Summary
Ilya knows that, between him and Shane, he's the more affectionate of the two. He's not sure if it's because he's from Europe, where everyone greets each other with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, or if it's because he grew up so starved for love and affection that he can't do anything except show Shane how much he loves him at any chance that he has.
So, yes, he knows that he's the one most likely to kiss Shane on the cheek when he skates by him at practice or come up behind Shane when he's cooking dinner just to wrap his arms around him or fall on top of Shane while he's reading on the couch, desperate to have his skin touching Shane's.
But, Shane… Shane loves Ilya differently. It's quieter. More intentional.
—
Or, five times that Shane loved Ilya in his quiet way, and one time that he loved Ilya loudly.

Summary
“You’ll text when you land, right?” Shane asks as he takes an exit ramp labeled Airport Departures.
“Yes. Promise.”
“And you’ll call tonight?” Shane’s throat works over the words, like he still doesn’t trust this new thing between them. Ilya thinks he understands. He also doesn’t know how to trust this love. How can he when it has been trapped in his own heart so long. Neither of them know what the next year will bring. There is so much time before Ilya can have his agent, or his future agent, he will need a new one with no connections to Russia, reach out to Ottawa and hope that they’ll be interested in a future Hall of Fame center. The one thing Ilya is certain of is that he will do everything in his power to make their plan work. He spent his entire adult life lusting after, and then pining for Shane with his whole heart.
“I will call.” Ilya reaches for the hand Shane has left on the gearshift and threads his fingers through his. He wants to say so much, but he has always been better with touch than words, especially when the only shared language was English. “We will talk every day.”
Or, There is a year before Ilya can sign with Ottawa, Shane counts down the days until their forever.

Summary
Shane Hollander comes out before opening night and unleashes Shane Hollander Hysteria across the NHL.
All-Stars circle like it’s free agency and he’s the only contract available.
His DMs combust. Rival captains get bold. Hotel rooms get interesting. The league gets possessive.
The Metros couldn’t care less because Shane keeps dominating on the ice while getting fucked in every time zone.
It becomes the worst-kept secret in professional hockey: everyone wants their turn.
Ilya Rozanov is handling this very normally.Bookmarked by Crate44

Summary
“Mic’ing us up? Did I hear that right?” Hunter questions.
“Someone in PR thought it would be funny to hear the three of you during all of your games,” Coach LeClaire explains, “The idea got out and spread like wildfire.”
“Huh,” Hunter responds.
“It would be funny to hear me,” Ilya corrects, “I am funny. The other two are boring.”
He hears Hollander huff out a laugh and bump shoulders with him as Hunter continues to ask questions. Casually glancing over to the other man, he sees a small smile playing at his lips. His eyes, though, there was a gleam that he hadn’t seen before. He wasn’t certain what it could mean, but it couldn’t be good for Ilya.

Or what if Shane had stayed with Ilya that night in Boston?

Summary
“Cliff,” Rozanov said.
Interesting. He only ever used his first name when he wanted something.
“I need a favour.”
Called it.
“What can I do for you, Roz?”
“I need you to punch me.”
Cliff stared. He stared some more.
"Why?"
“Shane hasn’t let me fuck him since the bar, it’s been too long and he always rides me when I have to see the medics.”
A beat.
Another beat.
Then Cliff absolutely lost it.
Or5 times people clocked Shane and Ilya being absolutely unhinged about each other and the 1 time it was encouraged.
Or
Cliff Pov: Ilya pays Cliff to break his nose.
Yuna Pov: Ilya calms down shane from a panic attack (with biting :) )
Scott and Kip Pov: What do you mean i remind you of your brother? What do you mean you don't know your a bottom?
