When I Agreed To Marry My Boss For His Visa by Countessofhogwarts

Summary
Ilya was about to be promoted to the head of the Boston office for Lockhart Gardner publishings in Toronto. If only his visa wasn't expired.
Shane was his long suffering assistant who'd just been passed for a promotion. And who had to just cancel going home for his grandmother's 90th birthday. BUT. He was Canadian.
Ilya needed a visa, Shane needed a promotion. What if they married each other and solved two problems with one ring?

Summary
Shane wants to figure out if he's gay before he gets drafted—and no, the way he felt when Ilya Rozanov smirked at him with a cigarette between his lips in Saskatchewan has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, the random guy he hooks up with to try and make sure one way or another takes a picture, and Shane gets outed before the draft. In the ensuing scandal, he goes seventh overall, to Ottawa.
It turns out, having the worst thing you can think of happen to you when you're seventeen years old can end up being pretty liberating. And land you an unexpected best friend.

Summary
It’s dark, and Ilya’s not quite sure where he is.
His entire body is numb. His shoes are soaking wet from trudging lazily through the snow. His nose is running, and his lips are chapped.
Selfishly, he wishes Shane would fuss over him now. Pull him close, whisper “I forgive you” even though he shouldn’t, because Ilya would never change, because something inside him- in his family line, in his soul- was broken.
Ilya wondered how long ago it had clicked- when Shane had realized that Ilya wormed his way into this country and tricked the Hollanders into caring for him, then returned the favor by botching their language and leaving a trail of mess in his wake. He still can't help but wonder if that will be part of his punishment- being doomed to miss him in death, too.
or: Ilya’s mostly been able to cope with the fact that he’ll never be able to articulate himself fully in this country- but he’s also never been good at talking about feelings in the first place.
"I'm tired" is the best he's got. It definitely doesn't capture what's going on in his head, and Shane can't read minds.

Summary
After the Tuna Meltdown, Ilya and Shane never rekindle things at All Star Weekend 2017.
A series of losses (no MCD, don’t worry) to Ilya’s life in Boston lead to him signing with the Buffalo Blizzards.
Although single, Shane comes out to his team. The Voyageurs are less than supportive. Montreal trades him to Buffalo in exchange for first draft pick in 2018.
When practice starts in September, things are awkward but fine.
But it’s Buffalo, so of course there is a big snowstorm, which leads to 48 hours of forced proximity.Series

Summary
The Boston Bears group chat had sixty-three new messages in the span of three minutes.
His coffee forgotten, Ilya swiped open the chat, scrolling quickly to find the source of the commotion. A link to The Athletic, posted by Jensen, their captain, followed by a string of exclamation points. Ilya tapped it, the headline materializing on his screen like a blow to the chest:
BREAKING: MONTREAL VOYAGEURS’ SECOND DRAFT SHANE HOLLANDER ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
Ilya's pulse jumped, hard and sudden in his throat. The mug slipped from his hand, not falling but landing too heavily on the counter, coffee slopping over the rim. He set it down properly, his movements mechanical, and forced himself to read the rest of the headline:
20-YEAR-OLD ROOKIE OF THE YEAR STEPPING AWAY TO PURSUE HARVARD BUSINESS DEGREE
Or
Shane Hollander has spent his entire life living and breathing hockey. At twenty, at the height of his career, he makes an unthinkable choice: he walks away to discover who he is beyond the ice.
But some things don’t stay behind.
What happens when the rivalry between him and Rozanov ends, but the pull doesn’t?

Summary
What if Shane never got injured?
What if Ilya decided to finally take a step back?
What if the 5th best player of MLH was suddenly spotted hanging out hockey's golden boy Shane Hollander?
What if Ilya had a few feelings about it?—×—
Ilya is aware of Sebastian Hawthorne like he's aware of all the top 10 players of the league. Though he knows no one can come close to him and Hollander, he still likes to keep an eye out for them.
Hawthorne, or as his teammates call him, Hawk, joined the Toronto Guardians during his Rookie season and has been there for the past six seasons. He's the assistant captain.
“It's like he’s already seen the play unfold five seconds ahead,” Shane had once complained to Ilya over the phone after a particularly nasty loss against the Guardians some seasons back. Ilya then got the impression that Shane didn't like him either.
So imagine his surprise when the picture of Hollander and Hawk shows up on his feed: laughing and practically having the time of their lives while leaving a high-end bakery.

