Summary
Ilya hasn’t planned on meeting Shane’s parents after only three days at the cottage. He sure as hell hasn’t planned on dying that very same day, only to wake up in his childhood home in Moscow.
The year is 2004, he’s twelve again, and his mother is still alive.

Summary
The pitch is—bad.
It's stupid and annoying and the worst thing is that she can see why it might be compelling. MLH has been playing up Shane and Rozanov's rivalry for eight years because they're increasingly exceptional players, and it's still a marketable rivalry.
Which irritates her because the rivalry isn't doing anything for Shane's brand at this point, and she's been working for years with Shane's publicist to try to shift the narrative. This year's All-Star Game had seemed like the exact thing to start shifting the needle, but every time she brings Rozanov up to Shane, he deflects in a way that makes it clear that he really does genuinely dislike the man. Which is a shame, because maybe if Hannah had been able to seed some pieces about their rivalry turning into something more like mutual respect, this goddamned porn movie about her son wouldn't be on her desk.
Yuna deals with a PR nightmare.

Summary
“I did something stupid,” Shane confesses, inhaling rapidly. He's still crying, still frozen in the doorway, besides his hitching chest and watering eyes. Hayden's never seen him like this, overtaken with emotion, bitter exhaustion in his voice. He makes a soft choked noise, and Hayden immediately wants to kill something, whatever it is that's making him feel so awful. “I—Hayds—you're gonna hate me—”
“No,” Hayden says before he can even finish the thought, almost hurt by the accusation. “No way. You're—I wouldn't. I won't.”
Shane sniffs, offering him a sad smile, his eyes watery and solemn. It's an unfamiliar look, burnt through with sorrow and twisting doubt, sharp worry in the furrow of his brow. “You are,” he says, soft and certain. “I do, and I'm the one who's doing it.”
OR: Shane returns to the hotel room, post-tuna melt. Hayden spirals.

Summary
The problem is, no one knows how to market Ilya Rozanov's (in his own words) sexy Euro masculinity to an audience of white straight men.
He needs the best. And if it happens to be his secret lovers' mother who despises his very existence, so be it.

Summary
It was supposed to be a rivalry campaign.
But somehow it spirals into #hollanov becoming the most talked about thing in the world of hockey. Now the NHL must choose: profits or homophobia?
Vance smiled. It was a cold smile. “The money is green. And right now, the gays, the girls, and the… whatever the hell 'furries' are… possess a lot of green. And they want to give it to us.” He turned back to Crowell. “If we deny this,” Vance said, “we alienate a massive new customer base. We look like out of touch dinosaurs. The stock drops. The revenue dries up. We go back to fighting with the NBA for scraps of the market share."
A fic where homophobia and corporate greed duke it out, and to no one's surprise, its another victory for capitalism.

Summary
The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed.
Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.
Reentry is harder than expected.

Summary
“I told you. Hollander and I, we are in love. He is my hockey player.” Ilya wiggled his eyebrows at the joke, but couldn’t keep himself from watching Scott Hunter.
“Sure, Roz. You and Hollander are in love, want to get married, spend the rest of your lives playing hockey together.” When Ilya didn’t immediately reply to that very accurate statement, Hunter continued: “If you two are in love, I’m straight. That’s how likely that is.” He had laughed and skated away, though Ilya really hadn’t understood what was supposed to be funny about that.
Standing alone on the ice, the crowd slowly filing out of the rink, Ilya was faced with a startling realization: telling people may be harder than he thought.

What if Shane gave Ilya permission to soft launch their relationship. Ilya is, of course, thrilled and immediately starts telling everyone around him. Problem is, no one believes him!Series

Summary
Shane wakes up on Tuesday at 5:26 AM on game day in Boston, four minutes before his alarm goes off. Shane wants it to be Wednesday. But no matter what, Shane wakes up on Tuesday at 5:26 AM on game day in Boston, four minutes before his alarm goes off.
”Fuck,” he croaks. “Fuck, fuck, fuck.”
Chapter 1: Shane wakes up on the same Tuesday over and over again after leaving Rozanov in a rush. Tuesday is his second least favourite day of the week, so he's not really happy about it.
Chapter 2: Ilya notices Shane acts strangely. He just never remembers.

Wyatt was not, like, nosy. For sure, he was interested. He was curious. He engaged with people, obviously, because most people were interesting and engaging and had cool thoughts and said neat stuff if you asked.
So, no. Wyatt wasn’t nosy, but he wasn’t stupid, either.

