    Summary

    Hollander rolled his eyes. “Just friendly advice. You know, if you want everyone to keep comparing us.”

    “No,” Ilya replied sombrely, as he reached the gate. “Your goal — very ugly. I make only pretty goals.”

    There was an outraged noise behind him, but Ilya was already turning away, knowing he was never going to find a better parting shot in English than that.

    Ilya could see exactly why other players were so frustrated when going up against Shane Hollander, and how much his comments might sting when directed at someone who was already on the back foot. But he was left with the distinct impression of a colourful little bird, darting about where he believed he was just out of reach, and Ilya wanted more than anything to catch him.


    According to the rest of the league, Shane Hollander was an asshole, but Ilya thought he was kind of hilarious. Plus, there were all the freckles.

    Summary

    When Shane Hollander was 15, he came out as gay to his mother in the passenger seat of her car, on his way home from hockey camp. And so, in true Hollander fashion, they made a plan. Shane would stay firmly in the closet, not because he was ashamed, but because he loved hockey more than he loved anything else in his life. It was a sacrifice, sure, but it was one he was wholeheartedly willing to make. And then, when he decided to retire, he could think about coming out. It was simple.
    It was the plan.
    It was the only plan that would work, and Shane would do anything to keep it on track.
    Enter: Ilya Rozanov

    Or: What would have happened if Shane had gone into his hockey career knowing he was gay? How would his relationship with Ilya play out if he didn't have to keep denying something fundamental about himself? How would his friendships change? How would his relationship with his parents, with his team, with hockey be different without the constant weight of repression?

    Summary

    Today's news: Shane Hollander has been placed on waivers by the Montreal Metros following a shocking revelation earlier this week…

    or: Shane goes to Ottawa earlier. Too bad he's no longer dating the captain.

    Summary

    Some people wanted a fic based on this tweet of my #DontYouDareFuckingFreeMe fic:

    Josh @mtrlfan703

    I’ll be honest and admit that if those two had made out on the ice before this, I would have assumed they had lost a bet.

    JayJason @Youdon’tknowme

    ‘Losing a bet’ would have let them get away with so much, though… Like why are you at your rival's game? I lost a bet. Why are you wearing your rival's jersey? I lost a bet. Why are you hanging out together? I lost a bet. Why are you making him breakfast in bed? I lost a bet. 

    Josh @mtrlfan703

    Hell, I’d have believed it if they said they got drunk and their teammates dared them to get married in Vegas.

    JayJason @Youdon’tknowme

    ‘First one to annul the marriage loses’ and no one is surprised when they end up sharing a tombstone…

    So I decided to try and write it.

    Summary

    The next pop was almost deafening in the aftermath. The energy in the stadium shifted in an instant. The screaming turned terrified.

    Those were shots, Shane realized, a second too late.

    "Get off the ice!" someone yelled.

    All hell broke loose.

    Or:

    April 2017
    Marlow's hit doesn't knock Shane out. But then shots are fired in the arena and suddenly everything changes. After all, it's difficult to hang onto secrets with death looming over their heads.
