Summary
Ilya Rozanov never imagined he would be learning to play hockey at the age of 25, but when he sees an ad for a five-week course, he signs up.
He ends up being the only adult in a line-up full of kids with dreams of going pro. That's not him - not anymore - yet something keeps him coming back each week: their coach, Shane Hollander.

Summary
The hockey world is shocked when #1 draft pick Ilya Rozanov backs out of the NHL last second and opts to play for the KHL in his home country. Nobody knows why, and he leaves North America without comment. So Shane does what any kid with a crush did in 2010.
He emails him.
Or; the Hollanov epistolary email fic

Summary
On the life of his whole career, Lando would swear he doesn’t mean for it to become a routine, the café.
Only, on Monday, Lewis stops technique to compliment Max’s extensions during centre adage – Max’s – and then directs his stupid, stuck-up, closed-lipped grin at Lando when he fucks up the timing of the same combination during his group’s rotation at it. And Lando can’t sit around the lobby avoiding everybody’s eyes after, feels like he’ll suffocate if he does, so he wraps his scarf around his neck another time and trudges the same four doors down, shoulders through the same door.
“Morning!” Oscar calls from behind the counter.
(Alternatively: Lando is a ballet dancer in timeout. Oscar works in a coffee shop. This is a Hallmark Christmas movie.)

Summary
Ilya Rozanov never goes to the cottage.
He goes home to Russia instead—and disappears from Shane Hollander’s life without a word.
Years later, the news reaches him anyway: the Hollander family is gone, Shane’s career is over, and the boy who once lived and breathed hockey is learning how to exist in a body that no longer moves the way it used to.
Ilya returns for a funeral he was never invited to, carrying years of silence, regret, and a love he never stopped feeling.
Some wounds don’t close.
Some love arrives too late to save anything—but still refuses to die.

Summary
When Shane starts the document, it makes sense to him.
Later on, when it’s published onto a hundred different gossip sites with hundreds of comments dissecting every word, it looks insane.
It starts because Shane has no one to talk to about everything. He’s never even kept a journal. He balks at the thought of getting a therapist. It’s not like he’s going to risk writing it down physically for someone to find. The only logical way that Shane can think of to deal with his feelings is to open up a blank Google Docs page and start writing.
or Shane decides to write down all his feelings instead of talking to Ilya. After years of writing about their relationship, the entire document gets leaked online.
