    Summary

    Ilya was going to murder him.

    He should have just corrected Scott. Should have said, "No, that's my best friend, we grew up together." Simple. But instead he'd agreed to bring his nonexistent boyfriend on the trip like an idiot.

    How was he going to talk Ilya into this?

    -or-

    The one where Shane accidentally lets his coworkers assume Ilya is his boyfriend and instead of telling them the truth, he convinces Ilya to play along for the weekend.

    Summary

    Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”

    “Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.

    He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.

    A year after mysteriously dropping out of the 2009 draft, Shane Hollander is signed by the Boston Raiders, right behind Ilya Rozanov. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston — but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.

    Summary

    Five years ago, Shane left his hometown in pursuit of his career. He left his parents, his friends, his life, and a husband, who woke up one morning to find him gone—all to start a new life for himself.

    Now, Shane has everything he could possibly want and more. His career as a musician has taken off: he’s rich, he’s famous, he’s surrounded by a group of some of the best friends he could’ve asked for, and he has a very perfect boyfriend.

    Everything in his life is going according to plan, until said perfect boyfriend proposes, and Shane is forced to acknowledge the fact that he is, legally, still married. Though not by choice of course, but rather because his “husband” has sent back every single set of divorce papers unopened, and unsigned.

    Or: The Sweet Home Alabama AU that no one asked for, starring Shane and Ilya. To be clear, this is an AU adaptation of the 2002 Movie Sweet Home Alabama ONLY which is the only inspiration for this fic <3
