    Summary

    "I noticed that you repeat things I say."
    For a moment, Shane simply stared at him. Then he blinked.
    "Oh."
    The response wasn't defensive. He didn’t sound annoyed - if anything, Shane looked caught off guard, almost embarrassed even. It made Ilya feel slightly bad that he had brought this up.
    "It happens a lot," Ilya said carefully.
    "I mean, I guess, yeah,” the tips of Shane's ears turned pink, and his voice got unexpectedly quiet.
    Ilya hesitated before forcing himself to continue, realising there was no going back now.
    "Are you making fun of me?"

    Summary

    Ilya was quiet for a long moment. "I'm scared I'm going to end up like my mother."

    Ilya is struggling while Shane is on the road with the Metros, and the distance, combined with a brutal depressive episode, leaves Ilya spiralling. When everything becomes too much and the intrusive thoughts won't stop, Ilya takes Anya for a walk - and somehow ends up at Shane's parents' house.

    Summary

    “Why are you out here alone?” Ilya asks. “Who left you here?”

    Hesitantly, Shane’s eyes cast up at the apartment building. Ilya follows his gaze, confused.

    “I’m sorry,” Shane says softly, “I went home with someone.”

    Ilya’s head snaps in his direction. “What?”

    Summary

    “Is not fine,” Ilya replies. His tone is curiously flat. “You trust me. I hurt you. This cannot be fine.”

    “Ilya, it’s just a game. Even I know a team can’t win every time they play.”

    ****************

    When a scene goes wrong, Shane finds it easy to forgive Ilya. It’s not so easy for Ilya to forgive himself.

    Summary

    “Can you-” Shane’s voice was small. Jackie clicked to enlarge him on her phone once again. “-Hayden, can you go get him?”

    “And do what?” Pick him up and bring him where? Absolutely not, he wanted to say, but Jackie cut him off again.

    Jackie flung back the covers. “Of course, Shane. Don’t worry, he’ll leave right now,” She told Shane softly.

    Summary

    “You’re so pretty,” Ilya whispers.

    Shane Hollander tries to stop a smile from spreading across his face, but he fails miserably and it makes Ilya’s heart jump. God, this boy is going to absolutely ruin him and the worst part is that Ilya doesn’t even mind anymore. He just wants to be with Shane Hollander.

    Shane.

    “He must be hallucinating,” Hayden Pike mumbles. “He’s got to be having the biggest fever.”

    Or: Ilya is sick, but he will not admit to it nor will the coach let him stay home, so he shows up to the ice rink anyway.

    Summary

    For years Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander have been seeing each other, on and off the ice, and since their All-Star weekend together, they have grown closer than ever before. They spent more evenings in each other’s company, yet they have never spent the entire night together.

    Ilya had opened up much more to Shane Hollander, even about his father and his illness before he passed away. But there are certain parts about his life that Ilya simply does not dare to give away, not yet, maybe not ever. He knows that once he does, Shane will look at him differently and Ilya isn't sure he could live with that.

    Summary

    There’s knocking at his front door. He frowns. Jackie and Hayden are the only ones that he is expecting tonight and they are both sitting in his living room. He has no idea who could be knocking on his door at this time of the evening, unless–

    “That better not be another uninvited guest!” Shane calls out to his friend in the other room.

    “We didn’t invite anyone!” Hayden calls back–indignantly–as if he hadn’t been trying to set Shane up with multiple women over the past few months by inviting them to dinner parties at the Pike's house.

    “Can you see who it is? My hands are soaked.”

    “Sure thing.”

    Shane washes the last plate and lets the water drain. He washes his hands and, with the towel in hand, walks in the direction of the hallway when Hayden’s voice rings out.

    “Uh, Shane? What the fuck is Rozanov doing in front of your door?”

    OR: After dinner with the Pikes, Shane finds a lost and broken Ilya Rozanov standing on his doorstep.

    Summary

    You are a traitor, you lied to all of them.

    To have teammates question him?

    To have years of loyalty erased in a single night?

    You are a fucking liar.

    Something twisted violently inside his chest.

    The first sob escaped before he realized he was crying.

    His vision blurred instantly.

    "No."

