Lovers, or, English is a damn funny language by Basingstoke

Summary
Ilya asked Shane’s father while Shane and his mother were talking outside: “Is boyfriends correct? Lovers is incorrect, but I am not sure what is correct.”
“Well,” Mr. Hollander said. “‘Lovers’ is usually used for, hm, a mistress or an affair. Something kind of sordid. Though--you would say Romeo and Juliet is a play about two lovers,” he said. He paused his knife on the chopping board. “Somehow that’s right and using it for real people isn’t right. English is a damn funny language, Ilya."
“Yes,” Ilya said from the bottom of his heart.

I’m Coming to the Cottage by Mandartania

Summary
Two days after tuna melts, ginger ale, and names that changed everything, the world ends.
A Friday night game at the Bell Centre dissolves into chaos. Riots spread. The dead don’t stay dead.
Shane Hollander runs—not from the ice, but toward the only place that still makes sense.
Somewhere between forced landings, closed borders, and a collapsing network, Ilya Rozanov makes a single decision:
I’m coming to the Cottage.
In a world stripped down to survival, love becomes direction, shelter, and promise.
Coming to the Cottage is a Heated Rivalry zombie apocalypse AU about panic and devotion, brutal choices, and the terrifying comfort of knowing exactly where you belong.

Summary
Montreal comes into Ottawa looking for blood.
They get a rookie with a mouth on him instead.
It’s supposed to be just another tight, physical game against the Voyageurs. Hard checks, ugly chirps, Rozanov bleeding a little for dramatic effect, the usual. Shane thinks he’s prepared. Ilya is, as always, one mildly illegal hit away from throwing hands. Bood is having the time of his life.
No one, however, is prepared for Luca Haas.
Nineteen. Polite. Painfully earnest. Carries art supplies in his backpack. Has never had an on-ice fight.
Until he does.
A story about rivalry, locker room insanity, rookie feral awakenings, and the exact moment Ottawa realizes their baby has teeth.

Summary
"All I'm saying is that I'm grateful that you're trusting him with Jackie and the kids. I know they're your entire life but he is mine and there is really no better person than him to do so."
Well shit, Hayden is now going to cry.
"You can't say things like that bud. I'll start crying and I can't call Jackie to vent out about it."
"You can vent about it with me?" Shane kicks Hayden's sneaker with the tip of his own.
"Yes. Yes I can."
***
Or: Hayden tries to get to know Ilya better for the sake of his best friend. What he didn't expect was finding out the soft and mushy side of Ilya underneath all that harsh exterior. Hayden and Jackie are 👑 Hayden is really trying and Pike kids adore their Uncle Ilya 💕Bookmarked by TheFireInWhichWeBurn

Summary
Ilya knew he had fucked up the moment he'd said it. But he hadn't been able to help it.
He had known earlier that day when he had double checked his refrigerator to make sure the Canada Dry ginger ale he had bought the day before hadn't sprouted wings and flown away. And he had known when he had researched easy recipes of things he could make that fit Hollander's strict performance diet earlier that week that they were playing a dangerous game.
The two of them were Rozanov and Hollander, and that was all they could ever be. Ilya knew that. They were Hollander and Rozanov to the public, to the media, to their teammates, to their coaches, and they were supposed to be that to each other as well.
But Ilya had called him Shane. And then Shane had left.
Or:
What if after the tuna melt scene when Shane runs, Ilya is the one who gets a public girlfriend. They say every action has an equal an opposite reaction... or in this case, maybe an overreaction.
