he turns off the big light by gurlsrool

Summary
Ilya knows firsthand that the world isn’t comfortable. It’s loud, bright, demanding, a harsh place in direct opposition to everything he’s recently learned about autism.
Is it so wrong that he wants Shane to feel safe here? To carve out a space where, even if only for a few hours, he doesn’t have to grin and bear anything? He can just be?
Or: Ilya Rozanov has a lot of good ideas. Telling his fuck buddy that he should consider getting an autism diagnosis isn’t one of them.

Summary
Ilya had never really let himself picture it before. Not for too long, anyway. Himself at twelve, standing in that doorway, seeing her lifeless body on the bed.
He didn’t have any photographs of himself from that age, which made it easier to keep the memory at a distance. Just a fact. Something that happened to a version of himself he barely remembered being.
Niko turning twelve closed that distance.
Ilya is going through a depressive episode. Which is hitting differently now that his son is the same age he was when his mom died.

frequently, secretly fond of each other. by milominderbinder

Summary
Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”
“Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.
He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.
A year after mysteriously dropping out of the 2009 draft, Shane Hollander is signed by the Boston Raiders, right behind Ilya Rozanov. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston — but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.

Summary
This is my little playground where I smash HR characters together to make them communicate better. Sometimes, it even works.
Fair warning: My definition of "dude" is very broad.
Each work CAN technically be read as a standalone. But they're built on each other, so you might have more fun if you read them in order.

“I feel really good about this kid, I think he could be great on your wing, he just needs some help settling in. Someone to show him the ropes.”
“Yes.”
The line went silent for a moment. Ilya wasn’t really sure why his coach felt the need to run this by him.
“Rozanov,” his coach said at last. “I want him to live with you.”
Ilya blinked, then nearly shouted into the phone. “What?”

Summary
Shane Hollander lands his breakout role opposite Ilya Rozanov in a buzzy rivals-to-lovers adaptation. Their on-screen chemistry is electric & their off-screen “practice” is supposed to be no strings attached. When the show airs, the internet starts paying attention & all the lines start to blur.
Or…what if Shane & Ilya were actors who met on the set of a TV show, have to deal with fame & semi-unhinged fandom, and are still idiots falling in love.
——————————————————
“Can I ask you something?” Ilya said.
Shane’s stomach flipped. “Okay.”
Ilya hesitated, then said, “Have you ever been with a man?”
…
“But,” Ilya added, studying him, “I know you, Shane Hollander.”
“You do?”
“You want it to be perfect,” Ilya said simply. “You want to be the best one in the room. Every time.”
…
“For authenticity,” Shane said, clinging to the word.
Ilya’s mouth curved. “Exactly,” he said. “If that helps.”
...
“I’m not saying you need to,” Ilya added. Then the smirk slipped back in to place. “But if you ever decide you want to...I’m here and willing.”- Language:

Summary
Shane cups her cheek in his hand, running his thumb over the plush of her bottom lip. She looks at him through her fawnish lashes. He roves his eyes over her body. Her shoulders and biceps, her abs… She's so strong, so…
Incredible.
"I've never done that before," he admits, "Not with... with a woman, at least."
"Right, well," she rolls her eyes, "Would probably be better with a real man, yes?"
He shakes his head, "No. It wouldn't have been the same at all."

Summary
Shane Hollander is a man who thrives on structure, routine, the solid ground of a ten-year plan. Ilya likes that about him, likes the embracing squeeze of having a life organized in tandem with Shane.
No one would call Ilya a man who thrives on structure. But it’s there, if not in his DNA then in the patterns of his brain. A call-and-response of: they do this, I do that.
When Ilya’s life is flayed open for the world to dissect, how will they push-and-pull their way back towards what was once a well-organized life?
“I thought we could go through the schedules and figure out what days we’ll be in the same cities this season, or when either of us have a couple of days off in a row. Maybe make a shared calendar, so we c—”
“A sex calendar? Your parents are arriving in thirty minutes, and you are proposing making a sex calendar?” Oh, this was delicious. He’d be able to eat out on this for years, if Shane was willing to give him that long.
“It’s not a sex calendar! It’s just … when we might be able to see each other,” he finished, already sounding defeated.
“And what are you planning on doing when we are seeing each other? Not fucking?”
