We All Get Our Bell Rung A Second Time, Right? by shewritesstuffhere

Summary
When Gilbert Comeau targets Shane on the ice, causing a season-ending injury, Ilya sees red and nearly loses everything he ate at dinner.
It was a dirty hit; they all knew it. Ilya, devastated by Shane's injuries that left him semi-conscious in a hospital bed, learns what it means to have a family and what "for better or worse" meant in his wedding vows. His days are full of misunderstandings with his mother-in-law, panic, caring for his husband, and seeing his team step up for his family in times of injury.
Or: Shane gets a concussion, breaks his ankle, Ilya is a Very Good Husband (and a very angry captain), the Centaurs step up, and Anya is a very protective pup.

Bookmarker's Notes
An incredible examination of humanity in the face of personal terror and grief, and what it looks like to fuck up and repair and show up even if it's imperfectly messy.
Love this work.

Summary
Shane is heavier than he used to be; his weight bears down on Ilya in a new way. He’s put on pounds of muscle since Ilya last touched him like this. Ilya flattens his palms, skims them under Shane’s undershirt, feels the flat solidity of his abs, the bulk of his lats, the swell of his chest. It’s the same and it’s new, this body; it’s the boy he couldn’t stop thinking about when he was 18 and the man he loved enough to let go at 26 and the person who somehow always comes to find him when he’s lost.
A stranger, and the love of his life.
—
or, Ilya's father doesn't die in 2017; Ilya breaks up with Shane instead of confessing his love. They get older, but not any less stupid about each other. Shane gets a boyfriend; Ilya gets on medication; they work on becoming whole people. And they always find their way back to each other.
OR a story for those who love Shane and Ilya's baby love but ALSO think it's hot when people in their thirties make active choices about who they are and what they want in their partner!!
Note: the "cheating" tag refers to the relationship between Shane and his aforementioned BF, not to Shane and Ilya cheating on each other.

Hollander, Baby by novel_di

Summary
It’s 2023, and Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov (almost) have it all: they’re married, they’re playing for the Ottawa Centaurs, they’ve already won a Stanley Cup together.
But there's one other thing they've always wanted.
And no, it's not for Shane to get pregnant, okay? Ilya was only joking about that.
They just want a baby using real-world, reproductive medicine. Yes, Shane and Ilya have learned what IVF is.
And it goes like this.
Or:
Shane and Ilya’s three-year IVF journey to parenthood, feat. egg donor Svetlana, gestational carrier [name redacted but you can guess], Ilya's baby name list, Shane's first drag brunch, lovable dummy Hayden Pike, Anya's first ferry boat ride, a chapter of Yuna POV, pansexual Rose Landry, a 5+1 of pregnancy announcements (chapter 11, I die for you), and eventual #girldad life.
Or:
The "I want to have kids with you" fic I wanted to see in the world.

One of those pieces you know you'll return to even if it remains a perma-wip.
