(Game Changer Fanfiction - Post The Long Game)
When Ilya spots an eleven-year-old girl skating alone late at night on the Rideau Canal, he doesn't expect it to unravel something inside him.
Maddie loves hockey. Her mother Laura is exhausted, fighting battles no one sees.
What begins as a simple invitation to a Centaures practice slowly becomes something much bigger - forcing Shane and Ilya to confront their own pasts, their future, and the question they've only ever asked in theory:
Could they really be parents?
Because sometimes the ice isn't just where you play.
Sometimes, it's the only place that feels safe.

Hidden - Heated Rivalry
Everyone knows Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander hate each other. The Boston Raiders and Montreal Metros rivals spend every season trying to destroy each other on the ice, and the media eats it up every time. Cold interviews. Cheap shots during games. Years of tension that looks a lot like resentment to everyone watching. Nobody knows that for the last two years, behind hotel room doors and late-night flights, they've been hooking up in secret. And nobody knows Ilya has a daughter. At twenty years old, Ilya is suddenly raising a two-month-old baby alone after her mother disappears without warning. Exhausted, overwhelmed, and desperate to keep Irina hidden from the public, he starts pulling away from everything-including hockey, his teammates, and Shane. Shane notices immediately. Because Ilya Rozanov never disappears. As the 2020 season approaches, secrets begin stacking faster than either of them can control. Between media pressure, rivalry, sleepless nights, and feelings neither of them know how to name, what started as something physical slowly becomes something far more dangerous: a family. But families require trust. And trust means telling the truth. The problem is that Ilya has built his entire life around making sure nobody ever sees the softest parts of him. Especially Shane Hollander.
Bittersweet - Heated Rivalry
Sienna Marie Laurent has spent her whole life moving from one foster home to the next, learning that trust is dangerous and home is just a word. At sixteen, she's sharp-tongued, elite at soccer, and not about to let anyone get close-especially two strangers who suddenly decide they want her. Shane Hollander is calm, patient, and determined. A Japanese-Canadian professional hockey player, he's seen his fair share of challenges-but nothing could prepare him for a stubborn French teen who refuses to let anyone in. When he sets his mind on adopting Sienna, there's no turning back. Ilya Rozanov is tall, intimidating, and completely uninterested in children-until Shane insists. A Russian hockey star with piercing blue eyes and a personality that clashes with Sienna's at every turn, he's only here for Shane. But Sienna's attitude sparks something in him he doesn't want to admit. Thrown together by fate, forced into a world they didn't choose, Sienna must navigate the impossible: new families, icy stares, and hearts she didn't know she was about to break. Will she find a home with the people who refuse to leave her side? Or will her walls be too high for anyone to climb?

After that, her father turned to drugs and eventually died from an overdose. At that time, Ilya Rozanov was nineteen years old. He saw an advertisement about her in the newspaper. Because of his own past, he knew he had to do something for this little girl. Two weeks later, they saw each other for the first time at the adoption center. Ilya was certain that this girl would turn his whole life upside down. His career in Boston had only just begun, but he was willing to do anything to call this girl his daughter. And so it happened: less than a month later, he suddenly had a two-year-old child living in his home. In the beginning, things were a bit difficult, but as time passed they slowly began to get used to each other.

Blades of Glory
Irina Rozanova-Hollander had been told she was wearing the blades of glory all of her life. As the only daughter to hockey legends Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, she had always been in the spotlight, just like her dads and as Canada's most prestigious teen athlete in figure skating, she also finds her greatest passion on the ice. It all would have been so perfect, only if it wasn't for that one junior hockey player making her life hell, and an unknown number watching her every move.
The Hollander-Rozanovs
Alexander "Sasha" Petrov never expected a future. Not a real one. Growing up in a Russian orphanage, Sasha learned one thing early-no one stays. People leave. Promises break. And if you want to survive, you don't depend on anyone except yourself. Except... he never really had just himself. He had Zoya. His little sister. Soft in a world that tried to harden her. Too kind for a place like that. And the only reason Sasha ever cared about anything at all. He built his entire life around one promise-protect her. No matter what. No matter who. No matter how much it costs him. And then they show up. Shane and Ilya. Two men who don't belong in a place like that. Too calm. Too certain. Too... different. Zoya trusts them almost instantly-which is already a problem. Sasha doesn't trust them at all-which might be a bigger one. But when a single promise is made-"I'll come back"-everything starts to change. Because this time... They actually do.
