    Summary

    Hayden Pike and his group chat of coworkers are pretty sure their new manager Shane has a parasocial obsession with a professional hockey player.

    He talks about him constantly, knows everything about him, watches every game, and even has candid photos of him that are definitely not available through conventional sources. So naturally, they decide to intervene to find him a man who actually knows he exists.

    Shane, for his part, has no idea what they're talking about.

    Summary

    Ilya ignored the request from the NHL twice. The first time they asked through his agent, the second time the director of marketing called his personal number directly. He never got along with the league as a player, and he certainly didn't need to make them happy now.

    The next attempt to reach him was harder to ignore. A phone call from an unknown number. A voicemail that made his blood run cold.

    "Hi Ilya. This is Rose Landry. We've never met, but Shane speaks so highly of you. I think the NHL has been trying to get in touch. Shane said you probably wouldn't talk to them. But...think about it, ok? I know it would mean a lot to him."

    The final request crumbled his resolve. The caller ID blinked "Jane," and Ilya stared at it.

    ***
    Canon divergence, Shane and Ilya are estranged for a decade. Shane finally reaches out to Ilya when he retires.

    Summary

    No matter the trope.
    No matter the universe.
    No matter the setup.
    They find each other.

    He rolled over, already thinking about which train he should catch to head home when he came face to face with–

    – a child.

    “AH!” Ilya squeaked, more high-pitched than he would ever admit. Her eyes widened at the undignified noise, but she didn’t say anything, nor did she back away. She was probably… six? Seven? Hell, Ilya was terrible at guessing kids’ ages. She had black hair, pulled up in pigtails, and very pretty brown eyes. She was holding a stuffed cat that looked well-loved in her arms. It seemed to be missing an eye. She gave him a once-over and suddenly Ilya felt like he was being inspected.

    Suddenly remembering that he was only wearing underwear, Ilya pulled the covers up to his chin. “Um. Hello,” he said.

    “Why are you in Dad’s bed?”

    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

    Shane Hollander loves two things: hockey and his infuriatingly clingy husband.

    When Ilya slams into an unexpected rut on the ice, Shane’s the only one who can get him home before things turn feral.

    What starts as a very intense, very ill-timed rut turns into late-night guilt, broken pride, and an impossible wish for a family Shane will never be able to carry—
    until a specialist, an ultrasound, and a tiny heartbeat say otherwise.
