Summary
"Once upon a time…
In a far away land, a young boy stood at his mother’s grave. He had her eyes, her blonde curls, her kind nature. Her ghost haunted his father through their son; and, even before her body was buried in its lonesome tomb, he resented the boy for it. The young boy did not know the crime he had committed against his father. One day, his mother and him had filled their home with delicate songs, and the next, she lay cold in her bed. Never to sing again. She’d left a note, addressed only to her sons.
‘Andrei, my boy. Ilya, my little bear. Please forgive me. Remain good and kind, and God will protect you.’"
Despite his father and brother turning him into a servant, Ilya Rozanov kept the promise he made to his mother all those years ago. He endured their cruelty for many years, until one rebellious night turns his fate completely upside down.
A Hollanov Cinderella AU!

Summary
Ilya thought he could do this alone: defect from Russia, raise his brother's child, play professional hockey, survive the hits that come every game from players paid to destroy his career. He chose the most secure building in the city and tried to be invisible.
He didn't count on Shane Hollander living next door. Or on his captain figuring out that the brutal checks aren't just hockey—they're targeted. Or on what it would feel like when someone finally insisted on keeping him safe.

"You're an awesome player to watch."
"I watch you too…I like watching you."
One line changes everything.

OR: Instead of turning him down, Ilya and Shane become fast friends at the Prospects Cup. Their relationship (and how they hide the truth) completely changes when the media poses them as best friends instead of rivals.

Reads as a series of connected oneshots within this AU. Now including prospects cup 2008, draft celebrations, rookie all-star weekend, their first MLH awards, and the cottage. -

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)
