Summary
mar·ces·cence /mɑːrˈsɛs.əns/ noun
The phenomenon where a plant retains its dead, withered leaves through the winter instead of dropping them in autumn. The state of un-shed foliage losing its colour, drying out, and breaking apart under harsh elements while remaining rigidly attached to the branch.
*No one can know Shane's an omega, and no one can know he's slowly falling apart. So Shane puts his gear on, locks his trembling knees, and steps back onto the ice.
His mate doesn’t want him. His mate doesn’t want him. Ilya doesn’t want him.

Summary
“So you hate me now?” Ilya walks up to Shane in the lobby of the first hotel of their roadtrip.
“Ilya…”
“No, is okay. You want divorce now, yes?”
“I just thought maybe it would be fun to do something different this trip. Bond with some of our teammates.”
Ilya’s eyebrows raise. “You want to bond with Dykstra? You truly do not love me anymore.”
...
Shane Hollander hasn't scored a goal in 9 games, so he comes up with a plan to get his mojo back.

Summary
“And you were… doing that? Hooking up with guys?”
“Oh no, not like—, not like guys plural. Just, you know, the hookups with Roz on the road.” Shane is still processing that when Cliff chuckles and tells him, “congrats, by the way. On locking that down. He can be an asshole but like, fuck, he gives good head. Like, insane.”
/
It's Shane and Ilya's first all star weekend as a married couple. Shane's prepared for homophobic jokes and slurs on the ice. What he's not prepared for is finding out about Ilya's past teammates with benefits arrangement with Cliff Marlow.

Summary
When Ilya gets into a car accident on his way back from the cottage and wakes up having lost the last half year of his memories, Shane’s world crumbles.
He keeps telling himself that Ilya will remember, that everything will go back to how it was before, but it’s hard to keep holding on to that hope when Ilya looks at him with so much distrust and hurt in his eyes.Having just spent two wonderful weeks at Shane’s cottage, Ilya’s newfound bliss is cut short when he wakes up in a hospital and the last thing he remembers is playing a game against the Metros back in winter.
Stuck in his head with his most recent memories following shortly after the tuna melt disaster, he has a hard time figuring out why Shane Hollander keeps showing up at his hospital room. It’s not like they’re even on speaking terms, right?- Language:

Summary
Ilya thought playing on the same team as Shane would mean chirping, showing off, and maybe winning a Cup together.
He did not expect it to mean having to tell Shane, as his captain, that the way he talks to their rookie is hurting the team.
Shane takes this extremely literally. Ilya takes it extremely personally.
Or: one difficult conversation, two very different brains, and two husbands trying very hard to take care of each other.

Summary
By the time Shane washes his face, brushes his teeth and packs, there's no time to change. So he's stuck wearing the sweatshirt to the airport while mentally being grateful that it's not a tight neon t-shirt that shows the two barbells poking through both his nipples.
Let this be a lesson. Never look at pictures of your situationship with his tongue down beautiful women's throats and go on a jealousy tirade to live a wild night in a city like Las Vegas.
Or, Shane gets accidental nipple piercings and Ilya misunderstands.

Sweatshirt haunts the narrative AND it has this HEARTBREAKING line: “Why are you being so… distant? So… cruel?” Shane asks and sniffs. “Why won't you hold me? Kiss me? Call me Shane? Why—” he breaks off and looks away.

Summary
“Sorry,” Shane says. “It wasn’t bad, or anything. Okay, I mean, it was bad, but not bad bad. I just wasn’t enjoying it.”
“Ah,” Ilya says. “Doctor role-play not for you? This is okay.”
But Shane shakes his head. He fumbles to grasp at Ilya’s hand beside him, and Ilya squeezes back gratifyingly fast, which gives him the confidence to say, “No, it’s not that, it’s just—it was kind of inaccurate.”
--
Or: Shane and Ilya try doctor roleplay. It's hot in theory, but in the moment, Shane gets in his head about all the medical inaccuracies. So Ilya does some research.

