Captain of the Sinking Ship by winter_ninja
"Never have I ever checked out my teammates in the locker room." Comeau said, looking directly at him.
Shane left his bottle exactly where it was, resting against the edge of the table, and met Comeau's gaze without saying a word, waiting for someone else to break the silence, because surely that had to have been a joke.
"Come on, captain. It's no fun if you're gonna lie." Drapeau let out with a quiet snort.
Shane frowned, genuinely confused. "What?"
"Oh, don't bullshit us," Drapeau said. "You expect us to believe you've never taken a peek at us in the showers?"
⎯⎯⎯⎯
Or: A game of Never Have I Ever with the Voyageurs turns ugly, it's a good thing Ilya is not too far way.
Loose Lips by martha_sighs
“Oh, just that Ilya and I have been fucking for, like, a decade.” Shane said, nonplussed.
JJ’s jaw dropped. Hayden let out a weird, choking sound. Troy started laughing, but it also sounded like he was crying. Wyatt and Cliff looked at each other, huge smiles taking over their faces.
“He’s who I had sex with this morning,” Shane continued, oblivious to the table’s reactions. “Twice.” He added cheerfully.
It was supposed to be a casual night out with friends - until, JJ and Hayden show up, with Shane (his secret boyfriend).
Shane is panicking, of course, so Ilya pours him some vodka, as an emergency option. This turns out to be a mistake. Lips get loose, and secrets are revealed.

“Why the fuck do you care what happens to Rozanov?”
Shane doesn’t answer.
He’s already running for the Raiders’ locker room.

Or, Ilya has a panic attack in the Raiders' locker room after getting a phone call from his brother telling him about his father’s death.
Yuna Hollander and the Kübler-Ross Change Curve by Chinesepapercut
She’s just rounded the couch when she hears it, the soft, rhythmic sound of breathing. She looks toward the sound to find Shane asleep on the couch, but it’s not just Shane, it’s Shane with someone. And that doesn’t even adequately describe it. It’s Shane with his arms and legs draped passively over that someone, his face tucked into their neck, their fingers twined into his hair. They’re both fast asleep, mouths slightly agape and only then does it occur to Yuna that this someone Shane is cuddling on the couch is a man… a man who looks suspiciously like Ilya Rozanov.
OR
Yet another take on how Yuna finds out about Shane and Ilya. But, it's more about how she handles it.
Yuna and Ilya might not be close yet, but she certainly isn’t going to abandon him in some random Ottawa hotel room when he’s sick. And Ilya's powerless against these Hollanders — their earnest kindness, and their insistence on caring about him as though he deserves it.
Or: Yuna + Ilya's mortifying ordeal of being known.
Soft Launch by DoubleApple
What if David and Yuna had both gone to the cottage to retrieve that phone charger? What if they crept in very quietly (because silent meditation retreat) and found their son fast asleep on the couch, snuggled up with his arch-rival, Ilya Rozanov?
Ruin the Rivalry by avid_reader64
After a very illuminating conversation with Cliff Marleau on a night out, Carter Vaughn decides the rivalry is getting rather ridiculous. The tension between Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov is clearly at an all-time high.
Which is why he makes a plan for the All Stars Game in 2017, recruiting a group of hockey players to help him.
But in one thing Carter is very clear. Those two need to fuck it out.
The Year of Soft Launch by midnighttypewriter
The slow soft launch of Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov's relationship as told by social media.

With guest appearances from multishippers, Shaydens, Marlow/Rozanov shippers, Svetlana fans and the firm believers in Hollandry endgame.
Forever is the sweetest con by Promised_ivy
“How long?”
Shane was shaking.
“Coach?”
“How long have you been fucking Ilya Rozanov?”

