Summary
(summary and tags contain SPOILERS for earlier works in the series!)
Shane and Ilya are champions. They are partners, and they’re in it for life. And people are starting to notice.
After being traumatically outed two years ago, Shane and Ilya's relationship and their lives have been fundamentally changed, and most days, Shane thinks that's a good thing. But sometimes, the pressure of being out, and the endless online speculation about #hollanov, and rumors running rampant through the NHL, and a new generation of rookies looking up to them, and the knowledge that everyone is relying on Shane Hollander to be perfect at all times—sometimes it's a lot.
But Shane's dealing with it. Ilya seems happier than he's ever been, and Shane just needs to get his act together to support his husband. He can do that. He needs to, and he will, if he doesn't crack under the pressure first.
They've got a second Stanley Cup to win, after all.

Summary
Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.
And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.
Just once. Just a single nod.
Why did he have to nod?
“Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”
“Of course.”
Of course.
“Was it better?”
“Yes.”
+++
Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

Summary
Ilya doesn't just move teams; he moves cities. Ilya finds more surprises along the way than he expected, but Shane watches over him along the way.
Or: a loose series of vignettes of Ilya's first few months in Ottawa.

Summary
Anna Garcia wanted to be in the same room as some of the most talented players to ever exist. She wanted a seat at the table she’d been laser-focused on since she was barely old enough to see over its edge. And after years of singleminded work and obsession, here she was— on the ice at TD Garden during warmups, about to interview Ilya Rozanov.
Or: I saw a video of a hockey player catching a puck right before it hit a reporter in the head, and I HAD to write Ilya doing that. It accidentally became a story about how a toxic and sexist culture can condition women into thinking that disrespect is just the price they pay for success, and how sometimes it only takes a couple good people in a sea of assholes and bystanders to show you that you deserve more. I like to imagine that Ilya and Shane would be those people.

Summary
It’s late in the first period when the news breaks.
Shane stands. He’s not sure why, not at first, as he sweeps the ice, looking for blood or a mouthful of teeth or anything that would explain this sudden silence.
Le Centre-Bell is never quiet.- -
Hayden's video leaks partway through the 2022 season, while Montréal is playing Ottawa. Shane trades himself to the opposing team.
- -
Or: remember when Patrick Roy traded himself in the middle of a game? Shane can do that, too.
