Summary
“I thought.. you’ve been a Canadian citizen for five years now, you’ve been playing for a Canadian team for even longer.. Maybe you could compete for Canada?”
Ilya froze before looking at him with big eyes.
“You think they would let me?”
Shane had to laugh a little.
“Honestly, they would be stupid not to. You’re obviously one of the best players in Canada right now, with you we might even have a chance at gold!”
Ilya didn’t seem fully convinced yet, his hands nervously picking at his hoodie.
“But they do not need to let me play. They could say no.”
Shane put his hands on Ilya’s shoulders.
“Look at me.”
Ilya carefully lifted his gaze from his hoodie, surprised by Shane’s tone. He was very serious now.
“Ilya. I would really like to go to the Olympic games with you. I want to win some medals with you. And this is honestly our last chance. I think we should at least try. What do you think?”or: Hollanov are going to the 2026 Olympics!

Summary
Svetlana knows about Jane. It's frankly insulting for Ilyusha to think otherwise.
She just never expected to have to call him for help. During the Olympics. In Russia. In the dead of night.
-
Or, what happens if Grigori Rozanov isn't that sick during the Winter Olympics and takes out his anger on Ilya in the worst way? What if Svetlana calls Shane for help . . . and where do any of them go from here?

Summary
What if Shane Hollander and Rose Landry were childhood best friends? Meeting as young children and growing up through the hardships and challenges of their respective fields and identities.
Well, for one, Rose would have helped Shane with his sexuality far earlier in life, but how would that change his future? How would that change his growing realization that he was falling hard and fast for the man who was supposed to be his future on ice rival?

Summary
“I love watching you on the ice, sore from you, knowing no one else can tell but us.”
Before Ilya could remember how to speak—in any language at all—Shane was subbed in. At that point, it was already bad. Shane was the Duke of Directness, the Verbatim Vicomte; he’d come out to Ilya the minute he figured it out himself, begged to be fucked like he was following up on an email, and thought discussing the intricacies of his Evoque’s off-road capabilities made for riveting bedtime conversation. He did not do dirty talk anymore than he did losing hockey games. And yet.
Right as his skates hit the ice, he glanced over his shoulder at Ilya.
And winked.
Aka: Shane finally learns Russian. Chaos ensues.

Summary
“How did you know that Novikov needed tape earlier?” Ilya asked as he came back up. “He did not say anything himself, yes? Or you would not have texted me about it.”
“I heard him say it in Russian to himself,” Shane replied with a grin, switching to Russian.
Ilya’s face lit up like a Christmas tree. “You did? And you understood him?”
“Yes! I was so happy that I understood what he said. Of course, I had to tell you because nobody knows I can speak Russian.”
“Yes, it would be suspicious.”
===
A new Russian player, Dimitri Novikov, is drafted onto the Ottawa Centaurs in the same season that Shane Hollander is unceremoniously traded from the Montreal Voyageurs. His reasons for leaving Montreal are unclear, and the reasons he chose Ottawa are even less so. However, as Dimitri begins to suspect that Shane secretly knows Russian, his curiosity ends up getting him wrapped up in a relationship he didn’t even know existed. But perhaps a little turbulence is what Shane and Ilya needed to realize their relationship is strong enough to weather anything that comes their way.