Instead of getting injured during the game after Tampa, pictures are released exposing the secret relationship between Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander. The two rival captains are forced to choose between everything they've spent years building and the person they never quite learned how to let go.
Unfortunately, neither of them has ever been particularly good at walking away.
The Great Migraine Mishap of 2018 by theresbeenaglitch
Where his friend’s curls should have been on the pillow there was a shock of black hair. Instead of Roz’s familiar features he was looking at a face full of freckles, a face that he recognized easily as they had been playing against each other only hours earlier.
Shane Hollander.

“Wait, I could totally see that,” Connors says. “She wears reading glasses and he’s, like, obsessed with them. Sometimes on the road, he calls her from the bathroom and I hear him begging her to put them on.”
“The glasses! I heard that too.” Shit, it must be a fetish, right? She doesn’t just happen to be old. Rozy likes that she’s old.
Or: Cliff figures out why Ilya’s keeping his Montreal girl a secret. She’s not a girl at all...she's an elderly woman. Or maybe an elderly man?

"What are we going to do?" Shane whispered.
"I will tell them it was me." Rozanov said, interrupting them both.
"You would do that for Shane?" David asked.
"Is only way."
"Ilya, don't be stupid."
"Tell me other way then, Hollander."
Shane's eyes went glassy again. "But - you won't be able to go home. Russia. It won't be safe for you-"
Hayden exchanged a look with J.J. This whole situation was so fucked.

Twenty Years of the Rozanov Fight Complication by Aiyta
Dylan starts playing around with video editing software after taking (and dropping) a community college media class in 2011. He may as well use the new skills to make something, so he makes a hockey video. This leads to him becoming the ‘Ilya Rozanov Fight Compilation’ guy – it’s the start of an interesting two decades.

Remember when Hayden Pike punches Ilya after Shane said not to, right before the announcement of the Irina Foundation? Remember that that was the second time Hayden laid his hands on Ilya in the first month of knowing him?
Or, Shane gets rightfully fed up after the first month of Hayden's behavior towards Ilya. Punching Ilya was the final straw, so he tells Hayden to pretend he never found out. It sets off a chain of events landing him, happily, in Ottawa a year earlier and with a better support system for both him and Ilya.

Hayden Pike's Gay Agenda by Giveemhale
When Shane drunkenly confesses that he is gay to Hayden, Hayden starts forming a plan to help his friend get his happily ever after.
Step 1: break up Shane and Lily. Step 2: get Shane a boyfriend. Step 3: get Shane gay married. Step 4: prosper.
Should be easy enough.
OR: Hayden is trying to figure out how to break up Shane and Lily. Ilya is trying to figure out who is sending him threatening texts about his relationship with Shane.
Clocking Shane by AltErLove2021
“Shut up.” Yes please, Scott mentally begs, still sifting through the bedcovers for the remote.
“Fuck.” Yes, fuck. “I’m trying to say I have a thing. Okay?” No, not okay, Abort. Abort. Oh God, no, no, no, no. Please no. He does not need to think about Hollander having a thing.
“A dildo.” God help him, this kid, he’s so fucking earnest. Scott won’t be able to look Hollander in the eye ever again during a face off.
Shane and Ilya think they are really good at hiding their situationship. Spoiler alert. They are not. Well… except for that one person whose denial is truly impressive.
-or-
5 times someone figured out Shane & Ilya were a thing and the 1 time someone is gobsmacked.
The Deepest Secret Nobody's Knows by FluentBird81
What if Ilya has a panic attack in the locker room after getting the news of his father's death after the Winter 2017 Montreal @ Boston game and no one can figure out what is going on? What if, while scrambling for answers, Cliff Marleau has the brilliant idea to call Jane?
Or,
What if Shane and Ilya's deeper emotional connection begins just before Ilya leaves for his father's funeral in Russia instead of on a phone call while they are separated by oceans?
Shane was hurt and Ilya couldn’t be there with him. No one knew that he cared, that his boyfriend was in the hospital, not even Shane’s parents.
OR: Yuna Hollander just wanted to grab some of Shane’s things from his apartment during his hospital stay. She didn't suspect she'd stumble across a home invasion, and that the perpetrator would be Ilya Rozanov.
(Shane’s okay!)

