Summary
Shane returns from the showers to find the locker room far more animated than when he left it. Everyone has their phones out, and when he sees Shane coming, JJ says, “Câlisse, Hollander, about fucking time! Ilya Rozanov got caught kissing a man.”
After the tuna melt debacle, but before Rose, Ilya makes the reckless decision to go to a gay bar to take his mind off of Shane. When photographs get published, Shane has a realization and devises a plan: he's going to ask Ilya Rozanov to marry him.
Ilya's going through enough without things he can't have being dangled in front of him. He needs to figure out a different way to avoid going home, because eventually Shane Hollander will realize what Ilya already knows: Ilya isn't worth what Shane wants to do for him.

Summary
Just a little fix it fic. Shane doesn’t end up leaving Ilya’s house. Some things are the same/similar. This should basically fit in between tuna melts and Tampa Bay.
Credit to Jacob Tierney/Rachel Reid where I’ve used dialogue direct from the show.
"Looking at him now though, it was very clear that Shane definitely had absolutely no intention of staying. He didn’t even appear to be paying attention to his surroundings. He was focusing so hard on putting his own clothes back on and getting the hell out of there. He was reaching for his leather jacket now and Ilya was running out of time.”

Summary
“You are so pretty, Hollander. Your freckles err— take my breath.”
Shane glares. “Rozanov, you can’t say that here,” he says through gritted teeth. “They can hear us.”
“Who gives a fuck?” He declares with a careless shrug. “Whole world knows we are lovers, so what?”
The world most definitely does not need to know that he’s on Ilya’s extensive fuck buddies roster.
Or
According to Ilya, Shane is the best boyfriend anyone could ask for. If you ask Shane, he’ll tell you they are just fuck buddies.

Summary
Shane's supposed to meet Ilya in room 1221, but a wrong number lands him at Scott's door instead. What starts as an accident becomes something Shane didn't know he needed—someone who understands, who doesn't hide, who makes him feel like he can be honest.
One night changes everything. Now Shane wants more than stolen moments in dark hotel rooms. He wants this—both of them. And Ilya, finally realizing what he stands to lose, is ready to fight for him too.

Love me again by Lyria_Red

Summary
Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are solid.
Married. Stable. Established. The NHL’s favorite “we didn’t see that coming” love story turned domestic success.
They have a house. A dog that likes Ilya better. A shared calendar that Shane actually uses.
They’ve learned how to grocery shop without arguing about brands of pasta.
They are, objectively, fine.
Which is precisely the problem.
Somewhere between sponsorship shoots, playoff runs, and arguing over whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher, the fire that once burned hot enough to survive secrecy and rivalry has… softened. Not gone. Not broken. Just familiar.
Comfortable. Predictable.When a league marketing campaign crowns them “Hockey’s Ultimate Love Story” and assigns a documentary crew to follow them around for the season, Shane jokingly tells Ilya:
“Guess you’re going to have to fall in love with me again on camera.”Ilya smirks. “Please. I could make you fall in love with me again in one week.”
It’s a joke.
Until it becomes a challenge.
