I have discovered the genius idea of using a screen reader to listen to HEATED RIVALRY fic while doing my chores or putting a puzzle together. There is seriously nothing like listening to Shane Hollander getting absolutely railed while I'm putting away laundry and sweeping the floors. It's what he would want. In my defense, I had to start doing this because the amount of absolutely incredible fic in this fandom is so insane that I can't keep up with it and definitely not because I have a fic addiction problem. I don't know what you mean. Anyway, here is a bunch of phenomenal fic that had me shriek-laughing and/or crying into my freshly washed clothes because the gay hockey show got me in the feelings place real hard.
HEATED RIVALRY - NO I WON’T BE CHILL ABOUT THE GAY HOCKEY PLAYERS SHOW:
Boston Boys by xpityx, ilya/shane & bears, NSFW, 58k wip
When the unsentimental financial imperative of the NHL sees Shane traded to the Boston Raiders, he and Ilya are thrown into closer extended proximity than ever before. As they adjust to life as teammates, they are forced to contend with the nature of their relationship -and must answer for themselves: is it even a relationship at all?
Phone call from a Boston jail by FlamesToDust, ilya/shane, NSFW, 16.4k
Shane gets himself into some unlikely trouble and needs to be bailed out of a Boston jail in the middle of the night. There's really only one person he can call, and it's the last person he wants to face... Set post-tuna melt in a universe where Rose doesn't happen.
high on hockey by goldengalaxies, ilya/shane & cast, 4.4k
Ilya Rozanov: Is true. You are so beautiful. I cannot believe you exist. So pretty. And I get to have you and love you and be your boyfriend- [Shane slams his hand over Ilya’s mouth, his expression panicked.] Shane Hollander: This interview is over! Cut the cameras, now! (the players at all-stars 2018 eat spiked brownies. cue a chaos + a hollanov reveal)
(Oh I believe in) Yesterday by queengoose, ilya/shane & wyatt/lisa & troy & centaurs, 9.4k
Time loops are just a fact of life to Wyatt, insane as that sounds. He’ll happily settle in for a repeat day every couple of weeks. Chances are he’ll wake up tomorrow morning and go to regularly scheduled practice. A teammate probably pissed off their wife, which is an easily fixed problem. Or, the Wyatt-Hayes-centric-time-loop-Boxing-Day-fight-fix-it-fic
biphasic by PenAndInkPrincess, ilya/shane, nsfw, 25.1k
“I’m sorry,” he says, turning heel and resisting the urge to just book it right for the front door only because he’d rather not have to explain to Hayden why he returned from a hookup with Boston Lily in men’s clothes that he certainly didn’t leave in. It’s not until he makes it halfway up the stairs to Rozanov’s bedroom that it occurs to him in a cold rush that it isn’t just anxiety that makes it this hard to breathe. “No,” he tells himself firmly, white knuckling the bannister and trying to take a deep breath just to prove that he can. It wheezes. (how the tuna meltdown is averted through the power of food allergies and anaphylaxis)
Busted by AC91, ilya/shane & hayden & j.j., NSFW, 13.2k
Hayden just wanted to surprise Shane with a guy’s night in. Shane had been flat lately, and he and JJ thought it would be nice to distract him with friendship. How they ended up stuck in a fucking closet watching Shane get dicked down harder than anyone in the history of the world has ever been dicked down, Hayden would never quite understand.
Influential by 409_conflict, ilya/shane & david/yuna, 13.9k
The problem is, no one knows how to market Ilya Rozanov's (in his own words) sexy Euro masculinity to an audience of white straight men. He needs the best. And if it happens to be his secret lover’s mother who despises his very existence, so be it.
Crushed by CoffeeDragon87, ilya/shane & troy/harris, 2.4k
Harris needs Shane Hollander to crush a watermelon with his thighs. For charity. OR "Is charity watermelon. Has rules."
One True Love by CaffeinatedFlumadiddle, ilya/shane & troy/harris & centaurs, 23.8k wip
In which Troy doesn’t immediately post Harris on his socials after coming out, and Ilya is inspired to come out shortly after. The result? An unfortunate misunderstanding, which leaves everyone thinking Baranov is the cutest couple in hockey. Everyone other than Shane and Harris that is.
Centerfold by FlameHazel18, ilya/shane & david/yuna, 4.8k
"I knew it!" Ilya crows much too loudly, smacking Shane in the chest with the magazine. "Shane Hollander, did you buy this to jerk off to?!" Or: Ilya is tasked with helping Shane clean out his childhood bedroom. He is totally, completely, extremely normal about this.
Montreal Metros Go Broke For Woke by 409_conflict, ilya/shane & voyageurs & bears, 16.7k
They may not have any idea how to do it, but there’s no way in hell the Montreal Metros are going to risk losing their Captain to a more accepting team. Full of determination, grit, open hearts, and absolutely no savvy, this team is going to learn how to be allies, come hell or high water.
Barbe-Q&A by prailock, ilya/shane & centaurs, nsfw, 7.7k
In their first summer after being outed, Shane finally accepts that invite to Bood's backyard barbecue. It could have been a relaxing night. But Ilya's brought vodka. And the Centaurs brought questions. Might as well rip off the band aid before he signs with Ottawa. Or How many shots is it worth to know what your Captain likes in bed?
multitasking by spelling__bee, ilya/shane & cast, NSFW, 7.3k
I am in hell, Ilya thinks. He's awkwardly hard in his cup and layers of gear. He can't focus. How the fuck is Hollander functioning like this? Is he actually so gifted at hockey that he can play at this level and still have space to let the sex demon in his brain run rampant? Is this what he's like all the time?
