HEATED RIVALRY - NO I WON’T BE CHILL ABOUT THE GAY HOCKEY PLAYERS SHOW:

Hall Pass by hideeho, ilya/shane, 1.3k     "Tell me, Hollander, who is your hall pass?" In which Ilya asks a question and is completely chill and not at all irrational about Shane's response.

lines of lightning by moonsock, ilya/shane & centaurs, NSFW, 13.8k     The road to the Stanley Cup is fraught with expectations, injuries, and worst of all, conversations about feelings.

ask anything of me (except to leave you). by Joooceee, ilya/shane & centaurs, 6k     “Ilya,” he said, the name escaping like an exhale. He had so much to say. So many things that needed fixing. So many apologies he owed him. “Shane, please-“ “I’ll go.” “Yes. Thank you.” “No - not… not to Montreal. To the party. If you’ll still have me.“

not-so-boring shane hollander by moonysbookshelf, ilya/shane & hayden & scott, nsfw, 2.5k     Ilya wants to know what Scott Hunter said, but mostly he just wants to get on Shane's nerves lol.

The Ottawa Centaurs Relationship Chart by leialoo7, ilya/shane & centaurs, NSFW, 2.4k     Shane and Ilya are thrilled to be on the same team this year but can't resist a little on-ice fighting. The team is very concerned.

Puck Bunny by Lilbaebloo, ilya/shane, NSFW, 3.2k     Shane wears Ilya's jersey. Ilya's brain short-circuits.

leave your marks by theoneiam2277, ilya/shane, NSFW, 3.3k     "You marked me today," he says. It's calm, a statement, but Shane backs up a step, heart hammering in his chest. Ilya is at his most dangerous when he's still, and Shane knows his partner - he will not fucking call him a lover - well enough to sense a devious idea brewing under the surface. One that will likely leave Shane equally turned on and embarrassed. He can't help but mouth off, though. "Yeah. What are you going to do about it, Rozanov?"

The Love Toe by BluishFrog, ilya/shane & centaurs, 1.6k     Ilya insists his broken toe counts as sex injury. Shane disagrees both with that statement, and even more with Ilya proudly telling their whole team about it. or: how a broken toe establishes itself as symbol of love.

The Last Boston Year by GlitterCity, ilya/shane & scott, 15k wip     “So,” Shane said, after another minute. “Welcome to Montreal.” Ilya just started laughing, his body shaking against Shane’s. “Do not tell me you prepare for all your home games this way,” he said. “I shouldn’t have prepared for any home games this way,” Shane said, glancing at the clock by the bed. He should go, but he couldn’t make himself.

in love with everything that you do by evilrussianprincess, ilya/shane, NSFW, 3.2k     OR - Ilya is a little too happy when he sees Shane get into a fight with Scott Hunter on live TV. He's maybe a bit turned on, too.

A Study in Devotion by ThePromptWasntThisLong (shredded_potato), ilya/shane, NSFW, 3.1k     Shane, prickling with insecurity after seeing paparazzi photos of Ilya with an ex, tries to pick a fight. Ilya disarms him completely by sitting in an armchair and calmly ordering, “On your knees.” When Shane hesitates, Ilya adds, “You want to prove you’re better than a memory? Show me.”

1410 by Emigma62, ilya/shane & centaurs, nsfw, 1.2k     There was no way. Absolutely no way. The universe was a cruel mistress and there was no way Shane was spending the night with Ilya in room 1410 in this hotel and still being fit to play tomorrow.

the same damn hunger by butterflylungs, ilya/shane, NSFW, 3.1k     Ilya’s eyes drag over him, starting from his head, to his jersey-clad upper body, down to his bare thighs. He’s not wearing any underwear, but the shirt is long enough to hide it. Ilya’s gaze darkens ravenously as he lets his gym bag slip from his shoulder to the floor with a dull thud. His eyes travel up again, catching on the number stamped on the arm of jersey, the C on the front. “What’s this?” he questions.

no handlebars by redsuns, ilya/shane, NSFW, 1.9k     “You are so impatient,” Rozanov says. “Could not wait for me to finish my workout. Come here.”

