Summary
“Mm, not stuff his pockets with the drug everyone thinks makes you gay right before a press conference? Maybe!” Ilya’s voice chimed happily from the phone.
“You wanna tell us why you’re so acquainted with Rush that you can identify it in 780p, Ilya?” Kip asked.
“…I have so much leather to deodorize, Kip Grady. So many sports cars, you know.”
--
Kip can't believe no one else can tell how outrageously gay Ilya Rozanov is, but he's not complaining, he's happy to have someone else to talk to at all the hockey functions.
Or: Perfect gaydar haver Ilya Rozanov finally gets a taste of his own medicine. A series of looks into Kip and Ilya's friendship, starting after the cottage.

Summary
@ottawacentaurs
Shane Hollander ranks hockey players; number five will surprise you!“Who’s the third?” Shane asked with seemingly genuine confusion.
“What?”
“The third player.” Shane clarified, “In the big three of active players? I mean it’s me and Ilya, right?”
Amelia nodded mutely whilst Luca Haas, who had been asked the question, stared at Shane with wide eyes.
“So, who’s the third?” Shane’s face took on a contemplative look.
“Scott Hunter?” Amelia said with confusion.
“Hunter?” Shane looked surprised. “Why?”
Across the room Roz let out a bark of laughter.Bookmarked by mirrorball

Somebody Told the Stars (That You're Not Coming Out Tonight) by PastyPirate

Summary
“They all know you’re a king Hollander,” Ilya muttered in Shane’s ear, speaking slowly so Shane could parse out the Russian words with his quick brain as they watched a rookie leave to go tell his friends that he talked to Hollander and Rozanov.
“Shut up,” Shane said, nudging him with his elbow before letting his hand drop to Ilya’s thigh. “I’m just here as a supportive husband.”
Shane Hollander is not invited to the All-Stars game as retaliation, but his husband, Ilya Rozanov, is. The lines between being a supportive husband and being unhinged about their shared dynasty gets a little blurred.

Summary

And Ilya... well, Ilya is just playing along to keep the peace. Right? He doesn't need therapy. But if it helps his friend be less worried, so be it.

the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose by alchemystique
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV)

Summary
There hadn’t been a whole lot of tape, back then, not on a bunch of kids who were likely to get chewed up and spit out by the KHL, but Rozanov was a special case – his agent had clearly known his aim was for North American leagues, and there’d been a few tapes leaked here and there of the fourteen, fifteen, sixteen year old phenom who had more trick plays up his sleeve than Yuna, personally, thought was true hockey. The video of his spin on the Michigan had made the rounds in David’s McGill email chain, and Yuna had tipped her chin up and sworn up and down he’d be a one-trick pony who’d be flat on his ass the first time he tried that shit in the pros.
Shane had downloaded the video to his desktop and studied the tape like he did old games of Scott Hunter.

Yuna Hollander works through years of memories in attempt to discover when she should have known her son didn't trust her with all of himself.

Summary
The best way to describe this work, I think, is as a novelization of the television series told from Ilya Rozanov's point of view. What happens in the series will happen, more or less, in this work.
Please note, I did read both Heated Rivalry and The Long Game by Rachel Reid, but that was some time ago and my recollection of them is spotty at best. Because they are novels and this is a written story, I did NOT consult the books in order to reduce the chance that I would inadvertently plagiarize them. That means that where the television series leaves a gap in the narrative, I may fill it with something very different than what happens in the books. We will all end up at the cottage, but some of us are taking a slightly different path to get there.
This novelization means that potentially triggering things that happen in the series (like mental health issues) will happen in this work. NOTE, HOWEVER, no new issues will be added in this work. No one dies. No one is outed. No one is assaulted. This is just the story of the show as if it were from Ilya's point of view.

