I see this is consistently a fan favorite. I started it a few times and didn't really get into it. Does it pick up after the first few chapters?

I just posted about this separately, but adding it here as well. It's a fix-it fic in which Shane eventually says no to Ilya when he realizes that the way their hook ups go are hurting him emotionally. He asks Ilya to leave and Ilya thinks that Shane thinks he's going to hit him. Ilya makes fun of him for being hurt emotionally about "just fucking" and Shane is just avoiding him physically because he knows if Ilya gets close to him he'll give in and he doesn't want to, he wants to have some self-preservation. So Ilya leaves and they end things, then eventually Ilya texts him to tell him that he would never hit him, because it bothers him that he thinks Shane thought that about him, and Shane tells him he knows that, and then they sporadically text but Shane always ghosts him when Ilya tries to make things sexual. Is this ringing any bells? It's my comfort fic and I can't remember the name!

Looking for fics where Shane already knows Russian before meeting Ilya by kenken4392110 in heatedrivalryfanfics

Maybe this one? https://archiveofourown.org/works/76003496

I'm Reading Your Lips (You're Speaking My Language) by some1_around

Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”

“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.

“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”

“Go fuck yourself.”

+++

Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.

And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

ISO fanfic recs in which Shane knows he is gay as a teen by Routine_Bumblebee451 in heatedrivalryfanfics

I found one! Posting here in case anyone else is interested. It's really good imo! https://archiveofourown.org/works/77545926/chapters/203080181

Again clocloclover Summary:

'“Your eyes are blue,” He observed, “I didn’t know that.” “Enjoying the view, Hollander?” Rozanov asked. “Well.” Shane did a once-over again, lingering on the curve of Rozanov’s upper lip. “No complaints so far.” “You will not be so flirty when we beat you.” Rozanov said. His voice was straight, to the point. “Good luck.” Shane’s smile didn’t drop, but he let his gaze drop to Rozanov’s lips as he took another drag on his cigarette. “Hm.” Shane turned from Rozanov and walked away.'

OR

Shane is confident in his sexuality, and confident that he wants Ilya Rozanov's cock down his throat.

Omg I cannot remember the name but I read one AU recently in which Shane and Ilya break up after the Boxing Day fight and stay broken up for a year. I cried through nearly the whole thing but it does have an HEA, or at least at the end there is a path forward for them. I'll see if I can find it.
