    Summary

    Ilya’s heart shattered. Tears sprang to his eyes, and he buried his face in Shane's neck to hide them, kissing him and whispering how much he loved him as Shane whined and begged and whimpered for something he couldn’t give him. It lasted for hours, no matter how hard Ilya fucked him or how many times he used the knotting toy. Shane was delirious, could not seem to comprehend that Ilya was a Beta, no matter how many times he reminded him, apologized to him, begged him with his eyes to please stop. When Shane finally passed out, Ilya sat up staring at the wall for hours.

    He’d finally figured it out, the one thing he could never give Shane, no matter how much he tried. There was no substitute, no toy that could compare. Ilya was lacking, and Shane knew it now, would come to his senses and realize Ilya couldn’t give him what he really needed. For the first time since his childhood, Ilya thought about dying. Not killing himself, never that, but maybe somehow going to sleep and not waking up.

    Or, Beta Ilya Rozanov loves Omega Shane Hollander so much it hurts. A hit on the ice changes everything between them, but not the one thing that matters.

    Summary

    Shane swivelled around, turning his attention to the staff spread around the studio, “You really don’t see it? Oh my god, how could anyone watch this and not immediately understand what’s going on.”

    The room fell silent. Shane launched up and stood next to the editor at the controls, “Go back a few secs. Wait a second… There it is. There!” The footage paused on a wide shot of the ice, a ref had begun to skate towards Ilya, directing him back to his bench.

    “Okay go forward just like, as slow as possible.” The editor did as instructed. “Shit, sorry, it’s so quick. Go back. Okay, forward. Stop! Look, right there.”

    He heard someone from the crew murmur, “Oh my god.”

    Shane’s voice broke as he ran his hands through his hair, “Yeah. So, now do you understand why I have to do this?”

    Or: Shane makes sure the documentary finishes differently and it's the most romantic thing Ilya Rozanov has ever seen.

    Summary

    Did you figure anything out? Shane writes, and flips the page around for Ilya to read it.

    Wont like the answer, Ilya’s written, in his quick hand.

    So he doesn’t have to take the pen back, Shane just shrugs. What?

    Ilya sits down at the desk for a steady surface to explain.

    3 things
    1 its curse. if true we can break it
    2 its spell. if true we can break it
    3 we are soulmates. if true we are fucked

    “No,” Shane mutters, before he can stop himself. Immediately, he slams a hand over his mouth.

    or: Ilya and Shane are soulmates, and their bond prevents them from both talking and being apart. Unfortunately, the only thing that’ll make the pain stop is confessing the one thing they can say: that they’re in love.

    Summary

    A world without marriage or sexuality labels, everyone is just waiting to shake hands with their soulmate. I put the canon in a blender and added a little recognition from elfquest. (Soul meets soul, when skin meets skin)
    ---------------
    Then Rozanov leaned in and Shane felt his breath catch in his throat. They weren't touching but the proximity alone was enough to make Shane's whole nervous system sizzle.

    “Can’t you feel it?” Rozanov whispered, his voice rough with desire.

    “No,” Shane lied.

    “I ache to touch you,” Rozanov almost moaned. His voice was so soft and full of need. Shane could feel his own body respond to it. He knew exactly how Rozanov felt.

    But he didn’t want to feel this way about this man. It should have been someone else. Anyone else.

    “We are nothing,” Shane said. “Go away, Rozanov.” And then he got into his car and drove away. He didn’t look in the rear view mirror as he left because he did not want to see the look on Rozanov’s face.

    Summary

    "You're supposed to smoke over there." Someone said from behind Ilya.

    Ilya almost dropped his cigarette. His English was shitty, but he had studied that sentence enough times over the years to understand it immediately. He didn't even think about his words much anymore, but it was impossible to avoid them.

    He turned instinctively, and was face to face with Shane fucking Hollander.

    Out of almost seven billion people, of course Ilya's soulmate had to be his fated rival. It was almost poetic. Still, Ilya had enough sense to realize just how bad this was.

    or, Shane says Ilya's soulmate words. Ilya vows to never speak a word to him to keep him from finding out. They fall in love anyway.

    Summary

    For a moment, nothing happens. Then, about thirty seconds later, Ilya blinks once, then again, his expression tightening as confusion slowly takes over, trying to make sense of something that’s supposed to be impossible. Shane immediately knows that he’s freaking out.

    You’re freaking out right now, aren’t you? Please don’t freak out. Because if you freak out, then I’m going to freak out.

    "What the fuck?" Ilya yells, as he jerks back like he’s been burned, his hand ripping away from Shane’s ankle. His irises dart left to right crazily, locked in on Shane’s face as he searches for something. Shane stays silent. "What the fuck was that?"

    OR: Shane and Ilya develop telepathy while being in a situationship. It goes as well as you’d expect.

    Summary

    Soulmarks are supposed to be a blessing, or so people say. Shane disagrees.
    They appear as the first words your soulmate will ever speak to you, written on your skin in your soulmate's handwriting.
    But Shane's is a simple and underwhelming "ok." So mundane he has long since stopped noticing the words when they're spoken to him.