    His hands began shaking.

    "No."

    The container slipped.

    He caught it.

    Stared at it.

    The stupid fucking chicken.

    The stupid fucking rice.

    The stupid fucking vegetables.

    Or a canon divergence after Shane trips.
    It was for nothing.

    Summary

    Sequel or Companion Piece to my fic, Lucky AF. I don't think you need to read the first story, but it's a good one!

    "Shane had been sick for weeks and struggling mentally for even longer.  And Hayden hadn’t clocked how serious it had become.  It’s an easy urge to rationalize it: he has four kids; Shane hadn’t fucking said anything; his play had never suffered.  But the excuses resonate like the shifting of blame, selfishly escaping guilt. 

    Hayden thumps his head against the grimy window.  Just as he’s nearly overwhelmed by the intrusive urge to put his fist through it, Ilya Rozanov blisters into the room, frantic and crazed. He’d been half-expecting him, but even still, all thoughts, dangerous and otherwise, are effectively silenced."

    -or-

    After Hayden learns that Shane is in love, he collects clues as to who it could be. All is revealed when Shane gets seriously sick and Ilya Rozanov calls him to help.

    "The heavy breathing continued, but it was truncated by a very unsexy cough, and a brittle sound, not a sob or a groan, but a soft, broken utterance. Ilya’s hand stilled.  Something uncomfortable and cold flared in his belly."

    -or-

    Shane calls Ilya in the aftermath of an anxiety attack.

    Summary

    They didn’t do this – order breakfasts for each other or stay the night. Well, Ilya had tossed a protein bar at Shane once when his stomach wouldn’t stop growling. And Shane had scrounged up a banana and Gatorade when Ilya’s leg had seized up in a cramp, but that was only because they wanted to continue to have sex.

    Shane ventured towards the bed and gently bent down to softly kiss Ilya on the mouth and then the forehead before heading to the bathroom. A feathery warmth glided through his chest, and that felt as wonderful as it did dangerous.

    Totally worth it, Shane thought as he gazed at a gleeful Ilya Rosanov, all toothy grin and gleaming blue eyes as he reeled in his first ever caught fish. Even though the searing sunlight intensified the mild headache he’d woken up with into something monstrous.

    Summary

    If only—if only Shane can slide back to bed, to fall asleep beside Ilya and wake up beside him, to just pretend that the outside world does not exist. Shane would like to learn the shapes of Ilya’s routines, the things that make him laugh when he is tired, the expression he wears first thing in the morning before he remembers to hide himself from the world, yet safe in the knowledge that he doesn’t need to hide it from Shane.

    Somehow, without meaning to, his mind has leapt much further than that, to tomorrow, and every tomorrow after tomorrow, all the same with Ilya in his arms. Shane realizes, with a careless certainty like a dream, that he can do this forever.

    And oh, isn’t that a terrifying thought? To look at another person and discover that your mind and your heart have begun to create pieces of the future around them without your permission?

    Or: Shane confronts the truth that he has spent years running from, following the aftermath of his disastrous night with Rose. In the stillness of Tampa, he shows Ilya just exactly how much he means it.

    Summary

    The first time they hooked up, Rozanov had kissed him before Shane got on his knees. They kissed when Scott Hunter was in the room next-door. And they kissed slowly and sweetly, on his apartment stairway, after Rozanov had taken his world apart and put him back together again. Hell, even in that bathroom, where he felt as if the Russian was trampling on his bared soul, Rozanov had kissed him.

    So why was it different this time? What did he do wrong?

    Shane aches with how much he wants—needs the other man. There is a hollow numbness in his chest every time he thinks about those golden curls and ocean eyes, and he hates himself for wishing he could have more.

    ---

    Wanting Hollander is dangerous, because Ilya is wanting more than he’s allowed to have. But Ilya keeps wanting more and more, because he is vain, selfish, undisciplined. He wants to have Hollander in his arms, sweet, warm, and gorgeous.

    And he will always regret it later, in the quiet moments that come in the aftermath, in the small and lingering ache that follows him once they are apart.

    Or: Shane spirals and avoids Ilya post-Vegas. Ilya chases after him, and they talk.
