Or: in which Yuna and David try to figure out what's going on with their son through the years while trying to be good, supportive, non-overbearing parents.
(A look into Shane's live through childhood all the way to adulthood and his relationship – literally go read all the fics in this series they're all amazing)
where nobody knows you by dottiedoesotherfandoms (dottie wan kenobi)
Yuna and David find out about Lily, Shane's... girlfriend?, while he's in the hospital. It's a while before they find out about llya.
(Yuna and David get to know Lily a bit before meeting Ilya)
pieced together, picture perfect by MOSTLYVOID
It was difficult to wrap her head around the idea that Rozanov-llya-missed his team flight to drive five hours seemingly for the sole purpose of bringing Yuna the largest bouquet of carnations she had ever seen, but if there was another explanation, it was beyond her.
(Ilya being an good son to Yuna)
Learning to Fly by WriteSmart
Yuna has let go of a lot in her life, including her own dream to play professional hockey. But that's alright; she has Shane and David and they have built a storybook legacy together. Then Ilya Rozanov gets hurt and suddenly Shane's calling her asking if they'll go pick up his archrival from the hospital.
(Yuna reflecting on Shane's life and getting to take care of Ilya)
Vibes Are Not Data by GlitterCity
Wyatt was not, like, nosy. For sure, he was interested. He was curious. He engaged with people, obviously, because most people were interesting and engaging and had cool thoughts and said neat stuff if you asked.
So, no. Wyatt wasn't nosy, but he wasn't stupid, either.
(An incredible fic that utilizes Wyatt's perception skills to a 100%)
Five and a Half Beers and Just as Many Chalupas by Erisenyo
Hollander as an opponent has always been focused and precise and an absolute nightmare for a defenseman, the kind of player you dread facing.
Hollander as a teammate is…well, he’s still focused and precise, and intense about every drill and lift and film session to the point of being more than a little intimidating.
Hollander on five-and-a-half beers and just as many chalupas is something else entirely.
The Centaurs get to know Shane Hollander.
(It's really fucking funny 100% would recommend)
Before It Gets Too Loud by cjr2
Wyatt Hayes and the rest of the Ottawa Centaurs find out that Shane Hollander isn't exactly what they'd imagined
(The Centaurs get together and get to see Ilya and Shane being open)
☆ Hayden eternal suffering (+ other boston / montreal players sometimes)
hayden's neverending suffering by mightydolphin
Teen / 12K / One-shot (series)
(Hayden and JJ finding out about Hollanov and Ilya is being a menace as always)
Lingua Russia by GrendelsMother
Not rated / 16K / Completed
A side story wherein Shane accidentally reveals that he speaks Russian while still playing for Montreal, which results in a cat and mouse game with a minor leaguer.
OC Rodion Tsetsov - Laval Arrows minor league center called up to replace a player.
(Just someone who's trying to figure out Shane and Ilya's relationship using the scientific method)
Zero rizz, just freckles and a weak backhand by badwolf323
Some moments throughout Game Changers in which Shane is incredibly bad at keeping secrets but luckily the people in his life are very oblivious/sold on the Hollanov rivalry lore.
(Totally recommend this, part two as well – it focuses on Ilya)
fresh out of any good judgment by gurlsrool
"I don't hate him!" Hayden says, which is only true because hate doesn't quite capture it. No, he despises Rozanov. In his defense, everyone with a pulse and without the last name Hollander does.
Or: 5 times Hayden doesn't get Shane and llya's relationship, +1 time he does.
(Hayden learing to appreciate his best friend's relationship – and the man he choose)
Scott Hunter is just trying to make the most of his closeted NHL career, keep his head down, wait until he retires before he tries find his person.
He doesn't want to know anything at all about these two dumb rookies and what they're getting up to behind the facade of their so-called rivalry... but they're making it really hard for him to ignore them.
Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are not Scott's problem. That's all there is to it.
(It's fun because he does not want to be a gay guru or get involved in their messy relationship but the keeps ruining into them)
quick, he needs more hockey! by SafelyCapricious
Kip sometimes teases Scott for how he prefers to stay off social media. But after some of the responses to his very public coming out, it's a survival mechanism more than not caring. Even Kip is less connected online than he used to be.
So the first sign Scott has that something had happened is when his coach catches him after practice - he stayed late to help two of the rookies - and tells him that management wants to talk to him as soon as possible.
Shane Hollander has been traded to the Admirals.
(Shane being absolutely amazing at hockey)
☆ Featuring random workers that get blindsided by how much Ilya and Shane love each other
it's too close for comfort by theoneiam2277
The doorbell rings just as Shane is finishing brushing his teeth - the first thing they rose to do, because he wants to kiss llya good morning - and he and llya exchange a confused look in the bathroom mirror. It's barely dawn, and llya's curls are adorably tousled from sleep as he scratches his ribs lazily, toothbrush dangling from the corner of his mouth.
Shane hesitates, then rinses his toothpaste out and runs a hand through his hair. "Fuck, it's probably anti-doping."
No one else would be here at this hour - unless it's an emergency
(Surprise anti-doping goes looking for Ilya, they find him at Shane's house)
the things you buy, the secrets i keep by sleepberries
Amélie's work days are usually boring. Sit at the counter, help people find things, process orders. If she's lucky, she'll get great commission when someone shows up to spend money for money's sake. Her only companions her phone and the near constant presence of Shane Hollander's Rolex campaigns.
Until Shane Hollander walks through the door.
i've been pushing for this for so long by LiarsandThieves22
ESPN: Shane Hollander To the Ottawa Centaurs after Tumultuous End to Montreal Metros Career
@CentaursGirlie1995: obviously i feel very badly for shane but my beautiful failson of a team getting the two best players because of homophobia is perhaps the only good thing homophobia has ever done
Or: Shane's first season on the Ottawa Centaurs, as told by everyone else in the world
(This is part two with the POV outsider but I strongly recommend reading the whole series)

Where's My Husband? by intwinedirevocably
Or: Ilya hurts his ankle and is out for a game. Shane has to do their pre-game superstition alone. Harris posts it on the internet and people predictably lose their shit.
shane hollander boy kisser confirmed! by chuyasexual
imagine if #Shayden was the #LarryStylinson of the HR/GC universe
