The Rozanov Rose: No Feelings, No Exceptions. 🌹❤️🌹 by DjingisAttila
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types, Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
16 Jun 2026

Summary
🌹"No questions. No feelings. Just because we want to."🌹
Shane Hollander is a PhD student who knows how to stay invisible.
Ilya Rozanov is Montreal’s most arrogant hockey star—brilliant, reckless, and incapable of following rules he didn't make himself.It should be easy to walk away.
Instead, it becomes something quiet and hidden—late nights, closed doors, and a version of Ilya no one else gets to see. Shane carries his secrets inked beneath the roses winding across his skin, a constant reminder that some things survive only as long as they remain sub rosa.
Ilya doesn’t do feelings.
Shane was never meant for something like this.But he stays. And he falls anyway, caught between stolen moments and borrowed time.
And when it finally falls apart, Ilya might realize too late what it means when there’s nothing left to hold onto—and that this time, love might not be enough to bring Shane back.
(fake dating • secrecy • loving someone who was never going to choose you • happy ending, I promise 💔➡️❤️ • 🔥🔥🔥)

Summary
“I’m sorry I’m not him,” Shane says, looking away.
“Who?”
“Future me. Whoever you fell in love with.” What’s unsaid hangs in the air: whoever fell in love with you. Because this Shane – 2010 Shane – doesn’t love him. Is amused by their daily lessons, comforted by his presence, even grateful. But love?
“That’s the thing, Shane,” Ilya says. His eyes are shining. “You are, right now, exactly who I fell in love with.”
In 2031, Shane wakes up in the hospital certain that it's 2010. Ilya is there to remind him of the two decades he's missed and the life they've built along the way.

Ilya Rozanov's Guide to Reinforcing the Closet by pink_starfish
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
12 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
“Are you… are you saying that you want to be in a relationship with Shane Hollander?” The room held a sort of tension, like everyone in it was holding their breath, waiting for Ilya to vehemently deny it.
The reporter had taken his words in the complete opposite way than Ilya had meant them, but he supposed he was too committed to stop now. “Of course not.”
“Of course.” The reporter parroted, laughing nervously.
“Obviously, we are already in a relationship.”
—
In Ilya’s rookie season, he impulsively jokes about dating Shane to an invasive reporter. Then, he just… keeps doing it, since publicly announcing it enough times that everyone writes it off as a joke is a great way to hide a clandestine relationship.

Summary
When Shane takes a hard hit on the ice, he wakes up three days later to find his reality has been shattered. But the truth is, it wasn’t reality at all. Just an elaborate set of false memories conjured by a brain injury. 'False memory syndrome' they call it. Shane calls it a nightmare he couldn't have imagined.
Or
Shane doesn’t have amnesia. Instead, he wakes up wanting his boyfriend only to realize his brain concocted a bunch of fake memories of a nine year situationship and Shane has no idea how to live in his actual reality that Ilya hasn’t been a part of. Luckily, Ilya is…curious.

Summary
Mother’s Weekend is supposed to be joyful—team dinners, proud moms, and a little slice of home on the road. For Shane, it’s familiar. For Ilya, it’s a reminder of everything he’s lost.
When a small moment hits Ilya harder than he expects, Shane realizes he can’t leave him to face it alone. So he sends Yuna to Calgary—quietly, lovingly—giving Ilya something he hasn’t had in years: someone in his corner, like a mom would be.

Summary
Shane makes a drunken mistake in the name of protecting his carefully constructed closet, his life explodes in spectacular fashion. Suddenly faced with an unplanned pregnancy, a movie-star girlfriend, and a team of publicists convinced that "devoted family man" is a better headline than "gay hockey player," Shane commits himself to a future that looks perfect on paper. The only problem is that his heart still belongs to Ilya Rozanov—the man he left behind a few months earlier with a broken heart, several unresolved feelings, and a belly button full of cum.
Featuring an unforgettable supporting cast of ridiculous characters—including the endlessly supportive Rose, a delightfully meddling book club of old biddies who adopt Ilya as one of their own, and a sweet baby who changes all of their lives—this is a funny, emotional story about parenthood, forgiveness, grief, healing, and two grown men who could have avoided most of their problems by having one honest fucking conversation.
Don’t love the premise? I promise the delivery won’t disappoint. DO IT! I dare yah!

