Fics like I'm your number one (you're number one)

Flying down the ice, Ilya takes the puck around the back of the net and backhands it towards the farthest corner of the top shelf of the Metros net. It’s a nearly impossible shot, especially at this speed, but Ilya’s executed it perfectly. Surely not even Hollander could- Hollander’s glove whips out at a blinding speed and snags the puck out of the air, and Ilya snarls, hissed Russian profanity spitting between his clenched teeth. The score is only 1-0 in favor of the Metros. But that single goal might as well be worth 10 with how impossible it feels to match. All they need is one goal. One. But it seems like Hollander isn’t going to let them have it. OR Shane goes on a slightly different path, becoming a goalie instead of a forward and joining the draft one year earlier than Ilya. In different positions, and in different draft years, they're not pitted as rivals against each other from the start, but they catch each other's attention anyway. Shane's goalie-ness allows him to be freer about who he is and what he wants, and Ilya tries not to trip over his skates as he catches glimpses of those freckles behind a hockey mask. (He doesn't quite succeed).