Ok internet, I have announcement.
I am getting married in 2 weeks.

#SecretRelationship #ILoveYouJane
-----
With each new daily clue, the Hollanov fans only get louder. Each clue lining up perfectly with a certain Canadian hockey player.
However, they still cannot convince anyone. If anything, their overflow of online excitement might make it seem less believable.
Ilya notices the plight of these modern Casandras of the internet age and, of course, decides to make it worse.
5 Times Shane & Ilya Soft Launch, & 1 Time They Hard Launch by emmelineee
"Shane," Ilya cut him off, "are you saying you want to come out?"
He nodded. "I just thought, with the plane and the wedding and everything, people are gonna find out somehow. I want it to be on our own terms, though."
Ilya grinned. "Of course." He gently kissed Shane, closing his eyes before opening them again. "How will we do it?"
HR Alternate Relationship Reveals by rachelrae
“Puppy!” Came Jade's happy cry as Chiron licked her face. Both of Hayden's twins lay giggling on the floor of the Ottawa locker room, a squirming puppy bouncing between them.
“Can we get a puppy, Uncle Ilya?” Ruby's voice rose even louder as she spoke, eyes pleading towards Ilya.
Shane heard the door slam open behind him. Hayden Pike, his best friend and beloved father, staggered to his side. Out of the corner of his eye, Shane could see him taking in the mess in front of them.
“Well, shit.”
Or
What if Shane and Ilya's relationship was revealed to the Ottawa Centaurs before Hayden's video. It was still Hayden's fault though.
Ilya's Big Gay Romance by Jockles
The ongoing adventures of Scott and Ilya, the Fairy Gay Mothers of the MLH
you can sing a different song by Anonymous
Yuna Hollander has always loved hockey, from the first time her father sat her in front of a television screen to watch a game after dinner. It was the one thing she most looked forward to passing on to her own children, and she’s grateful that Shane took to it the way he did. She’s proud of everything he’s accomplished and will accomplish, and of the man he’s becoming. So, when Shane tells her, the summer before his rookie season, that he’s gay, she’s determined to do everything she can to ensure that his identity won’t keep him from what matters most to him: hockey.
Over the course of his rookie season, Yuna helps Shane navigate the politics of the MLH and make plans for his future, a future she becomes increasingly certain is going to feature Ilya Rozanov in a starring role.

When Ilya tells Cliff that “Montreal Jane” is Shane Hollander, Cliff thinks he finally has a sense of what’s really going on.
Ilya thinks Cliff probably needs to get his head checked.
High Voltage by banthafodder87
All Ilya Rozanov has ever wanted to do is dance with Shane Hollander in a nightclub.
So, naturally, he plots and orchestrates a twelve-hour truce between Boston and Montreal to make it happen. It's the perfect cover... assuming they can actually blend in and not get caught.
But between their instinctual domesticity and a very drunk, clingy Shane, staying under the radar is a lot harder than it looks. Especially when Cliff Marleau is sitting right across the table.
(or, Cliff puts the pieces together when Shane gets wasted, Ilya's boyfriend mode is too obvious, and he catches them sexy dancing in the club.)
Find Lily by virtual_typewriter
“Got someone special waiting for you?”
Shane’s breath hitches and he looks up, big, brown orbs settling on the person behind the camera. There’s a blush crawling across his freckles, his voice unsteady as he answers.
“I wanted to celebrate with Lily, but she isn’t here.”
The video ends shortly after, and the internet collectively loses its mind. Within minutes #FindLily is trending across all social media platforms, women from across the globe begging Shane to dump her ass.
OR on the night that Shane wins the cup for a second year in a row, the internet learns of Lily and goes absolutely nuts.
Inevitably, so does Ilya Rozanov.
Down to the Nitty-Gritty by LinzOd
Harris clears his throat. “There is one more part to this. They also were hoping that after you do your intro you’ll goof around with their mascot, Gritty, on the ice for a bit.”
Shane rolls his eyes, not that Harris can see him over the phone, but still.
Clocking the silence, Harris continues, “He’s the most popular character in the league, you know. He has more followers on socials than some NHL teams. Within 24 hrs of his reveal he was tweeting death threats at Pittsburgh’s mascot. Having a Gritty moment could be really good exposure for the foundation.”
“Can’t Ilya do it? He’s good at threats," Shane says morosely.
**Shane and Ilya are ready to share their relationship with the world, and everyone has a different idea of how to make it happen. It’s a high pressure situation, and they are both so over it. Still, despite the craziness of their lives, Shane never thought that the big reveal would come because of Ilya’s jealousy towards a 300 pound, 7 foot tall, googly-eyed orange muppet, but here they are…
A love letter to always being there for your partner, even if that includes starting a fight with the opposing team’s mascot.