Eye of the Storm by Lily_wing, ilya/shane & david/yuna, NSFW, 20.9k wip
When Montreal is hit by a bad storm on the night of their game, Ilya thinks Shane might let him stay the night. What neither of them knows is that Shane's parents, also caught in the storm, have had the same idea.
the top 1% (of lovers) by Anonymous, ilya/shane, NSFW, 3.5k
He and Shane are in bed together, Ilya’s lips attached to Shane’s neck as they lazily grind against each other, when Shane says, “So you’ve slept with like eight hundred women.” Immediately, Ilya stops. He releases Shane’s neck—even though it makes Shane whine unhappily—and pulls back so he can meet Shane’s eyes. “What?” “You’ve slept with eight hundred women,” Shane says. He’s a bit pink in the cheeks, but that might just be the arousal. “I did the math."
macro by PenAndInkPrincess, ilya/shane, 19.4k
(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)
I'm Reading Your Lips (You're Speaking My Language) by some1_around, ilya/shane & david/yuna & svetlana & hayden, nsfw, 30.4k
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends. And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?
Two-Four-Eight-One-Oh-Eight (Ilya Hollander. Shane Rozanov.) by persimmonysnicket, ilya/shane & david/yuna & cliff, 4.8k
“He’s not sleeping.” Shane flares his nostrils—another gesture Yuna hasn’t seen in so many years. “He’s waiting for me to call a third time. Mom. Please. He’s—he’ll be so worried.” Yuna shifts her thumb and lets it drop. Is Yuna a bad mother if she hopes "Lily" doesn’t pick up?
quick, he needs more hockey! by SafelyCapricious, ilya/shane & scott/kip & carter, 10.5k
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.
Boston's Shining Star by whenpigssoar, ilya/shane, 13.6k
Ilya Rozanov has decade-long beef with Boston’s other star athlete. Told in vignettes.
MORE RECS UNDER THE CUT because I have more to yell about and shove at you all in an attempt to make you drown like I'm drowning. I'm good at sharing like that.
in between a thousand and one kisses by elumish, ilya/shane & centaurs, 1.7k
Yes, Shane is like the sun come down to earth, but for hockey. Yes, he married Ilya. Thank you for noticing.
Shoe box by EtoileGarden, ilya/shane & svetlana, 12.2k
He hadn’t meant to keep them. To make it a collection. But the shoe box shoved under his bed, (next to the shoebox full of family and hockey photos, and another box of random memorabilia from his childhood,) had been getting heavier and heavier.
Shane Hollander’s Gay Sex TedTalk for Hayden Pike by isto4u, ilya/shane & hayden, nsfw, 3.8k
Shane and Hayden get drunk together and Shane lets Hayden ask all the nasty questions he’s always had about gay sex.
what happens in vegas by kryptonian, ilya/shane, NSFW, omegaverse, 7.1k
“You are in heat at award show? Why would you hide this? Why would you not call out sick? Are you—are you insane? You care this much about trophy?”
Bet On It by Airuna, ilya/shane & hayden & voyageurs & bears, 7.8k wip
JayJason @Youdon’tknowme ‘Losing a bet’ would have let them get away with so much, though… Like why are you at your rival's game? I lost a bet. Why are you wearing your rival's jersey? I lost a bet. Why are you hanging out together? I lost a bet. Why are you making him breakfast in bed? I lost a bet.
Ilya's Weird and Wonderful (Canadian) Playlist by WatermelonTuesdays, ilya/shane & ryan/fabian & david & wyatt & troy/harris & dykstra & cast, 10.5k
A 6 + 1 with six of Ilya's experiences with Canadian music, and one experience with Russian music. Featuring a LOT of Canada-isms.
animal by makemegentle, ilya/shane & cast, nsfw, suicidal ideation/themes, 3k
On the way home from dropping Sveta off at the airport, Ilya thinks about killing himself.
A League of His Own by Promised_ivy, ilya/shane (& background shane/other & ilya/other) & nhl cast, 11.1k
Shane Hollander comes out as gay after a video of him talking to Rose Landry is leaked the week before he has to go to All-Stars 2017. Shane is not going to let a bunch of homophobes scare him. Although, as Ilya Rozanov is starting to figure out, they might not be as homophobic as they all seem...
the proposal by UglyGreenJacket, ilya/shane & cast, 5.9k
Ilya: I think Shane is going to break up with me. Bood: I’m sorry…what? Hayes: You think Shane Hollander is going to break up with you? Hayes: Shane Hollander. Hayes: The Shane Hollander who learned Russian for you? Bood: The Shane Hollander who drives back and forth from Montreal any chance he gets to see you?
boring? never heard of it by noisehues, ilya/shane, NSFW, 3.5k
Shane shouldn't care about what the Centaurs have to say about sex life years into marriage. They say it's normal for it to get boring, and he can't help but disagree with how far from the truth that statement is. Until he sees Ilya laughing with Haas about it. That's when he starts to spiral. or: Shane thinks Ilya finds their sex life boring. Ilya thinks he's insane. They fuck about it.
toss and turn without me, boy by sterica, ilya/shane, nsfw, 4.2k
Shane and Ilya start sleeping over. It still takes them years to figure everything out. Or, 5 times Shane & Ilya have illicit sleepovers and 1 time they realise they can have nights like this for the rest of their lives.
"Why did I say that?" and other unhelpful 3AM ponderings by aimee_s, ilya/shane & scott/kip & carter, 1.2k
"I’d show up for any dude who’s that brave." Carter Vaughn has never said anything homophobic in regards to Shane Hollander. He even sent him a message of support after him and his now-husband got outed. Knowing that doesn't really help right now, though.
