He takes a deep, shuddering breath, closes his eyes for a moment, pulling himself together. He’ll delete the text, send something safe.
Or maybe he shouldn’t text at all, maybe that was why Rozanov had stopped responding in the first place: Shane, forever waiting for a text back, expecting too much where he was owed nothing.
yet another shane sends the 'we didn't even kiss' text fic

Summary
“Why? Why won’t you ever tell me what’s wrong with you?” Carlton’s voice is filled with frustration, and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to Will.
What is wrong with him. It’s such a loaded question. Why does Will wake up screaming sometimes? Why can’t Will handle the cold? Why are there days when Carlton’s hands on him feel like being kept under water with no way up?
And why can’t Will tell Carlton the truth? How could Will possibly explain it without sounding insane? What is the human translation for being taken and kept in another dimension, violated, and possessed, only to then be violated yet again—
This part of him is something Will is never going to be able to share with anyone else. That nobody would understand.
Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong with you.
“Because you wouldn’t get it.” Will somehow manages to say it without gagging.
And then, Carlton goes in for the kill.
“Oh, but Mike does?”
OR
After leaving Hawkins to go to college in the great city of San Franscisco, Will finally finds someone who loves him. The only problem is that the only person in the world who knows him, is someone else.

Summary
Wilson has a secret. He's in love with his best friend, Bran. Dealing with his feelings, and the situation back home is hard, though. Is it possible that Bran could feel the same way? Will Bran ever find out about Wilson's abusive household? How will he react when he does?
***
"Is it just me, but as we sway gently to the beat of the music, does he lean closer? And do his eyes soften as I lift my head just slightly to meet them? Is he enjoying this?
Does he think of me as more than a friend?
Bran grins as he twirls me around, suddenly. I barely catch myself as he pulls me back, his arm returning around my waist.
“Very funny,” I mutter, quietly so the teacher doesn’t hear. “You’re hilarious.”
Bran just raises his eyebrows, his mouth twitching as he visibly tries to fight back a laugh. He winks at me, just once, and while my breath hitches, he dips me so fast that I actually yelp. I would have fallen if it wasn’t for Bran catching me just in time.
His face is suddenly right on top of mine, close enough that I can count the freckles dotting his nose and cheeks. I glare at him, but only half-heartedly. I don’t really mind. I don’t mind at all."Series

Summary
Wilson Dekker thought that leaving his hometown was the hardest thing he’s ever done. He quickly realizes that learning to stay might be harder than running away.
It turns out the summer has a way of stirring up the memories of everything left behind: the lake where they grew up, the years of sketchbook pages, and the heart that still hasn’t figured out how to stop belonging to Brando Ellis, even after months of silence.
Meanwhile, Brando’s just trying to keep his head above water between soccer, family pressure, and the weight of being who everyone wants him to be it’s getting harder to pretend he’s not miserable. Then he gets a postcard.
Caught between who they were and who they’ve become, Wilson and Brando spend the summer circling old memories, old mistakes, and a love neither of them is ready to name.

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 to come here? It’s not like you couldn’t have gone anywhere else.”
Shane remembered his surprise at Ilya’s commitment. The calm of Boston College didn’t exactly fit Ilya’s predisposition.
Ilya looked thoughtful for a second, underneath the tumult on his face. “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. After all, he’d felt the same way.
Ilya gently nudged him with his elbow. "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 shrugged again. “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
Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.
So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.
Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

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???

Summary
A freezing Boston sets the stage for a case that shouldn’t exist: a young man from the city’s elite found dead in the slums, under circumstances far too neat to be real. Detective Shane Hollander - methodical, unyielding, sharp enough to read a crime scene like a coded message - needs only a glance to sense that someone is steering the investigation off course.
Every lead points to the Raiders and their leader, Ilya Rozanov: a master of high‑stakes robberies, arrogant, unpredictable, dangerously magnetic. The perfect suspect, maybe too perfect. The deeper Shane digs, the clearer it becomes that a powerful hand is shaping the narrative, deciding who gets blamed and who stays untouchable.
As he follows trails that never make it into official reports - underground cage fights, glittering galas, unlikely alliances - Shane finds himself pulled into a maze of corruption and buried truths. And at the center of it stands Rozanov, a man who should be just a name on a file but the closer Shane gets to the truth, the more he feels another pull - dangerous, unexpected, and impossible to ignore.
or: Detective Shane and Gangster Ilya. A hard-boiled detective story. Rivalry, smuttyness, romance.

Summary
“Did you just tell a customer their outfit was structurally unsound?”
“It was.”
If you ask Shane Hollander, he'll tell you the bar's highball glasses are committing a war crime against sparkling water, your outfit has at least three structural flaws, and no, he is NOT blushing, it's just warm in here, and no, he was NOT staring at the new bartender through the gap in the ficus leaves, he was RESTING HIS EYES, and also, for the record, he doesn't care that the bartender has hazel eyes the color of warm stone in late-afternoon light or that his hands can untangle Shane's knotted fingers like they were made for exactly that purpose. He's a particularly opinionated artist with a sunset to paint. He doesn't have time for this. (He makes so much time for this.)
A neurodivergent artist with the social grace of a startled deer + a bartender with the patience of a saint + a best friend who lives for drama = a love story told in fumbled words, shared sunsets, and the quiet understanding that sometimes the most profound conversations happen without speaking a word.
Or: Shane Hollander has zero filter, zero social skills, and is absolutely in love with the new bartender his mother hired for their family bar

Summary
Yuna slides a folder on the table closer, pulling out two packets of paper. She’d gone all out with the contracts. Mainly, Shane suspected, to ease his nerves about the lines of the relationship. Plus, she was always nothing if not prepared.
She hands one contract to Shane, then another to Rozanov. “As a reminder, this is not legally binding. If either of you wants out early, can’t meet obligations, or wants to change things down the line, that is perfectly fine, and we can work with that. This just lays out the exact timeline of the relationship,” she begins, “down to the start and end dates."
- or, Shane and Ilya never start hooking up in 2010. So eight years later, after they both come out on their own, Yuna Hollander (momager of the century) decides that a PR relationship would be very beneficial for her son and his infamous rival. And everything definitely goes exactly according to plan... or something like that.
