    Summary

    Cliff had to approach this correctly, or Ilya was liable to sock him in the jaw and clam up entirely. Subtlety was his friend here.

    And all of that flew immediately out of his head the moment that Ilya opened his front door, looking sweaty and shirtless and mildly pissed off, which was pretty much his standard look.

    “Are you moving to Canada for some fuckboy?” was how the question came out of his mouth instead.

    AKA the time that Cliff Marleau figured almost all of it out

    Summary

    “Do you think they’re engaged?”

    “Or he’s thinking of popping the question,” David said.

    “Private catered dinner,” Yuna said by way of agreement.

    David patted her hand. “Let’s bring a nice bottle of something, just in case.”

    Shane and Ilya host a dinner party. Each of the guests thinks they know why; most of them are wrong.

    Summary

    "Okay, right, I guess you don't know who I am," the voice says quickly, breathing unevenly. "I'm Hayden."

    “As in…” Troy blinks, trying to force his brain online, “the Voyager’s first-line left wing?”

    “Yes. As in exactly that.” Hayden says, probably a lot stressed because Troy can almost hear him pacing from the other line. “Do you know where the fuck Shane is?”

    Troy is obligated to bring his phone screen into his field of vision one more time just to make sure this is not some bizarre alcohol-induced hallucination.

    “What?” He asks, his voice sharpening, “Why on earth would I know where your captain is?”

    “Shit.” He says, “I meant Ilya.”

    Summary

    Hollander narrowed his eyes. “Are you… jealous?” he asked suspiciously.

    Ilya scoffed. “You can fuck whoever you want, I don’t give a shit.”

    “...Right.” Hollander pulled on his boxers before he dropped the towel. “Because it’s not like you don’t fuck other people too, you know.”

    “I know.”

    “And it’s not that you- you aren’t enough, or whatever.” Hollander turned even more red, looking down. “But, like, we don’t get to see each other that often.”

    “I know.”

    “And, you know, it turns out you can have a lot of anonymous sex if you’re gay. People are surprisingly okay with it.” He said it earnestly, like he was the first person in the world to make this discovery.

    Ilya forced himself to swallow, keeping his face carefully blank. “Is that so?”

    Summary

    “You are planning to rob me or what?” He hears Rozanov call, and he can’t help but smile slightly even as he rolls his eyes, closing the door to the linen closet and feeling strangely lighter than when he opened it, reassured that he’s just trying to read into a blank page, that today doesn’t mean anything more than Rozanov doesn’t mind him being around, which is strangely flattering.

    “I don’t know,” he calls back. “Don’t Russians like diamonds and fur and stuff? Where should I start looking if I want to know what my options are?”

    He hears Rozanov laugh, and it makes him smile.

    When he joins him in the living room once more, Rozanov tugs him down to lean against him again. Shane goes easier this time, settling into it, knowing it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that he just happens to be the closest warm body, the person on Rozanov’s roster who filled today’s slot.

    (the tuna meltdown doesn't happen) (this does not mean they get ANY better at communication)

    (or: how shane didn't realize he had a boyfriend for several months)

    Summary

    “You have a message from: Lily.” The automated voice read out.

    Shane almost swerved into the other lane trying to press the mute button on the dashboard.

    ”Woah, eyes on the road, dude!” Hayden yelled.

    “Ayyy!” J.J cheered. “The famous Boston Lily! Let’s hear what she has to say.”

    The automated voice continued. “Can’t wait to have my [tongue emoji] in your [peach emoji].”

    (while shane is driving certain texts get read out by the car's bluetooth)

    Summary

    John Cook: Hollander keeps possession of the puck as Rozanov checks Cameron out of Hollander's way, and... Hollander scores! What a beaut of a goal that was!

    Patrick Colt: [laughing] I don’t think the opposition know what to do with themselves against Rozanov and Hollander. 

    [Ilya Rozanov skates round to where Shane Hollander is standing. Hollander has a wide grin on his face after the recent goal. 

    Rozanov collides into Hollander, hugging him jokily and leaning to plant a wet his on Hollander’s helmet. However, at the last second, Hollander turns to look at Rozanov. 

    Their lips meet in a kiss.

    The two break apart instantly and stare at each other in horror.]

    Jack Saad: Oh. That’s… Hmm.

