Fics like pretty stranger

Shane was about to take another sip of his IPA when his entire body froze, the glass halfway to his lips. He knew that voice. It had been years since he last heard it, the grindstone of time smoothing the rough edges of the accent, but it was still unmistakably Russian. It was the voice of — “Hollander?” The man asked. Shane set the glass down and turned his head slowly, the stranger’s hood-covered face coming into view. He was looking at Shane with wide-eyed surprise. “Rozanov,” Shane replied flatly. === Shane Hollander suffered a career-ending injury in 2014. Later that year, Ilya Rozanov medically retired fresh off of his first Cup win, the circumstances unclear. In less than a year, the hockey world had lost their two biggest rising stars. As well as a budding relationship nobody had even known about. It’s 2022 now, and Shane hasn’t seen Ilya since. He's tried not to think about it, about whatever they were or what they could’ve become, both on and off the ice. He lives in Toronto now, just far enough away from the life he’d left behind. Only, the world has other plans in mind, when a chance encounter at a bar on New Year’s Day brings 2014 screaming back for him to confront.
