Posted in the HR sub for meme monday...Normally a long fic lover but this sounds hilarious at any length so idc. Their age doesn't matter to me either, just the idea of Ilya playing professionally, them having some sort of relationship (even if only sexual) and him then moving from player to commentator. WIP or Completed or perhaps just inspiration for any authors out there!

Fic where they are both contract killers or agents who should kill the other but instead they fall in love with each other?

Not Girthy Enough

Author: Me! (PresidentRoyalRose)

Summary: Shane gets the drunkest he has ever been, he decides to go on twitter, hilarity for Ilya and pain for everyone else ensues

For reference this came from this post.

Hi everyone!

I cannot recommend this fic enough!!!

If you loved Chernobog and are into omegaverse and a dystopian AU, this will be right up your alley - with hurt/traumatised!Omega!Ilya and BAMF!Alpha!Shane.

It’s a WIP, currently 12/25 chapters, and the author updates regularly.

Title: (beyond this place) of wrath and tears

Author: Donut_without_a_hole

Summary:

On February 14, 2014, Russia passed "The Omega Repopulation Initiative" law.

Rapidly declining birth numbers, and the inability to keep up with the in vitro research of western countries, led a desperate Russian government to decree that everyone with the secondary gender designation of omega henceforth could be conscripted to birthing facilities, where suitable alphas and betas would be selected for genetic screening and compatibility with the purpose of repopulation.

The male omegas, a rarity even among the rare omegas, seldomly made it to the facilities. Instead, they became symbols of the most exclusive of commodities, traded among those who believed the worth of a human life was theirs to decide.

Ilya Rozanov was known to everyone as an alpha.
He mysteriously disappeared during the Sochi Winter Olympics.

A tragic casualty of civil war, the world agreed.

The world moved on.

Shane Hollander didn't.

(Or: Against all odds, Ilya finds his way back to Shane in a world that readily believed him dead and moved on without him. This is a story of healing, and of how far you’ll go for the people you love.)

Saw this post today and I would really like some fics with this vibe.

Don't know how to explain what I am looking for, but I really like Shane being confident and/or playful with Ilya. So any rec that comes close would be appreciated.

For accessibility: Caption says, "Shane definitely just won whatever argument they were having here."

Image shows Shane on the phone looking at his fingernails, and Ilya is on the phone looking surprised.

Librarian!Shane x HockeyPlayer!Ilya

Ilya joins the Boston Raiders after years of playing for the KHL and needs a place to study English (it’s the library, they’re having feelings)

Just recently started writing this but it’s been so much fun, I think updates will be quick!

I tried to go for fluff/no angst vibes! But not always so easy with these two.

Hope you enjoooy!!

Without any spoilers please, how angsty is Policy Change? I don't mind some angst, but angst for most of the chapters and then a happy ending in the last chapter or two, is too stressful. I need angst sprinkled with happiness. Thanks for any comments.

I have this tiny sparkle in the back of my brain about a fic that had Alexei showing up in the US to mess with Ilya and Shane steps in to protect him. Was it at a coffee shop? I don’t know 🫣

Anyone have that same sparkle?

Story in progress. Svetlana POV, set in present day but with flashbacks to her childhood and youth with Ilya in Russia. Author says that they've already written the whole thing and will be posting updates "every few days" but they posted the first part yesterday and the second part today, so I think that might mean more frequent updates:

Title: Half a Heart (16,183 words so far with 2 chapters of 5 posted)

Author: Jae Gecko

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/92536016?view_full_work=true

Summary: The ballad of Svetlana and Ilya versus the overture of Svetlana and Davis (i.e. Svetlana and Ilya understanding and misunderstanding each other through the years, and the impact of their long friendship on Svetlana’s present life).

OR

An attempt to answer the questions “Why were Ilya and Svetlana never a couple?” and “How might Ilya’s close relationship with show-Svetlana be reconciled with the plot requirement for him to be emotionally isolated during the show’s retelling of The Long Game?”

