    Summary

    After the tuna melt meltdown, Shane meets Rose Landry, has several deeply inconvenient revelations, and decides to do the only sensible thing: win Ilya back with sincerity, logistics, and a frankly alarming amount of emotional effort.

    Ilya, meanwhile, mistakes every tender gesture for the kind prelude to an inevitable goodbye.

    Or: Shane is living in a romcom. Ilya is living in a Russian tragedy.

    Summary

    The second Shane hit the ice, Ilya knew something was wrong. Bood didn’t mean to hit him, it was a clean play and an even cleaner hit. A regular hockey hit. But the way Shane landed and slid into the boards, seeing the blood but not knowing where it was coming from, had Ilya’s heart stopping. Even now, almost three hours later, it didn’t feel like his heart had started again. He could hear Bood in the bed next to him asking him something, but all he could do was refresh the tab ‘shane hollander injury update’ and hope some news article somehow leaked information. He knew he didn’t actually want that to happen because Shane deserved privacy, but he was dying inside not knowing if his boyfriend was okay.

    ***

    All Shane knew was he was in pain, the medication wasn’t masking it, and he needed Ilya. His parents were both in the room, as was Hayden, doing their best to figure out how to get ‘ily to the hospital.

    OR

    what if instead of montreal/boston shane got hurt in ottawa/montreal but no one knows they’re together & Irina foundation doesn’t exist yet & what if the injury was just a little bit worse? (not entirely canon timeline)

    Summary

    “You are hurt,” Rosanov keeps his eyes on the house.
    He looks so still and like he is also afraid of breaking the tension.
    “No,” Shane mutters.
    Forget about it, don’t talk about it, if I tell you you might realize how fucking weak I am and you won’t want me anymore, or worse, if I tell you and you defend me, everyone will know.
    “Its not a big deal,”
    “Ah, it is no big deal, you show up in Boston, the natural enemy all bruised, and will not talk about it, ok,” Ilya shrugs.
    It does sound absurd. Well, it is absurd.
    “We don’t talk,” Shane spits back out, quicker than he intended.
    Something flashes across Ilya’s face, hurt? Pain? Fear? Anger? Shane can’t place it and to be honest he is too tired to try.
    Ilya takes a beat. He puts his hands in his pockets.
    “This is bigger than we,” Ilya says and turns back to his house and starts to walk.
    Is it? Is anything bigger than us?

    or

    As their chemistry resurfaces, it collides with growing tension in the locker room and unspoken questions about Shane and the metros.

    While Ilya pushes closer, Shane keeps something buried, knowing the truth could change everything.

    Summary

    A cancer diagnosis forces Shane and Ilya to stop pretending they have time. They don’t slowly fall into each other—they crash into it, trying to make up for seven years of almosts and what-ifs. But illness doesn’t magically fix who they are. The same walls, fears, and habits that kept them apart are still there—only now they have to face them while fighting something much bigger than themselves.

    Summary

    It's Fall of 2014 and Ilya Rozanov has cut all ties with Russia. But there's no such thing as a clean break, and leaving isn't as simple as never going back.
    -
    Basically a very self-indulgent fic about how hard it would be for Ilya to actually move on from the pain of the past and to go no contact with his family in a timeline where Grigori is still alive. Also, Ilya deserves to be known and loved by more people than just Shane and Sveta. Forced/Found Family here we come.
    *Sequel to my canon-divergence fic "To only ever know the cold" (go read that first or this won't make sense!)
