Summary
His brain struggled to catch up with what he was seeing.
Scott Hunter had his hands on someone’s face, someone not in uniform. Someone in street clothes. A man. He kissed him. Not quick. Not subtle. Full on the mouth.
Holy shit.
Holy. ShitShane stared, his thoughts stalling completely.
His phone rang. Breaking the shocked silent trance he was in.
The sound tore through the room. He grabbed it instantly.
“Mom! finally, where have you-”
“Hello… may I speak with Shane Hollander, please?”
His voice caught.
“…Yeah. This is him. Who is this?”
“My name is Jade. I’m calling from emergency services. I’m calling about David and Yuna Hollander. Is now a good time to talk?”
Everything inside him went still.

Summary
What if Shane and ilya lived the exact opposite lives of what they had gone through in Heated Rivalry?
What if Shane Hollander lost his parents during his Junior years, and didn' thave the support system he once did, and instead had an abusive Uncle that raised him? What if he wasn't Canadian Golden Boy, and instead, was just another invisible face among the NHL drafts?
What if Ilya Rozanov was the one with loving, wonderful parents? A father, Grigori, who helped his family escape after the fall of the Soviet Union and who worked his ass off to make his immigrant family happy in Montreal? A mother, Irina, who helped manage Ilya's rise to the NHL to become the prodigy he is? Or even his brother, Andrei, who was the supportive big brother that gave him the confidence to try anything?
What if the first time they meet is the night of the 2009 NHL draft, and... What if they fall in love again anyway, and come to face and conquer the NHL and its homophobia?
This story is a retelling of heated Rivalry, with Shane and Ilya living each other's lives, coming to love each other, and with the power of Queer Joy, have a different happily ever after than they did in the original story.

Summary
The week before the 2017 All-Star Game, Ilya Rozanov is placed on IR. Ten days later, he disappears from the league entirely. Boston says nothing, and for once, a notoriously fickle league closes ranks.
Every attempt Shane makes to find him hits a wall. In one last desperate, life-altering bid to reach him, Shane comes out to the world, only to be met with Ilya’s silence.
By the time the 2020/21 season begins, Shane has nothing left but hockey and regret. He builds a dynasty, guts his life, and pins the last scraps of his hope on the Metros’ newest transfer, the dangerously hot-headed Cliff Marlow.
Stepping back into the public eye after the worst three years of his life, all Ilya wants is to find some kind of purpose. Shane is done with him, he made that much clear. Ilya isn't about to try to convince himself otherwise. He just wants to prove he still has some use left in him.
Fortunately for both of them, they're still fucking stupid for each other.
