    Summary

    Once outside, he leaned forward and put his hand against the cold stone wall. His phone was still to his ear, the message still recording. 

    “Ilya. Please. Please. I can’t do this. I don’t know what to do. Please. You can’t be dead.” His voice broke on the word. “I love you. I love you so much. More than anything. I need to hear your voice. I need you to…I need you…I need you…fuck. Please Ilya, please.” 

    Shane took the phone away from his ear and held it between both hands as though he were praying. He realized he was on the floor and didn’t know how he got there. He was crying. He was fairly certain he was hyperventilating. 

    His brain was desperately trying to grab at anything. Any thread of logic. Any idea of what to do next. 

    I have to see him. 

    Yes. That made sense. Shane needed to get to Tampa. Now. He would go there. He would find Ilya. Ilya would be fine. They would be together. He would see him. Tell him how much he loved him. He had to go. He had to go now. 

    ***

    OR: What if Ilya lost his phone during the emergency landing, Shane couldn't reach him, he panicked, and chartered a plane to Tampa to find him instead...

    Summary

    (summary and tags contain SPOILERS for earlier works in the series!)

    Shane and Ilya are champions. They are partners, and they’re in it for life. And people are starting to notice.

    After being traumatically outed two years ago, Shane and Ilya's relationship and their lives have been fundamentally changed, and most days, Shane thinks that's a good thing. But sometimes, the pressure of being out, and the endless online speculation about #hollanov, and rumors running rampant through the NHL, and a new generation of rookies looking up to them, and the knowledge that everyone is relying on Shane Hollander to be perfect at all times—sometimes it's a lot.

    But Shane's dealing with it. Ilya seems happier than he's ever been, and Shane just needs to get his act together to support his husband. He can do that. He needs to, and he will, if he doesn't crack under the pressure first.

    They've got a second Stanley Cup to win, after all.

    Summary

    Shane had so many hopes, so many dreams. He wanted to be drafted by the Metros, wanted to play hockey in the NHL, wanted to see what would happen if he continued to let Ilya Rozanov flirt with him.

    He would never get this chance. Not when the world comes crashing down around them, the world taken over by the undead.

    Zombie apocalypse alternate universe, can Shane and Ilya find each other in every universe or are they only destined to find each other through their love of hockey?

    Summary

    Shane never got over what happened in that last season in Montreal. The first year in Ottawa was never supposed to break them like this. Neither of them know it's the last time they will argue like this. After a brutal loss and a worse fight, Shane vanishes-taken by the one person Ilya has spent years trying to ignore and forget. When the case ends in Ottawa River, everyone else accepts the inevitable.
    Every except Ilya. Because Shane has never been good at letting go. And Ilya has never been good at giving up on him.

    Shane disappears into the river-and Ilya is the only one who refuses to let him go.

    Everyone else believes Shane is dead; Ilya believes he's still fighting his way home.

    Complete.

    Summary

    “What hospital are we going to?”

    “Shane,” this voice belongs to Coach Theriault. “I understand that you’re concerned for your friend but a game still needs to be played and Rozanov has to get—”

    “I’m his husband!” Shane explodes. “I wouldn’t be playing regardless because the hospital will be calling me the moment he lands there because I am his next of kin, so with all due respect Coach, get out of my way because I’m going with him.”

    Things get dead silent and Ilya wishes he could find out what else is going on, but that’s the moment his concussion decides to win the battle because everything fades away and goes black.

    -

    Or: Shane and Ilya have been married in secret for months. And that all blows up when Ilya gets injured during a game.