Antipathy by AC91, ilya/shane & david/yuna, 9.7k
Yuna can’t help it. There’s just something about Ilya Rozanov that rubs her the wrong way.
Yuna Hollander Figures It Out by beautifulduckweed, ilya/shane & yuna, nsfw, 2.1k
Yuna is waiting for her son to finally come out and tell the truth: that he's in love with his teammate and best friend of the last eight years, Hayden Pike.
Frottage at the Cottage by dntat, ilya/shane & wyatt & hayden/jackie & david/yuna, NSFW, 17.1k
5 times Ilya tries to fuck his husband, and 1 time he actually does.
Little Brother by fandom_commitment_issues, ilya(/shane) & alexei, 4.3k
Leaving after his father's funeral is the last time Ilya plans to be in Moscow. Alexei comes to say goodbye.
#OneGoalDoesNotBuiltACareer by Airuna, ilya/shane & hayden & troy/harris & bears & centaurs, 9.8k
But Ilya’s not here. And Shane is bored. Or. Shane spends a post game interview explaining that his husband is the best captain in the league and accidentally starts a hashtag.
on tuna melts and first names by UglyGreenJacket, ilya/shane & centaurs, 2.8k
“Today,” he says loudly. “Today, I will tell you about the time Shane got jealous because Tro–” “NO, Ilya,” Shane interrupts him, and Ilya greatly enjoys watching Troy’s head snap towards Shane, who glows like a freshly picked tomato. And that’s fine, really. Being Shane Hollander’s husband means he has so much material to work with. “Okay, well, what about the time you bought us a sex building?” he asks, and barely gets the sentence out before Zane Boodram makes a loud exclamation.
Breaking News: Your Mutual Is Ilya Rozanov by thingcalledlove, ilya/shane & harris, 1.4k
Ilya sends out a tweet...from the wrong account.
afraid, yes, but by spelling__bee, ilya/shane & david/yuna & irina & svetlana & galina, NSFW, suicidal ideation/themes, 14k
This was what tended to scare Shane the most, when Ilya was unwell: the gradual loss of him, despite being physically there. He would go quiet, blank, slow to speak and slow to respond, nothing like the pulse of intense energy and liveliness that sparked in him at his baseline. Shane missed him, when he was away in that place. It was not a place Ilya could always describe, and it was not somewhere Shane could rescue him from, or even join him in for company. So Shane waited, every time, for him to come back. He always came back. That was the only relief in it.
the tricks out of our sleeves by outherenow, ilya/shane & scott/kip & cliff & bears, NSFW, 54.8k wip
“Is Boston even interested.” Ilya scoffs at him like Shane is an idiot. “Is sky blue? Is water wet? Is English stupid language? Yes, Hollander, of course we want best player in the league.” Ilya mutters more in disgruntled Russian and Shane gets up off the couch to Google Russian lessons on his ipad while continuing their conversation. Or, a Shane goes to Boston story.
Centaur of Attention by MeesterHollander, ilya/shane & hayden & cast, 10.6k
The missing scene before TLG where Ilya gets traded to Ottawa, and Hayden starts to get suspicious. Set before "Dinner with Hayden"
lost in translation by constellaetions, ilya/shane & hayden & anya & cast, NSFW, 19.2k wip
Ilya Rozanov has a gift. He can speak to animals, which has earned him an incredibly successful career as a pet psychic, and far too much information about what people do when they think their pets aren’t watching. Shane Hollander has a problem. His cat, Pork, is permanently miserable. After exhausting every sensible option, Shane turns to the supernatural for assistance. After their first appointment, Pork grows visibly happier - his cat’s found a hobby and renewed sense of purpose for achieving his only goal: to destroy Ilya for good.
Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Idea by niinis, ilya/shane, nsfw, 5.6k
“Just stick your dick in. Make it fit. Can you do that?”

Here it is, the promised HR fanfiction rec list! As it often happens with my rec lists, it might grow later ;)
all the things he did by HR (blankjournals)
Summary:
4 times Shane was strict with Ilya and the 1 time he wasn't ft Ilya having an emotional crisis over it.
and i spit out the seeds by linearity
Summary:
A video of Shane sucking Ilya’s dick is leaked. Over the next twenty-four hours, Ilya goes on an odyssey.
at the lonely end of the rink, you and me by vahosi
Summary:
The first time Ilya coughed up a flower, he was kneeling over a toilet in the penthouse of the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, for entirely the wrong fucking reason to be kneeling over a toilet in Vegas.
There was no point in trying to pretend it wasn’t happening. He wasn’t an idiot. Hadn’t he seen his own mother waste away, coughing up clumps of clean white chamomile stained shocking scarlet? Hadn’t he known, on some level, that he was fated to follow in her footsteps one day, to throw his entire heart and soul into loving a person who would never — could never — love him back?
No, Ilya knew what this was. He also knew he’d never set foot on the ice again if anyone found out.
Blindly, he reached for the toilet paper, wiped his mouth, and then flushed the whole thing. Petals, too. He didn’t want to know what kind they were. Pizdets. It should’ve been a fucking maple leaf.
❁ ❆ ❁ ❆ ❁
the Hanahaki AU, in which Ilya loves Shane Hollander’s stupid face so much it makes him sick (literally)
NEW The Bench Bay by hotpocketss
Summary:
“You know,” Ilya adds, like he’s continuing a casual thought, “Hotel was good idea. It’s warm, no ice, no… audience.”
