    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is straight.
    Right?
    Well, maybe not. The boner he's currently pointing at his rival certainly doesn't seem to think so.
    Good thing Shane Hollander never misses an opportunity to teach proper stick handling technique.

    ***
    OR: Ilya's body aggressively informs him that he isn't straight, when he gets hard just from looking at Shane during their post-CCM shoot shower. They hook up in room 1014, where Shane takes the lead.

    Summary

    Ilya came home from Russia with his father buried and a terrible truth lodged like a piece of glass in his throat. He loves Shane Hollander. He can never have him. Not without making Shane sacrifice something big— too big to give up for the paltry offering of himself in return.

    He plays the game with a lump in his stomach, heavy guilt warring with his heart’s anxious flutter every time Shane looks at him. Something fundamental has shifted between them. He’s not sure if it’s been this way since Shane came out to him in Tampa, and held him tight like he was trying to keep Ilya in one piece as he was shattering apart. Or maybe it was that phone call, Ilya shivering on the cold streets of Moscow, a frayed nerve, spilling his guts out on the sidewalk.

    Either way, Ilya is going to end it. He has to end it.

    --

    AU in which Shane doesn't get a concussion and he and Ilya meet as planned. Ilya, deluded by his own self-loathing, attempts to break up with Shane, for the sake of their careers. But he finds that's easier said than done.

    Lovely. Like, you can’t break up with Shane if he won’t let you.

    Summary

    Shane’s eyes widened. “You… knit socks for me?”

    “Yes, Shane. This I have already said. I knit you socks. They are soft for your sensitive baby skin. They are also nice colours, yes?” The colours were yellow and black, which Ilya had found very funny at the time. Shane’s reaction, or lack thereof, was making him find it less funny.

    (or, Ilya becomes a victim of the knitter’s curse)

    Summary

    Shane’s brain cycled rapidly through a half-dozen celebrities, porn actors, Grindr profiles, every attractive bartender who’d ever served him a beer, trying to find a comparison for this level of outrageously concentrated beauty in one person, but he was drawing a blank.

    The man—Ilya Rozanov, Facilities Attendant, his badge read—gestured around the supply closet. “I help you find something?”

    --
    Canon-divergent AU set during the 2017-18 MLH season. Shane Hollander doesn’t have a single Cup to his name when he meets a very hot and very annoying janitor who works at the Metros stadium.
