Summary
“You like this.” Ilya said more like a statement than a question.
“Like what?”
“When I said that this is something serious.”
Shane blushed and looked away.
Ilya gently grabbed Shane's chin and brought his face up to meet Ilya’s eyes.
“I like it too.”
OR
Shane and Ilya don’t hook up until a little later on in their story, but not for lack of trying or interest. When they do finally get together, things move faster and feelings are expressed sooner. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t difficult moments to overcome on the path to their happy ending.
This story is an exploration of a completely alternative timeline in the Hollanov love story—using a combination of the show and the original Heated Rivalry and Long Game books. There will be pining, yearning, big emotional moments, and angsty roadblocks. With, of course, a very happy ending for our boys.

Summary
In 2006, the Hollander family billeted a player to the Ottawa 67s - Ilya Rozanov, a 15 year old Russian Bostonian with a hockey talent to rival Shane's.
Years later, they’d once again share a team, and a home: Boston College.“Why did you choose Boston? It’s not like you couldn’t have gone anywhere else.”
Shane remembered his surprise at Ilya’s commitment. The college didn’t exactly fit Ilya’s predisposition.
Ilya looked thoughtful for a second, underneath the tumult.
“Other than the obvious? I don’t know. I think I just felt like this place was where I was meant to go.”
Shane understood that.
Ilya nudged him. "Now you. Why are you here, Canadian boy?”
The corner of Shane’s lip raised, and he shrugged.
“I wanted to be more than hockey. At least, for a little while longer.”
Ilya’s eyes locked on him, and a small smile reset the lines of Ilya’s face.
“You couldn’t have done that in Canada?”
Shane laughed lightly. “Sure, but Canada didn’t have you.”
Ilya looked down at the ground, and didn’t look back up as he spoke.
“The NHL didn’t have you.”- Language:

Summary
“I’m late,” Ilya finally says.
“Oh! Yeah, of course, I’m sorry. It was good to see you, man.”
Man. It’s patronizing.
“You too.”
Shane searches his face for a second, eyebrows creased slightly, face an open book just like before. Ilya tries to push past him, tries to see how fast he can forget that this encounter ever happened, but Shane stops him at the last second.
“Can I give you my number?” he asks, already digging in his pocket for his phone. “We should catch up.”
Ilya doesn’t want it. He really doesn’t want it. Shane is being polite. He’s being a good boy. He’s saying exactly the type of things you’re supposed to say when you run into someone you haven’t seen in years.Nine years after Ilya decided to end things with Shane, he runs back into him. Shane is working as a hockey commentator, while Ilya is married to Svetlana and living in the US as a retired hockey player. Although he knows he shouldn't, he allows himself to get to know Shane again.
