    Summary

    “I think you are my best friend,” Ilya says softly.

    Shane feels a smile pull his lips. “I know you’re mine.”

    Ilya nods. “I think we should keep doing this. If you like.”

    or,

    across more than a decade, Shane and Ilya move from boys at an academy to men in the league, carrying with them a relationship built in quiet moments, fractured by circumstance, and defined by everything they cannot quite let go of.

    How Did It Even Happen? (It Was Hayden’s Fault) by

    Summary

    "Okay, right, I guess you don't know who I am," the voice says quickly, breathing unevenly. "I'm Hayden."

    “As in…” Troy blinks, trying to force his brain online, “the Voyager’s first-line left wing?”

    “Yes. As in exactly that.” Hayden says, probably a lot stressed because Troy can almost hear him pacing from the other line. “Do you know where the fuck Shane is?”

    Troy is obligated to bring his phone screen into his field of vision one more time just to make sure this is not some bizarre alcohol-induced hallucination.

    “What?” He asks, his voice sharpening, “Why on earth would I know where your captain is?”

    “Shit.” He says, “I meant Ilya.”

    OR: a (mostly) canon-compliant fic about how all the couples from Game Changers series reacted when they see the FanMail Hayden recorded to fucking Brad.

    The Pop-Girlification of Shane Hollander by

    Summary

    Shane stared back at the camera, giving it the flattest look possible, “Like Miss Carpenter, everyday, I too had to beg my man to ‘please don’t embarrass me, motherfucker’,”

    -

    Or, the 5 times Shane 'ASMR-Is-Music-Right?' Hollander was soft (and freaky) about his husband over the soundtrack of pop music.

    And the 1 time Ilya ‘Romance-Are-Not-For-Russians’ Rozanov was.

    Summary

    “Oh my god, oh my god. Seriously, this is the best. I can’t believe you’re my neighbour. I’m calling it now, Hollander. This right here is the beginning of a friendship that will go down in history.”

    Ilya is 10 years old when his family moves from Jacksonville, Florida to small town Ontario. There, he forms an unexpected friendship with Shane, the boy living on the ginseng farm across the street.

    As they grow up and grow apart, their paths continue to cross at high school hockey games, in tabloid articles, and at one particular intimate Muskoka cottage.

    OR: A childhood friends to strangers to lovers AU in which Shane Hollander (up and coming indie rock star) and Ilya Rozanov (brooding artist) take nearly fifteen years to figure their shit out.

    Summary

    “Is my favourite thing.” Ilya murmurs.

    The rain has started to slow down a little. Barely any lightning strikes anymore. Soon, the sky will clear.

    “What is?” Shane asks.

    Ilya brings their joined hands up to his face and presses a small, tired smile to the back of Shane’s hand. “You and me.”

    —

    (or: they’re best friends who go on a roadtrip together.)
