    Summary

    “Just got the word from the officials, Metros are shutting Miitka down for the night," LeClaire says almost dispassionately. “Third period we’re up against,” LeClaire consults his clipboard, “Shane Hollander. Drafted 2009, current starter for the Laval Maples, posts a .905 save percentage.”

    Ilya stays where he is, rolling the name around in his head once, without much interest.

    Hollander.

    Doesn’t ring a bell.


    Inspired by that one twitter post, what if Shane was a goalie?

    Summary

    Alphas are considered brutes that need to be tamed. They are separated from the real world, living in training centers until they learn how to be useful and chosen by a beta or omega.

    Eighteen year old Shane recently lost both of his parents, leaving him without a pack. He is lost and hurting, and his health is declining rapidly from years of suppressants and losing his pack. He is told he needs an alpha to balance out his hormones, reduce stress, and help him get through his irregular and painful heats. He gets given multiple options, but he can’t help but be drawn to a particular Russian alpha.

    Summary

    All Shane wanted to do was to play hockey.
    He knew he was pretty much the best at it.

    What he didn't know, being the best was not enough.

    Being a gay Asian-Canadian hockey player didn't help anything at all.

    Nor did the fact that he got drafted to Ottawa, the team where Ilya Rozanov was already the biggest star.

    Or,
    An alternate universe where Shane is openly out as gay. Ilya is still closeted bisexual. And they both play for the same team- ie, Ottawa Centaurs.

    Summary

    “We could…be friends, maybe.” Shane’s voice was small, hesitant on almost every sound.

    “Wha–” Ilya’s reply was less of a word and more of a stupid, confused noise like he’d been punched. A punch probably would’ve caught him less off guard than what Shane actually said.

    “Y’know, text about the hockey gossip? You call, I answer? Friends.”

    Something terrifyingly bright exploded into Ilya’s chest. Something dangerous, that felt like maybe it could keep him warm through the summer in Russia, through the chill that permeated his childhood home no matter how warm it was outside.

    “And also we like to suck each other’s dicks,” he quipped, trying to deflect.

    “Fuck off, Rozanov.”

    ---

    Drunk and young and stupid, Shane and Ilya choose to be honest - just a little bit. To lean into each other, instead of apart. What happens if they choose to be a little bit brave on a Vegas rooftop in 2011, and keep choosing it?

    Summary

    Following Vegas, Shane was desperate to prove he can move on. Instead he spirals into a summer-long "hoe phase." He chases older men, with blue eyes, and hints of Ilya's dominance.

    Specifically, a Russian man from Ottawa with rough hands, a Puerto Rican yoga instructor who stretches him in ways he didn't know were possible, a married couple in New York who use him in ways both thrilling and hollow, a hockey captain who embodies "daddy" energy, and finally, an old friend who makes him realize something crucial: he's been running in the wrong direction.

    By October, Shane understands what his type really is. He doesn't need Rose Landry or Tampa in this AU to figure it out either. His type comes in the form of one fuckboy in Boston wearing a #81 on his jersey. His type is Ilya fucking Rozanov.

    OR: 5 times Shane adds to his body count and 1 time Ilya is heartbroken after hearing about said body count.
