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
Luca hadn’t been sure he would go through with the plan. He’d talked himself into it and out of it about fifty times.
But he's made it this far. He's sitting with Shane Hollander, just the two of them. Now all he needs to do it open his mouth and—
“Look,” Shane is saying, “if you wanted to talk through coming out, I th—”
“I can’t figure out anal sex,” Luca blurts.

Summary
"I like your thighs," Shane sighs, turning his head to kiss the skin. "They're sexy."
"You should fuck them," Ilya says, his voice thick with a smile that Shane doesn't have to look up to see.In which Ilya wants something, but it takes a little bit of work to convince Shane he wants it, too. A meditation on the way things are better when you want to be there.

Summary
Meet Ilya Hollander-Rozanov, BSc, MSc in Economics, PhD Socioeconomics.
It's a common thing for pro athletes in russia to get at least "fictional" higher education - players are attached to some governmental university and get a diploma without actually studying. but given Rozanov is from military family his father wouldn't allow him just to buy his diploma. Then during their relationships Ilya missed Shane in Ottawa so much, that he decided that he could use spare time to get his PhD.
Shane Hollander finds it out by accident. And realizes this, maybe - probably, makes him very horny.
And the world is just cracks around the news.- Words:

Summary
Scent patches were mandatory for anyone participating in World Junior's, but a lot of the Russian guys Shane saw in the hotel or around the rink had them loosely attached to their necks or not quite centered over their scent gland. Shane had been on his way to his parents' car when the wind shifted, and he smelled that Rozanov, leaning against the wall and not-at-all-surreptitiously fishing a carton of cigarettes out of his pocket, must have been one of them.
