Summary
The airport looks like it always does. A sea of people oblivious to anything going on around them. Ilya is about to put his headphones over his ears when he sees something so familiar his brain almost doesn't register it. That is until he realizes that he's in fucking Moscow so this doesn't make any sense.
Because right there at the gate, spread out over several chairs, his duffle bag as a pillow, is the figure of Shane Hollander sleeping. The hood of his sweatshirt is up and he's wearing sunglasses, but Ilya would recognize the shape of Shane Hollander anywhere.
“Hollander?” he asks in shock, stepping closer.
Or, Shane shows up in Russia after learning Ilya's father died. Ilya did not ask him to do this. He just showed up. And now Ilya doesn't know what to do with himself. He proceeds to just go with it, and maybe listen to Shane for once.
Another song inspired fic, this time Ever the Same by Rob Thomas which I argue is underrated.

Summary
“Two losses in a row,” Bood shook his head. “That must be a new record for the great Shane Hollander.”
Shane snorted. “Yeah. I have it in our Prenup actually that if we lose three games in a row I get to divorce Ilya and keep everything. So if we lose against Detroit, I’m filing for divorce.”
The team surrounding Shane burst into laughter and continued on with their post game routine, removing gear and taking showers. While Ilya’s world silently fell apart.
Or, Ilya hears Shane joking about divorce and takes it seriously. He does not handle it well.

Any yet, Ryan wanted.
But could he want Naim Reid enough to be brave.
A retelling of the Leviticus film from Ryan's point of view.

Summary
Shane Hollander is the guy standing beside every wedding, delivering every speech, and fixing every crisis. He’s indispensable to everyone else’s happiness… except no one ever really asks what he wants for his own.
Until Ilya Rozanov, a cynical journalist with a dismissive view of marriage and everything it represents, crosses paths with Shane and decides to use his life as the subject of a feature on the “eternal best man,” a stepping stone toward more serious journalistic work, without Shane ever suspecting his intentions.

Summary
“I lodged the forms online straight after the draft, so I’m not sure why there’s an issue. It’s clear that Rozanov is Shane’s enemy.”
“Rival, Mom. He’s not my enemy, he’s just — a rival.”
It’s not like soulmates, where your mark gives you an identifying clue of who the person is so there’s no doubt when you make it official. The two marks together form some kind of cohesive picture; two halves of a whole. They’re a lot smaller than they appear in movies, that’s what surprised Shane. The mark appears around the time you become acquainted with your soulmate, whatever that means. He found his tiny hockey stick mark on his inner elbow the day after the draft picks. He hasn’t told his Mom yet that his soulmate is hockey itself, but it wouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.
But the thing is. Every action must have an equal and opposite reaction. If you have a soulmate, you must have a rival. It’s some kind of karmic balance in the universe that no one can really explain.
