    Summary

    The photo is blurry, timestamped 2:17 AM, but there's no mistaking Ilya Rozanov walking into Shane Hollander's building the night Boston wins in Montreal.

    By morning, it's everywhere.

    --

    They've been so careful. But one fan with a camera phone unravels it all, and suddenly Shane and Ilya have to answer questions about what they are besides rivals. Shane's team wants him to deny everything. Ilya's family demands the same.

    Canon divergence where the secret comes out three years early, and Shane and Ilya have to decide if what they have is real under intense media pressure. Set right before the tuna melt game would have happened.

    Summary

    Everyone reading this knows Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are in love.

    Hayden Pike and Cliff Marleau are about to find out the hard way: in an empty parking lot, after a hit that ended Shane's season, with absolutely no idea what they're going to do about it.

    Two idiots, one secret neither of them asked for, and a slow, reluctant, increasingly unhinged campaign to put it right.

    Summary

    Shane stood alone in his cottage. It had always been his favorite place—a respite from the noise and chaos of life as a professional athlete—but in this moment the solitude he usually craved at the end of the season felt empty.

    In the last few months, it almost felt like they’d moved closer to turning whatever they had into something. But maybe he’d actually fucked it all up and Ilya was going to let it stay broken, leaving Shane sitting in his giant house all alone.

    ____

    It's Summer 2017. The San Francisco Mission beat The New York Admirals to win The Cup. Scott Hunter leaves the ice with his team, Ilya goes to Russia with Svetlana, and Shane goes to his cottage alone.

    Or... what happens if Scott doesn't kiss Kip on the ice.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander expected a lot out of the combine before the 2009 NHL draft: meeting the competition, impressing possible future teams and ultimately securing his spot in the NHL.

    What he didn't expect was 50 questions that were about to change his whole damn life.

    Or: How an autism diagnosis, a therapist and something magical called communication rebuild the whole trajectory of the Hollander/Rozanov saga bit by bit.

    Summary

    Shane gasped and stumbled backwards. “Three weeks? You decided-” his hands flew to his mouth. “How could you do this without talking to me? This is what? To punish me because I won’t come out on your timeline?”

    Ilya felt a stab of anger. “You won’t come out on any timeline!”

    Shane blinked at him. “I literally drove here tonight because I wanted to know if you would accept six to twelve months!” 

    “A timeline,” he barked. “This is our lives, Shane. I want to be with you fully now. I know you are scared, but you need to be brave, and I am so deeply fucking unhappy being your dirty little secret.”

    “That’s not fair Ilya, it’s going to be complicated for me. I’m already the only Asian captain in the league! The media, sponsors, the Voyageurs? It’s going to need to be carefully managed-”

    Or: After the Boxing Day fight, Ilya loses faith in the idea that Shane will come out quickly and decides to make a wild move and agrees on a trade to Vancouver. Can these two idiots in love find their way back to each other?