Summary
Hollander sighs. “It doesn’t concern you,” he says, and his eyes are pointed at Ilya but his gaze is unfocused, distant. Ilya remembers that last, game-winning shot. He wants Hollander’s attention, wants it more in this moment than he’d wanted the goal.
Ilya spreads his hands. “Then why are we still here when we could already be having victory sex in another room?” He smiles, deliberate and mean. “Well, victory sex for me, not for you.”
Normally, this would do the trick. Hollander stares back at Ilya and then says,
“Hayden’s sister thinks I have symptoms of autism.”
(Set circa 2014. Shane wrestles with the possibility he might be autistic. Ilya wrestles with how badly he wants Shane.)

Summary
“Why are you here?”
“You see,” Rozanov drawls, “twenty-two years ago, my parents decide they fuck and –”
“Ugh. Shut up.” Shane scowls. “No, I mean – why here?” why now?
The smirk slides off Rozanov’s face. “They want –” he swallows, bringing one arm up to drape over his eyes. “The team I play for. During lockout. They… disagree about rest of season. Tell me I stay.”
“But they can’t do that!”
Rozanov gives him a sardonic smirk.
When Rozanov’s Russian team doesn’t want to let him return to the MLH after the 2012-13 lockout, Shane finds himself pulled into a harebrained scheme to make sure his rival is safe – and it might just work. Now he only has to navigate a secret pretend relationship while also facing the condensed MLH season. But needs must, right?

Summary
They’d considered it—Shane being gay. It’d been an option. But Ilya Rozanov and the way Shane looks at him like he’s the love of his life has blindsided them. Blindsided both of them, and there’s almost nothing Yuna likes less than being blindsided.
She’s not mad, David wants to say. We’re so proud of you. We’re so happy for you. We just didn’t know.
Somehow we missed it, you falling in love.
or, what David Hollander and Ilya Rozanov talk about while Shane and Yuna are outside in episode six.

Summary
“Pretend we don't know each other?” Shane repeats, a little confused in all honesty. Wasn't therapy about talking?
“Yes. You are meeting for the first time in this room. Introduce yourselves.”
Shane shifts in his seat, slowly turning to Ilya. It's not all that different from the first time they'd actually met; the awkward vibes radiating off Shane are almost identical. They're just missing a snowy forecast and a cigarette.
He decides to go a step further, standing up. It feels the right thing to do under the circumstances. Who meets for the first time sitting down? He takes a step forward, holding his hand out to Ilya. Or not Ilya. This random man he’s about to meet, who happens to look a lot like Ilya. Ilya takes the cue, standing from his own chair with a shake of his head. He takes Shane’s hand, shaking firmly.
“I’m Shane, uh, Shane Hollander.”
Ilya nods. “Ilya Rozanov.”

"Not because he is gay," Ilya says as if to a child. "Because Scott Hunter is seven million years old. It's not right. He should not be with someone so young."
Shane throws him a tiny, perfect smirk. "When Scott Hunter was his age, he wasn't even born."
"Exactly! You get it, Hollander," Ilya says, using the excuse to throw an arm around Shane's shoulders. "We must stage intervention. Cannot let nice young man be cradle-snatched."

Summary
Argus' life was a largely thankless one (unless you counted the thanks of the paintings he maintained), working on keeping a thousand year old castle from falling down around the ears of students who didn't care. He had his cat, his work, his books, and a constant boil of self hatred and resentment to get him by.
And then a sixth year handed him a letter from her aunt, thanking him for acting as conservator of Hogwarts and calling him Dr. Filch. It was the first time he had been called Doctor since he started at the castle. He had little choice but to write back, after that.

“Fair play,” Rhaenyra replies, “But you can’t just spend all summer wasting away here, your only friend to speak of being the 30 year old lesbian who cleans your pool.”
“That seems like something you made up just now,” Aegon responds lightly, “Rather than an actual rule.”
or,
After her mugshot makes it into the tabloids, Rhaenyra strikes a deal to keep her inheritance that involves a summer spent working at her cousin's landscaping company. This brings her to the house of delinquent teenager Aegon Hightower and his lonely, high-strung mother.

Summary
It was entirely unfair, Alicent thought, that on this day (a day where she was hungover, had no make-up on, was sweating to the point that she could feel it beading on her temple and upper lip, and her shirt was sticking everywhere) she would come face-to-face with the most gorgeous woman she had ever seen.
“Hi,” the object of Alicent’s frustration said amiably, standing behind the till in the Student Union’s coffee shop. “How are you?”
In which Alicent Hightower drinks coffee, makes small talk, and really, really fancies her favourite barista.