He’s already in the room, shutting the door behind himself as quietly as he can before he realises that not only is there someone other than Shane in the room, but there are three someones other than Shane.
And, as if he hasn’t already fucked up spectacularly, the someones happen to be the Hollanders and Hayden fucking Pike.
// or; Ilya visits Shane in the hospital and meets his parents. He's traumatized and grieving, everything hurts, and Shane takes after his mother.
Operation: How Gay Can We Go? by CaptainKitler
What if the video never leaked and their relationship was still a secret when Shane joined the Ottawa Centaurs? The team wait in anticipation for Rozanov's reaction to his career-long rival joining their team... but wait a minute, they're jumping into each other's arms, giggling like a couple of schoolgirls?
Aka 5 times Ilya and Shane’s 'friendship' seems really gay and the 1 time everyone realises it’s been actually gay the whole time.
Cue the Ottawa Centaurs being absolutely clueless, the Montreal Metros mourning the loss of their best player, and the Centaur WAG's (+Harris) being absolutely done with their ignorant partners.
They Don't Know We Know They Know We Know! by steviethefish
"Obviously Troy does not think we are together if he is asking you on a date now.”
“Or does he?” Shane said, and broke away to pace the length of the kitchen. “What if he was testing you? Seeing if you would admit it when he asked for my number? And what if he’s testing me, now, to see how I respond?”
“Why would he do that?” said Ilya, tonelessly.
“To catch us out!” Shane said, as if this were the most obvious thing in the world. “Troy definitely figured out we were together when you came out to him. For all you know, the others on your team might have figured it out too, if we’ve been as obvious as we apparently have been this whole time. What if they just want us to admit it? What if they’re messing with us?”
.
.
.
Or, Troy asks Ilya for Shane’s number. Ilya, not knowing how to say no without raising suspicion, gives it to him. Hijinks ensue. Secrets are revealed. Loosely inspired by the Friends episode The One Where Everybody Finds Out.

As is often the case with professional hockey, Montreal’s loss is Boston’s gain.
We'll Just Use It Our Advantage by Hayley Mecury (SnarledCello)
When Shane goes down on the ice, he isn't the only one to get hurt, and Ilya, broken and concussed, doesn't exactly keep his cool. Drugged up and so deeply in love they can't bear the thought of recovering apart, they come up with a plan to explain their sudden public friendship.
or
The long game isn't quite so long anymore, and the boys use the Irina Foundation as it was originally intended.
Rose-Colored Glasses by PlatitudinalTeen
When a poorly timed phone call and an open window leads Shane's parents to a massive misunderstanding, he's stuck pretending he's still dating Rose. Which works fine for a month, until Ilya's jealousy starts to flare and Shane's parents witness a fight entirely different from the one they have on the ice.
---
"See? Shane's probably just in the kitchen,” Yuna murmured softly, putting her purse down on the side table beside the door. “Maybe he’s—”
“Okay, you were maybe telling me the truth,” a voice suddenly called, cutting her off before she could finish her sentence. “At least partially.”
Yuna frowned, the deep, accented voice catching her off guard. Before she could piece together where she recognized the voice from, though, she saw Ilya Rozanov walking through her son’s apartment. He was barefoot, his hair slightly damp and his clothes casual. Sweatpants and a white T-shirt that clung to him after a shower.
From the kitchen, David heard his sons’ voice ring out, too. “What do you mean partially?” Shane responded, gesturing at his phone as Ilya showed him something on it. “That’s exactly what I told you.”

