When the hole in your heart is too big to hide by shortykuma

Summary
Based on a Reddit prompt by u/backtothefuture2028.
Ilya, emotionally drained from being away from Shane for weeks and tired after a fight on ice with Dallas Kent and a tough away game loss, accidentally reveals a boyfriend at the ensuing press conference. Unable at first, then unwilling to take it back to avoid speculation, Ilya finally learns just how much support he actually has once his heart is splayed open for the world to see.
Updated with a second chapter at Bood’s barbecue! Definitely a sillier palate cleanse after the first chapter.

Summary
Because over the years Becky, Shane's personal assistant, had come to love him. Not in a romantic way, or even a familial way. But in a deep platonic soulmate kind of way. Because she knew everything about him. And she knew how without the staff and the help and her he would be anxious and out of sorts and closed. Because she couldn’t help but think that he gained the freedom to find someone to move into his life when she took away all the little annoyances and decisions of the world.

Summary
After Shane comes out, the Metros become convinced he might be attracted to them.
Shane corrects this assumption with devastating precision, accidentally describes Ilya Rozanov in the process, and somehow turns the entire locker room into a deranged pageant of heterosexual insecurity.
Edit: Additional content added 27/06/2026 in relation to future fic "The Benchmark" 😈

Summary
Shane sees one too many photos of Ilya with other women and decides if he has to suffer, Ilya does too.
Enter: thirst traps, questionable decisions, and captions written for an audience of exactly one.
Ilya absolutely does not handle it well.
Or: Shane weaponizes Twitter, and Ilya falls for it every time.

Summary
It does mean missing out on things like barbeques and team dinners sometimes, but it’s not as if he would have been able to participate anyway. At this point in his life, risking someone not taking his allergies seriously would mean potentially missing games, which makes it unacceptable. Jackie always makes sure he has a dish or two that’s safe when he’s over at their house, but if he was going to be the one guy sitting and drinking ginger ale instead of taking part in sharing nachos or Korean barbeque or burgers or any other delicious thing he goes in knowing he can’t have anyway, there’s no point in making a fuss about it. He eats at home, has a drink with everyone else, and he calls it a day. Easy. Safe. Foolproof.
But also the reason it doesn’t occur to him that he hasn’t actually told Ilya about any of his allergies until it becomes immediately relevant five days into being at his cottage together.
