Summary
Ilya Rozanov has been drafted by Boston, the number one pick overall, but his father doesn't want him moving to America and so takes steps to block his visa. He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong.
It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it. Even though that something is the most reckless, the only reckless thing he's ever done in his life. He marries Rozanov in secret, to keep him out of Russia and put him on a path to Canadian citizenship.
Shane's got a five-year plan to get him there and when you have a plan nothing can go wrong. Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's.
Right???
(or, the story of how Shane Hollander fell in love with his own husband)

Summary
When he was seven years old, Shane Hollander was briefly lost at an airport. Luckily, the kindness of a stranger ensured he made it back to his parents safely, putting an end to a terrifying three hours for the Hollanders. It takes twenty years (and one heated rivalry) for Shane to learn the name of his rescuer. It takes twenty years for Ilya to learn his wish had already come true.

Summary
“Holy shit, Ilya! Can you belie-”
“I’m coming to the cottage.”
Shane’s heart stops beating. Everything goes blank. “Shane?”
Shane realizes he hasn’t said anything for an awkwardly long period of time. He clears his throat and tries to remember any words in any language. “When?”
“When do you want me?” Ilya’s voice is soft and rumbly, hesitant in a way that Shane isn’t used to hearing from the usually confident alpha. Shane can’t believe his ears.
Always, his traitorous mind supplies. I want you always. “Next week?” he says instead. He’d planned to have his heat in July, but with a ticking doomsday clock looming over Shane, he’s not sure he can wait that long. Even if it means telling Ilya the truth. Even if it means Ilya leaves him for good. All he knows is he needs to see Ilya as soon as possible, hold him in his arms and fill his lungs with his scent.
Ilya releases a breath. “Okay. Next week.”
aka Shane is accidentally pregnant and decides to get an abortion while he and Ilya are at the cottage, but first he needs to *tell* Ilya.

Summary
“Does the Dominus enjoy serving a slave?” Ilya murmured.
Shane looked up at him through dark lashes. His mouth was a hairsbreadth away from Ilya’s cock, and Ilya could see the exact moment the last of his composure burned out, shedding, the way a snake left its old skin behind, eyes bright and body underneath already new—
—and instead of answering, Shane licked a stripe up the underside of his shaft, root to tip.
The law calls Ilya a slave. The mob of Rome calls him their lion, their Gladiator. Senator’s son Shane calls him to his bed.
Now Shane wants to call him free, but that means owning him first.

Summary
“Shane?” Hayden’s voice filtered through the door. “You alive in there?”
Shane grabbed Ilya by the wrist. “We have to hide you.”
Ilya laughed. “Hide me? Where?”
Shane’s eyes darted around his apartment. That left… the closet.
“No,” Ilya said, reading Shane’s desperate gaze. “I am athlete. Have standards.”
Ilya’s protest was cut off as he stumbled backward into a dark jungle of coats and boots. Shane shut the door.
In which Hayden shows up early to talk game strategy, Shane lies about owning a cat, and Ilya refuses to commit to the bit.
Things only go downhill from there.

The woman had her hair tucked under a knit hat, and her eyes were actually kind.

Eight-year-old Shane goes to a hockey camp in Moscow, becomes a victim to language barrier, and gets rescued by a woman who gives him her scarf and tells him snow angels are real.
Eighteen years later, Ilya finds out his mother had already met the love of his life.

Summary
Cliff: You want me too break your nose?! (Ilya is on a sex ban and would do anything to get out of it. Anything.)
Yuna: She can't stop herself from peaking, to make sure Ilya can calm Shane down - she see's something else. (Shane has a meltdown and Ilya calms him down through the power of a biting kink)
Scott/Kip: What do you mean i remind you of your brother? What do you mean you don't know your a bottom? (Ilya and Scott finally talk and become friends. Shane and Kip are talking about sex. Kip introduces the concept of BDSM. Kip has regrets.)
Hayden: First he fails at convincing Shane to become his third, then walks in on him getting his back blown out, then Shane gets kidnapped. Oh no.
Svetlana: Plane crash rewrite - somehow this leads to Svetlana following Shane up a mountain in hopeless rescue attempt
Ilya: My dick too big and my bitch too hot (Shane is in SubSpace then the hotel fire alarm goes off, the team finds out something new)
Luca: what’s a BDSM relationship? (Luca sees some stuff that sets of an internal alarm)
Or a collection of one shots of people clocking how unhinged Ilya and Shane are for each other, somehow this is a perfect relationship.

Summary
"Do you want children?"
It should have been a simple question, a yes or no answer, and Shane knew that Ilya wanted children, because he did, too. they talked about it before they got married and briefly after they got married. But as their heat and rut approaches, something they have never shared before, Shane wonders if it might be time to talk about the next part of their relationship. But when Shane gets an answer he's not expecting, he starts going down a rabbit hole to confirm that this is actually what he wants.
Occurs after the Long Game. Canon divergence and is set in Omegaverse. Mix of TV and book elements.
(On a brief hiatus. Thank you for your patience.)

Summary
Ilya Rozanov's life takes an unexpected turn when a deadly plane crash in 2021 takes his life, right after a fight with his long-time partner, Shane Hollander. Though instead of the afterlife, Ilya is sent back to December 2008, just before his NHL career began, on the very day that he first met Shane. He finds himself in a familiar world, with knowledge of both the future and knowledge of the man he loves and the friends he holds dear.
As Ilya navigates this new reality, he rebuilds his relationship with Shane, who is still finding his path in both hockey and his identity as a gay man. With their rivalry blossoming into a different experience than the one Ilya experienced the first time around, the two face challenges around acceptance, family pressures, and the struggles of being openly gay and lovers in the sports world. Throughout their journey, Ilya contemplates his first life, cherishes the present, and strives to alter the course of their futures (and the futures of their friends) for the better.
Or, Ilya Rozanov discovers first hand what the butterfly effect is, and how it can drastically alter the future.

Summary
Someone's killing powerful Alphas in the Boston underworld in strange and untraceable ways, and it's giving Ilya, next head of the Rozanov family, a fucking headache.
On a different note, Shane - only son of the Hollander family, lowly Omega and known airhead - has just shown up on his doorstep, smelling of pre-heat and looking good enough to eat.
There's no way those two things are related, right?

Love in the Dark by azraelriego

Summary
Shane Hollander always had a strategy. He had a strategy for winning the Cup, a strategy for managing the press, and a strategy for keeping his relationship with his rival-turned-boyfriend, Ilya Rozanov, strictly in the dark. He really was good at managing it all… Right up until the moment a medical impossibility turned into a positive pregnancy test, and the only man Shane ever loved asked him to do the one thing he couldn’t: tell the truth.
Five years post-breakup, Shane is technically winning. He has the trophies, the privacy, and their brilliant daughter, Airi. And he is perfectly co-parenting with his ex, Ilya Rozanov. The rules are simple: minimal contact, polite text messages about their daughter, and absolutely no acknowledging about their past.
Until Yuna Hollander decides to intervene. Suddenly, the ocean Shane put between them is gone. Shane’s new strategy is simple: survive seven days with Ilya without falling apart.

Summary
Team Canada is undefeated, the Olympic Village is buzzing, and Shane Hollander just wants to focus on hockey.
Unfortunately, his husband has discovered capitalism for himself.
When the Olympic Committee announces a condom shortage across the Village, Shane assumes it’s just another chaotic headline in an already surreal tournament. What he does not expect is to discover that Ilya Rozanov has been quietly selling their unused “complimentary health supplies” to stressed-out rookies and possibly half the international athletes...for five euros each.
+ additional drawing!
