    Summary

    Ilya knows there is a thing about himself he has to always keep hidden in the deepest recesses of his body, behind his molars and in his core. He thinks Shane Hollander might be the same, except the thing about him he cannot hide.

    Ilya Rozanov is the biggest hockey talent of his generation. So is Shane Hollander.

    But over the years Ilya notices that the vicious media and the clamouring fans and some of his more foul-mouthed teammates treat Hollander differently than any other hockey player.

    Summary

    Were we to live as Romans
    I would be the sculptor,
    you the model—
    who drapes his sinful limbs
    in repose,
    a body from which
    I’d carve
    an image of Adonis—

    A poem from Shane's POV about his long-distance, long-suffering situationship with Ilya Rozanov.

    Summary

    There are a handful of things that Shane Hollander understands intrinsically about the world:

    1) Inside is safe, and the only place that can sustain life.
    2) Outside is an uninhabitable wasteland.
    3a) Ilya Rozanov is a figment of his imagination, and,
    3b) a very, very good lay.

    Ever since he hit the tail end of puberty, Shane has been indulging in sex with a man his subconscious mind invented named Ilya Rozanov. They meet every few months, fuck like animals, and Shane wakes up relaxed and looking forward to their next meeting. In his pursuit to become a Doctor of Magic, Shane has concocted a thesis which would explain how he's made up a man so perfectly attuned to his sexual desires in his own head- despite all evidence to the contrary, he believes that magic can be performed in dreams, and Ilya is the perfect evidence of that fact.

    Too bad Ilya Rozanov and the Board of Doctors has other plans.

    An AU in which Shane comes from a world where magic is prevalent and gives purpose to his otherwise boring life- until it doesn't.

    Summary

    Shane is stooped over to strap on his shin guards when his phone buzzes once in Hayden’s hand.

    He doesn’t mean to tap the notification.

    And oh god, does he wish he could un-tap the fucking notification.

    Because why the fuck has Lily, Shane’s mysterious Boston hook-up of several years (no matter how fervently he denies it), sent him a picture of a fucking sonogram.

    Black and white, blurry, and undeniably baby-shaped.

    Ilya makes a joke, Hayden breaks Shane’s phone, and a comedy of errors ensues.

    Summary

    "What's happening?" asks the lone Raiders fan that Shane has found himself next to, a young woman with St. Simone on the back of her black and gold jersey.

    Her friend, a handsome woman in Metros' blues, explains, "Une malédiction. A curse." Her Québécois accent lifts the ends of her sentences into a lilting melody.

    "Oh." The Raiders fan frowns, concerned. "Does someone have it out for Hollander? Shouldn't sporting arenas be protected against that?"

    Her friend laughs. "It's Centre Bell itself who has it out for Hollander. You've never heard the story about the TD Garden trying to eat Magic Johnson?"

    Or; The Bell Centre carries a hundred years of hockey and all of its grudges. Ilya must traverse its depths to save Shane.