In a pawn shop in Montreal, a bag of used golf clubs is sold to a famous hockey player.
Less than an hour later, another, different famous hockey player’s car is vandalized. In Montreal. With golf clubs.
The common thread between these two events is simple. One of these hockey players is bad at lying to himself. The other is even worse.

Summary
Shane should be here right now, should be in Ilya’s house. Ilya should be teasing him about being picky while going through delivery options for food on his phone. Shane should be discovering that Ilya has ginger ale in the fridge and the protein bars Shane mentioned liking in an interview in his pantry. He should be making out with Shane on the couch, sneaking a hand into his pants, teasing him about whether they can beat the deliveryman and arrive before he does. Shane was supposed to spend the night tonight, the Montreal team not set to leave until tomorrow afternoon because of potential bad weather in the morning. Shane should be fed and showered and ready to curl up in bed with Ilya tonight.
But Shane is in a hospital.And Ilya is here.
He pulls up Jane in his phone again. He presses call.
“Hey, you’ve reached Shane Hollander-”
Ilya closes his eyes and lets Shane’s voice roll over him.

Ilya is learning how to feel again.
Both are learning how to trust.But when the truth about their pasts threatens to surface, they’ll have to decide whether they can face it together — or lose each other trying.

Summary
Ottawa, 2010.
Canada wins the championship, and Shane slips away from the overwhelming celebration for some peace and quiet.
Russia loses, and Ilya runs from his father’s furious disappointment to have a panic attack in the stairwell.
Neither boy is really looking for company, but for a tentative few hours in the middle of the night, they find solace, acceptance and a first kiss, first time prelude to something heated and risky in each other’s arms.
****
Ilya leaned in with lips pursed and Shane jerked away, “Whoa! What the hell are you doing?”
“You do not want kiss?” Ilya frowned. “You stare at my mouth all night, same as after draft. I thought you wanted kiss.”
“No.” Shane’s eyes were wide. “That’s insane.”
“Okay.” Ilya stood up, hiding how bad the rejection hurt. “I misunderstand. Sorry. Do not worry, I will not say anything about–”
“Wait.” Shane’s grabbed Rozanov’s arm at the last second, gathering all his courage, “Y-yes.”
“Yes.” Ilya repeated. “What is yes?”
“I mean yes.” Shane pulled him back in slowly, carefully, his heart racing. “Kiss me?”

“Has Shane Hollander ever fought anybody?”
No, Ilya answers petulantly as he rewinds the clip. He wishes that Hollander had fought him on ice the last time they’d played. Really, if the world was going to bear witness to Hollander losing his shit on ice, wouldn't it have been more fitting for it to be at him? The details of this strange scenario flood his imagination as Ilya stews in his envy. He wonders what it would be like for Hollander to hit him. Ilya would like it, he’s sure, however painful it’d be.
He wonders if Hollander would like it, too, and if he’d like Ilya to hit back. The answers come to him quickly, as if fed to him by the man himself.
Yes and yes.
Ilya goads Shane into punching him during a game. What happens next will warm your heart.

Summary
Each moment felt as if they were running from one place to the next. Chasing feelings they barely knew the names of and grasping at gaps in time. Holding on to them and fitting them into the most unlikely of places. They had an hour at this hotel, a single week at Ilya's apartment, a long weekend at Shane’s cottage. Each meeting was ephemeral, just as their relationship was proving to be.
Just as Shane Hollander was proving to be.
OR Shane and Ilya discover just how prominent gun violence can be in spaces with large crowds.