    "I'm not sure you're supposed to smoke here" Shane said as he approached the Russian player.
    "Ok"

    Summary

    The unfamiliar place caused Shane’s breathing to quicken.
    What did he do last night? They weren’t due in Florida until tomorrow. He hadn’t gone out last night and he didn’t drink so why would he be in a random hotel room by himself?
    Shane immediately got up and almost tripped on a shoe that was laying carelessly on the ground. He was wearing nothing but boxers and he was sweating like someone had cranked up the heater. Montreal was cold but not cold enough to put the heat on fucking 80 degrees.

     

    He pulled the blinds open and his eyes widened when he noticed how bright outside was. He didn’t recognize the streets or the buildings and he most certainly didn’t recognize the hotel room he was in.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander was perfect; the perfect son, the perfect boyfriend, the perfect friend. He had spent years refining perfection, making sure he was the picture of it. It was second nature after all these years; a suit that didn’t quite fit, but that he’d gotten used to.
    Enter Ilya Rozanov.

    Summary

    Scent patches were mandatory for anyone participating in World Junior's, but a lot of the Russian guys Shane saw in the hotel or around the rink had them loosely attached to their necks or not quite centered over their scent gland. Shane had been on his way to his parents' car when the wind shifted, and he smelled that Rozanov, leaning against the wall and not-at-all-surreptitiously fishing a carton of cigarettes out of his pocket, must have been one of them.

    Summary

    At thirty-five, Shane Hollander finally makes the long-postponed decision: retirement from hockey and signing up at the soulmates office to find himself a lifelong partner. The most beautiful thing about it? He will never, ever have to deal with that asshole Rozanov again.

    Ilya Rozanov, after years of chaotic living and no-strings-attached hookups, also makes the long-postponed decision: retirement from hockey, because he heard Hollander is retiring, and what’s the fun without teasing him, and signing up at the soulmates office to find himself a lifelong partner.

    Both of them are completely unaware of the fact that fate—or some very thorough algorithm—has already matched them as soulmates. And on a side note, Shane Hollander may be oblivious to the fact that Ilya Rozanov doesn’t actually mind this decision nearly as much as Shane thinks he would.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is a hockey legend known as "The Golden Alpha of Canada:" and Captain of the Montreal Voyagers. To the roaring crowds, he’s cocky, dominant, untouchable Alpha they want in a hockey star. Yet, behind every goal, Shane hides a secret that could destroy everything he's built up. He isn’t an Alpha at all. Born Omega in a world where Omegas are sidelined from traditional "Alpha" sports, Shane’s entire career is built on a lie: daily suppressants, fake scent, relentless self-control. The cost is soul-deep exhaustion and the constant fear that a single mistake will cost him not just his trophies, but his identity.

    Enter Ilya Rozanov, known as “The Dirty Russian” by fans and foes alike, a brutal, magnetic Alpha who’s battled his own demons to make it on the Voyager team. Growing up in the shadow of an abusive father who threw him into sports to "make me fucking rich", Ilya learned to survive by being harder, meaner, and utterly unbreakable. Hockey is his way out, but family obligations and old scars still chain him down..

    When a chance encounter lets Ilya see Shane for who he truly is, both men are forced to confront the walls they’ve built, around their histories, their bodies, and their hearts.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander always had a strategy. He had a strategy for winning the Cup, a strategy for managing the press, and a strategy for keeping his relationship with his rival-turned-boyfriend, Ilya Rozanov, strictly in the dark. He really was good at managing it all… Right up until the moment a medical impossibility turned into a positive pregnancy test, and the only man Shane ever loved asked him to do the one thing he couldn’t: tell the truth.

    Five years post-breakup, Shane is technically winning. He has the trophies, the privacy, and their brilliant daughter, Airi. And he is perfectly co-parenting with his ex, Ilya Rozanov. The rules are simple: minimal contact, polite text messages about their daughter, and absolutely no acknowledging about their past.

    Until Yuna Hollander decides to intervene. Suddenly, the ocean Shane put between them is gone. Shane’s new strategy is simple: survive seven days with Ilya without falling apart.

    Summary

    Hayden ran up, grabbed his hand and said in his dad-of-a-kid-having-a-meltdown voice “Hey, hey, it’s going to be okay Shane. They’re going to take good care of you. That appendix is going to come right out and you’ll be back in no time.”

    Shane’s teary eyes widened and then narrowed.

    “What?” he gasped out between shallow breaths.

    “Fuckin' hell, I told him not to say that.” the doctor muttered.

    “What do you mean? It’s not his appendix? What’s going on?”

    “Hollander is in labor and the baby is coming very soon, so Pike please let the EMT’s load him up. He’s going to Montreal General. We called his parents and they’re on their way.”

    ______________________________

    Shane Hollander had been under a lot of stress lately, coming out to his team, supporting his secret boyfriend, ect. So something may have slipped through the cracks and was now going to make itself known right here on the ice of this Ottawa vs. Montreal game.