Own goals by isevsianne, ilya/shane, NSFW, 7.5k     “Funny morning, you know,” Ilya says in Shane’s voice, and that’s strange, too. “Woke up in this bed with too many pillows in a very boring place and discovered my dick not as big as last night. Then I remembered Canada’s favorite hockey player Shane Hollander texting me last night, wish you were here and I think the hockey gods don’t care about anyone but Shane fucking Hollander, because now I am here, yes?” “Look,” Shane replies sharply. “This is not my fault.”

2886 Beacon by anyarozanov (anaphoricae), ilya/shane, NSFW, 4.5k     "What’s a girl to do on a lonely night in Montreal?" Shane shouldn’t answer his text now. He wouldn’t. He had been strong enough to walk away on that rooftop, and he would be strong enough to do it now. He wasn’t mad anymore, but he wasn’t about to make the same mistake either.

Fanning the Flames by cjr2, ilya/shane & farah & cast, NSFW, 16.9k     The Voyageurs ask Shane to join FanMail in order to foster a better connection with fans. Internet sleuths start to notice some interesting details in the background of Shane’s videos, and then the internet does...what the internet does. Or Shane and Ilya are granted an opportunity to come out on their own terms. Sort of. And in they do it in a very Ilya way. (Surprisingly, it is Shane’s idea)

For Worse, For Fever by nj_1996, ilya/shane, 9.3k     Shane survives the world’s worst flu and thinks the nightmare is over. It is not. Because now Ilya is sick.

at the top of the mohs scale by Anonymous, ilya/shane & rose & svetlana & centaurs, NSFW, pregnant!shane, 19.6k wip     Shane let out a put-upon sigh and stepped into Terry's office, closing the door behind him. “So, I was really nauseous this morning. Threw up a little. And Ilya is making me come talk to you about it.” Terry quirked an eyebrow at him. “Husband Ilya or Captain Rozanov?” “Both.” “Oof.” Terry gestured at him to take a seat. “You sure you’re not dying, bud?"

good by alopias, ilya/shane, NSFW, 4.8k     He sends a message without fully thinking it through, are you disappointed in me? No. Comes through immediately. I told you, good game to watch. It makes me happy to see you lose once in a while. I think you need to be brought down a notch.

is it casual now? by zeppelin (transgenicveins), ilya/shane, NSFW, 3k     Ilya steels himself. He thinks of running around Moskva River, obsessed with Shane Hollander and the sad look on his face, and knows if he doesn’t ask it’ll gnaw at him like a dog with a bone. “Hollander,” he starts. “Shane,” Shane corrects, a little bratty, and Ilya’s helpless. He fucking smiles back. “Shane,” he continues firmly, “listen, about Vegas—”

unkissed by miharaikko, ilya/shane, NSFW, 4k     “Goodbye, Hollander,” is all he can say. Ilya hears the door click shut. It didn’t even slam. It closed softly. Almost makes it worse. A few words and a soft click, and Hollander is gone. “Fuuuck,” Ilya groans, teeth almost biting into the filter of his cigarette. We didn’t even kiss, Ilya thinks as he lets his head fall back against the headboard.

What You Want From Me by Erisenyo, ilya/shane, NSFW, 3.9k     “Say it,” Ilya pushes, because he still has not learned to walk away. He grabs the spread of Hollander’s ribs, suddenly desperate to paint over the last six months and Sochi and longer with something uncomplicated and easy, and this thing with Hollander will never be that— “Yes, please, yes,” Hollander says, practically shoving into his hands. “I want you to. Lift me up on this counter, Rozanov, do it, please.” —but Ilya has always been weak for the way Hollander is so easy for him.

I would die for you in secret by nerdie, ilya/shane & cast, pregnant!shane, 3.8k     It was, quite possibly, the worst thing that had ever happened to Shane. Two lines stared up at him from the pregnancy test. And the other pregnancy test, too. And the fancy test that actually spelled out the word pregnant. Ilya fucking Rozanov had knocked him.

Ilya's 2014 Stanley Cup Celebration by wilmonstan12345, ilya/shane, NSFW, 2.6k     About a month after Las Vegas, Ilya has his day with the Stanley Cup. He texts Shane to fly to Boston and celebrate with him, and they have angsty sex with the Cup in the room.

