    Summary

    “Sleeping with your greatest enemy,” Ilya whispered against the side of Shane’s neck, nipping softly against the skin. “What would they think of you?”

    “You’re not my greatest enemy. My greatest rival obviously. But enemy? No. Not even close to the greatest.”

    “Who is it then?” Ilya huffed and Shane almost laughed at how offended Ilya seemed at losing to some unknown person.

    Without hesitation, Shane answered: “Jacqueline Louvier.”

    “Who is… who is Jacqueline Louvier?”

    “Hayden’s wife.”

    “Your greatest enemy is Jackie Pike?!?”

    Shane Hollander is a lycan who is exasperated by his best friend getting constantly knocked up. Ilya Rozanov is a vampire who has no idea that lycans have secondary sexes.

    Summary

    In late October, Ilya picks up some kind of freakish Canadian flu that dogs him into November.

    It is the weirdest shit. He has to duck out of practice because his nose starts bleeding twice in one week and he wakes up in a hotel in Columbus with another one that leaves stains on the pillow. On the flight back to Ottawa, Hazy drops into the seat next to Ilya midflight and asks, "This isn't, like, a cocaine thing, right?"

    Ilya laughs so hard it's probably a little rude.

    They have a plan. Ilya's body has a different plan.

    Summary

    In another timeline, Shane and Ilya hook up in Room 1410, Ilya slips out unnoticed, and they spend the next seven years trapped in the situationship from hell we all know and love.

    In this one, Yuna Hollander walks in just as Ilya goes to leave and—through the combined power of misunderstanding, miscommunication, and a frankly alarming lack of follow-up—Shane and Ilya start dating in 2010.

    Given the chance to grow up with rather than against each other, Shane and Ilya build a life thats steadier, safer, and far less frightening than their canon. Their rivalry fizzles before it ever has the chance to fully ignite, replaced by hockey’s most beloved “bromance", and in 2015, they find the courage to do the one thing their canon counterparts never got to do: tell the NHL and the world.

    There is just one problem: No one believes them.

     

    OR: Despite Shane and Ilya being out for two years, Scott Hunter is still considered the first openly gay player in the NHL, much to Ilya’s indignation.

    Summary

    Ten months after losing his mother, Ilya is sent across the ocean to a Canadian boarding school.

    He doesn’t know the language. He doesn’t know anyone. He doesn’t know when, or if, he’ll ever go back home.

    Fortunately for him, Shane Hollander is remarkably comfortable with silence.

    Summary

    “I turned the other cheek every fucking time. I still got tossed on my ass the second I went too far over the line, and threatened by the commissioner, and told to kill myself on just about every social media platform because my nightmare that I’d get outed came true. And you, after everything you did, got to come out to a supportive team and fans, get a slap on the wrist, and have your happy fucking ending.”

    Or:

    An exploration of Shane Hollander's struggle against racism and homophobia in hockey, and how others come to understand it
