    Summary

    Several years into Rozanov’s career, ESPN hires a reporter fluent in Russian.

    Suddenly able to answer questions fluently and with a wide vocabulary, Rozanov’s interviews go viral. Hockey fans around the world get a new look at what they thought about Boston’s #81. This changes not only his public persona, but his whole life.

    Inspired by the look on NBA star Nikola Jokić’s face when he was asked a question in his native Serbian and my own struggles learning a new language.

    Summary

    “So I met Ilya Rozanov.” His mom said, aiming for casual over their weekly lunch meeting.

    “Okay….” Shane said carefully, anxious as to where this was going.

    “I gave him your number.” Yuna said, pinning Shane with her gaze.

    “What?” Shane choked out panic rising high in his throat. Oh my god. His mother was an insane person.

    “Relax. I ran into him at the store, so he doesn’t know who I am or who you are. I just told him it meant so much to see him being so open about his sexuality in the NHL, and I told him I had a son who was anxious about that, who also claims he can’t find himself a husband and give me grandkids before he retires, which he disagreed with by the way, so I gave him your number so he can tell you that himself.” Yuna shrugged like she didn’t just say about twelve consecutive crazy things at once.

    Summary

    For Shane and Ilya, the summer off-season is supposed to be about healing from a brutal playoff run. But between a double proposal and a wedding alliance (and maybe something more) forming between Svetlana Vetrova and Rose Landry, quiet is definitely off the table.

    While Shane and Ilya navigate the friction of planning a life together, Luca is fighting his own battle. Feeling the pressure of a championship legacy and a lingering knee injury, a reckless accident lands him in the ER, where an incredibly put-upon nursing student makes him feel the same sparks he sees flickering between his dad and his captain. Too bad she's utterly unimpressed by his stats, his name, or his trophies.

    The Hollander-Rozanov family is finding out that winning the Cup was the easy part. Building a home is where the real work begins.

    (Second in my Hollanov are actually Luca's parents AU. Read don't know what to do whenever you are near first.)

    Summary

    As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.

    So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.

    (He’s jealous.)

    Summary

     

     
    After Ilya breaks Shane's heart in Sochi, Shane builds a life out of control.

    Three cups. Captaincy. Precision. Routine. Emptiness.

    When no achievement manages to make him feel anything, he turns to a mysterious phone service instead.

    Intimate in ways that should be impossible between strangers. A man who understands exactly how to pull Shane apart without ever touching him. Who gives him structure instead of chaos. Relief instead of performance.

    Shane finds himself pulled toward something he thought he buried years ago.

    ----

    Or:
    Set 4 years after Sochi, where both Ilya and Shane were left with shattered hearts, this is a story about second chances and being brave enough to trust again. To want anew.