Shane’s grip tightens on the strap of his bag, but he still doesn’t respond. He keeps skating, eyes fixed ahead, pretending the words don’t land even as heat crawls back up his neck.
“But no,” he continues, clearly enjoying himself. “You choose rink, very bold.”
“Fuck off,” Shane exhales through his nose.
Ilya keeps talking as they slow near the boards, skating lazy circles around Shane like he has nowhere else to be. “Next time,” he says mildly, like he’s already planned it, “We use a hotel. I promise, much less… scandal.”
_____
Shane and Ilya get freaky on the ice, LIKE LITERALLY on the ice during the All Star Game week.
be neighborly! by steelknuckles
Summary:
Ilya's new neighbor is annoying. Sucks that he's ridiculously handsome, and good at cooking, and Ilya might be falling in love with him.
Big fish, little fish by penpen_xo
Summary:
Shane had schedules to stick to, regimens to maintain, plays to study, drills to perfect.
He needed to eat the same thing, every day. Train in the best way to keep his mind and body fit by keeping to strict programs. He needed to stick to his plan so that he could ensure that everything also went, well…to plan.
He needed all of these things to fall in place otherwise— well he tried not to think too hard about the otherwise. He couldn’t let otherwise happen.
Basically he’d treated his body like a fucking temple for majority of his life and had no problems with it yet— And then he turned 30.
Broken Glass by prinny_a
Summary:
When a visit to his father turns violent, there's only one place Ilya wants to go.
set post-rose breakup and pre-all stars game.
Canon Compliance by ThePromptWasntThisLong (shredded_potato)
Summary:
Ilya discovers RPF. Naturally, he decides the best course of action is to read the filthiest scenes aloud and then meticulously reenact every single one.
Shane is mortified. He is also very, very turned on.
can't rush the dawn before it is time by Wretchedheart
Summary:
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.
careful all the time by Anonymous
Summary:
“I was thinking about the honeymoon phase thing.”
“Yes?” Ilya said.
“I think it’s different for us. I don’t want us to be all blissful and then only start fighting when we’re back to barely seeing each other. I think it’s good if we figure things out now, when we have the time. Whatever needs figuring out. So we have a solid foundation going into the season. Sort of like training camp.”
“So this means you will keep getting mad at me for things,” Ilya said.
Shane smiled, rolled his eyes. “Yeah, exactly,” he said.
“Good, I find it very hot,” Ilya said, and kissed him.
An insecure over-thinker and a self-destructive secret-keeper walk into a relationship.
clear to a hedgehog by magneticwave
Summary:
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.
Concussion Protocol by cjr2
Summary:
Instead of Shane, it is Ilya who suffers a concussion during the Boston-Montreal game in April 2017. Dazed and agitated, Ilya briefly starts speaking and responding only in Russian and the medics can’t calm him down. Luckily, Shane started studying Russian after Ilya spoke to him in Russian on the phone from Moscow. For no particular reason. Certainly not because he’s fallen in love with Ilya Rozanov.
In Montreal with lingering concussion symptoms, Ilya is advised not to fly home for a few days, and the hospital won’t release him without assurances that he has someone to stay with him until his symptoms improve. Luckily, Shane conveniently has a condo in Montreal no one knows about and a few days before he has to travel again.
But Ilya’s symptoms don’t resolve after a few days. Which is okay; Shane can handle it. He can take care of Ilya, study Russian, lead his team into the playoffs, and keep Ilya’s continued presence in Montreal a secret. He can do everything, no problem. He is Shane Hollander after all.
or
A whump fanfiction that is secretly a fix-it.
Detained by FestiveFerret
Summary:
"Did you see what happened to Rozanov after the game?"
Shane's head snapped up and he lost his rhythm on the rowing machine. He slowed to a stop so he wouldn't hit himself in the face. One of the weight benches exploding wouldn't be enough to pull his attention away from his teammates' conversation.
"No, what happened?"
"Dude got fucking arrested."
Dig Two Graves by devovitsuasartes
Summary:
There’s no humor in Shane’s voice. It’s cold, hard, determined. “When we meet them on the ice next season, I want to fucking destroy them.”
After a moment, he feels Ilya nod thoughtfully behind him.
“Is good plan. Let’s fucking destroy them.”
The Montreal Voyageurs won't stop slinging mud at Shane in the press, so Shane and Ilya decide to get revenge the best way they know how.
enforcer by @moonlitsgarden
Summary:
Ilya knows there is a thing about himself he has to always keep hidden in the deepest recesses of his body, behind his molars and in his core. He thinks Shane Hollander might be the same, except the thing about him he cannot hide.
Ilya Rozanov is the biggest hockey talent of his generation. So is Shane Hollander.
But over the years Ilya notices that the vicious media and the clamouring fans and some of his more foul-mouthed teammates treat Hollander differently than any other hockey player.
everything that kills me (makes me feel alive) by asocialconstruct
Summary:
The photo is blurry, timestamped 2:17 AM, but there's no mistaking Ilya Rozanov walking into Shane Hollander's building the night Boston wins in Montreal.
By morning, it's everywhere.
--
For five years, they've been careful. But one fan with a camera phone unravels it all, and suddenly Shane and Ilya have to answer questions about what they are besides rivals. Shane's team wants him to deny everything. Ilya's family demands the same.
Canon divergence where the secret comes out three years early, and Shane and Ilya have to decide if what they have is real under intense media pressure. Set right before the tuna melt game would have happened.
