    Summary

    Ilya knows there is a thing about himself he has to always keep hidden in the deepest recesses of his body, behind his molars and in his core. He thinks Shane Hollander might be the same, except the thing about him he cannot hide.

    Ilya Rozanov is the biggest hockey talent of his generation. So is Shane Hollander.

    But over the years Ilya notices that the vicious media and the clamouring fans and some of his more foul-mouthed teammates treat Hollander differently than any other hockey player.

    Summary

    Hayden and JJ both look at each other, doing the same thing with their faces that Rose and Miles did.

    “Well, whatever you’re doing,” Hayden says, a slow grin spreading across his face, “keep doing it. Shane Hollander has a guy.”

    Shane coughs, choking on his own spit. “I have a what?”

    “A guy.” Hayden clarifies. “Like how I have an electrician guy and JJ has a concert guy. You have a club guy. This is your guy.”

    My guy, Shane thinks. He’s entirely too happy with that name for a very different reason.

    OR

    Shane Hollander has a problem: he has a huge, embarrassing crush on the bouncer who gets him and his friends free drinks and admission. And it's not because he likes Shane. It has nothing to do with his cute freckles or the adorable blush that creeps across his cheeks. He’s just being nice... right?

    Summary

    He’s not sure what he expects when he opens the box.

    From Shane Hollander, the stiff, unbending man who happens to match Ilya’s hockey expertise— if not challenge it —the guy who apparently reads hockey and history books, and whose father played as a goalie for the very university he’s studying under, Ilya is predicting the most menial out of his nature.

    Though what he does not consider, is the sight of a box filled to the very brim of sex toys.

    “Боже мой,” Ilya pants beneath his breath, raising a hand to—

    “—What are you doing?”

    Shane keeps a crucial part of himself hidden, and Ilya has a peculiarity for secrets.

    or; ilya finds shane's box of sex toys. chaos ensues.

    Summary

    "You suck at seducing targets," Ilya grits his teeth. "Remember Prichard's daughter?"

    Shane throws his hands up. "Oh come on! That was a long time ago."

    "Two weeks ago," Ilya fires back. "If fate of communism rests on you getting someone into bed we would all be dead."

    Or: hollanov spy!AU, where sexpot extraordinaire Ilya Rozanov and lethal intelligence officer Shane Hollander have to pose as normal, American college students by day and overthrow the U.S. government by night.

    Summary

    Following an afternoon of sex and tuna melts, Shane goes searching for the explicit rules of what being 'friends with benefits' entails. In his humble opinion, they're nailing it.

    Once friendship is on the table, Shane reconsiders the usefulness and immutability of the public rivalry narrative. Surely the NHL can make just as much money from a bromance as it can from a rivalry?

    A missed call from J.J., a dinner at All-Stars, and an ill-considered mad dash to the airport send Shane's season in a very different direction to the disciplined three-peat he'd been planning back in October.


    "This rivalry thing: it was everyone else who said we hated each other off the ice. There’s no rule that says we have to keep doing that forever.” Shane stared outside, past the blinding billboards and down at the streets below. “It was nice. Hanging out, last time.”

    He knew what it looked like when Rozanov shut down, when he closed himself off and pushed the world away. He’d finish the conversation abruptly, curt, clipped, and retreat. So Shane knew he’d won when Rozanov finally answered with: “Are we six years old, Hollander? Asking if I want to play in sandbox with you?"
