    Summary

    Shane is in a post-game interview when his world stops.

    He’s just answered a question about Montreal’s offensive strategy going into the game. Clean passes, avoid penalties, draw defenders wide. It had worked and the Voyagers had beat Colorado soundly, 4-1. Shane had scored two of the goals and assisted on a third.

    Usually, Shane would be eager to boast about the win to Ilya. But ever since their fight- since Ilya told Shane to leave- winning feels hollow. Losing feels better, somehow. As if Shane deserves to lose after being so selfish. Ilya gave up everything for him- his home, his team, and to some extent- his happiness. Hockey. Ilya gave up hockey- good hockey- for Shane.

    A ripple goes through the room of reporters. Shane swears he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘crash’. But no one is paying attention to him anymore.

    “What’s going on?” he asks into the microphone, feeling strange at the role reversal. Usually, he’s the one being asked questions.

    No one answers. And this time he knows that he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘Centaurs’.

    ------------------------------------------

    Shane rushes to Ilya after the almost plane crash. Their secret is no longer a secret.

    Summary

    At twelve years old, Shane Hollander learned how to shoot a gun.
    At eighteen, he was drafted into the NHL.
    For most of his life, he's believed those two things could exist separately.
    He is wrong.

    Yuna Hollander is one of the most revered mob bosses in North America. (It changes nothing) (It changes everything).

    The Yakuza!Yuna AU that I can't get out of my head.

    Summary

    After the first time, Ilya stays the night at Shane's apartment. In the morning there's a knock on the door...Yuna and David are here to take Shane to brunch.
    Ilya never imagined Shane would invite him along...or that Yuna would become his sponsorship agent, or that Jackie Pike would catch them, or that David would clock them...

    An AU with cuteness, fluff, angst, silliness and references to other events in the show and the books. No spoilers though.

    *Chapters 1 to 5 are different POVs on The Brunch Event, then the AU continues from there*

    Summary

    There are so many things these days that Nikolai Petrov can’t believe. He can’t believe he’s actually going to get to play professional hockey. Can’t believe he isn’t going to be relegated to some second rate Russian league in Moscow. But most of all, he can’t believe that he’s standing on Ilya Rozanov’s doorstep. 

    ---

    The Ottawa Centaurs have a new Russian rookie - the first Russian rookie Ilya's ever had, and Ilya is determined to make him feel welcome. Petrov finds that Rozanov and Hollander aren't at all what he expected (Hollander is somehow even more Canadian than he thought possible), but they somehow make him feel just a little more at home in this strange new country.
