Operation Hollanov by Sumatra

*****

“So wait, what does that mean?” Hayden said, and Wyatt could see the cogs turning in his head.

“I think it means we have two thirty-year-old men on our hands who haven’t figured out how to admit their feelings to each other,” Wyatt laughed. “And we’ve somehow decided they’re our responsibility.”

“Fuck,” Hayden said, putting his head in his hands. “We’re gonna need to get them together, aren’t we?”

No Good at Giving You Up by ggfj84

*****

Ilya tells GQ magazine that he wants to be married and have two kids, five dogs, and four Stanley Cups in ten years. Oh, and he wants to play for the Metros.

Shane is totally normal and not weird about it at all.

(He’s so weird about it.)

Warning: Do Not Separate by ICarryDeathOnMyWings

*****

Coach Wiebe looked at them apologetically, “It’s probably better, at least for now.” He gestured in a way that said ‘it’s out of my hands, boys, sorry’ which made Shane feel a little better. And, he did agree with the decision. This would be their first season on the same team, they were the first married couple in MLH history, there were a lot of unprecedented things they had to deal with. Ilya didn’t look thrilled.

“Makes no sense.” He groused, “We live together but we can not share a hotel room?”

or: the Centaurs think it's a good idea to have Ilya and Shane sleep in different hotel rooms. They're wrong.

long game (class acts never fail) by hitlikehammers

*****

No FanMail. No outing. No forced free agency. Just their terms. Just their choice. Just their love.

So hell yes: Shane and Ilya use the 2022 Winter Olympics as their hard launch. How’s that even a question?

Scott Hunter’s gonna be so pissed at being upstaged that bad.

Washed Up, Irrelevant by lavery

*****

@/ottawacentaurs Shane Hollander ranks hockey players; number five will surprise you!

“Who’s the third?” Shane asked with seemingly genuine confusion. “What?” “The third player.” Shane clarified, “In the big three of active players? I mean it’s me and Ilya, right?” Amelia nodded mutely whilst Luca Haas, who had been asked the question, stared at Shane with wide eyes. “So, who’s the third?” Shane’s face took on a contemplative look. “Scott Hunter?” Amelia said with confusion. “Hunter?” Shane looked surprised. “Why?” Across the room Roz let out a bark of laughter.
