    Summary

    Ilya asked Shane’s father while Shane and his mother were talking outside: “Is boyfriends correct? Lovers is incorrect, but I am not sure what is correct.”

    “Well,” Mr. Hollander said. “‘Lovers’ is usually used for, hm, a mistress or an affair. Something kind of sordid. Though--you would say Romeo and Juliet is a play about two lovers,” he said. He paused his knife on the chopping board. “Somehow that’s right and using it for real people isn’t right. English is a damn funny language, Ilya."

    “Yes,” Ilya said from the bottom of his heart.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Hollanov. Complete.
    Ilya focused.
    Some angst but a joy to read.
    The one where Ilya helps the Jewish ladies with the broken grocery cart (just a cute scene, not the point of the story).
    The one where Ilya makes a friend with a gay Rookie, and treats his depression and gets outed whole still playing for Boston, but it's very HEA.

    Summary

    Cliff's Rookie year was kinda fucking awful. Being the new guy sucks.

    Lucky for him, there's a new new guy to take the heat now.

    Even luckier for him, the new guy is kinda fucking crazy...

    Or, Ilya Rozanov Vs The Locker Room, featuring the epic bromancing of one Cliff Marlow.

    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.

    Hollanov complete.
    AU when Ilya is in Ottowa, Shane doesn't want to come out, so Ilya gets traded West and they break up, with lots of angst, but I'm a sweet journey back to each other

    Summary

    Anyway, Shane didn't remember exactly what was in the folder ... But he knew they were all good shots of him.

    He hastily clicked open the folder, his eyes barely glancing through the dozen or so shots there, vaguely registering a picture with a sunset background from his condo balcony, something of him laughing, a picture of him working at his laptop with his glasses on...

    The director called him again, and he shook his head, the photos blurring. Whatever. It would have to do.

    He clicked "select all," then the messages icon, then Rozanov's name. Hit send.

    ----

    Or: When never-hooked-up Shane and Ilya have to collaborate on a league charity project, Shane accidentally sends Ilya a nude.

    Summary

    “5 times people clocked Shane and Ilya being absolutely unhinged about each other and the 1 time it was encouraged.

    Or

    Cliff Pov: You want me too break your nose?!

    Yuna Pov: She can't stop herself from peaking, to make sure Ilya can calm Shane down - she see's something else

    Scott and Kip Pov: What do you mean i remind you of your brother? What do you mean you don't know your a bottom?

    Hayden Pov: First he fails at convincing Shane to become his third, then walks in on him getting his back blown out, then Shane gets kidnapped. Oh no.

    Svetlana Pov: Plane crash rewrite - somehow this leads to Svetlana following Shane up a mountain in hopeless rescue attempt

    Ilya Pov: My dick too big and my bitch too hot (Shane is in SubSpace then the hotel fire alarm goes off)

    Luca Pov: what’s a BDSM relationship? (Luca sees some stuff that sets of an internal alarm.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Amazing Hollanov
    WIP, but many oneshots that's can be read stand alone with an overlying thread of the bdsm aspect of Hollanov
    Luca is like a young Shane, will LA Pointe be like Ilya?
    This is the one with Shave getting in an accident and almost kidnapped, the plane crashing and Shane and Svetlana mountain climbing to find them, etc
