    Summary

    Some weights are inherited. Some cages have no locks—only the memory of bars. These are the stories carried in the body, the ones that shape a person before they have words for them, and the slow, terrifying work of choosing who to become.

    Summary

    Hi Ilya,

    My name is Shane! I don’t speak Russian, I hope that’s okay. I’m also 25 years old and I love hockey too! So we have some things in common.

    I’ve never written an inmate before. I don’t really know why I’m doing this. I guess I’m lonely. I’m not very good at making friends or dating. I think maybe I can be a bit awkward in person, but I’m good at writing. So I hope that’s okay.

    or Shane Hollander finds Ilya Rozanov on WriteAPrisoner.com and sends him an email.

    Shane leaves that Vegas penthouse suite feeling wretched, and like an idiot, and like he never wants to see Ilya Rozanov again.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is a freshly graduated assistant for the Security Service in London with a dossier full of grisly crime scene photos, and a less-than-professional fascination with a case he’s not even supposed to be a part of.

    Ilya Rozanov is the hired gun for the shadowy figure that looms over his father's shoulder. An asset built for discretion, precision, and obedience, who keeps failing at the part where he has to forget about his own morality.

    They were not supposed to meet like this.

    And they were definitely not supposed to remember each other.

    Summary

    “Shane, this is Ilya Rozanov.”

    For a world-ending moment, it felt like the ground was falling out from beneath him. The hand he’d been extending to greet the new bodyguard froze in midair, a stab of panic jolting through his entire body.

    Because it was the man from the night before. The man he’d slept with.

    (Shane Hollander is the son of the Canadian prime minister. He is also the captain of his college hockey team. This obscene balancing act is seemingly going just fine, until he accidentally hooks up with his new bodyguard one night at the bar.)

    Summary

    A series of non-related Alpha/Beta/Omegaverse fics that all have a defining theme of alphas being assholes, and Ilya Rozanov being one of them.

    Please note that another defining theme is non-consent. When I say, "being assholes," I don't mean it in the cocky-sexy-asshole way (canon Ilya), I mean it in a real asshole way. Read at your own risk.

    Summary

    As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.

    So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.

    (He’s jealous.)

    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

    Rose saw that Svetlana had commented a bunch of fire- and hearteye-emojis on her post.

    Well, that was nice. But it probably didn’t mean anything.

    Rose didn’t really know why, but something inside her was desperately urging for Svetlana Vetrova to simply like her.

    Everything she had seen of the woman radiated this cool, indifferent and extremely beguiling energy. A mysterious, kind of sexy vibe that Rose had been trying to embody herself her whole career, but never quite managed to capture or maintain authentically.

    The reason why she felt so drawn to Svetlana, was probably because she was someone who had that exact vibe going for her and seemingly didn’t even have to try hard at all. Svetlana looked like a fucking movie star. Rose wanted to look like that and she was a fucking movie star, for god’s sake.

    OR

    you're finally getting THE Roselana slow burn / bisexual awakening / yearning / girls kissing / "dont know if I want to BE her or if I WANT her" fanfic you've been waiting for!!

    This will be the slowest of slowburns everrrrrr, but once they get going there will be lots of smut (pinky promise)

    Summary

    “I signed with the KHL team.” He says quietly. “I start practice tomorrow.”

    His father watches him for another second before nodding once. “Good.” The word came out flat and there’s a pause before his eyes narrowed slightly again. “You’ll stay useful that way.”

    Useful. Not talented nor successful, but useful. The word settles heavily somewhere inside Ilya’s chest because that’s all he’s ever really been in this house. Something to control and to turn into proof that his father could create perfection if he hit hard enough or yelled loud enough.

    Ilya Rozanov leaves his country with a single goal: to build a life where no one gets to control him again. Ottawa is supposed to be that. Boring, yet a solid reason for him to leave the life he had in the coldness of Moscow.

    What he didn't expect was all the chaos that follows as he put his life on the line to get on that plane, or the beautiful freckles on Centaurs' newest captain that haunts his dream.

    Heavily inspired by Sidney Crosby & Evgeni Malkin

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has a terrible problem: he's with women who are sexy and fun, but he can't stop thinking about this slow fucking hockey player with beautiful freckles and a weak backhand.

    The message is still open, unanswered. Ilya's eyes skim over it again. Who says I was alone.

    He tries to picture it, if nothing else so he can craft the right teasing remark to shoot back, to keep the banter light. He's seen the special on Hollander's fortress of solitude cabin, he's seen Hollander party at hockey awards nights and all-star weekends. It's not hard to picture Hollander in the bedroom or on a dance floor, pressed up close with…

    With whom? Who should Ilya be picturing, here? He never hears about Hollander with women.

    Summary

    It had been 2,045 days since Shane had heard from Ilya Rozanov.

    But, who was counting? He wasn't counting. No, he had stopped mentally counting after the first year. When the 365 day mark had passed. Now it was just tracked on his phone. A painful reminder whenever he happened to open his calendar app.

    or

    A "re:hi" alternate universe where Ilya stopped responding in 2003.

    Summary

    He’s standing across from Ilya in his kitchen. Their feet are almost touching, Ilya’s in black socks that Shane also has multiple pairs of, Shane’s in his favourite soft striped ones. The rain is getting louder outside, moving from a drizzle to a downpour. And Ilya is looking at him like he loves him.

    Summary

    There are 2 years and 4 months between the Vegas hotel room and the tuna melt. Shane and Ilya spend far more of it apart than together but those blazing moments when they’re finally in the same room haunt every moment that they’re not.

    Or, a thorough expansion of the episode 4 montage featuring sex with other people, angst, obsessing, self-deception, and graphic SM because I am obsessed with that cut between the boards and the couch.

    Summary

    Married, out, and still drowning, Ilya plays reckless hockey, carries old grief, and tells everyone he’s fine while getting dangerously close to proving he isn’t. But after a loss to Boston, alone in the middle of the night, he comes closer than ever to making a choice he can’t undo.

    Shane loves him. But love, terrifyingly, might not be enough.

    This fic takes place after 'The Long Game' so spoiler warning in case you haven't read that.

    Summary

    MONTREAL VOYAGEURS PASS ON HOLLANDER FOLLOWING FINALS INJURY
    Despite being projected as at least a top-three pick, Shane Hollander slips to 57th overall after a Grade III ankle ligament tear sustained in the World Junior Hockey Championships earlier this year.

    BOSTON BEARS SELECT ROZANOV FIRST OVERALL, HOLLANDER IN SECOND ROUND
    Boston bets on two of juniors' most electric players; one a sure thing, one a gamble. The Bears have never minded those.

    Shane Hollander did not get drafted to Montreal. He gets drafted to Boston, fifty-seventh overall, after #1 draft pick, Ilya Rozanov. He has a plan for that. The plan does not account for Ilya Rozanov being the way that Ilya Rozanov is.

    Summary

    “And you’re sure there’s nothing for you?” David says suddenly. “You’re not—you’re feeling okay? You’re not sick? Shane wouldn’t have any reason to think that you’re sick?”

    Ilya blinks and turns to him. “I am fine. Totally fine. Better than fine, even, before today.”

    “It’s just—Shane’s acting like you’re dying, Ilya.”

    “Not as far as I’m aware,” says Ilya. “And I do not think he would learn this before me.”

    The summer before Ilya joins the Centaurs, Shane wakes up nervous. It doesn't stop from there.