Summary
After the longest season of his career, Ilya retreats to the cottage with Shane, expecting rest, recovery, and a month of stolen peace. Instead, exhaustion lingers. Small things feel wrong. And the body that has always carried him through pain begins to falter in ways he can’t explain.
As concern grows and outside eyes begin to notice, the life Ilya and Shane have carefully built—careers, borders, futures—starts to feel fragile. When a medical crisis shatters their summer before answers arrive, love is no longer something they protect quietly. It becomes something they fight with.
A story about what happens when the body speaks before you’re ready to listen, and the people who refuse to let you face it alone.

What A Beautiful Face I Have Found In This Place by Hellobeany
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
25 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
"“I found a little spot while I was waiting around yesterday. It's where I set up my camp. It's a little ways off from the main area. More trees. More privacy.”
“I will follow you anywhere so long as you suck my dick when we get there,” Ilya answers honestly.
Normally he'd be embarrassed to be so open with a near-stranger. He's a forthcoming guy but he often likes to play coy, the chase being a thrilling part of foreplay.
But something about being on the trail like this, the easy and casual nature between them, it just feels pointless to play games.
They're both just two men who find each other hot and are on similar adventures with nothing to lose."
Or, Shane decides he's tired of not feeling in control of his own life, and after college graduation he makes the bold decision to hike as much as he can of the Pacific Crest Trail in 3 months on his own. Ilya Rozanov also just graduated college and feels aimless, so he and his friend Cliff decide to hike the entire PCT together. Shane and Ilya meet on the trail. No slow burn here!

I'd Like To Say How Beautiful I Think You Are by Hellobeany

Summary
“You heard me. Truth or dare?” Hollander asks, crossing his arms over his chest. His breath ghosts over Ilya's ear, causing a shiver to run up his spine despite the heat inside.
Ilya is not often surprised. He doesn't like surprises. He is usually the one who is causing chaos around him, bringing a tornado of mayhem with him wherever he goes. If he is the one starting shit then it can't sneak up on him. Then he can't be caught off guard. Can't be caught gaping like he is now, like an idiot.
He tries to regain what's left of his composure. Save some face, if he ever had any.
---
Or, a bunch of tipsy hockey players play a slightly homoerotic game of Truth or Dare and Ilya becomes very jealous at the idea that Shane has sent nudes to someone who isn't him. Both men proceed to crash out into a spiral of possessiveness and jealousy.

Summary
Hi Ilya,
My name is Shane! I don’t speak Russian, I hope that’s okay. I’m also 25 years old and I love hockey too! So we have some things in common.
I’ve never written an inmate before. I don’t really know why I’m doing this. I guess I’m lonely. I’m not very good at making friends or dating. I think maybe I can be a bit awkward in person, but I’m good at writing. So I hope that’s okay.
or Shane Hollander finds Ilya Rozanov on WriteAPrisoner.com and sends him an email.

Summary
Shane Hollander never got that concussion, and Ilya Rozanov breaks up with him. Shortly after, Shane suffers a career ending injury. They don’t speak again.
Of course, stories don’t end like that. At least not theirs. When Shane adopts a little girl with familiar curls and deep blue eyes, Shane writes letters to Ilya, imagining he was with him, raising the girl together.
Movers get things mixed up. Letters get sent. And after 4 years of no contact, Ilya moves to Ottawa to see Shane again. The only question is—will Shane let him in? Or is he still just as scared as he was in 2017?

another day, another struggle by blushgush

Summary
Shane Hollander’s hopes for the NHL were ripped from him by an ACL tear and replaced with doctor prescribed opioids at age 18. Four years later, hockey is a distant memory and his days consist of strange men and chasing a feeling drugs can never seem to provide anymore.
Ilya Rozanov’s family returned home to Russia when his father’s mental state deteriorated and the government wasted no time snatching back his work visa. Ilya stayed behind in that godforsaken city to do the only thing he had ever been able to support his family doing: sell dope.
Ilya sees a lot of sad people. Shane sees a lot of horny men. Neither of them are prepared for what they see in each other, and what it means for the boxes they’ve allowed themselves to be put into.

Summary
“Ilya, what are we gonna do?” Shane says.
Ilya finishes whatever he has been doing on his phone, and tosses it gently to the bed beside him. He crosses the room to Shane, stands in front of him, squeezes into his shoulders with his big hands, rubbing them like he means to warm them up.
“Looks like we will have a little vacation,” he says, with a big obnoxious grin.
Boston and Montreal are sent to Paris to play against each other in an exhibition series in January 2017. Ilya and Shane decide to stay in Paris for one more night. Just one more night, so they can talk. Maybe finally understand each other.
They aren't expecting a volcano to erupt in Iceland and close all the airspace in Europe, leaving them stranded there. Together.
