    Summary

    When Shane meets Ilya's gaze, there's a challenge in his eyes. “Simple points system,” he decides. “Score kept by Bood."

    “Great,” Bood sighs, “Now I’m a fucking marriage counselor,” but he’s already uncapping an Expo marker and starting a tally on the top left corner of the whiteboard. HOLLZY VS. ROZ it says, and under it, 0-1.

    Like they're teenagers again, Shane crosses the locker room and extends a hand for Ilya to shake. "May the best husband win."

    -

    Or: Ilya and Shane compete to see who's the better husband.

    Summary

    Ilya looked at himself, not quite recognizing his own face staring back. Maybe this was the Ilya that the world saw, the Ilya that they burned effigies of and jeered from the stands. He reached out, swiping the condensation with the heel of his hand to get a better look, but felt no more connected to his reflection than before.

    or,

    Ilya experiences domdrop in Montreal. Shane is there to help.

    Summary

    “I do not want to make you uncomfortable. With how I talk about us. To others. Like . . . reporters. Or how I treat you in front of others, like the guys on the team.”

    Something like understanding settled on Shane’s face now, and it immediately made Ilya’s heart stop racing. “You think I don’t like PDA.”

    “First time I held your hand in public I thought you were going to have a panic attack,” Ilya admitted.

    --

    Or: Shane's first season on the Ottawa Centaurs, as told through five times Ilya initiated PDA (and one time Shane did).

    Summary

    Two years of playing together, and it still hit him every time. The casualness of it. My husband. Said out loud, in public. After years of hiding—stolen moments in hotel rooms, careful distance in public, the constant exhausting performance of just teammates, just rivals, nothing to see here—now Ilya could say it like it was nothing. Like it was easy, like it was the most natural thing in the world.

    Because it was. Finally.

    In which Ilya Hollander-Rozanov cannot shut up about his husband. (Subtitled: No one asked, Ilya. Ilya. No one asked.)
