Shane Hollander Doesn’t (not to be confused with Can’t) Fight by RedDragon11133, rated NR, 4.8k

Shane Hollander doesn't fight.

Doesn't, however, does not mean can't.

Too bad no one told Tanner Gagnon that.

Of all the florists in Boston by lilliesinwater, rated G, 6.8k

Shane gets hurt in the Boston vs. Montreal game. Ilya crashes out and buys all the lilies in Boston for him.

No one knows about them.

There Are Some Things Cliff Marleau Cannot Unlearn (No Matter How Hard He Tries) by EiraMorhen, rated M, 5.7k

Cliff knew that this probably violated the promise he made to Roz when he had given him a spare key. It was for emergencies only. He hoped he kept his key privileges after tonight.

Because throwing a surprise pizza/movie night in Roz’s own home for when he returned to Boston from his father’s funeral in Russia? That probably didn’t count as an emergency.

But fuck it. Roz was his best friend, and while his father may have sucked, it’s still awful losing a parent. Roz should have his friends here, waiting to support him when he gets back.

The only thing that could make this better was if Cliff knew who Jane was, so she could be here for him too.

headfirst into shallow pools by facingthenorthwind (spacegandalf) and StormVandal, rated M, 37.2k

After the tuna melt debacle, but before Rose, Ilya makes the reckless decision to go to a gay bar to take his mind off of Shane. When photographs get published, Shane has a realization and devises a plan: he's going to ask Ilya Rozanov to marry him.

Ilya's going through enough without things he can't have being dangled in front of him. He needs to figure out a different way to avoid going home, because eventually Shane Hollander will realize what Ilya already knows: Ilya isn't worth what Shane wants to do for him.

When the Moment Arrives (you’ll know it) by Itsallfine, rated T, 3.8k

Shane never ran off the night of the tuna melt, but the boys still failed to have an honest conversation about any of it. Instead, they trip and fall into a whole new level of maybe-accidentally-dating situationship hell. Shane needs to confess his feelings and define the relationship.

He probably shouldn't have done it... there.

they (don’t) know about us by rachelrae, rated T, 30.4k

Shane, fed up with Montreal, signs to Ottawa before their relationship is revealed. While he doesn't plan on keeping that a secret for long, he asks Ilya to let him get to know the team first, before they come out. To maybe have a normal season. Meanwhile, the rest of the Centaurs are going crazy trying to figure out what is going on between their captain and Shane Hollander and why they keep showing up in the same car??

Ilya Rozanov’s Guide to Reinforcing the Closet by pink_starfish, rated T, 11k

In Ilya’s rookie season, he impulsively jokes about dating Shane to an invasive reporter. Then, he just… keeps doing it, since publicly announcing it enough times that everyone writes it off as a joke is a great way to hide a clandestine relationship.

there may never next time be by inmoonlightigetseasick, rated E, 22.6k

AU in which Ilya dies in the Centaurs' plane crash. A year later, careless with grief, Shane drives his car into a blizzard and wakes up in Boston, in 2016.

Now it's up to Shane to prove it.

The Hollanders Have Acquired Ilya Rozanov by leiascully, rated T, 2.6k

Dinner at the cottage is a family affair. Yuna and Ilya have a conversation.

at the foot of a palindrome by labeledbones, rated M, 6.8k

He goes to the fridge to look for the bell peppers, and while he’s in there, he says, “It was a good first kiss. As far as I could tell. I hadn’t really kissed anyone before.” He takes an orange bell pepper from the bag his mom brought over and brings it over to the counter. “Not anyone I really wanted to kiss anyway.” He cuts the top and bottom off the pepper and then works on cutting out the seeds. “Ilya’s a good kisser,” he adds. And he can’t believe he’s just said that out loud to his mom.

Chompers by thehdub, rated NR, 10.5k

When the opportunity presents itself, Ilya ditches the MLH awards weekend in Vegas to fly out to Ottawa so he can help Shane through his dental surgery. Shane says too much, naturally, and the boys end up sharing a whirlwind twenty-four hours that will change their futures in the most wonderful way.

Because of some chompers, tuna-meldown never needed to happen.

Shane lies, that first night, to keep Rozanov to himself a little longer. The changes spiral out from there.

the ten step plan by WriteThroughTheNight, rated M, 95.7k

In Vegas, after they’d said everything right up to the edge of I love you, Shane and Ilya came up with a plan. It was long term, with many, many steps. There might be a spreadsheet somewhere that Shane won’t admit to.

But it’s a plan, nonetheless. Over the summer of 2014, they tweak it and add things important to the both of them. There are even many, extensive, contingency plans.

The Deepest Secret Nobody Knows (Series) by FluentBird81, rated E, 61.9k

Ilya’s favorite Russian restaurant in Ottawa is going out of business. There is only one thing Shane “Mr. Real Estate” Hollander can do

there is no heart for me like yours by profdanglais, rated E, 154.2k

Ilya Rozanov has been drafted by Boston, the number one pick overall, but his father doesn't want him moving to America and so takes steps to block his visa. He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong.

It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it. Even though that something is the most reckless, the only reckless thing he's ever done in his life. He marries Rozanov in secret, to keep him out of Russia and put him on a path to Canadian citizenship.

Shane's got a five-year plan to get him there and when you have a plan nothing can go wrong. Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's.

Right???

Store-bought is fine by SkuldTheNorn, rated M, 28.2k

What if Ilya came into the tuna meltdown with slightly upgraded social skills and no one actually ran away before they had a conversation?

a step to the right by cloudsurfing, rated E, 75.7k

Shane thinks about Ilya; thinks about the glorious gasping surprise of Shane and considers that he has made an absolutely fucking massive mistake somewhere along his way here but he has no idea what it was. Behind his eyelids he thinks about his own name choked out like a confession and thinks about the Ilya that seemed to come so naturally, and wishes desperately that he'd done something differently. Something, almost anything, but he doesn't know what, can't pin the thought down. He has no idea what he's wishing for except for different.

As it turns out, once they're in motion there's nothing that can keep his eyes open, and he sleeps.

There's a dream that feels like turning inside out, like stretching and rebounding, like a path cleared and his is the first skate that touches the ice after the Zamboni leaves it, and he wakes —

He wakes.

Head thick and foggy until he shakes it and it clears, but he wakes —

— and they're back at the hotel.

Just Let Me Hold You While We’re Falling Apart by Hellobeany, rated E, 14.8k

Shane shows up in Russia after learning Ilya's father died. Ilya did not ask him to do this. He just showed up. And now Ilya doesn't know what to do with himself. He proceeds to just go with it, and maybe listen to Shane for once.

#DontYouDareFuckingFreeMe by Airuna, rated T, 24.6k

My take on the 'their text leak and now everybody thinks that Shane is an abusive bastard' premise. Featuring Ilya giving a presser, Marly realizing in real time who 'Jane' is and the internet reacting to the craziness.

cross your thoughtless heart by PrincessAmericaChavez, rated T, 19.8k

In the middle of a Montreal vs Boston game a threat against Ilya Rozanov becomes a security concern… and Shane Hollander kinda loses it. Just a little. In his defense, he’s pretty justified to be worried, okay? He is NOT overreacting.
