Summary
“Did I do something wrong?”
“No. No, Hollander,” Ilya coughed, eyes flitting around the room. “Is just– Is too much.”
“This is… too much?” Shane repeated slowly, incredulously. “We see each other maybe once a month. Less, even.”
“No. Is not that– You are just,” Ilya swore under his breath in Russian. His accent was getting thicker, the words clunkier, in the way it always got stronger when he was frustrated or tired. Shane hated himself for recognizing it. “...too much.”
OR
In the Heated Rivalry book, Ilya intends to break things off with Shane the night of the All-Star Game, but then Shane gets hurt. What if Shane never gets injured by Marlow, and Ilya really does break things off?
(Basically, a shit ton of angst and Shane Hollander learning to love himself. There will be a happy ending!)

Summary
People often mistook Shane as unemotional or unexpressive. These people were wrong. Shane wore every thought on his face, if you were paying attention. Ilya had been paying attention to every muscle twitch for five years. He was fluent in Shane Hollander’s microexpressions. The widening of his eyes when something delighted him. The flaring of his nostrils when he was annoyed. The tightening of his jaw when he was nervous.
Right now, Ilya couldn’t identify a single god-forsaken emotion on Shane’s face.
“Are you okay?” Ilya’s voice cracked.
Shane didn’t react. “Never better. Is that all?”
...
Shane Hollander gets Hanahaki at the Sochi Olympics. He is not ready to die. He's determined to fall out of love with Ilya Rozanov. Unfortunately when that doesn't work, he takes the only other way out.

Summary
I feel like he truly only likes me for my ass, Shane thinks. But thankfully, there’s just enough of his brain-to-mouth filter still working well enough to translate that to, “I feel like she truly only likes me for my dick. But maybe I wanna cuddle after or some shit. Is that a crime?”
“Absolutely not, Hollander. You should get all the cuddles you want after a good fuck.” Cliff raises his glass and winks.
He can't believe he's really just talking to Rozanov’s teammate and friend about him. Not that he knows it’s about Rozanov, but still.
Shane's never having vodka ever again. But for now, he’ll let it lower his inhibitions—if only to get all of this off his chest. Maybe then it’d stop fucking aching.
shane strikes up an unlikely friendship with cliff marleau after he walks out of ilya’s penthouse suite in vegas feeling worthless. it’s all fairly innocent at first, until a threesome with shane and a woman awakens something in cliff that he’s never even thought about before. he confides in ilya without revealing who his secret gay awakening was, but ilya connects the dots anyway and goes on a jealous rampage before finally confronting his feelings for shane.

Summary
“No. Wait. You're Hayden’s college roommate. You're Elian." Shane replied, more of a statement than a question, because he would be so fucked if it turned out that the other man wasn't Elian.
“Who the fuck is Hayden?" The man—apparently Ilya—asked.
Shane looked at the him and shook his head. No. No. This must be another one of Hayden's pranks.
or: shane accidentally 'kidnaps' mafia boss ilya. chaos ensues.
