Summary
They were only supposed to be hooking up. That’s what it was supposed to be. They were never supposed to become anything real.
Falling in love with Shane Hollander had never been part of the plan.
So he ends it.
Months later, during a heated game, one explosive check from Ilya sends Shane crashing to the ice and fighting for his life. As Shane lies on the edge of survival, Ilya is swallowed by guilt, terror, and the crushing realization that he walked away from the one person he can’t imagine losing, and that he might be too late to make it right.

Tags
Summary
Shane Hollander wants to date Rose. But he is 18 and has never even kissed a girl.
Rose thinks he should practice first. She practices with her best friend, Daisy.Shane wants to be a good boyfriend
Which means learning to kiss.
Which means practice.
Which means asking the person he trusts most.
Ilya Rozanov has never said no to him before. He doesn’t start now.It’s practical.
It’s actually smart.They already spend all their time together.
They already share a bed.
It’s just practice.
Even if it happens every night.
Even if it keeps.. escalating.As Shane and Rose continue their relationship, it makes sense to practice each step.
With people they trust.
(Even if those people don’t have the correct body parts for it to make sense.)This is normal.
They are absolutely not gay.
This is just practice.
Ilya is exactly where he wants to be.Or:
Shane Hollander practices kissing with his childhood best friend to be a better boyfriend.
It works so well that they keep practicing.
Every new step.
Every base.
Shane and Rose think this is a normal system.
Ilya and Daisy do not correct them.Bookmarked by likeafreefall

“I need your help.”
Ilya peers up again and raises an eyebrow. He pauses the video he was watching. “With?”
Shane fidgets. “I, uh… I can’t– I mean, I can but I’m not very good– Fuck, listen, just– Ineedyoutohelpmewithsex.”
A pause. A long pause. Ilya blinks a couple of times, mouth twitching at the corners. Then,
“You need me to teach you how to fuck your girl, Hollander?”
Shane needs help satisfying his girlfriend, Jessica. He turns to his roommate, Ilya, for help.

Shane can’t–fuck–he can’t think, can’t move, can’t do anything but stare at this photo of Ilya, of Ilya in panties: little black lace panties hidden beneath his lounge clothes, just for Shane to know about, to see.
Ilya wears a pair of panties. Shane humps a pillow about it.

Summary
Shane was twelve when hockey scouts started showing up to his games. He was barely fifteen when a check went horribly wrong, fucked his knee to hell and gave him a grade III concussion.

He’s 24 and working for his mom’s sports PR company when he meets Ilya Fucking Rozanov.
May contain: Shane Hollander navigating what it means to be mostly normal when your whole childhood was about preparing you for greatness. Shane Hollander attempting to flirt. Possibly less than 100% accurate descriptions of what a sports PR agent does.

Summary
Hayden Pike and his group chat of coworkers are pretty sure their new manager Shane has a parasocial obsession with a professional hockey player.
He talks about him constantly, knows everything about him, watches every game, and even has candid photos of him that are definitely not available through conventional sources. So naturally, they decide to intervene to find him a man who actually knows he exists.
Shane, for his part, has no idea what they're talking about.

Totally Real Canadian Boyfriend™️ by hermacology
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
23 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
Ilya Rozanov, captain of the Boston Raiders, has a boyfriend. A definitely real, suspiciously (and boringly) handsome, conveniently offline, consistently unable to meet up in real life boyfriend.
Who lives in Canada.
Unfortunately for him, absolutely no one believes him.
The more serious Ilya gets about his Totally Real Canadian Boyfriend™️, the more concerned his teammates become that someone either needs to call MTV and get him on the next episode of Catfish or that he's slowly losing his mind.
Shane Hollander is, fortunately, very real, very sarcastic, and increasingly delighted that an entire NHL locker room seems to think that he's a government psyop to distract Ilya from his game.

The Rozanov Rose: No Feelings, No Exceptions. 🌹❤️🌹 by DjingisAttila
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types, Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
16 Jun 2026

Summary
🌹"No questions. No feelings. Just because we want to."🌹
Shane Hollander is a PhD student who knows how to stay invisible.
Ilya Rozanov is Montreal’s most arrogant hockey star—brilliant, reckless, and incapable of following rules he didn't make himself.It should be easy to walk away.
Instead, it becomes something quiet and hidden—late nights, closed doors, and a version of Ilya no one else gets to see. Shane carries his secrets inked beneath the roses winding across his skin, a constant reminder that some things survive only as long as they remain sub rosa.
Ilya doesn’t do feelings.
Shane was never meant for something like this.But he stays. And he falls anyway, caught between stolen moments and borrowed time.
And when it finally falls apart, Ilya might realize too late what it means when there’s nothing left to hold onto—and that this time, love might not be enough to bring Shane back.
(fake dating • secrecy • loving someone who was never going to choose you • happy ending, I promise 💔➡️❤️ • 🔥🔥🔥)

Summary
Ilya had dismissed the feeling out of hand, except he has now just spent half an hour in the bicycle shop considering the difference between 190 gsm and 250 gsm merino wool and which would best keep Shane warm while wicking sweat during his morning commutes.
This is yet another thing Ilya has never done before. The only person whose sweat he has ever contemplated the wicking of has been himself.

