    Summary

    Instead of waiting to sign as a UFA with Ottawa (and to get the hell away from Montreal), Shane decides to take the scenic route through the NHL, landing with the LA Kings for one (1) single season.

    It might just be the best thing that has ever happened to Ilya.

    (approximately the ten millionth 'Ilya/Shane gets added to the WAG chat' fic because you can never have enough of these two finding much needed solace in female friendships)

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is perfectly capable of identifying flaws.

    He can identify flaws in his game.

    Flaws in his team's systems.

    Flaws in the way hockey romance novels portray professional athletes.

    What he cannot identify, despite overwhelming evidence, is the reason every character he writes keeps turning into Ilya Rozanov.

    A story about hockey, fiction, denial, and all the things Shane would rather not think about.

    Summary

    This is a love letter to the all the millenials like me who played it too careful and forgot to enjoy our youth. Shane and Ilya, enjoy it for me, do good. Fuck it good, fuck it right. Life is too short to live it scared.

    The arena is too loud.
    That’s the first thing Shane notices; not the ice, not the lights, not the jersey on his shoulders that suddenly feels wrong in a way he can’t articulate. The sound hits him like pressure, like something physical, a wall of noise that vibrates in his chest.
    He’s already bent over for the faceoff when it hits him- skates set, stick down, weight forward. His body is exactly where it’s supposed to be even if his brain is still skidding uselessly, trying to catch traction.
    There’s only a split second before the puck drops.
    It stretches.
    He lifts his eyes.
    Ilya.
    Young. So fucking young. Is he dreaming? Not worn by years of hockey, travel, interviews and losses and victories that stack so high they blur together. He’s young again; sharp boned, bright eyed, unable to grow a beard to save his life. Bears black and gold instead of Centaurs red. 'If I look down am I going to be pantsless too?' He thought absently, no way this was real... right?

    Summary

    In New York, Ilya is celebrating a victory against the Admirals by watching his secret boyfriend destroy the Pittsburgh Penguins on home ice on a hotel TV. He isn't prepared to witness Shane go down, hard, in a pool of blood.

    Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, Mel has agreed to a blind date in the hope that it will help her move on from her growing feelings towards the very-married Dr. Langdon, who has recently returned to the Pitt. When her date takes Mel to a hockey game, she doesn't think her night can get any worse - until one of the players has his neck cut open mere feet away from her.

    Mel doesn't hesitate to act. And over three hundred miles away, all Ilya can do is watch as Shane's life is held in a stranger's hands.

    Summary

    The prologue picks up mid-book 6, but rather than Brad posting the video to Twitter he sends it directly to the Montreal Metros. In this universe, Shane and Ilya are not outed to the world, but Shane is still kicked off the Metros team and transfers to Ottawa.

    This fic follows Shane and Ilyas first year as teammates, settling into their lives together after getting secretly married over the summer. In this timeline, Shane learns to heal from the wounds of being outed to his team, Shane and Ilya get to ease into being a full-time couple before being thrust into the spotlight, and they get to navigate coming out on their own terms.

    After a decade of the world being too hard on them, I just really wanted my favorite husbands to find a soft place to land. While the road is still long and difficult, this AU is all about putting them back in control of how they want the world to see them. It also gives so many more hilarious opportunities to watch other characters react to them coming out.
