    Summary

    2014: Ilya Rozanov shocks the world and breaks Shane Hollander’s heart by disappearing without explanation, and without a goodbye kiss.

    2024: A devastating injury forces Shane to retire early, so he moves to a small town to coach girls hockey and figure out what the hell to do with the rest of his life.

    When recently divorced Ilya Rozanov walks into the rink with his twin girls, Shane has to decide if he’s brave enough to risk a second chance on a broken heart, and a rekindled romance with the first and only boy he ever loved.

    ***

    “So.” Ilya cleared his throat. “Should we tell the girls their Daddy and their coach used to date?”

    “We didn’t date. We hooked up a few times, then you disappeared.” Shane looked away to hide his heartbreak as he lied, “It doesn’t even matter. It’s not like I loved you or anything.”

    “No, of course not.” Ilya tried to smile through a lie of his own, “I didn’t love you either.”

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is many things—a pain in Shane Hollander’s ass, hockey’s biggest playboy, a better chirper in his second language than most people are in their first, the only player who can challenge Shane for the title of “best of his generation.” But when Shane and Ilya get stuck next to each other on a long-delayed flight to the MLH Awards, Shane realizes something else about him: Ilya Rozanov is hot.

    ***

    Shane and Ilya never hooked up at the CCM shoot. Seven years later, they end up on the same flight from New York City to Las Vegas.

    Summary

    Rozanov: Is this where I hand in my boyfriend application? I have prepared CV, introduction video, letters of recommendation and photo of me in bed with Stanley Cup. With or without clothes, your choice ;)

    Lundin: We were supposed to prepare something? I can do that, no problem! How long do we have?

    Baldwin: I think he is making fun of the whole thing, can we throw him out?

    Rozanov: Is no joke, I have fileshare link ready to send.

    Hunter: He is definitely joking.

    Baldwin: What are you doing here? Aren’t you getting married?

    Hunter: My fiancé insisted.

    Hunter: He said, and I quote: “I never thought about adding a third but it’s Shane fucking Hollander, we would be dumb if we didn’t try."

    ___________

    The world stops when Scott Hunter kisses his boyfriend Kip on the ice after he wins the Stanley Cup in 2017.

    The world tilts fully off its axis when Shane Hollander comes out after his third cup win in 2018.

    What follows are a bunch of (drunk) Instagram comments, a Rose Landry shaped intervention, a brutal battle between NHL superstars and one precious price on the line: A date with THE Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    In room 1410, Ilya Rozanov is ready to walk out the door after successfully getting his 19 year old hockey rival into bed. He knew how to make this moment happen and he knows what they have to be to each other now that it's over. But as he turns the doorknob to leave, he's stopped with questions he never expected. And giving Shane Hollander what he needs in that moment will change everything.

    I note which chapters are SFW vs NFSW, because many of you said knowing meant the difference between reading this on your lunch break or having to wait. (Thank you for wanting to read my work that much.)

    Covers the first two years of their rookie seasons (which is mostly skipped over in the show/books). Canon divergent from the first hookup seen in HR s01ep01. Most things are from the show but the timeline is a mix of both; Hunter and Marleau are aged up per the show instead of as young as they are in the books. (Also, Shane and Ilya don't wait *two years*, they stick to the book timeline. IYKYK.)

    Please note this will the first in a series; you can subscribe to the whole series as well so you don't miss anything :)
