    Summary

    Everyone always thought that Shane Hollander was boring. Turns out, when he's got no hockey career to lose, the media trained filter comes off, and he turns into a fan-favorite commentator - he's brutal, funny and knows every stat in MLH history.

    AU where Shane and Ilya never got together and have been rivals the whole time. It's 2017 and Shane's injury during the Metros v Raiders game ends his career. So, the question is, what's next?

    Summary

    "But it hadn't been just once. Instead of getting Shane out of his system he learned that his body just seemed to crave more, more, more. He wanted Shane all the fucking time. And not just to fuck, although he wanted that too. He wanted Shane’s tired mornings and boring evenings.

    And fuck, is Shane boring.

    But boring in a way that Ilya found himself craving over and over again.

    Ilya's life has always been a series of chaotic events. His body has adapted to instability. It is now a foundation for his survival. Chaos is his set point, his normal, and what he craves.

    Somewhere along the way between his mother's death, his father's cruel hand, and learning to hide parts of himself with other boys in storage closets and bathrooms, his brain learned to accept that danger and turmoil are comforting - a kind of normal that he can comprehend."

     

    Or, Shane realizes that Ilya's never been on a date and that nobody has done anything romantic for him before, so he rectifies that. #IlyaRozanovIsLoved

    While Ilya is working through his feelings, it's very light on the angst. No fighting between them just cuteness.

    Summary

    Shane is a competitive person. He always has been.

    In professional avenues it has always been an asset. He would not have gotten nearly as far in hockey as he has without the obsessive need to win that boils in his blood.

    But personally, not so much.

    “You make it not fun anymore, Shane.” The neighbor boy had informed him irritatedly. Winning is fun, Shane had thought to himself. Being the best is fun. What’s the point otherwise?

    It had hurt when he was young, the invisible wall he had felt solidify between himself and his peers. As he got older, more entrenched in true competitive hockey, the old hurt faded, though the wall between himself and the people around him had seemed to stay. But he was the best. That was what mattered. He was the best.

    So yes, Shane was competitive. In everything. And that’s what it really boiled down to, not jealousy, never jealousy. He and Rozanov were fuck buddies, what did he have to be jealous about?

    Summary

    Ilya stood next to Svetlana, jaw tight, fists clenched ... helpless. He had failed to lead the Russian Olympic hockey team to victory and now his child, little Mishenka (Mikhail), would pay the price.

    His father did not tolerate failure. The terms were stated explicitly. If he wanted to see his child, he had to win. His father had no mercy. Svetlana had made the mistake of going home to bear their son, a son who had been confiscated at birth and prevented from following his parents west, held hostage to ensure compliance. Now, Ilya's father would once again prevent him and Sveta from seeing their two year old son.

    It was a devastating loss. After his father's cutting words ended, Ilya walked away. Sveta and he both found a separate quiet corner to grieve as they packed their bags and got on a plane. Watching Russia fall away from beneath the wheels of the jet, he did not allow himself to cry.

    0o0

    Shane habitually defied expectations. The Canadian Olympic hockey player surprised Russian Officials, survived a fire at sea, defied his mother, and found a whole new gear when he stole a small child with curly blond hair. Now he had to get the two of them out of Russia.