NEW for a split sec, I was a train wreck by Anonymous
Summary:
Never mind the next two weeks, the next eight hours stretched endlessly in front of him. He had no idea how to occupy his time. His house was basically empty, which sounded sad but was really a good thing, evidence he’d built himself the life he wanted – where he always had something to do, outside and with other people. Ilya had been restless for as long as he could remember, had never been able to sit still. He’d gotten in trouble for it as a kid at the dinner table and he got in trouble for it as a full grown man on the team bus. He’d gotten in trouble for it when the doctors had been trying to take the x-ray, his leg jumping without his permission.
Ilya gets injured, stops leaving the house, loses his mind, learns to read tarot, and sends Shane Hollander a lot of photos.
from the cold by stammiviktor
Summary:
It’s winter in Ottawa and Ilya has hunkered down in his big, empty mansion to weather a nasty flu. Then his phone buzzes.
— Guardian™ Security Alert: Movement detected at front door
— (1) Missed Call: Yuna Hollander
Or: The Hollanders have a new son to take care of. Ilya has no idea what’s going on.
Gold Rush by joannabobanna
Summary:
It’s usually on nights like tonight, when sleep evades him, that the worry starts to creep in.
Because what about a year from now when the Centaurs have just barely eked through another season with the barest handful of wins and the Voyageurs have won themselves yet another cup? Or in three years from now, when Shane is closer to his forties than his twenties, and he realizes that his entire list of carefree, youthful romps with his preferred gender is made up of one nervous fumble with Mexico top and Hollywood blowjob guy each and then all the years with Ilya?
And somehow, somewhere between the inky darkness of Ilya’s sleepless night and the bright, early morning trip back home to Ottawa, Ilya resolves to propose...an arrangement.
Because what did it matter if Shane had meaningless sex with other men as long Ilya held his heart, right? And if it preserved Shane’s happiness in the long term…if it kept the already delicate Jenga tower of factors that dictated their relationship from finally toppling over…then it was the obvious choice.
Right?
Or the one where Ilya proposes opening up their relationship: a deep dive on that one scene in chapter twenty-one of the The Long Game.
Holding Patterns by thecouchsofa
Summary:
“Do you want to know how it feels?”
Shane let his hand fall back to the couch. He pushed himself up onto his elbows and lifted a brow at Rozanov. “What – holding the Cup? You’ve already made that joke once.”
“No.” Rozanov’s fingers encircled Shane’s wrist and then he was pulling Shane’s hand between his legs.
Or: Shane tops.
i can take a little bit more by bee_slut
Summary:
It starts out like a good night would. Shane pressing him against their bedroom wall, kissing alongside his jaw and his neck, it’s usually an indicator of when a good time is about to turn even better.
Except.
Today has been…off.
Ilya Rozanov vs. Canadian Vocabulary by Honeybees_n_flowers
Summary:
“You named your coin after the stupid wolf bird?”
“I didn't. The country did, I guess. I don't know, I never really thought about it.” He paused for a second, then smirked. “A two dollar coin is called a toonie.”
Or: Four times Ilya Rozanov thought a Canadian word was stupid, and one time he was on Canada's side.
i see you, i know you, i love you by allapologies
Summary:
"Whose dick was Hollander gonna fuck her with anyway?” O'Connell says.
“What’d you mean?” the other guy asks.
“Asian dick, man.” O’Connell pinches his forefinger and thumb together. “No fucking chance that thing is big enough.”
Is plenty big, Ilya nearly says, before catching the tip of his tongue between his teeth.
is it the same for you? by notwritinganovel
Summary:
Shane releases what feels like his first exhale in forever—Ilya Rozanov, taken out by the common flu. Not ignoring him. Not ending anything. Still, the knot in his chest doesn’t ease completely with the vision of Ilya unwell and alone in Shane’s head.
JANE
Are you at your house?
LILY
Where else, Jane?
JANE
Don’t fall asleep. I’ll be there soon.
LILY
No, am sick. I told you.
JANE
I heard you. I’ll be there soon.
Or, Ilya’s sick and Shane wants, and wants, and wants.
Learning Curve by AutumnFoxed
Summary:
The first thing Ilya’s brain processed was the text in the search bar.
normal amount of touching while watching a movie
how to initiate intimacy without being awkward

Shane accidentally leaves his laptop open. Ilya discovers an extensive Google search history on how to be a good boyfriend.
Ilya conducts a very thorough performance review.
Little More Close by maplesalad
Summary:
“Okay. You want to say no, you want to fight me. Pretty boy, all alone in his glass house. You want me to force you?”
He didn’t need Shane to answer, really; Shane was fully hard against Ilya’s thigh and pink under his freckles. But it was best to be direct about these things. And he wanted to hear Shane say it, anyway.
“I—yeah. Make me. Is that too weird?”
The Long Way Home by kooksie
Summary:
Shane can’t stand his college roommate and teammate, Ilya Rozanov. Can’t stand his arrogance and his messiness and his constant sleeping around.
But then the entire team, Shane included, welcomes their families to campus for Parents Weekend.
And Shane also can’t stand that Ilya is alone.
NEW lover of the russian queen by satorussuguru
Summary:
Ilya cannot help the wide smile that breaks out across his face. "You ran here," he says, reaching out to smooth Shane's rumpled clothes, fingers working the chewed-up hoodie string free from his mouth while he sits very still and watches Ilya with wide eyes. "Across many states and up four flights of stairs—where are your grandma candies?—to ask if I have secret baby.”
loving this body by beetlesandstars, kryptonian
Summary:
Ilya picks up on the third ring, breathing heavily into the phone. Shane hears a door slam shut through the device. “Do not yell at me.”
