockstar Ilya The crowd was intense tonight. There was a push and pull that added to the thrumming feeling under his skin, only heightened by the small, stolen moments with Ilya. Every time Ilya would glance over, he’d find Shane’s eyes on him and his lips would tick up into a smile. Sometimes, when Ilya was at the other side of the stage, Shane would flick his eyes up to the screen next to them and look at the close up of Ilya’s curls sticking to his skin and the bead of sweat sliding down his neck. Ilya Rozanov is the charismatic lead singer of Overtime Lights. Shane Hollander plays hockey and doesn't know anything about music. A night in New York leads to the reveal of their secret relationship.

honestly yall just gotta be comfortable reading books that make you feel stupid

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

read books that you don't understand. read books where you have to pay attention. read books that make you reread a page eight times to figure it out. read books that you need to take notes on. read books with words you have to google. read books that don't make sense without research on the setting. read books that make you feel stupid because otherwise you'll just be stupid.

🌟 The first update of my new webcomic And Another Lovely Day will be published on WEBTOON Canvas tomorrow: Friday, September 20, at 5:30 PM PST! 🌟

And Another Lovely Day is a (non) rom-com about two aroace coworkers who, after a meet-cute outside of work, mistakenly believe the other is in love with them

A series URL isn't created until the first episode publishes, but if you follow my WEBTOON creator page, I believe you'll get an alert once the episode goes up!

Also, I'm planning to publish a page-formatted version on @andanotherlovelyday (though updates there will be irregular, since I'll be prioritizing making new episodes over reformatting)

I'm looking forward to sharing it with you all!
