    Summary

    Forty-eight people boarded the charter flight from Raleigh. Only one woke up in a Savannah hospital.

    Ilya Rozanov is the unbreakable Captain of the Ottawa Centaurs. Now, he is also the sole survivor of a tragedy that the NHL would rather treat as a PR nightmare than a massacre. With a shattered body and a ghost team, Ilya finds himself at the center of a corporate conspiracy fueled by blood money.

    But he isn't alone. Shane Hollander has always been his greatest rival. Now, he’s his only anchor. Because sometimes, the only way out is through.

    Complete!

    More Details on the Main Character Death Tag

    Hey! The MCD tag is STRICTLY for the death of the Centaurs team, right from the beginning. Neither Ilya nor Shane die at any point in the fic.

    Summary

    Summer 2011 to Summer 2014

    This is part of a longer series & there are things referenced in here that are directly related to the previous works. It is canon-compliant with the TV series only. The time period is post-Rookie season MLH awards to the summer of 2014 (all of S1E2). It uses no source material from the books. This is a take on all of the missing time from the show. What were they up to? How did they feel about not hooking up for two years?

    During warm ups, Ilya noticed that Shane was near center ice doing his stretches. He decided he’d meander over and see if he couldn’t engage. Once he was a few feet away from him, Ilya said, “Hollander.”

    Ilya bent over and acted like he was fiddling with the blade of his stick.

    Shane didn’t respond. And Ilya couldn’t cross the center line to force the issue. Shit. He stood up, did a couple of circles on the ice and used the motion to move right up to the line. He tried to ensure that his voice was soft, but not overly emotional. He couldn’t let himself sound like he was begging. Even though he was.

    “Hollander. Please.”

    Shane still wouldn’t look at him. “Go away, Rozanov.”

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has been drafted by Boston, the number one pick overall, but his father doesn't want him moving to America and so takes steps to block his visa. He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong.

    It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it. Even though that something is the most reckless, the only reckless thing he's ever done in his life. He marries Rozanov in secret, to keep him out of Russia and put him on a path to Canadian citizenship.

    Shane's got a five-year plan to get him there and when you have a plan nothing can go wrong. Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's.

    Right???

    (or, the story of how Shane Hollander fell in love with his own husband)

    Summary

    My intention is for this series to be supplemental to the Heated Rivalry TV series. Each work will be a stand-alone perspective of either Shane or Ilya (and probably a few cameos by ancillary characters) throughout the series. Everything written will always be canon-compliant with the TV show. Any future references I might use from the books may not remain canon compliant if the TV show heads in a different direction. But I don't expect to be writing that far into the future for that to be an issue.

    I am essentially trying to both expand the episode and go deeper into themes, rationales, and actions of the characters. For a multimedia type experience, readers could read these while watching the actual episodes; I do that when I'm writing.

    If you've taken the time to read one or more of these works, I thank you very much for your time and support. :)
