    Summary

    Selected text messages from the phones of Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, circa 2020-2021.

     
    Troy Barrett: I’m planning to drive up to Toronto to finish packing up my apartment on Saturday, and I was wondering if you’d want to grab dinner after your game while we’re both in town?
    -
    Jane: …did you tell Barrett about us?
    Lily: no i promise
    Lily: he maybe thinks it is possible, but i did not tell
    Jane: I don’t think he has any idea
    Lily: what makes you say this
    Jane: Just a hunch

     
    Or: Troy asks for Shane’s number, and Ilya gives it to him. What could go wrong? Or maybe more importantly, what could go right?

    Summary

    "Oh, it looks like you’re doing better! With those scores, I guess we won’t have to meet as often anymore." Shane was beaming, proudly looking down at the transcript. Ilya’s smile immediately dropped.

    Needless to say, he scored 20 points lower on the next midterm.

    In which popular hockey fuckboy Ilya Rozanov falls madly in love with the university's golden boy Shane Hollander. Somehow, they go from being the talk on campus to becoming that couple.

    Alternatively, my take on the Jock!Ilya x Nerd!Shane trope bc it is desperately underrepresented.

    Summary

    Rose: Gentlemen also suck dick. And eat pussy. In fact I'd argue that's what makes them gentlemen. 
    Shane: Let's get back on track. What was it like besides the amazing sex?
    Rose: It was great. We hung out all day at her place until I had to leave to catch my flight.
    Shane: After the first night? You're a day in and you're already 80% further along than I was at this point in my own gay relationship, so congratulations.
    Rose: God, if I'm still in a situationship even two years from now please kill me.
    Shane: Hey it worked out alright

    Or: Rose and Svetlana hook up and then try to figure out what might come of it. Somehow, they think texting Shane and Ilya might help.

    Summary

    Ilya: Are you waiting for my plane to leave, Hollander?
    Jane: No
    Ilya: So we leave the cottage and you don't want to be honest anymore?
    Jane: Ok fine. I am. Is that silly?
    Ilya: No. I am taking photos of birds just to have something to talk to you about.
    Jane: You can always talk to me
    Jane: And you can always be honest with me. We should probably try to keep that cottage honesty thing going as long as we can?
    Ilya: Ok

    Or: It's 2017, and Shane and Ilya need to figure out how to be long-distance boyfriends. Most of the time all they can do is text each other.

    (Fics in the series are standalone stories that share loose connections and references.)

    Summary

    Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”

    “Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.

    He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.

    A year after mysteriously dropping out of the 2009 draft, Shane Hollander is signed by the Boston Raiders, right behind Ilya Rozanov. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston — but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.
