As an NHL referee, Max Lynden, lives by structure, discipline, and the unspoken lines that keep the game fair and the league running. His job is to stay invisible, impartial, and untouchable. The last thing he expects is getting pulled into the volatile orbit of the league's most infamous rivals: Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov.
Some games aren't meant to be played safe-they're meant to be played hard.

BETWEEN THE LINES - heated rivalry
When Marcus Carter is drafted into the league, he quickly realizes he is entering a world that was never built with him in mind. Shane is drawn to Marcus's discipline and quiet strength, the way he leads without needing attention. Ilya is captivated by his confidence, his refusal to be intimidated, and the warmth beneath his restraint. What starts as trust on the ice slowly turns into something more off it. Lingering looks. Late night conversations. Silences that say more than words ever could. But Marcus has learned to guard his heart. Loving two men who already share history and chaos means risking everything he has worked to protect. [Shane Hollander x Ilya Rozanov x Marcus Carter]Complete

Captured Rivalry
Aiden Myers never expected when he started the second year of his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Montreal that he'd be scouted by the MLH to take photos for their promotional media frenzy of the season, featuring the two up-and-coming rookies, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rosanov. Nor did he expect the two rookies to be so intriguing to his usually nonchalant self. Ilya Rosanov and Shane Hollander have more than enough to deal with as rookies. Pitted against each other as rivals for publicity, the two must navigate the world of hockey with thousands of eyes watching their every move. To make it even harder, the two have such a deep simmering chemistry underneath the surface, which only seems to intensify when the cute mysterious photographer hired to shadow them has more than just an eye for detail. What happens when Aiden's presence between the two famous hockey players unlocks something more complex than the three men could have ever imagined was possible? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a polyamorous story between three men.

Ezra Laurent-McAllister was once inseparable from Shane Hollander until one kiss, one confession, and one moment of silence shattered everything. Branded by rumors and crushed by homophobia, Ezra chose survival over honesty, burying his sexuality and leaving Canada behind to rebuild his life in New York. Years later, he returns as the New York Admirals' top center, forced into a brutal rivalry with Shane's Montreal team and dragged into the league's most infamous feud between Shane and Illya Rozanov. Ezra wants nothing to do with the past, but the ice has a memory, and Illya sees what Shane lost long before Shane does. Caught between guilt, obsession, and unspoken truth, Ezra must decide whether faith, love, and identity can coexist in a world that once demanded his silence or if survival will always come at a cost.
Wanna Be Yours | Heated Rivalry
He must have heard it wrong because the adjective could be paired with an endless list of nouns. Perhaps it is his unfamiliarity with the complement that befuddles his vocabulary and understanding. However, there are only so many excuses he can tell himself when Shane Hollander repeats the words to him with an accompanying touch. "Good boy." Nathan Knight carries the last banner of his family name. No Knight has failed to hang their name among the stars of the Major League of Hockey. But his father seems to think that if anyone with his blood could bring shame, it would be him. Even when the world shouts his name, as loud as their need for oxygen - he will never be good enough. The hunger he has for acknowledgement and validation is a bottomless pit. Who would've thought that this appetite would shift from a child's awaiting eyes for a father's love to a young man's suppressed urge for his lovers' affection. At some point in this chase for familial pride, he would simply, "Wanna be yours." Shane Hollander x Ilya Rozanov x Male!OC Throuple/Triad
