    Operation O Canada, or The Hollander-Rozanov Method of Soft Launching a Marriage by

    Summary

    “Can’t hang out tonight, Hayd. I have plans.”

    “Bullshit,” Hayden responds. “You never have plans.”

    Objectively, this used to be true. Nowadays Shane has many, many plans, between his nightly plans to look at Ilya’s penis through Skype and his various long-term plans laid out helpfully in his notebook, Canva (For Ilya’s sake. He is a visual learner), and more recently, Excel. Shane loves that excel sheet. He’s colour coded it.

     

    In 2017, Shane Hollander spirals and proposes to his boyfriend of 4 days (or 7 years, or 9 years, or not his boyfriend at all, depending on how you look at it), which leads to a lot of plans, weird theories in the Montreal Voyageur locker room, some Twitter drama, and Ilya Rozanov entering his WAG era.

    The Fic Writer's Guide to Life as a Pro Hockey Player by

    Summary

    I’ve been watching and reading about hockey for about 15 years, and when Heated Rivalry took off, I decided to put my mountain of saved links to good use. This guide is intended to give information about life as a professional hockey player, designed for fic writers who want to get the logistics right, from what Shane and Ilya's calendars look like to what their contracts say, and add realistic color to their Heated Rivalry or Hockey RPF fics.

    This is not a "Hockey 101" for the game itself, as there are many other sources for that.

    Contains some minor spoilers for The Long Game, but none for the major plot developments. I use "NHL" throughout, following Rachel's usage in the books.

    [picture] The middle of the Ottawa-Buffalo game. In front of a net, Ilya Rozanov is on one knee on the ice, flanked by two Buffalo players, stick outstretched toward Shane Hollander who has the puck on his stick.

    CENS WIN

    OTT 5 FINAL 1 BUF

    [video, 15 seconds]

    The post-game press line, Ilya Rozanov sweaty and shirtless, a mic held in front of his face.

    ESPN reporter: Ilya, what an amazing assist in the second period power play. You were literally swiveling on one knee avoiding two defensemen, and sliding the puck to Hollander to score.

    Rozanov (grinning): Well, sometimes you have to go down on one knee for your man, you know.

    [Caption] Married life #Cens style: scoring goals with your husband!

     

    Or: During Shane's first season in Ottawa, Ilya keeps breaking the internet with his interviews and shenanigans. The internet, predictably, keeps losing its shit.

    Summary

    “They need to return to a conference based system,” Svetlana said, slamming her hand against the table. “It was fucking fine the way it was, why are we handing out participation trophies to shitty divisions?”

    Ilya raised his eyebrows from where he hovered in the kitchen, cracking open another Red Bull.

    “This is fun,” he said, deadpanned. “You guys should start a podcast or something. I would not listen, you are both terribly boring.”

    * * *

    Or, after an injury on the ice forces Shane into an early retirement, he and Svetlana start a podcast.

    Summary

    "I'll give you a celebrity pass for Tessa Virtue but not Shane Hollander."
    "I wouldn't dream of it," Jackie says. "Not without you."
    Hayden's eyes briefly bug out of his head.
    "I'm just saying, babe, if you ever want to organise me a hot hockey player threesome, you can start with Shane Hollander. No questions asked."
    "Shane would die of embarrassment."
