Summary
The first thing that people notice when they look at Ilya is the way that the word disappointment carves itself in jagged, angry letters along his jawline. This is not the worst mark he bears—it’s just the most visible.
(In which the most hurtful things your soulmate has thought about themself appear as words cut into your body. Shane and Ilya find reasons to love each other anyway.)

Summary
“Go jerk off to Rose Landry without me,” he grumbles as a final statement.
“I heard her character dies in this one though,” Cliff mentions absentmindedly.
Ilya halts in his step. Thinks about it. Turns around and agrees to meet them at 9.
In which Ilya’s teammates are tired of him hating on the X-Squad franchise without having seen it, so they drag him to the sequel's premiere.
Imagine his surprise when his boyfriend comes up on screen. Acting as Rose Landry's boyfriend.
Ilya really fucking hates those movies.
Alternatively, Shane forgot to mention his not-so-brief cameo in Rose’s movie. The internet (and Ilya) want him to start a career as an action star because holy shit, he’s hot in that movie.

Summary
If this is Christmas, Ilya will start to believe in that stupid man who lives with polar bears and makes toys.
He'll believe in anything, any God, any religion, if Shane Hollander’s body is its temple.
Or: the sugary highs and lows of Christmas Day through the years, from Ilya Rozanov's perspective.

Summary
Shane is heavier than he used to be; his weight bears down on Ilya in a new way. He’s put on pounds of muscle since Ilya last touched him like this. Ilya flattens his palms, skims them under Shane’s undershirt, feels the flat solidity of his abs, the bulk of his lats, the swell of his chest. It’s the same and it’s new, this body; it’s the boy he couldn’t stop thinking about when he was 18 and the man he loved enough to let go at 26 and the person who somehow always comes to find him when he’s lost.
A stranger, and the love of his life.
—
or, Ilya's father doesn't die in 2017; Ilya breaks up with Shane instead of confessing his love. They get older, but not any less stupid about each other. Shane gets a boyfriend; Ilya gets on medication; they work on becoming whole people. And they always find their way back to each other.
OR a story for those who love Shane and Ilya's baby love but ALSO think it's hot when people in their thirties make active choices about who they are and what they want in their partner!!
Note: the "cheating" tag refers to the relationship between Shane and his aforementioned BF, not to Shane and Ilya cheating on each other.

Summary
finn @jjsvoyagos
I was scrolling on the tl and apparently some hockey romance novel is getting adapted?? And the streets are saying that the main character is sort of like shane hollander?> marcie ! 24 defender @hollzypuck
please don’t mention riding the edge on voystwt, it’s a triggering subject for us all 😭> > finn @jjsvoyagos
?? i’m new here, pls explain the lore> > > marcie ! 24 defender @hollzypuck
it’s a really weird smutty book that inadvertently sexualizes shane. the main guy is literally shane hollander with a different name. elite player, youngest captain in montreal franchise history, golden boy, half-japanese half-canadian, same exact personality and looks… idk even if the character is somehow not inspired by shane hollander, then it’s kind of suspicious how similar they are…> > > > finn @jjsvoyagos
Oh… that is weird as fuckor: a straight hockey romance becomes the biggest show on the planet. The internet is convinced (correctly) that the male lead is 100% based on Shane Hollander. Too bad almost no one knows Shane Hollander is gay.
