Summary
It occurs to Shane, distantly, that he’ll have to wear the defaced jersey and his sweaty uniform pants if he wants to leave the locker room. He really, really wants to leave the locker room.
His feet won’t move, though, like the bottom half of his body is suddenly made of lead, while the rest of him twists uncontrollably in the wind. His head feels like it’s floating off into outer space.
Traitor.
Things get worse for Shane after he and Ilya get outed to the world. Ilya and the Centaurs help soften the blow.

Summary
Shane knew himself well enough to admit it, there were real feelings there. Complicated, messy, painful feelings.
And despite everything, despite the rejection, the distance, the confusion, he still craved him.
Craved the intimacy.
Craved the softness he had seen in flashes but never fully received.
Why couldn’t Ilya open up like this?
Why couldn’t he just… talk to him?
Because this, this right here with Hayden, was easy.
Shane looked at Hayden and couldn’t believe how natural it felt.
Why was it so hard to be like this with Ilya?

Summary
Shane has always lived inside himself.
Inside his head. Inside his routines. Inside the version of him everyone trusts to hold it all together. He has learned through the years how to be disciplined, successful, untochable—how to carry love and expectation withouth letting either slip.
What he hasn’t learned is how to ask for help.
Luckily, his boyfriend Ilya, who everyone believe is his rival, notices first. He starts to see the patterns Shane won’t name out loud and the silences that last a little too long. He loves Shane, and that means paying attention, even when what he finds is frightening, even when he struggles too.
or
Shane slowly develops an eating disorder during the time he and Ilya are secretly dating while still playing for Montreal and Boston, and Ilya is the first one to notice, and the first one to try to do something about it.

Summary
“I did something stupid,” Shane confesses, inhaling rapidly. He's still crying, still frozen in the doorway, besides his hitching chest and watering eyes. Hayden's never seen him like this, overtaken with emotion, bitter exhaustion in his voice. He makes a soft choked noise, and Hayden immediately wants to kill something, whatever it is that's making him feel so awful. “I—Hayds—you're gonna hate me—”
“No,” Hayden says before he can even finish the thought, almost hurt by the accusation. “No way. You're—I wouldn't. I won't.”
Shane sniffs, offering him a sad smile, his eyes watery and solemn. It's an unfamiliar look, burnt through with sorrow and twisting doubt, sharp worry in the furrow of his brow. “You are,” he says, soft and certain. “I do, and I'm the one who's doing it.”
OR: Shane returns to the hotel room, post-tuna melt. Hayden spirals.

Summary
Over a decade prior, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov's relationship kicked off in a nearly empty ice rink, surrounded by cameras and directors that wanted a piece of a rivalry that was sure to take the hockey world by storm for the foreseeable future, filming a commercial to promote their newfound stardom.
Now, out and safe, the topic comes up again, and a certain Ottawa social media manager (the GOAT Harris, of course) has the idea to revisit and recreate said commercial as a way to reminisce and bring the world back to the couple's roots.
TLDR: Shane and Ilya recreate the commercial that started the whole thing, albeit with a lot more love and a lot more nostalgia.

Summary
Team management e-mails him early in the afternoon, but it’s just after helping Jackie feed Ruby and Jade dinner, when Hayden has the chance to go to the bedroom and sit against the bed headboard, that he manages to see and read it. The language is polite but friendly, and the person writing it actually identifies herself as the lady from the team’s media relationship, Nathaly, which immediately makes the exchange feel more real. She calls Hayden by his first name too, which also helps. Hayden has read some official communication before, but they addressed the team as a whole, so he knows this is different. Nathaly is talking to him to know if there’s any way he might billet for next season.
***
Alternate universe where Hayden was drafted two seasons before Shane and is three years older than him. He's not quite a veteran, but, somehow, he still gets picked by the Metros to house hockey's second coming of christ, Shane Hollander, during his rookie season. Shane never really leaves.

