Summary
“English is… is not first language,” the woman said quietly. Her accent was thick, and unmistakably Russian.
“Oh, sorry! I’m speaking too fast, aren’t I? Sorry,” she took a breath, and held out her hand. “I’m Yuna,” she repeated. The woman took her hand quickly, her hands bony and delicate.
“Irina,” she replied, before gesturing for Yuna to sit with her. Quickly, Yuna did. “Sorry, I have not been in Canada long.”
“No problem at all; welcome to Canada! Is that your boy?” Yuna asked, gesturing over to the child that had similar hair to Irina, which was poking out from under his helmet. He was taller than Shane, though his little hockey outfit still seemed to still dwarf him. He had a serious look on his face, but his eyes were light as he watched the other boys play. He was tapping his stick on the ice, clearly itching to get into the game.
“Ah, yes,” Irina nodded, taking a few seconds to translate the question, “Ilyusha.” Irina looked over at her son, a small smile on her face. “Is my Ilya.”
Or: Ilya and Irina move to Canada for a fresh start when he is six years old. He meets Shane Hollander at ice hockey practice, and they grow up together (and of course, fall in love).

Summary
“Hmm. Well. Let me think. We’d already established that you have a fat crush on Shane. And I trust Ilya with our literal children’s lives. And, I figured, maybe if you are bisexual, you’d want to… I don’t know… explore? Not that I want you going around and having sex with any man you find on the street - but, I trust you with Ilya and Shane. I trust that your feelings for me won’t change no matter what happens with them. Am I right?”
Wow. Hayden thought about all of that for a minute.
(or: Now that Hayden has spent a night with Shane and Ilya, it opens up a world of possibilities he's anxious about exploring.)

Summary
You know the drill, divas. Hockey camp AU.
Ilya is the future of the KHL. Shane’s stats are already being compared to this years class of NHL rookies, and for the next four weeks they would train in the same place.
The first time Shane dialed out for his mom Ilya vaulted himself across the room, tackling Shane to his bed so he could wrestle free the phone and say, “Hello, Mrs. Yuna Hollander. Is me Ilya. I’m here taking care of your son. He is good. Shane, tell her how good we are.”
Edit: I may have gotten carried away and this now extends past camp into their (separate) rookie seasons + the Olympics.

Summary
The airport looks like it always does. A sea of people oblivious to anything going on around them. Ilya is about to put his headphones over his ears when he sees something so familiar his brain almost doesn't register it. That is until he realizes that he's in fucking Moscow so this doesn't make any sense.
Because right there at the gate, spread out over several chairs, his duffle bag as a pillow, is the figure of Shane Hollander sleeping. The hood of his sweatshirt is up and he's wearing sunglasses, but Ilya would recognize the shape of Shane Hollander anywhere.
“Hollander?” he asks in shock, stepping closer.
Or, Shane shows up in Russia after learning Ilya's father died. Ilya did not ask him to do this. He just showed up. And now Ilya doesn't know what to do with himself. He proceeds to just go with it, and maybe listen to Shane for once.
Another song inspired fic, this time Ever the Same by Rob Thomas which I argue is underrated.
