"Shane leaned his head back against the couch and took a deep breath, feeling the weight of Ilya resting on him. He was caught between wanting to preserve the little time they had left before Ilya got on a plane that afternoon, and wanting to press further and make sure his boyfriend wasn't slipping out of his fingers. He felt out of reach, physically with Shane but somehow slowly drifting away. Shane closed his eyes, saying a silent prayer, or maybe a wish. Please bring him back. I need him." -or- A look into the ups and downs of the two greatest professional hockey players who fell in love as they navigate their high-profile relationship in secrecy. Told from Shane's perspective as a closer look into his character and neurology, this story ebbs and flows with some of The Long Game canon, touching on a few of the same general plot points but with new, in-depth perspective and creative liberty. *TW: depression, mental health issues, disordered eating briefly mentioned. Smoking, drinking, drug use, language. NO SMUT, but stuff is heavily implied/fade to black*

★ ⋮ 𝙞𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 ⸝⸝ everyone knows that alexander saint lazarus is something special, childhood spent dragging lacklustre australian ice hockey teams into victory year after year with nothing more than sheer willpower and a distinct distaste for any other medal than gold. an nhl legacy is basically written in the stars as the trajectory of his existence barrels towards being one of the greats. that is until he meets shane hollander and ilya rozanov outside of an ice-rink in saskatchewan and his entire life is spun off course. ★ ⋮ 𝙤𝙧 ⸝⸝ prodigies rarely do anything by half, even if that means secretly hooking up with both of your biggest rivals for the majority of your star-studded ice hockey career (shane hollander x male! oc x ilya rozanov)

Shane invites Ilya to his lakeside cottage for two quiet weeks in the off-season. It's supposed to be uncomplicated. No teams, no press, no pretending. Instead, it turns into slow mornings, shared meals, negotiated control, and the kind of closeness that's a lot harder to walk away from than either of them expected.

Married life couldn't be better for Ilya Rozanov and his beautiful husband, Shane Hollander. They shared a home, a dog, and the very promised trophy room. They loved each other and couldn't be happier. Fans also loved them, husbands playing together? THE DREAM. Yet, still, as their first year of marriage passed by... they couldn't help but think something was missing. Someone was missing. They had so much love to give still. But it wouldn't be as easy as they thought.

A story inspired by The Long Game by Rachel Reid. Shortly after they get married, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rosanov are approached with the most unforeseen task: parenthood. They adopt twins, Luka and Katerina, who lost their mother and father tragically in a car accident, from Russia and embark on a new journey together as a family.

This is from the story the long game (A sequel to heated rivalry). It's set towards the end, after their video was leaked and right as they are walking out of their meeting with Crowell.

Shane got an email he'd expected to be able to easily ignore, but then he sees his husband's face and realizes he's gonna end up doing this embarrassing thing. Set after the Long Game Epilogue, so spoilers. Editing by dxeej for ch1-2

Shane ate his Tuna melt, said Ilya's name and ran off... but what if he came right back after freaking out in his car for a bit. What if they talked a little, not about everything but enough. Part two goes up tomorrow and then that's the end.

"I'm a female hockey player, Shane. Even if I hadn't come out you, which I'm pretty sure I did, I think it's safe to say that I'm queer," Ava said, baffled. She was sure she had come out to Shane, at some point. "Nope. That never happened. Trust me, I'd remember my sister coming out to me! And I'm not just going to assume you're a lesbian just because of your career!" Shane sputtered, eyes wide and face flushed. Or Shane comes out to his sister and she gets a new best friend.

It's been a while since Shane and Ilya have been together, they have now settled down in Toronto with their two children, Nikolai and Alyona. Thier daughter Alyona (Yona) is a well known figure skater with the Toronto Angels, while her brother Nikolai has followed in their dads footsteps and is a hockey player for the New Yorker Wolves Hockey Team. His coach is the famous Scott Hunter who use to be on Montreal with Shane. Scott is now married to Kip, their son Theodore (Teddy) is also a New Yorker Wolves hockey player and best friends with Nikolai. Ilya and Shane have had the cottage remodelled as a family vaction place, along with other rooms for guests. Nikolai takes this as an oppertunity to invite Scott, Kip and Teddy during the summer break. Yona sees Teddy again, but this time something clicks and things will change...forever *I own none of the orginal chracters this is a fanfiction*
