    Summary

    In a lot of ways, Shane Hollander is uniquely qualified to survive the end of the world.

    Not that the world is actually ending.

    Probably.

    The news rotates between saying it is and saying it isn’t, and Shane does his best to ignore it. His teammates sometimes chatter about it, in the locker room or during breaks at practice. It’s come up with his parents more than once, but he brushes it off, changes the subject. Doesn’t engage.

    Just a virus. Like the flu. Highly contagious. Not lethal. Not a big deal.

    or, the zombie au fic where the author forces them to admit their feelings under the high pressured stakes of the zombie apocalypse. Because the story isn't about zombies, it's about true love and found family. But also it's sometimes about zombies. And just like the real Heated Rivalry, it's rarely about hockey.

    Summary

    "Listen, Mr. Rozanov." The general manager is talking out of the side of his mouth, his cigarette dropping ashes all over the hotel table. "We like you. We want you. We understand you are putting yourself under a fair amount of risk here, meeting with us like this. I hope it's obvious that if you play for us, we will set you up for a good life in Canada."

    He pauses, looks Ilya in the eye. "But you have to understand, if you agree to this, you have to be prepared to leave with us right now."

    Summary

    June 2010. Ilya Rozanov is delayed after the CCM shoot. By the time he gets to the locker room, Shane Hollander is out of the showers and Ilya’s entire plan is ruined.
    Only not quite fully ruined. Hollander invites him to dinner with his parents as a thank you for arranging the shoot and Ilya, in a burst of insanity, agrees. He hits it off with Yuna and David. They all exchange numbers. He and Hollander become friends.
    At no point does Ilya stop wanting more from him.

    June 2016. Ilya Rozanov is a superstar. A Cup winner. An MVP. Women want him, men want to be him. He’s fucking miserable.
    He’s in love with his best friend. He can’t deny it anymore. Only now Shane is dating a movie star and happier than Ilya’s ever seen him. Ilya can’t ruin that for him, can’t ruin their friendship by asking for what he knows Shane can’t give. No matter how much it kills him.

    A charity event in San Francisco. A catastrophic computer failure. A fateful decision to drive, not fly. Two days in a car, just the two of them. Alone. Together.
    Ilya’s sick with excitement and with dread, because how can he keep his secrets with Shane so close for so long?

    What he doesn’t know is that Shane has secrets too.
