    Summary

    "He saw you dance to this? In front of thousands of people?" his mom asked, her voice caught between horrified and impressed.

    Shane wanted to sink through the floor and possibly never resurface. He tugged at the collar of Ilya's jersey like it was suddenly strangling him. "Can we please not talk about this? I am a grown man, you know."

    “Panties this and dancing that," she read aloud, squinting at her phone screen before her eyes went wide as saucers. "And what is—oh. Oh." Her voice cracked on the second 'oh,' pitching up about three octaves. "Shane, this is about—"

    "Mom. Please." Shane actually covered his face with both hands, his voice muffled against his palms.

    ---

    Shane takes his parents to meet the man who stole his heart through the power of a thirst trap shout out and DMs, then spends the rest of the day unwittingly transforming into the world's most enthusiastic (and oblivious) puck bunny.

    Summary

    “What if somebody sees us?” Shane protests, but he’s tilting his head, giving Ilya access to more salty skin.

    “Scandalous,” Ilya murmurs, kissing up to Shane’s ear, taking a second to tug on the lobe with his teeth and smiling when Shane’s breath hitches, “A married couple kissing in their own house.”

    “Oh, is kissing all you’re thinking of doing?” Shane asks, pretending to be coy as he buries a hand into Ilya’s hair. “Is that all you want?”

    Ilya feels like a fucking dog in heat, ready to clamp his teeth on Shane's shoulder and fucking hump his thigh until he comes; ready to turn him around and fuck him right there in the hallway for anyone to see, cheek to the wall and knees shaking as Ilya mounts him like a fucking animal.

    “Let me show you what I want,” Ilya replies, hoarse and drunk off something much stronger than the champagne and the vodka he had.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, but my answer is no. Someone else might be willing to switch if you ask.”

    “I can’t believe—this is unacceptable! I’m going to call the flight attendant over and get this sorted out right now!”

    Flustered and cornered, Shane injects his Captain Voice into the conversation. “Ma’am, I understand that you’re upset, but I paid for this seat and am going to stay here. You’ll have to find someone else willing to change places or just fly with the seat you booked. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”

    She hisses like a goddamn tea kettle, and starts to say, “You are the most selfish man I’ve ever—” when another voice behind her says, “You are blocking my seat. Move.”

    Shane and the woman turn to assess the new arrival. It turns out that his seat partner is well above six feet tall, ripped as hell, and knows how to deliver an excellent bitch face. He’s also the hottest man that Shane has ever seen in real life, including a chance run-in with Jensen Ackles at a Stars game.

    Or, still!famous Shane meets non!famous Ilya on a cursed flight from Ottawa to Boston and kind of (totally) falls in love with him at first sight (and first chirp)

    Summary

    The internet has decided that Ilya Rozanov is absolutely, definitely, 100% banging a Hollander.

    They’ve got photo evidence. Multiple sightings. Instagram stories from the same café. The man stayed OVERNIGHT at the Hollander residence.

    It’s the most legendary power move in NHL history: seduce your rival’s hot mom to assert dominance. There’s just one tiny problem with this theory. Ilya’s fucking a Hollander, all right. Just … not that one.

    Or in which Ilya’s boyfriend's mother keeps adopting him, the internet keeps assuming the worst, and Shane Hollander is having the worst month of his entire life. At least until he does something that breaks hockey forever.

    Summary

    “Mama,” he says, bringing the cigarette to his lips. “You have been worried about me. I know.”

    The smoke in his throat is so familiar. When he breathes out, it's already jagged. "I wanted to tell you that you don't have to be. Not anymore."

    (Or: after waking early one morning at the cottage, Ilya goes down to the water to talk to his mother.)