The Quiet Assist by Kiyominox
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
24 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
Shane has always believed survival meant discipline. Precision. Powering through the noise, the pressure, the parts of himself that never quite fit. Hockey gave him rules when the world didn’t, and he learned to excel inside that structure even as everything else scraped him raw.
Ilya notices what no one else does.
Quiet adjustments, steady presence, and the refusal to treat Shane’s needs like flaws. When the idea Shane has been running from finally takes shape, it doesn’t break him. It reframes everything. The anger. The exhaustion. The brilliance.
This is not a story about fixing what’s broken.
It’s about learning a language for the way Shane’s mind has always worked, and what becomes possible when he stops fighting it. It’s about love that makes room instead of taking space. About a rivalry that becomes partnership. And about what happens when understanding doesn’t just change a player, but reshapes the game itself.
Because some legacies aren’t written in records.
They’re written in who gets to stay.

Summary
The most common question Shane fields in interviews is, "What's your secret?" Every time, and Ilya thinks he might have watched every interview ever published with Shane Hollander in the chair, so he is an authority on this, Shane has leaned just a touch closer to the microphone and said with utter sincerity. "Preparation."

Summary
“Be careful,” Shane frets, one hand hovering over Ilya’s shoulder. “It’s icy, and I don’t want to be a widower.”
“Oh, we’d have to be much higher than this for the fall to kill me,” Ilya says, gaze still fixed on the cool black skyline. “At least seven stories.”
It’s not until much later, as the waitress is clearing the dishes from dinner, that Yuna finds herself wondering why Ilya knows exactly how high a fall needs to be in order to kill him.
Or: Yuna learns about Ilya's past bit by bit over the years.

Summary
Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.
It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.

Summary
They’re getting into a rhythm now, though, and Shane can see it. He can see this team winning the Cup this year. He tries not to get ahead of himself, tries to stay focused and go game by game, reminds himself that building up a team takes time and several seasons, but god. He wants this legacy: for himself, for Ottawa, for Ilya. For both of them and everyone else.
Which is why, goddamnit, now is not the time to crash out over fantasies of Ilya working his whole hand down to the wrist into Shane’s ass and fucking him on his fist. And yet. Shane should know by now that timing and “good ideas” are rarely factors in whether or not he gets obsessed with something.
OR:
It starts, as a surprising number of things actually do, with a text from Rose.

One security camera. One leaked video. One choice that changes everything.
Ilya Rozanov loses his country, his team, and his shot at Olympic gold in a single night. But he doesn’t lose Shane, and that makes all the difference.
A story about finding home in a person, not a place. About choosing love over legacy. And about winning the medal you never knew you needed, standing next to the one person who matters most.

Summary
Hayden knows what he saw. Clear as day, right there in the middle of Shane’s text thread with Lily.
A dick pic.
Hayden keeps mindlessly scrolling Instagram—a pantomime of paying attention, not really taking in anything that’s passing across his screen. Mind racing as a series of realizations wash over him.
Christ, no wonder Shane was so cagey about Lily. No wonder he didn’t want to introduce her to the guys.
Hayden would like to believe that everyone would be chill with it, but he could think of at least five guys off the top of his head that would a hundred percent take issue with Shane dating a trans woman. He can imagine, far too easily, the kind of slurs that would get thrown around the locker room if anyone ever found out. Towards Lily, sure, but towards Shane too—because Shane had to be gay, if his girlfriend had a dick, right?
Or, Hayden finds out something that he was never supposed to, and decides that the only thing he can do is show his best friend that he can be the best ally ever, if he just gives him the chance.Series

Summary
Morals Clause: A contract provision that may be used in endorsement, spokesperson, and similar agreements to give the advertiser the right to terminate the deal, seek damages, or remove branding if the individual engages in actions bringing disrepute, scandal, or negative attention, protecting the brand's image and financial interests.
Yuna does her research—apparently, a morals clause is common, in contracts like this.
It bothers her, a little, how vague it is, but ultimately, she doesn’t see an issue with it—at least, not really.
Shane is many things, and she is so, so excited to see how much more he becomes… but, for all of the many things she imagines in his future, she doesn't think he's capable of doing anything that could be accurately described as scandalous.
She's wrong.
