Summary
“Fuck it,” He mutters in Russian before just pressing his thumb down onto the phone next to Hollander’s contact.
Ilya puts it onto speaker, listening to just up to the first half of the second ring before pressing the big red button, not letting it go on any longer.
Fuck.
He drops his phone and presses the palms of both of his hands to his eyes, trying to stabilize himself.
Ring.
His heart practically jumps out of his chest when he hears the sound coming from his phone. He looks down at where it’s sitting on the bed, the screen reads “Jane."
Fuck.
Out of panic, Ilya declines the call but quickly makes his way to his messages app, finding Hollander’s contact and typing out a quick few messages back to back.
Ilya: did not mean to call.
Ilya: was accident
Ilya: no need for call backIlya takes a deep breath and sets his phone back down only to be met with an immediate response from Hollander.

OR, 5 times Ilya had a nightmare & called Shane + the 1 time Shane was there to comfort him in person

Summary
Snorkel Town is an odd place.
When Ilya first told Shane that this place was called Snorkel Town, Shane was sure that Ilya was kidding. He thought, maybe, Ilya had forgotten the actual name and decided to make something up, since the town is known for its snorkelling exhibition.
That’s a very him thing to do.
But nope.
They arrive at the city line - as they’re heading to the address of the snorkeling lessons building, of course - and, on a very obnoxiously large, neon green sign reads, in neon pink, ”Welcome to Snorkel Town! Where each snorkel is hand crafted with care!”
The hand crafted snorkel part is in a much smaller font than the welcoming.
The sign is a giant snorkel.
It’s a little bit unsettling.
*
OR, Shane and Ilya decide to book a couples snorkeling session. Things go wrong. Everything turns out fine.

Summary
Okay, fuck, he really needs to get in contact with someone who knows something about whether or not his boyfriend is still breathing right now because he can't keep thinking like this. He squeezes his eyes shut, forcing the tears to go away and he calls his mom back, holding the phone up to his ear, hoping that she, somehow, has some kind of update for him; he knows that Ilya made Yuna her emergency contact a while ago, just in case, so if anybody is going to be able to tell him anything it’s going to be her.
Unless she hasn’t heard any news, unless he’s dead at the crash site and they can’t identify his body, unless they-
”He’s okay,” His mom says the moment she answers the phone, barely even letting it ring one time and, yeah, she really does know her son. She knows that that had to be the very first thing out of her mouth before anything, otherwise Shane would spiral.
(As if he hasn’t already been spiraling.)

OR, the plane from The Long Game actually crashes, Ilya gets injured, Shane rents a car to drive down to him, and he takes care of him.

The Case of the Missing Puck: Solved (and held over Hayden Pike's head) by Icantthinkofagoodusername7
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
02 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
“Where's the remote?” Shane asks in a slightly raised voice so that Ilya can hear him from the kitchen.
Ilya walks over, leaning against the doorway to watch as Shane looks in between the coach cushions, “Pike must have it.”
“What?” Shane takes the moment to stop what he’s doing and look up, his eyebrows furrowing together in that way that Ilya finds adorable, “Why would Hayden have it?”
“Because some people never change,” Ilya answers easily.
“What? He hasn’t taken anything before, he-”
Ilya shakes his head, standing fully straight again and walking over to behind the couch, leaning slightly forward so that he can look into Shane’s eyes when he says, “That is not true. The puck. 2017. He took it mid-game- mid-play! An attempt to sabotage and-”
Shane does a mixture of scoffing and laughing, picking up a pillow and throwing it at him, it bounces off of him easily, “Oh my god, Ilya, that was twenty five years ago! Let it go.”
*
OR, during one fateful game in 2017, the puck randomly disappears from the ice, Shane and Ilya accuse each other until it's found in Hayden's pant leg. Ilya does not let this go.

what a good job that your mother did by Icantthinkofagoodusername7

Summary
They’re only standing like that for about a minute, if even, when Hollander decides to make conversation, “So, uh, are your parents here with you?”
Ilya just nods. His mom is here with him, of course she is. She wouldn’t want to be anywhere else and Ilya doesn’t think he appreciates her enough for that, but he tries. As best as he can, at least.
“That’s nice, mine are too,” Hollander says quietly with a smile and they fall back into that earlier silence, listening just to those same sounds.
Skates on ice.
Sticks hitting pucks.
Each other’s breathing.
After a few minutes, Hollander awkwardly clears his throat and takes a step back, “Anyway, uh, I should probably go. My parents, they’re waiting on me, but um…” He trails off and Ilya notices the hesitation in his voice before he takes his hand out of his pocket and holds it out to Ilya again, smiling, “good luck in the tournament.”
*
OR, Grigori is the one to die when Ilya is 12, Irina lives, and this fic is how that's changed the plot.

Rules My Husband Has For Me (SUPER TRUE) (NOT CLICKBAIT) by Icantthinkofagoodusername7

Summary
“Along these same lines, Shane is the only one allowed in my phone. He does not let anybody else in my contacts. Because I am bisexual, you know, he considers me talking to anybody but him to be cheating-”
“-No I do not-”
“-So, I cannot have teammates or coach in there and definitely no friends. He does all of our communicating through his own phone. Is a little inconvenient but anything to make him happy, yes?”
“Ilya!” Shane shouts, “that is not true! Give me your phone right now, I’ll show them that you have more numbers in there and-”
“It is recording,” Ilya points at the camera, causing Shane to look over and just sigh while Ilya continues on, “But you see, everybody, he even wants to check my phone every single day to make sure I am not breaking this rule, you just saw it there.”
“That’s not what I meant!”

Summary
“So... that was my niece.”
“I heard,” Shane nodded, taking a few steps forward until he was right in front of Ilya, connecting their hands, “Are you okay?”
“Of course I am,” Ilya squeezed Shane’s hands, “She said she wants to come here. To stay with us. For summer, at least, maybe longer.”
Shane’s eyes moved quickly, scanning every inch of Ilya’s face and Ilya could feel it - the gaze and the emotion, carefully examining before asking, “Do you want that?”
“I-” Ilya cleared his throat, “It is up to you, Shane. I would love to have her here, to get to know her, but it is up to you. This is our home and it is our life and I-”
“I know, Ilya,” Shane’s voice was so soft that Ilya genuinely felt like he could melt in it, “but I’d love to have her here, too, if that’s what you want.”
Which is exactly why they’re currently parked in an airport parking lot, a week after that phone call took place, waiting for Katerina, whose plane just landed.
*
OR, in which Ilya's niece (Katerina) turns 18, gains access to the trust he created for her, starts to distrust her father, and ends up staying with Ilya and Shane in Canada for the summer.
