    Summary

    Ilya steps forward, crowding Shane against the wall. The heat between them has grown almost unbearable.

    He lowers his head to whisper in Shane’s ear.

    “Go ahead, Hollander. Meet all the new people you want. Take them out, take them home, whatever.”

    He can feel the shakiness in Shane’s breathing on his own face. Ilya leans in.

    His words ghost against Shane’s lips, an awful mockery of a kiss.

    “They’re never going to fuck you like I did.”

    Suddenly, he is violently shoved away.

    “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

    Or,

    Shane and Ilya are hooking up, and deeply in love with each other. It’s a shame they’ve never said it out loud.

    Until Shane ends things, and Ilya just can’t let it go.

    Summary

    This thing that they have—whatever the hell it is—it’s good. It’s easy. It feels like the only thing keeping Ilya afloat sometimes.

    He can’t let it get to a place where it’s more than just a good, convenient fuck and some fun teasing in between. Even if sometimes, in brief moments of tenderness, it already feels like it’s more than that. Or at least like it’s something that can be, if they just let it.

    But they don’t. They can’t.

    Although sometimes, Ilya does find himself giving in to the urge to look at Shane just a little bit longer, to let his touch be just a little bit gentler, more reverent, than what it would be for something as casual as they claim this to be—albeit sparingly.

    Sometimes, just for a moment, he lets himself indulge. He lets some of that affection bleed out of him because he feels like he’ll implode if he doesn’t.

    But he always catches himself before it can linger.

    where six months of ghosting is shane’s final straw and he cuts contact with ilya after vegas, tired of the wall that just keeps getting higher each time he tries to chip away at it

    Summary

    He called Jackie. “Hey babe, are you still in a group chat with Wyatt Hayes’s wife? Yeah, Lisa, whatever. Listen, I need you to get Ilya Rozanov’s home address from her. What? No, I was kidding when I said I wished him bodily harm. Mostly. Look, I’ll explain later. Love you.”

    He turned on the car and briefly rested his forehead on the steering wheel, groaning.

    “Shane,” he muttered, “you absolute lovesick fool. I can’t believe I have to do this.”

    Shane has spent a year building a door for Ilya Rozanov, a KHL player he’s never heard of. The moment Ilya reaches for the handle, Shane burns the house down.

    Ilya’s only chance at saving what’s left is… Hayden Pike.

    TLDR; what if Ilya played for the KHL and drafted into Ottawa later?

    Summary


    When Dallas texts him, I’m flying in Tuesday, getting in at 11:45, Shane thinks of all the things he might do instead, alone. He thinks there is a world in which he could say, I can’t today, but the text is not a question, the ticket is already bought, Kent never asks him if he’s welcome first. Kent picks up and flies to another city, because he knows he’s welcome, he knows Shane will let him inside. There was a moment, back in September, when Shane might have asked himself if he wanted this—is this the man you want to sleep with? Is this the way you want to spend your time? Are you having fun? It doesn’t matter. This is the person who wants to be with him.

    He wonders if this is how Ilya felt about him. Impassive.

     

    Or: After an unexpected encounter just before the start of the 2016-17 season, Shane falls into a casual relationship with Dallas Kent. He doesn't meet Rose Landry. He doesn't set foot in Ilya's house outside of Boston. (There is no tuna meltdown.) He stops waiting for Ilya Rozanov to text him back. It's fine, until it isn't.

    Summary

    “Wha’ happened?” Shane mumbles.

    Ilya presses the call button for the nurse. “You took a bad hit during the game. We are at hospital.”

    Shane frowns. “What game?” he asks, and then, “Who are you?”

    Ilya blinks back the panic rising in his throat. “Shane, what the fuck? Is me. Ilya.”

    Shane is still frowning. “Rozanov?” he asks, and suddenly, like he’s had a premonition, Ilya knows what Shane is going to say next. Knows from the furrow between his brows and the hunch in his shoulders and the hands that are very conspicuously not reaching for him.

    “Rozanov,” Shane says again. “What the fuck are you doing here?”

    So this is what it feels like for your heart to break.

    --

    Or: In 2023, Shane takes a bad hit during a game and wakes up with no memory of the last twelve years of his life.