Shane stares at the half-empty bottle of vodka on the coffee table. “You suck.”
“I suck? I scored hat-trick! In your stupid body! I have not eaten in six hours, Hollander. I have not pissed. I have not laid down. I want to go home.”
“Rozanov–”
“Your mother has called twenty times. Your manager has called thirty times. Your father text me picture of crossword puzzle and ask for help. Clue is about American President from the 1980s. I cannot help!”
OR: the hollanov bodyswap fic.
the lucky one by beetlesandstars
Summary:
Tomorrow, he'll call Shane and apologise. He'll fix what he broke. He doesn't want Shane to be angry at him anymore.
He doesn’t remember swerving to avoid a merging truck.
He also doesn’t remember hitting the tree.
Or: Ilya gets into a car accident. Shane is there to pick up the pieces.
magnolia & heartache by magicjohnson
Summary:
“When did you start feeling like this? Did it come out of nowhere or you think something happened?” she asks.
“It started in Detroit in December, last year. I do not remember it from games in Vancouver and Edmonton before that.”
“Do anything out of the ordinary then?”
“No, I do not—” he comes to a complete stop, and Ash walks ahead of him for a few steps before turning.
“What? What is it?”
The picture swirls in front of him like vibrant water colours splashing on a canvas. Cliff beckons him over to where he and Victor are perched on their bikes, and Victor holds his phone out to him. The headline is clear: Is Rose Landry dating MLH star Shane Hollander?
A pit forms in Ilya’s stomach, cramping uncomfortably as if carved with a rusted knife, and distantly he recalls feeling the same way back in December.
There is no fucking way that’s been the problem.
or, hot off the press from my tl after episode 4: ‘ilya is the first alpha to go through rejection sickness’
morality clause by canadadry
Summary:
Morals Clause: A contract provision that may be used in endorsement, spokesperson, and similar agreements to give the advertiser the right to terminate the deal, seek damages, or remove branding if the individual engages in actions bringing disrepute, scandal, or negative attention, protecting the brand's image and financial interests.
Yuna does her research—apparently, a morals clause is common, in contracts like this.
It bothers her, a little, how vague it is, but ultimately, she doesn’t see an issue with it—at least, not really.
Shane is many things, and she is so, so excited to see how much more he becomes… but, for all of the many things she imagines in his future, she doesn't think he's capable of doing anything that could be accurately described as scandalous.
She's wrong.
NEW 911, Jackie speaking by camiii
Summary:
“Jackie?” Shane’s question cuts through the silence, and Jackie winces at the frantic rasp of his voice.
“Right here, honey.” She tries to keep her voice light, wrapping her hand around Hayden’s wrist and meeting his worried gaze over the phone. “What’s going on?”
“I need your help.” Shane croaks out. “They called, but they won’t - I need to know if he’s okay, but they won’t tell me.” The end of his sentence disappears in something so close to a sob it makes something in Jackie’s chest freeze over.
no one noticed by residentrookie
Summary:
It's the night of the Boston vs Montreal game, and Shane Hollander isn't letting whatever illness he's contracted stop him from getting out on the ice, no matter how sick he actually is. Ilya Rozanov, it seems, is the only person who notices.
Whatever that means.
Off day by mareastralis
Summary:
Ilya knows he has to get up, soon, but he doesn't feel up to the task today. Shane notices.

Summary:
Drunk Ilya decides to call Shane.
Our Captain, Their Problem by Bruja_oscura
Summary:
Ilya Rozanov has a "tiny car accident" (his words). Shane Hollander has a full-scale, system-shutdown panic attack about it. Meanwhile, a horrified Hayden is praying for someone to throw him in a lake and tell him that this is all just a big joke, or maybe for a meteor strike; he is really not picky. J.J., on the other hand, is trying to bleach the image of his sweet captain making out with Ilya fucking Rozanov from his brain.
It's a very normal day for the Montreal Canadiens.
Pike Children to the Rescue by Skaboom
Summary:
When Hayden misinterprets Shane having a panic attack on the phone, he decides that nothing could help Shane calm down cheer up like a surprise visit from his best friend and four very adorable, very loud children.
or
Hayden thinks Shane is having a panic attack during their phone call while Ilya is blowing him, and proceeds to drag his children to the cottage to surprise Shane, only to find Ilya Rozanov is already there. Hayden finds out about them, and has to reconcile his hate for Ilya with his affinity for his best friend.

Summary:

First Time Bottoming…
Shane_Hollander24: 7 years ago
shaneswood: 2 days ago
ur telling me shane hollander has been on reddit this whole time talking about bottoming and we only JUST found out?
a simple case of mistaken identity by LiarsandThieves22
Summary:
"What could Hollander possibly need with Boston social media lady?” Rozanov asked.
“Shane’s in love with her,” Hayden said.
Rozanov’s face did something very weird.
--
Or: after becoming a bit obsessed with solving the Mystery of Boston Lily, Hayden thinks he finally has it figured out. She must work for the Boston Raiders. Now all he has to do is find her next time he's in Boston and tell her that her and Shane shouldn't have to hide their relationship.
Problem is, the only person he can find is Ilya Rozanov, and Rozanov is being a real dick about the whole thing.
NEW Sinking While Swimming by CaffeinatedFlumadiddle
Summary:
“Maybe you don't have to-”
“Uh-uh. No backtracking now.” Hayden pointed a finger at him. “If you tell Shane, fantastic. Would love that, quite frankly, but until you do, I want those goddamn pictures, Rozanov. Am I clear?” Ilya wanted to make some quip about Pike trying to get a different kind of picture out of him, but given the circumstances... He just nodded. “Good. My kids tragically love the fuck out of you, so figure this out.” Ilya nodded again. “Alright then.”
