    Summary

    "We have to get the rookies together," Ilya announces without preamble.

    "Jesus," Shane mutters. Talk about subtle. "Have you ever left anything alone for once in your life?"

    He grins. "No. Is how I got you!"

    Or: There's a new rookie in town. Luca Haas is handling this just fine.

    Summary

    “Shane mentioned you were trying to beat Ilya’s record in shot accuracy,” Rose says. She has an amused look on her face that transforms into laughter when Ilya raises an eyebrow.

    “Just mine, moy podsolnukh?” he asks. “But you are the current record holder.”

    “Well… no one’s beaten it in a decade,” Shane says with a shrug.

    “But it’s Luca!” Ilya says. “You know he can beat you.”

    Luca meets Shane’s eyes. He’d been thinking about it a lot. Probably more than he should have, but his stupid brain wouldn’t shut up about it, how Shane would feel if for some reason he did beat the record. “I am not quite Shane Hollander, though,” Luca says.

    Rose hums. “No, thank god,” she says. “I don’t know if the world could handle more than one Shane Hollander.”

     

    or, Luca is invited to his first All-Star Weekend.

    Summary

    “I asked you a question, Shane. What do we say when God gives us something? ”
    Shane’s head tips back against Ilya’s clothed shoulder, his whole body trembling. The cross in front of him taunts him, almost as much as the cold press of Ilya’s own gold-chained crucifix against his burning skin does.
    “Thank you,” he pants. “Thanks be to God.”
    “And if God wants to give us other blessings?”
    “More.” His answer comes out like a beg, a desperate plea for food from a starving man.

    Or - the one where priest Ilya fucks an overstimulated Shane in the Confessional.

    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
    __________________________________________________________________

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.

    Shane Hollander's Unofficial Fan Club by

    Summary

    Harris had an unofficial poll on a whiteboard in the media team’s office: Team Hollander vs Team Rozanov; something that apparently was never allowed to be revealed to the general public according to Harris’s strong warning the first time Wyatt had seen it. He had promptly and dramatically signed his name under Team Hollander, though he had to write small in the little space left. He had obviously landed up at the best team possible - at least when it came to being a fan of Shane Hollander.
    Then Ilya Rozanov was traded to Ottawa.
    Suddenly, Shane Hollander went from a Hockey God, whose presence Wyatt was graced with a few times a year, to the most talked about figure in the Centaurs locker room.
    Ilya Rozanov was not Shane Hollander, but he might as well be the second best thing. Who else knew Shane Hollander better than his rival? Here was a live, captive source of information. A practical Shane Hollander encyclopaedia.
    Or
    The Ottawa Centaurs accidentally end up being the Shane Hollander Unofficial Fan Club. And now, with Ilya on the team, Shane Hollander is always there! Wow!
