“I just,” David sighs. “I am just trying to understand.” He leans forward. “I did not mean to offend you when I said that you have a reputation. I just want to understand.”
or,
Maybe David Hollander didn't accept Ilya as immediately as we think he did. But it takes two minutes to realize just how in love with his son he is. -

Summary
“This isn’t real.”
Shane kisses the top of her head, “It is,” he says softly, “but it’s going to be okay.”
“You don’t know that.”
“I do. You’re my daughter, Nastya, I know your will. You won’t let this break you.” he says, and he says it so surely that it sounds like a truth already done. “The surgery will go well, you will keep up with the rehab afterward. You’ll be playing hockey within the year. Okay?”
or,
Anastasia Hollander Rozanova comes from greatness. She expects that of herself. And it's okay that so does everyone else. Really. It's fine. -

“What did you actually think?”
He can’t help it. He looks at Ilya. Ilya only stares at him. “I say that now, in hindsight. Back then, I wasn’t thinking. Not really. It would come to me in waves, the anxiety, the fear. Most of the time,” he says. “I was just…”
“Waiting for me to speak?” Ilya offers.
Shane shakes his head, “I was trying to make it to tomorrow with you alive.”
or,
Ilya and Shane work to find themselves, and each other, again after Ilya's suicide attempt.Series

Summary
"Mr. Hollander, with all due respect, there is a very clear difference here. No one is stopping you and Mr. Rozanov from doing whatever you want in your free time, but this is a workplace. Many players and fans feel uncomfortable watching that kind of behaviour-"
"Then they can close their eyes," Shane interrupted in a very uncharacteristic manner.
OR: Shane has been the NHL golden boy for 11 seasons, but some people are simply begging for a verbal slapdown. The internet reacts.

"Simp," Shane sniffed as he carefully removed himself from Ilya and went to grab his bag.
"Who the fuck taught you this?" Ilya frowned.
"Haas, he said that you are a simp for me."
"Slander,"

cardiac tamponade by asthestarsforetold

Summary
Cardiac tamponade: pressure on that heart that prevents it from filling and beating adequately.
Shane thought he knew two things: his move to Ottawa would cause chaos, and that the Ottawa Centaurs were nice.
As it turned out, he only knew one of those things.
(Or: the Cens are still a team of professional hockey players. They're going to fuck up.)

The Quiet Assist by Kiyominox

Summary
Shane has always believed survival meant discipline. Precision. Powering through the noise, the pressure, the parts of himself that never quite fit. Hockey gave him rules when the world didn’t, and he learned to excel inside that structure even as everything else scraped him raw.
Ilya notices what no one else does.
Quiet adjustments, steady presence, and the refusal to treat Shane’s needs like flaws. When the idea Shane has been running from finally takes shape, it doesn’t break him. It reframes everything. The anger. The exhaustion. The brilliance.
This is not a story about fixing what’s broken.
It’s about learning a language for the way Shane’s mind has always worked, and what becomes possible when he stops fighting it. It’s about love that makes room instead of taking space. About a rivalry that becomes partnership. And about what happens when understanding doesn’t just change a player, but reshapes the game itself.
Because some legacies aren’t written in records.
They’re written in who gets to stay.

Summary
Ilya died, yes, but then the doctors saved him. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the ambulance, three electric shocks, two emergency surgeries, twenty-six units of blood. Ilya died, but then he came back.
If only Shane could get his subconscious to understand that.

we're the product of love (that we do not receive). by Joooceee

Summary
Maybe together they could figure out a way to make sure Ilya was never afraid of David again. He really didn’t want to be afraid of David.
“Is… silly.” Ilya said. “Maybe not silly, but now that we are here and not there, I see it was silly. I broke the wine, and I thought - maybe everyone will be angry. And…” Clearing his throat, Ilya pushed past his discomfort to spit out the next part. “Well, angry back in Russia is not the same as angry here, I think.”
“What was angry like back in Russia?”
OR
Ilya drops a bottle of wine, and it's fine. Really, it's fine. If only someone could tell Ilya's brain that.
