The Distance Between Us by Bruja_oscura

Summary
Ilya Rozanov has spent ten years circling Shane Hollander. Ten years of hotel rooms and secret phone calls. Ten years of pretending he doesn't feel it, doesn't need it, doesn't wake up reaching for someone who's already gone. Ten years convincing himself he's not good enough. That he's not worth it.
Then a plane needs to make an emergency landing near Montreal, and Yuna Hollander is on it.
So when Shane calls him from a bathroom floor, unable to breathe, Ilya stops pretending.
After five hundred miles of frozen highway, three and a half hours of driving like a man possessed, a hospital waiting room full of people who have every reason to hate him, and a boy who looks at him like he's something worth keeping, Ilya may have learned a thing or two about what it means to be loved—and to let himself love freely.

Jane is Ilya's Favourite Lay by That_bitch_without_a_life

Summary
Shane does not know what he is staring at when he reads the name of the chat and the influx of texts.
This looks like actual hell, and more importantly why on earth would Ilya ad him to the Boston WAGS chat?
TLDR: In an attempt to socialise in this new country Ilya puts 'jane' down as his WAG to connect to the team, this has unforeseen consequences for himself.

Shane Hollander is a Slut by misplacedmetaphor
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, NHL Hockey Setting

Summary
Shane Hollander comes out before opening night and unleashes Shane Hollander Hysteria across the NHL.
All-Stars circle like it’s free agency and he’s the only contract available.
His DMs combust. Rival captains get bold. Hotel rooms get interesting. The league gets possessive.
The Metros couldn’t care less because Shane keeps dominating on the ice while getting fucked in every time zone.
It becomes the worst-kept secret in professional hockey: everyone wants their turn.
Ilya Rozanov is handling this very normally.Or:
Shane Hollander comes out and discovers that freedom can look like a lot of things.
Sometimes it looks like sex in every time zone.
Sometimes it looks like queer community forming around him across the league and far beyond it.
Sometimes it looks like becoming the most confident version of himself he has ever been.
And somewhere in the middle of all of it, one rival captain starts realizing he may have made a catastrophic mistake.
Unfortunately for him, Shane Hollander is having a great time.- Language:

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Summary
Twelve years after filming their first CCM ad together, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are asked to return for a follow-up campaign. The offer sparks reflection and conversation about privacy, visibility, and what it means to exist openly as a married couple in the NHL.
---
“Okay,” Farah said, brightly. “So. CCM reached out.”
Shane straightened instinctively. He and Ilya were both sponsored by CCM, they had been for years. Would CCM pull their sponsorships now that they were publicly out? Would they only want to keep working with one of them now that they were married and would be playing on the Centaurs together this season?
“They want you two for a new ad campaign,” she continued, eyes sparkling. “A twelve-year retrospective referencing the one you shot together the summer before your rookie year.”

Summary
Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.
It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.

Summary
"Why are you not scared?"
"I am scared," Ilya admits. "I just am tired. Of hiding me. Of hiding you. Of hiding how much I love you. I want to go to the rink— how do you say it? Authenti."
"Authentically," Shane supplies, automatically.
"Yes. Authentically. I want to go to the rink authentically, as me," Ilya confirms.
Ilya looks at Shane, pauses until Shane meets his eyes. "I want to say: I, Ilya Rozanov, love a man, and that man's name is Shane Hollander."

Or, sometimes it takes a little more time, and some courage, to be with the one you love.

Less Dead Than You’d Think by akahomie

Summary
Newly turned vampire Shane Hollander is determined not to be a monster or let his new status stop him in any way from his dream of becoming an NHL star. He stubbornly keeps a diurnal schedule, only drinks animal blood, and never so much as bares his fangs in polite company.
His careful rhythm is disrupted when natural born vampire Ilya Rozanov waltzes into his life. Ilya is his opposite in every way: no sleep schedule to speak of, freely mixes matters of blood and sex, and grins with his fangs when he’s particularly pleased.
All this should repulse Shane, of course, not make him so desperate it’s as if some part of him has been waiting his whole life to surrender to the uncontrollable attraction.

Summary
"You're supposed to smoke over there." Someone said from behind Ilya.
Ilya almost dropped his cigarette. His English was shitty, but he had studied that sentence enough times over the years to understand it immediately. He didn't even think about his words much anymore, but it was impossible to avoid them.
He turned instinctively, and was face to face with Shane fucking Hollander.
Out of almost seven billion people, of course Ilya's soulmate had to be his fated rival. It was almost poetic. Still, Ilya had enough sense to realize just how bad this was.
or, Shane says Ilya's soulmate words. Ilya vows to never speak a word to him to keep him from finding out. They fall in love anyway.

"Honey, it seems like you've got a soul mark."
"A soul mark?" said Shane, unsure of whether to be relieved or horrified. "I thought those were supposed to be crazy rare."
"Visible ones are," said his dad, exchanging a glance with his mom. She gave him an almost imperceptible nod and he continued. "Everyone has them, but only a few people can ever see them. They're like those… what do you call them…?"
"Blaschko lines," his mom supplied. "Like dad says, they're usually invisible, but some people have a genetic condition where you can see them."
Or: what happens when your mysterious new soul mark starts looking an awful lot like the tattoo on your arch enemy's chest?
