    Summary

    The Centaurs are kind, good people; on some level, Shane does know this.
    But he feels as if he’s been trying to play hockey without skates, his feet slipping out from under him as he fights to gain an inch of ground. He watches everyone else glide and coast like it takes no effort at all, while he clutches the boards, hesitant and plagued with uncertainty. He can’t gain purchase enough on the ice to catch up to them.

    or:

    5 times Shane Hollander starts to find his footing with the Centaurs + 1 time he doesn't question it

    Summary

    "It just works better like that. Taking his mind off of the logistics and the meaning of it all and the implications lets him put that focus to better work on the actual thing he cares about: hockey. It really isn’t that different from outsourcing his branding to Mom, or any less embarrassing than his dietician meal prepping for him or his trainer mapping out his workout plan. They’re experts in their field, nutrition and marketing and fucking. Shane is an expert in his: taking all that into his body and using it to be fucking awesome at hockey. It’s win, win, win.

    Meals get delivered at his door. Room numbers and plans get texted to him. And appointments with photographers get emailed with subject lines reminding him to remember to use the good shampoo in his hair before them.

    He’s still in control in the sense he’s letting it all happen for him, except that sometimes, especially at these stupid fucking photoshoots, it feels a little bit like it’s happening to him, instead."

    Shane gets into a bad situation with a photographer who has pictures Shane would rather not get out. Ilya and Rose find out about it, eventually.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander spends the 2010 Prospect Cup Tournament in a small room, being questioned by police. He thinks that telling the truth will save him. Instead, he’s betrayed by his teammates and pushed to the forefront of a scandal that destroys his chances with any NHL team. Only one professional hockey league is willing to look the other way.

    Desperate to play, Shane Hollander signs a contract with the KHL, packs his things, and moves to Russia.

     

    (Or: As he grapples with a scandal, Shane gives up on the NHL and ends up playing on Ilya Rozanov’s KHL team in Moscow. Timeline compliant AU – we don’t know what Ilya was doing in 2010 before he was drafted, so it’s possible he spent some time in the KHL)