    John Cook: [spluttering] Erm-

    Patrick Colt: [faintly] Huh. Well. That’s not something you see everyday.

    Summary

    Hayden watches Shane, almost expecting him to go, "wow, I was hacked while we were at practice, look at these weird messages!". But no such luck. Shane smiles.

    A real smile, a big one, his text from Lily smile. God, Hayden was so sure they were sending each other endless strings of heart emojis and "I miss you more" "no, I miss you more"s, not…that. Never in a million years would he have guessed that.

    Summary

    "You won't if you want to fuck me tonight." Hollander had said in Russian.

    Dmitry glanced up, pausing from where he was unlacing his skates. What the fuck could in the conversation possibly have possibly led to this?

    He glanced at Rozanov, who'd been smirking and teasing Wyatt only a second earlier. Now, his mouth was firmly shut. All the rest of the team stared at Rozanov.

    Wyatt laughed. "Oh my God, Roz I don't even know what he said but you are so damn whipped!"

    "One word from the husband and he shuts up!" Bood crowed.

    Chouinard jumped in. "Yeah, what the hell did you say to shut him up that quickly, Hollzy?"

    (4 times shane was less boring than people thought. including hickeys, never have i ever, being in the room next door to them at a hotel, and a russian rookie)

    “What is there to talk about?”

    “What’s there to talk about?!” Hollander scoffed, shaking his head. “You’re playing for my fucking team!”

    “I know.”

    “Why did you have to go and get traded?! You realise we’re going to have to see each other every day from now on, and play together, and-”

    “Yes,” Ilya interrupted. He didn’t want to know how long Hollander’s list was. “I know.”

    Hollander took a deep breath. “Okay, listen,” he said. “Just so we’re clear - we don’t know each other outside of playing against each other, right?”

    “Right.”

    “And we can’t- can’t hook up anymore.”

    OR: Ilya gets traded to Montreal in October 2014. He's lonely, and angry, and he misses Boston. He doesn't know if it helps that Hollander is there or not.

    Summary

    “My - it’s my,” Shane pants, his hand flapping like Ilya’s sometimes does when he’s searching for an English translation that he can’t quite remember. Shane’s heart squeezes painfully. “He’s-“

    He wants to say my boyfriend is on that plane. He wants to cry, and throw things, and scream the love of my life might be dying while we stand here. But he doesn’t. He can’t. His voice can’t find the words, can’t find the strength to speak, and even if he could - would he? Would Shane tell the whole world that for him, it has always been Ilya? Will only ever be Ilya?

    Summary

    Ilya let himself soften into it. He’d missed this, the simple camaraderie between teammates. He did feel lonely, but in some ways he felt safer with this team, and Shane had given him that, it was because of Shane that he moved to Ottawa. All the good things in his life curved back to Shane. Looking around, he tried to imagine him here, not Shane Hollander the hockey player, but his Shane, the man who made the darkest rooms feel like home. He felt suddenly certain that they would welcome him with love and respect. And, God help him, he was still hoping like an idiot that Shane would walk through the door.

    Ilya tightened his grip on his roasting stick, jaw set, trying to divert his thoughts back to the present, when a ripple went through the group. Conversation dipped, then stopped completely.

    “Um… what the fuck,” Dillon muttered, eyes flicking toward the house. “Is that Shane Hollander?”

    Or Shane decides to go get his man after seeing Ilya’s instagram post in Chap.23 of TLG.

    Summary

    They’re in bed, spooning in the afterglow but still connected. Ilya’s face is red, his eyes half-lidded. He looks almost drunk, feral and raw. Shane feels like he’s melted into the bed and never wants to leave it. Like he could lie here, claimed and had, for the rest of his life.

    And then there’s a knock at the door. He recognizes the pattern, which is a blessing and a curse both. Tap–ta-tap. The way his father always does.

    Summary

    Shane knew that his parents wanted him to settle down. He was only in his mid-twenties, but compared to many of his teammates, he might as well have been on the verge of dying alone. Now that he was injured and staying with his parents, Yuna’s attempts at matchmaking had picked up again, this time in full force.

    Except Shane was in a very secret relationship with Ilya Rozanov. It was a wrench in the works of Yuna’s matchmaking operation that made things a lot more complicated.