Summary
Shane had the sudden sinking feeling that he had been stood up. Rozanov must have found something better to do with his night in Toronto. He started back into his room when the number next to his door caught his eye.
Oh, no.
1401.
He’d told Rozanov the wrong number. He was sure of it. His brain was so scrambled by the interaction in the shower that when Rozanov asked his room number, he jumbled up the digits and told him 1410.
OR
Shane accidentally gives Rozanov the wrong hotel room number after the CCM commercial shoot and has to come to terms with what he wants a bit earlier than he wants. (Happy ending epilogue included because I'm a bitch who needs closure, ok?)Bookmarked by hate_when_strangers_ask_what_reading

Summary
Shane didn't hear the rest of Ilya's question. It happened so fast, in the span of a blink. One minute he was staring at his husband and the next he was in a hallway, the momentum of whatever that had moved him causing him to stumble forward. His body collided with the door in front of him, the thud of the impact ringing out into the hallway.
"Ow, fuck, what the fuck?" He groaned, steadying himself. "What the hell was that?"
A lock clicked, the door in front of him swung open.
"Sasha, ya ne khochu..." A voice, so familiar even without the rasp Shane knew it would gain in time that he recognized it instantly, stopped. "Who are you?"
"Oh." Shane gasped, his eyes growing wide. There, in front of him, was his husband. Only it wasn't his Ilya, as in the one he was just talking to, the one he woke up next to every morning. This Ilya was a bit smaller, his curls a bit bigger and more wild, younger. His eyes more guarded than the open, adoring blue Shane was used to now. "Oh my god."

"You should fuck them," Ilya says, his voice thick with a smile that Shane doesn't have to look up to see.In which Ilya wants something, but it takes a little bit of work to convince Shane he wants it, too. A meditation on the way things are better when you want to be there.

Summary
As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.
So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.
(He’s jealous.)

Summary
The first sound Ilya hears is a thin, discordant symphony of beeps and whirs. Something vibrating.
The next thing he hears is…wet. A sort of shaking, gargling sound, that feels like the ugliest crying he’s ever heard. And through it, Shane’s voice.
“I’m with him now, mom. He’s— he’s not fine. He’s not. I know—”
Ilya wants to ask who's not fine, but he can’t feel his own body, his mouth, enough to ask.
“Yeah,” Shane is saying, only slightly calmer. “I know. He wasn’t breathing—"
Ilya knows there's a link, between the clinical musicality of medical settings, Shane’s audible, awful distress, and his own physical incapacity. It’s just, it’s so tenuous, and the air around him is so thick, so heavy. It would be easy, to sleep, a little.
-
Footage of the last game between Ottawa and Montreal is everywhere; it’s breached containment from the sports world, and now it seems like everyone is baying for Montreal’s blood. Except, Ilya is oblivious. Not exactly blissfully so, but as the fight for accountability within the league rages on without him, Ilya just wants someone, anyone, to tell him what happened.- Language:

Summary
Truth is, he could just say it. He could just be honest.
Ilya, I'm worried you will see all these hot naked women and remember you miss them. Ilya, I'm worried I'm not enough. Ilya, I'm worried you'll come home and see me in comparison, so inelegant, so bulky, so brash, and realize this is wrong for you. That I am wrong for you. But saying all this would mean opening this entire huge clunky box thing, which only remains closed in virtue of Shane never looking at it for more than two seconds. So he says nothing.
But one rule supersedes all other rules regarding Ilya: if he wants to fuck around, Shane will make sure he finds out.
Or: Shane gets himself a set of pretty lingerie as revenge, and Ilya comes all over his pretty panties embarassingly fast.

Summary
“Your husband is just as possessive as you, Ilya,” Sasha says in Russian once again. “It’s fucking hot. Sveta can’t seduce him, but maybe I can. We could share for old times’ sake.”
“I don’t share my husband with anyone, ever, asshole,” Shane cuts him off, also in Russian, rage at the man’s audacity bleeding into his tone.

Shane and Ilya run into Sasha at Svetlana’s birthday celebration, and it goes about as well as expected.
