Family-in-Law by AlmostNormalYeah

Summary

Yuna and David Hollander raised a perfect son, a born star. But even stars are lonely up in the sky. They've always been worried, Shane tends to have tunnel vision, and a discipline that always isolated him.
Then came Ilya, the menace, Russian playboy, grade A asshole. It took exactly a week for the family of three to become a family of four. The corridors in the house had new column of photos, dining room lined with new frames, an extra cupboard filled with new clothes.
Yet, the reality didn't change. Despite the reputation, Ilya was as isolated as Shane was. Or so Yuna thought until her door bell started ringing again and again and again and the entirety of Boston and Ottawa roster shows up at her door to plan the wedding....
May God give her patience because if she gets the strength she'll kill the 20 or so adults crowding her living room like a bunch of ducklings looking up at her as their mother duck.

These are some of the ideas that won't leave me alone, but I'm amidst the busiest possible time of my final year and can't write them. These can be read as short stories, but anyone is free and welcome to develop them into full stories and tag me if possible.
I'll be adding more ideas as I go.

Summary

After coming back from David and Yuna Hollander’s home, Shane and Ilya wake up confused, no longer in the cottage they had confessed their love in.

They weren’t the only ones confused and out of their homes.

So many people joined them. Friends, ex-girlfriends, teammates, and even the MLH commissioner.

All to watch the truth between the two so-called rivals right before their eyes.
━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━
The people in this theatre would be getting a whole show full of intimate feelings and everything Shane and Ilya kept closely guarded inside their hearts, even from each other.

Shane’s eyes crossed Ilya’s and he could instantly tell what Ilya was thinking.

We are so fucked.
AKA…the characters of Heated Rivalry react to the show.

Summary

Would they get into trouble with their own team over this? Probably.

Would it be worth it?

Abso-fucking-lutely.

“He’s doing it again,” Dykstra stage-whispered, pulling Ilya back to reality. “It’s getting weird.”

Bood nodded. “Yeah. How he actually managed to land Hollzy with that creepy smile is beyond me.”

Ilya snorted. “Fuck off, idiots.”

“Ah,” Wyatt made a cheerful noise. “He’s back! We missed you, Cap.”

“But we’d also appreciate it if you could stop grinning like a lunatic,” Chouinard said, pointing at Ilya’s face. “You look like you’re about to become the Metros’ worst nightmare.”

OR

For months, Shane has been treated like an outcast—branded a traitor by the city he once called home. Now he can’t wait to leave Montreal behind for good. Yet, determined to keep his dignity, he takes part in one final fan event to raise money for a children’s hospital.

On the surface, it’s simple enough. Fans exchange money for an autograph, a picture and a fleeting moment with their former hero—nothing Shane hasn’t done countless times over the past decade. This time, however, his final obligation to the team doesn’t end the way he expects.