Summary
The second period was hell. Shane lost the face off again, almost getting knocked over in the process. His thoughts were barely cohesive anymore, his mind disconnected from reality. Shane's body screamed at him, every movement too much, his footing too unstable, his passes too sloppy. Too slow, too inaccurate, too weak. He knew he was letting his team down, he was failing them, he needed to be better, he was an undeserving captain, if he could just pull himself together…
Fucking pathetic.
A Boston player pushed him into the boards.
Shane's knees gave way underneath him and he went down. He felt winded, his lungs struggling to get oxygen into his system.
Everything felt wrong, wrong, wrong.
He needed to get up, get moving, score goals and lead his team, but he just couldn't find the strength.
People shouted, their voices too loud. Hands reached for him, moved him onto his back, and Shane wished they would let him go. They were not right, they were not…
…Ilya.
OR
Shane has the worst day of his life, the stress and anxiety causing him to go into heat during a game against Boston. Luckily, Ilya is there to take care of him.

Summary
Hayden’s chest goes taut with tension, his breath shallower the closer he gets to their room. The sounds have intensified in volume and now he feels like the worst kind of creep to walk the earth and an even worse fucking friend because he simply cannot stop his feet from moving forward.
Clarity hits him like a punch in the gut, then, standing right in front of the closed door with shaking fingers hovering on the doorknob.
“No, no, no– stop, ilya, I don't…”
“Hollander, I will put tape over your mouth if you don't shut up.”
He feels sick, and he can't fucking move, why can't he move?
—
In which a terrible misunderstanding occurs and Hayden finds out there’s very little he wouldn’t do for his best friend.

Summary
Hayden knew he shouldn’t do it. He knew snooping on someone’s phone is not cool at all, but Shane’s dry spell had really tanked their standing for the playoffs.
And before, anytime he was off his game a little “hanging out” with his “good friend” Boston Lily seemed to fix him up. Set him straight.
So, while Shane toweled off in the showers, Hayden might have grabbed Boston Lily’s number from his phone.
{Or, Hayden keeps meddling in Shane's love life to his own detriment.}

A Thing of Schoolyards And Playgrounds by flashfrombeyond
Fandoms: Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry (TV)

Summary
"Hayden may be a great dad and a good husband, but he let his distaste for a man that made him feel shit at hockey turn him into a bad friend. Hayden could see what he needed to do - he just had to think to himself what advice he would give his kids if they were in his shoes. Showing up for your friend and doing right is a thing of schoolyards and playgrounds, but this had more stakes than childish fights over balls and words. This choice could have a real cost, not just for him but for Jackie and the kids.
Some of his teammates were starting to head towards the showers and still none of them noticed Hayden had yet to move. Hayden decided the rubber on the floor was not going to magically present him another answer. Now was the time, and he needed to choose before the team began to file out and time would have made his choice for him.
Hayden took a deep breath, swallowed his nerves, stood up, and began to speak."
OR - How Hayden Pike helps the Voyagers learn to accept Shane. As captains of the two neighboring teams, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov help their teams become unlikely friends.

Closer (To God) by ixxzaccxxc

Tags
Summary
“The other guys always teased that they liked each other, that they were banging in the locker room showers or were trying to get married or something. Hayden didn’t really get it. Shane was his best friend. Of course they spent a lot of time together. He was Hayden’s favorite person, probably. Or at least one of them.”
In which: there are revelations, negotiations, and new beginnings.
Or: Shane didn’t mute the phone call. Hayden and Shane learn some things about themselves (or… remember? Stop ignoring?) and Ilya has an idea.
Or Or: The whole time Ilya and Shane were having their trysts, Shane and Hayden had something else going on. Neither of them could put a name to it, but apparently it’s not ‘best friend behavior’. Hayden just wants to know why Jackie never said anything.
(P.S. - this is a fic mostly following Shayden’s QUEERPLATONIC RELATIONSHIP. I cannot stress this enough. There is no romance between Shane and Hayden, but they’re more than ‘just friends’.)

Summary
"His skates edge caught wrong, shifted his weight, and he fucking fell down. The world tilted just enough.
That’s all it took.One bad second. One bad angle. The puck sliding away like it was never his to begin with.

I lost them the Cup.
The words belong to himself. They’re just there, sitting in his chest.
Why—
“What the fuck was that, Hollander?”"