Silence followed. Ilya eventually got up, and Hayden awkwardly walked him to the door.
“Ilya,” he said, surprising him with the first name. “I know what I say doesn’t particularly matter, and I am mainly just a fail-safe for this situation, but…” He opened the front door and clicked his tongue. “For what it’s worth, you’re a good guy and don’t deserve the shit your brain apparently puts you through.”
"I'm a married man, Pike."
Or
Ilya’s depression shifts into some self-harming tendencies, despite how well he can justify most of it. An unexpected cavalry comes together.
(AKA I found a story filled with sex and decided to hone in on my other favorite things: mental health and complex family dynamics)
something you can fix by some1_around
Summary:
Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.
And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.
Just once. Just a single nod.
Why did he have to nod?
“Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”
“Of course.”
Of course.
“Was it better?”
“Yes.”
+++
Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

Strip It Down by inexplicablymine
Summary:
Ilya can’t believe his eyes. There is a huge twenty-foot-tall photo of his— of Shane Hollander in a pair of Calvin Klein briefs giving the camera his “come fuck me” look.
Or, Shane does a Calvin Klein campaign, Ilya has feelings about it.
NEW Sun in an empty room by theaa (WIP)
Summary:
Shane wanted to hold Ilya’s hand. He wanted to touch something that wasn’t the edge of the exam table, which he currently had in a white-knuckled grip, fingers curled around the edge. Ilya was worried, and Shane had made a mistake in banishing him, and he felt bad about that, and about the oddly sympathetic way the doctor was looking at him. Shane had never felt comfortable being pitied.
“My knee’s fucked,” Shane continued, a little more flatly; under control. It’s what he’d suspected deep down, after all. “And so I can’t play hockey. I’m done.”
they say it's my fault but I want (him) so much by HR (blankjournals)
Summary:
He needs to move, maybe get Rozanov’s attention before he loses his nerves.
And then the room tilts. His vision narrows, red light smearing into pink and white streaks. Shane staggers. The beer slips from his fingers. It shatters, foam splashing his shoes, glass skittering away. His knees give out like someone kicked him, and his hands shoot forward to hold himself upright.
His left palm lands in broken glass, though he doesn't feel it. What he notices is the certainty that everyone sees, that they can smell him—something sour and wrong. His scent, despite patches and care, has turned exposed.
OR: What if we took the club scene from episode 4 and had Shane collapse from experiencing Omega Rejection Syndrome after seeing Ilya dancing with someone else?
Til They Retire Your Number by technicallyverycowboy
Summary:
They lapse back into a comfortable silence. Shane looks at Ilya as he is and thinks about Ilya as he was at seventeen, smoking in the back of a Saskatchewan parking lot. The image is almost unbearably tender for Shane, where his own seventeen year old thrill at seeing Ilya Rozanov meets all the things Shane knows about that lonely boy now.
Shane thinks: Do you love number 81 more than you love this man?
"Hey," Ilya says, brushing his knuckles over Shane's cheek. "Whatever I do, I will be there when you come home."
Ilya decides to retire. Shane is very normal about it.

United Front by kooksie
Summary:
After Russia crashes and burns at the Olympics, six months pass where Ilya cuts Shane out completely, refusing to answer his texts. So when they both get booked for yet another ad campaign, Shane arrives on set with a strict plan to ignore Ilya entirely.
But then he learns the premise of the entire campaign: making fun of Ilya’s English.
It will take a lot for Shane to forgive him, sure. It won’t take nearly as much for Shane to stand up for him.
we'll be afraid of nothing by satorussuguru
Summary:
“Game is over,” he says. “You won. I lost. I was annoying. Normal.”
“That’s not—” Shane starts, then stops, because he actually doesn't know how to finish that thought without sounding like an idiot. His jaw works, teeth grinding together.
That's not what I meant. That's not the point. You said I was boring and you were right and I need you to say it again so I know where I stand, so I know what you think of me, so I can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.
He settles for: “You were kind of an asshole.”
Well, That Happened by Franks22
Summary:
“Jesus Christ.” Shane says with feeling.
“Mm, Jesus Christ.” Ilya Rozanov’s voice pipes up behind him.
“Oh god.” Shane says with feeling.
“Yes. Oh god.” Ilya Rozanov’s voice pipes up from behind him.
“Oh shit. Holy fucking shit.” Shane says, swaying a little where he stands. “Am I dying?”
“Pretty sure is panic attack. Place head between knees.”
It was placing his head between knees that got them into this predicament in the first place.
Or
How far can Shane spiral after accidentally bonding with his hockey rival?
Apparently, quite a bit.
white collar crimes by Anonymous
Summary:
So Shane Hollander is, how do you say in English, a dirty little thief. A clothing thief, to be precise. Ilya can't say he saw that coming, but he also can't pretend he's all that mad about it.
His shirt looks good on his Shane. On Shane. On Hollander.

unfair advantage | 1.6K | Ilya leans forward in his chair, deliberately, to put his mouth right next to the microphone. “Oh wow,” Ilya says brightly. His Russian accent is thicker than usual. “Drapeau must be trying so hard to seduce me. But I am sorry, I am already taken. A one man man, I am.” | Great characterisation, perfect Ilya voice. And this fic contains the best Ilya-chirps-Scott-Hunter line ever.
we could get better mileage by @twinkwolf | 6.9K | "Have you ever gotten someone pregnant?" | This fic discusses abortion and there's a pretty graphic description, FYI. If you can stomach this, it's such a fantastic story. A great exploration of Shane and his feelings towards the idea of parenthood. And a lovely portrayal of Shane and Jackie's friendship, which is something I'm a sucker for. It also features some smoking hot sex scene and also a really believable, grown-up version of Ilya and Shane. Highly recommended.