Boston Hospitality by SuburbanSun, ilya/shane, 1.7k     Lily: But I need to swipe a key to get up to your floor Lily: Don’t suppose you left one for “Lily” at the front desk? Lily: Or else you’ll just have to come downstairs and get me

Tethered/Untethered by WhatTheBodyGraspsNot, ilya/shane, nsfw, 4k     Shane feels wrong. Off. It’s their last night at the hotel and he should be out with his teammates but he can’t move. Can’t think of anything but the keycard on his dresser and the pull to that room three stories up. He and Ilya have fucked plenty this week. That’s not what this is. Shane needs something else.

Lingua Russia by GrendelsMother, ilya/shane & ocs & voyageurs, 16.9k     “That’s wild, man. That is just weird.” Yannic paused. “You really think someone speaks Russian but is hiding it from you and just using it to do nice things for you?” “Well, that is the question. Why would anyone do that? Why not just say they speak Russian?” Rodion had been wondering this all morning.

the longer way home by boxysmiles, ilya/shane, 6.3k     The plane—Ilya’s plane—is diverting to the closest airport. Shane's next breath doesn't quite make it to his lungs. Suddenly, he is a few years in the past, hearing J.J's voice: "Woah. The Centaurs' plane had to make an emergency landing." It's not the same. It's not.

the things your lips won't say. by Skamtrash, ilya/shane, NSFW, 2.2k     shane gets jealous seeing ilya kiss someone else. when he confronts him in his hotel room, ilya shows him why there's no reason to be.

I Could Love You 'Til All the Polaroids Fade by verbaepulchellae, ilya/shane & cast, NSFW, 9.5k     Shane's working on letting go of the control that's kept him and Ilya safe for the past ten years. The fact that he's Shane Hollander means that he's got a plan. The fact that he's with Ilya Rozanov means that plan involves fucking him stupid. And for once, Shane's kind of ready to be the one who drives Ilya out of his mind.

Exactly As You're Meant to Be by 30somethingAutisticTeacher, ilya/shane, ~1k     A conversation in bed stirs up memories, both bitter and sweet.

Belonging by PeaceLilies, ilya/shane, NSFW, 6.2k     Shane and Ilya navigate their new relationship now that they're officially a couple

Before and After Pictures by GrendelsMother, ilya/shane & troy/harris & centaurs, 3.1k     “I think what people are most interested in is whether your game—against each other—changed once you were together.” They looked at each other. Shaking their heads. It was never going to go away. But they didn’t intend to change their approach in keeping some things to themselves.

(Not) Desperate by bubbleomatic, ilya/shane, NSFW, 2k     Ilya didn’t know what was worse: knowing Hollander’s favourite ginger ale brand, or caring too much about getting his hands on a case of it. He planned to use it as leverage to convince Hollander to stay the night at his Boston penthouse. To sleep in his bed until morning.

A Boring Hockey Book by notlayingroses, ilya/shane, 2.4k     Ilya swings by a local bookstore in Edmonton to get a boring hockey book for Shane, and is delighted to get recommendations for sexy gay hockey books.

Cabane à sucre by bubbleomatic, ilya/shane & troy/harris & centaurs, 3.8k     Harris organises a team field trip to a cabane à sucre — sugar shack — to gather content for the Ottawa Centaurs’ social media. Ilya doesn’t understand why Canadians are so obsessed with maple syrup, but Shane is there to make the weird cultural experience more memorable.

They Met in the Elevator by Honeybees_n_flowers, ilya/shane & david/yuna, 1k     Following the reveal that her son has apparently been seeing Ilya Rozanov of all people for the entirety of their careers, Yuna Hollander has a realization about an interaction she once had in an elevator.

waiting right here just to show you by broccolicheddarchicken, ilya/shane, NSFW, 6.6k     The picture he must've made in that moment: naked and tied up, on his knees, untouched and hard, with Ilya down his throat, drool all over him, staring up at Ilya through his lashes. He was glad he couldn't actually see himself, it would've been too much, but he had no doubt this was a mental image Ilya would be saving forever.

Baby, you know it ain't fair by WhimperSoldier, ilya/shane & cast, NSFW, omegaverse, 9.3k     Then he gets the call from All-Stars. The catch? His captain is the obnoxiously perfect alpha Ilya Rozanov.

Road Games by leialoo7, ilya/shane & hayden, NSFW, 1.7k     Lily: Where are you? That was stupid. Rozanov definitely knew Shane had played a game in New York tonight. Shane: ? Lily: Are you at the hotel? Shane: Yeah, at the bar. Lily: Leave. Lily: Go to your room and call me.
