  1. Summary

    A mostly crackfic series that asks, what if Shane and Ilya were slightly out of character? Shane is bitchier, Ilya is manic and philosophical, Cliff Marleau and the Boston boys take turns babysitting their crashing-out captain, and Shane finally gets recognized as the pretty, funny, sassy player he is.

    Nothing is too serious about this, it's a mix of show and book canon, and a healthy dose of fanon (himbo king Cliff). Ilya is allowed to catch feelings early, as a treat and Shane is allowed to let his inner mean girl out.

    Please enjoy these silly boys and their silly relationships! Four works so far with more to come! How much more? I don't know! They keep doing silly things and my brain keeps writing it down.

    Thanks for reading! 💕

    Summary

    Right after Shane wins the 2011 Rookie of the Year award, he makes a wild suggestion: Ilya could spend the following day with him.

    They end up doing a few boring activities, like hiking, reading, or getting married.

    What follows is a long-distance, highly secret, frustrating, and completely loving married life, while still being arch-rivals to the rest of the world.

    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.

    Summary

    Shane smiles, rolling his eyes. “You’re going to have them eating out of the palm of your hand with that accent.”

    Ilya grins. “Oh, you like it?”

    “No,” Shane says quickly, looking away. “I mean—it’s an accent. Girls like accents. It’s like… an unfair advantage.”

    Ilya laughs. “Okay. Well. I bet the girls will fall for your awkward charm, you bet they will fall for my Russian accent.” He holds out his hand. “Want to make it interesting?”
     

    Or, Shane and Ilya both sign up for a reality dating show to meet their future wives. They meet each other instead, and shit gets messy. (A Love is Blind AU)

    Summary

    Rozanov's so… professional. He's all grown up and not at all like the boy he once was. The polite smile never leaves his face even when he's looking at Shane.

    "You are very lucky," Rozanov tells him, "That your concussion is only mild. Seeing me is a not so good thing, okay?"

    Shane sighs through his nose, pouts. "Yeah… okay. But… I haven't seen you in a million years. Why are you a doctor now? You should be playing hockey—" He wiggles a little, grins sideways— "With me."

    - - -

    or, after wondering what happened to Ilya after the NHL draft, Shane discovers he's been in Montreal the whole time, and more than that, is an entire doctor instead of the hockey player he should've become.