Summary
What would have happened in *Wolfbird* starting from Chapter 14 if I had written it.
OR
God, why now? Ilya sat on the floor, a broken toy, his crutches leaning against the wall, an exhausted dog lying on his leg, and he had absolutely no emotional strength left to answer Hollander. Because his chest had been cut open, and inside it beat his heart, drenched in blood and laid bare for all to see. If he started to reply, he would write something foolish, something too candid or too tender or too bitter - most likely, all of those things at once. And then Hollander would have to deal with a human wreck and an avalanche of his - Ilya’s, not Rozanov’s - feelings. And Hollander would be kind and understanding, would pity him, and it would be unbearable.

Summary
“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?”
* * *
or, Ilya stays in Boston, gets a rookie, and tries to figure out how to make a secret long distance relationship work while there's a Russian teenager in his house

Summary
Ilya opened one of his messages.
Have you seen the news?
Ilya, call me. Now.
Please tell me you already fucking know.
Jesus Christ, man.That was it. No context. No explanation. Just panic wrapped in vague bullshit.
His jaw locked. “Are you fucking serious right now,” he muttered, thumb scrolling harder than necessary. Say it or don’t, you assholes. The half-answers made his skin crawl. It felt like they were all circling something awful, whispering around it, waiting for him to step close enough to get hit.
His chest felt tight now, pressure building, so he did the one thing that made sense. He opened social media.
Shane Hollander’s name was everywhere.
Or
Shane was hurt in ways everyone could see, and in ways only Ilya would carry.

Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
12 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
“Hello Centaurs Nation,” the bright and bubbly voice of Ilya Rozanov spills out from the phone speaker, “I am Ilya Rozanov and I am very excited to join team for upcoming season!” He pauses, wielding his trademark wide, slightly lopsided grin like a media trained superweapon. “Today is only my second day on team, but day three of Centaurs Development Camp. As you know, Ottawa got second overall pick. Is very exciting, I have been watching all the Luca Haas clips. He will be something special, I know this.” There's a quiet jingle of car keys. He’d shot the video with his phone propped against the steering wheel of what appeared to be a Land Rover, and the video comes to a close as he turns over the ignition. “Anyway, I have places to be, so I will be seeing you all very soon. Bye-bye!” He offers a jaunty salute before his face smooths out and he focuses on finding the little button to end the recording.
(Alternatively: Ilya Rozanov signs with the Ottawa Centaurs on July 1, 2018. It is, to some degree, a reckoning.)

Shane Hollander's Guide to Winning Free Agency by DistantStorm

Summary
Shane Hollander is a UFA on July 1, 2019 at 12pm Eastern. An Unrestricted Free Agent, or UFA for short, is a player of a certain tenure whose contract has ended and can sign with any team of their choosing. If it were anyone else, a player walking to his UFA day would strike fear into the fans and managers hearts. They could lose a player for nothing.
On the morning of July 1, 2019, with Shane Hollander set to test free agency, the Montreal Metros and their fanbase aren't worried. It's well documented that Shane Hollander has always held out for the best deal, and being a free agent is his leverage. Everyone knows that he’ll sign another deal with the Metros.
But maybe everyone is wrong.
(Alternatively: the one where Shane Hollander finds out ahead of schedule that Ilya Rozanov is lonely.)

Summary
“Hollander,” Ilya murmured gently. “Bath is ready.”
Shane cracked his eyes open, staring dumbly at the burly Russian hovering over him where he was still laying in bed.
“…bath?” He croaked, voice raspy with disuse.
“Mm. I ran you a bath. It will make you feel better before you go to sleep tonight. Will help with your sore muscles.”
Shane asks Ilya to fuck him gently during one of their regular hookups, badly bruised from their game. Ilya runs him a bath afterwards, and they fall secretly and desperately in love that way, through whispered confessions and late night conversations while Shane soaks, and Ilya quietly observes him.
