Summary
Delta Kappa Phi and Alpha Tau Rho have shared a street for thirty some odd years and gotten along about as well as you’d expect. Shane Hollander, DKP legacy and hockey recruit, knows this going in. What he doesn’t know is Ilya Rozanov — Russian exchange student, ATR’s generational basketball talent, and specifically the worst possible person for Shane to be having any kind of feelings about.
Four years. Two houses. One street that keeps pulling them back together no matter how hard either of them tries to stay on their own side of it.Or — a hollanov frat/college AU about a hockey player and a basketball player on opposite sides of a Greek Row rivalry who have absolutely no business being in each other’s orbit, a slow burn that takes four years to catch, and the misery of wanting something they have no business wanting.

Summary
Then like an anomaly in one of his datasets, a green OPEN tag appears next to one of the restaurants. Shane squints his eyes, having difficulty seeing properly without his glasses.
Irina's Kitchen
4.02 stars
3 reviewsShane doesn't bother reading them. He taps on the website and waits for it to load. Only to be met with error.
Sighing he exits the page and keeps on scrolling. Nothing that is open catches his interest and the rest are closed. He's wondering how stale celery would taste dipped in pickle juice when his eyes land on Irina's Kitchen once more.
There's a phone number under the address. Shane bites his lower lip and wonders if he should call.
A woman with an accented voice picks up after the 5th ring.
“Hello?”
“Uh, hey, are you guys still open?”

Impossible Goals and Imperial Ambitions by Jayxee86

Summary
During the World Cup 2026, American goalie Ilya Rozanov suffers a devastating defeat to the German team at the Stade de France. He ends up walking around the stadium ruminating about the loss when he crashes into the most beautiful man he has ever seen. Ilya is then ordered to forget the entire incident, sealed with an NDA, and get on with his life.
Ilya was going to -- except he doesn't. Ilya finds himself curious and realises that he makes Shane curious too. That night, he receives a few notifications on Instagram. A certain prince of Japan has followed him and liked a photo from a few years ago -- a photo of his Calvin Klein ad.
What happens next is an impossible romance of court intrigue, political mystery, and the cosmic connection between Shane and Ilya, loosely inspired by RWRB and maybe Gatsby's attention seeking behavior through expenditure.
OR: Shane is a prince of Japan, he meets Ilya, falls in love, and uses every ounce of his princely privilege to try to meet Ilya again.

Summary
Ilya never made it to the cottage.
Ilya Rozanov spent nine years in exile, convincing himself that disappearing was an act of protection. But when he returns to the NHL and signs with the Ottawa Centaurs, the team led by Shane Hollander, his former rival and secret love, he learns that distance has changed nothing. Their bodies still remembers. The air between them still crackles.
Shane Hollander has built a life of careful normalcy: a captain's role, a dog named Anya, the performance of a man who doesn't need anything from anyone. But Ilya's return unmakes all of it in a single moment of eye contact.
As proximity forces them closer to the truth they've been avoiding, Ilya and Shane has to finally confront the question that has haunted them both for years: Was the silence ever protection, or only destruction in disguise?