A Friend of the Family by @twicesonnet| 11.9K | Two months after Jackie lets the backyard fire pit fall over and just stands there letting it burn, Hayden has a boys trip. Arrangements are made. Enter: Svetlana Vetrova, daughter of the famous Soviet goaltender, and Ilya Rosanov’s best friend.| This is the best Jackie character study I've seen so far. Jackie here is a real person, much more than the magical being who does emotional labour for Hayden in most stories. And I love how open-ended this is.
I know that I feel it, but I don't know the name | 12K | David Hollander gets in a car accident while Shane and Yuna are travelling. Ilya, newly traded to Ottawa, is the only one available. He handles it pretty well. Until he doesn't.| David is in an accident. Ilya in this one almost broke me. It gave me all the feels.
Image Management by @409-conflict and ritualist| 9K | During his rookie year, Shane goes to a Halloween party at a Montreal gay bar to confirm some suspicions about himself. Unfortunately, it’s 2010, so the official photographer uploads a few hundred photos to the bar’s Facebook page.| Great use of socmed. And I just love how 409_conflict writes Yuna. Also, this is possibly the only time I've ever felt something resembling a positive feeling towards Grigori Rozanov? The power of transformative works!
tender by @barkerandlovelace| 18.3K | Ilya had dismissed the feeling out of hand, except he has now just spent half an hour in the bicycle shop considering the difference between 190 gsm and 250 gsm merino wool and which would best keep Shane warm while wicking sweat during his morning commutes. This is yet another thing Ilya has never done before. The only person whose sweat he has ever contemplated the wicking of has been himself.| Amazing full AU. AMAZING. Ilya is still a hockey player. Shane has a government job. They meet after Ilya retires. The perfect mix of fluffy/funny/tender with stellar characterisation.Imo, it's on a par with the AUs by magneticwave and Vera Dragon, I can't think of any higher praise than this.
think twice (and come back for a third time) | 70k | Shane is heavier than he used to be; his weight bears down on Ilya in a new way. He’s put on pounds of muscle since Ilya last touched him like this. Ilya flattens his palms, skims them under Shane’s undershirt, feels the flat solidity of his abs, the bulk of his lats, the swell of his chest. It’s the same and it’s new, this body; it’s the boy he couldn’t stop thinking about when he was 18 and the man he loved enough to let go at 26 and the person who somehow always comes to find him when he’s lost. A stranger, and the love of his life.| Canon divergence. Ilya and Shane breakup and never get back together. Very angsty. Well-written, good characterisation. Lovely Yuna/Ilya.
big things happen every time we meet BY @trippedlaces| 14.5k | Halfway through Shane and Ilya’s first season playing together in Ottawa, an online sports betting company figures out how to make itself the main character when it comes to social media’s new favorite topic.| Extremely funny, good use of socmed. Great characterisation too, especially Shane, who comes off as suitably hockey-obsessed. :D
too busy making my own waves by @themardia| 4.4K | In Hayden’s defense, JJ’s new habit of dropping chirps that sound like they’ve come straight out of Shakespeare just seems like another round of JJ being his usual weird, over the top self. And hey, if he wants to call the opposing team a bunch of “malicious gnomes” or “mud-licking wretches”, he can have at it. (After Scott Hunter coming out last season, everyone's making some adjustments.)| A much kinder look at JJ than canon, and it totally works. Love him and Hayden trying to be better human beings because they love Shane.
Untouchable Face by @zenaidamacrouras1 | 76k | Shane was twelve when hockey scouts started showing up to his games. He was barely fifteen when a check went horribly wrong, fucked his knee to hell and gave him a grade III concussion. During rehab he found swimming, and he was seventeen when he went to the Olympics as an alternate for freestyle swim events. He’s 24 and working for his mom’s sports PR company when he meets Ilya Fucking Rozanov. May contain: Shane Hollander navigating what it means to be mostly normal when your whole childhood was about preparing you for greatness. Shane Hollander attempting to flirt. Possibly less than 100% accurate descriptions of what a sports PR agent does.| I'm extremely picky about AUs where Shane is not a hockey player but this one totally worked for me. Extremely cute.
the intricate brocade of this happiness by @always-waxing-crescent| 10K | But Ilya shakes his head, absolutely mute. There’s no universe, no universe where he can talk about this. He moved to America to forget. | A brutal look at Ilya's childhood and the new phase of his life after the Cottage. Yuna isn't immediately enamoured with him and I love this characterisation. Interesting exploration of his relationship with Alexei too.
the suicidal duckling | 9.7K | Ilya had thought it was dumb, when Galina suggested it. A code word for when his mental health was bad—he and Shane didn’t even have a code word for sex, and Ilya was regularly tying Shane to the bed and slapping his ass until it was as red as a tomato. “Is there a reason you’re calling me?” Shane asks now, voice echoey over the phone. “Or is this part of your strategy to win our argument?” Ilya swallows hard. “Constantinople,” he says.| I love it when fic show Ilya and Shane fighting, in a believable way. As someone who's been in a relationship with the same person for 20 years, sometimes I like some reality in my romantic escapism. I also like it when fic focuses on Ilya's depression. This story has both and they're both excellent!
