    Summary

    And so here he sat on his couch, staring intently at his boyfriend’s face as he waited for an answer.
    “Okay.”
    Ilya felt his eyes light up as he took in the word, something so simple yet so joyous to him right now. “Really?” he asked, still not believing he was agreeing.
    Shane nodded, waiting a moment before replying, “Obviously as friends, but you trust them, and I trust you.”
    Ilya felt a smile break across his face, too happy to be embarrassed by how much this affected him.

     

    or:
    What if Shane agreed to go to Bood's Boxing Day party with Ilya, and a drunken game of Never Have I ever ensues?

    Summary

    “Sweetheart, your pretty little head is so silly. For every photocard I make of ugly hockey men, I make two of my gorgeous, radiant, pulchritudinous boyfriend. Sometimes three.”

    A smile breaks through the heated haze of Shane’s expression. “You’ve been using the thesaurus Dad got you for Christmas?”

    “I will beat Yuna Hollander at Scrabble one day,” Ilya declares against Shane’s hip bone.

    In the year between the Cottage and the Centaurs, Ilya misses Shane more than ever. Svetlana’s teenage cousin offers a coping method: Kpop-style Shane Hollander photocards to stare at all day long. It's a shame carrying around pictures of fellow hockey players is just not socially acceptable.

    …At least, not yet.
     
    (AKA: Ilya's mission to desensitize the hockey world to his Hollander fanboyisms, and the NHL players that suffer for it.)

    Summary

    After Ilya's first season with the centaurs, Shane and Ilya want to spend as much time together as possible. Which leads to increasingly ridiculous conversations, one magically transformed boyfriend, and Ilya proving that there has never been a version of Shane he could not love.

    So the true way to combat the Bisexual Russian Terminator isn’t with homophobia...
    It's actually with even more gay

    You're a goddamn genius.

    The NHL rookies have joined forces to strategize now that two of the greatest hockey players of all time are on the same team and Ilya Rozanov must suffer from the unintended consequences of making hockey more woke.

    Mainly, the way everyone keeps implying that they want to fuck his husband.

    or: a group of rookies unionize and employ chirping as a form of psychological torture against a one Ilya Grigoryevich Rozanov.

    Summary

    On a Thursday, a video of Canadian star hockey player Shane Hollander goes viral on the internet. The video was taken on the previous Sunday, and it’s not what anybody expects. It’s not a sex tape, or a drunken fight in a bar, or any of the other videos that have been captured of others in the league, but instead, it seems to be a sneakily filmed video of Hollander confronting his former teammates.