Operation O Canada by robbinscinquefoil
“Can’t hang out tonight, Hayd. I have plans.”
“Bullshit,” Hayden responds. “You never have plans.”
Objectively, this used to be true. Nowadays Shane has many, many plans, between his nightly plans to look at Ilya’s penis through Skype and his various long-term plans laid out helpfully in his notebook, Canva (For Ilya’s sake. He is a visual learner), and more recently, Excel. Shane loves that excel sheet. He’s colour coded it.
In 2017, Shane Hollander spirals and proposes to his boyfriend of 4 days (or 7 years, or 9 years, or not his boyfriend at all, depending on how you look at it), which leads to a lot of plans, weird theories in the Montreal Voyageur locker room, some Twitter drama, and Ilya Rozanov entering his WAG era.

Crashing 'Verse by WhimsicalSesquipedalian
So now they were heading to see Roz. Bood couldn’t lie and say he hadn’t pulled the A card for this hospital trip mostly to get to come and see Roz. No, not just Roz. Roz and his boyfriend. Roz and the honest-to-god motherfucking boyfriend that none of them had known that he’d had. Roz and the boyfriend he all but definitely moved to Ottawa for. Bood was over the fucking moon. There was no way in hell Rozanov was ever missing another barbecue.
A short sequel of sorts to 'Crashing' in which Bood and Dykstra make a trip to the hospital the day after Shane drives down to be with Ilya after the plane crash. Revelations, tenderness, and humour ensue.

Oops... I shouldn't have said that by AsterOleander
“I can’t wait for Ilya to get here. He always makes the pain go away,” he said, wiggling his brows suggestively and letting out a childish giggle.
Hayden raised his brows and clamped his mouth shut. If he had any words, they got stuck in his throat. Maybe he had misspoken, he tried to rationalize with himself. Maybe he was so hopped up on drugs that he was getting words confused.
Wait. Ilya? He couldn’t mean… no way. There’s absolutely no way. Hell to the fuck no.
“Oops,” Shane covered his mouth with the hand of his uninjured arm. “I shouldn’t have said that. He won’t like that.”
He paused for a second, lowering his hand, smiling innocently, and said something that Hayden would literally never be able to unhear.
“Maybe he’ll bend me over and spank me for being a bad boy,” he said with a giggle.

“Holy shit,” Carter says from the stall next to Scott, also staring at his phone. “Did you all see about Rozanov and Hollander?” The way Vaughan says it, it doesn’t sound like good news. Carter thrusts his phone in Scott’s face, and he takes it, pulls it back so the headline will focus. HOCKEY STARS CAUGHT IN STEAMY AFFAIR, the headline proclaims, and Scott skims through it quickly. Rozanov and Hollander, years—years?!—worth of videos and photos leaked. Scott is in an NHL locker room, watching his worst nightmare happen to someone else. Holy shit.
Sweet Disposition (hollonov rewrite) by astrodarlings
Maybe it was the alcohol. Maybe it was the month of silence, of sleepless nights and unsaid words piling up inside him. Maybe it was the simple, terrifying certainty that if Shane walked away again, it could be for good. That if he didn’t say something now, he never would.
Resolve settled heavy in Ilya’s chest.
“Shane Hollander,” he breathed unsteadily. “Running away from me again. Starting to hurt my feelings.”