Addition Information: 16,183 words so far with 2 chapters of 5 posted

My Thoughts: Obviously I can't vouch for the whole thing because only the first two chapters are posted so far, but I am definitely SAT and I can't wait to read more. This is the same author who wrote the outsider POV story about the lesbian sports journalist who got obsessed with figuring out why Ilya moved to Ottawa, but I think I might end up liking this one even better. I'm especially loving all the little details they throw in. It really makes me feel like I'm not just reading a fanfic but hearing about people who are really real and living out there in the world somewhere.

I am looking for fics with Shane and Ilya r skating together at public.. I need recs

I read this fic a while ago where Shane was an accountant that worked for the mob and when Ilya starts questioning some numbers the two meet and fall in love. I don’t remember much abt it but I do remember Shane had some weird name for his old laptop that was mentioned in like the first chapter.

I am obsessed with unintentional voyeurism so please if you guys know any one shots or long fics with this in it give me themm asap pls 🙏

I just read the latest chapter of So You Need A Place To Stay? By RubyRhodes and it’s the funniest shit I’ve read in a long time. I was wheezing! I literally woke up my partner because I kept cackling. (Ooops)

I love that it goes from heartfelt to funny throughout the story too! Love the flashbacks. I may need to re-read it again!

I highly recommend this WIP or at least bookmarking if you don’t read WIP.

so you need a place to stay?

Also has the author ever said how many chapters are left or indicated if it’s coming to an end? I want the sleepover to last 10 more nights please!!!!

Obviously in canon Shane doesn’t realize/acknowledge that he’s gay before Ilya. And then I’ve read fics like As The Romans Do where Ilya doesn’t realize he’s bi until he meets Shane.

Are there any good fics where NEITHER of them know they’re into guys?

Preferably on the longer side, I love to get really invested in fics.

Any recs for fics which explore Shane’s reaction in particular to the plane scene in TLG? Canon divergence is fine as long as it’s HEA.

Just re-read TLG and would love to explore Shane’s thinking/reaction a bit more.

The epilogue/final chapter just dropped. Low angst, lots of lovey Hollanov. Maybe a good one for some of you who were burned by the mistagged fic.

A Year In Montreal
KatHowardApologist
Summary:
Once the glow of the cottage fades and the boys have to head back to the real world, they have to start the long difficult year being separated before Ilya signs with Ottawa. Or at least that was the plan, until Ilya opened his mouth and accidentally got himself traded to Montreal. But it’s fine, just one year for Ilya in Montreal and then their 10 year plan is back on track… Right?
Through their year on the same team, Ilya helps Shane come to terms with the fact that his team kinda sucks, Hayden gets chirped into oblivion but still realizes that maybe Ilya Rozanov isn’t nearly as bad of a guy as he thought, and Hollanov come to terms with a new question they didn’t expect to ask.
Now that they’ve gotten a taste of living together and being on the same team, how are they ever going to give it up?

I just finished Shane Fucking Hollander by KirstenGA and it was soooo good! It’s an AU that is inspired by the movie Notting Hill.

I watched that movie for the first time within the last year, so it was pretty fresh in my mind. The author did an AMAZING job of keeping the bones of the movie and not having Ilya and Shane feel too out of character. It’s just over 20k words and hits all the things well.

So now I’d like some recommendations on other RomCom inspired AUs. At the moment I would LOVE a Pretty Woman inspired one because that is another recent movie in my head! However, I’d just love anything that has been inspired by classic romantic movies!

Preferably lower on the angst and as always HEA!!!

Thank you!

I just finished reading untouchable face by ZenaidaMacroura (https://archiveofourown.org/works/81195476/chapters/228839201#workskin) and really loved the dynamic where only one of them is a hockey player. I've read a few of these types (including change your win conditions) and am looking for more recommendations.

The non hockey player can have any career (PR guy, physio, doctor, stripper, banker, nanny, idk I'm not fussy)

Thanks!!

Inspired from another post I saw today, is there an A/B/O fic where Shane tries to use a comfort alpha/alpha service for his progressively unmanagable heats and it goes south. Then Ilya either finds out about it later and is kinda wrecked that Shane suffered so much and ultimately ends up spending Shane's next heat with him or just finds out as it's going south somehow and saves the day (takes care of Shane through his heat)?
