    Summary

    Ilya considers himself a reasonable man. Sure, one might say he’s more obsessed with Shane than is strictly healthy, but it’d be more unreasonable if he had the king of hockey in his bed (and in his heart) and he wasn’t obsessed. Still, he’d like to think that he’s above becoming jealous of fictional characters. And he is above it. Of course he is. It would have been one thing if Shane had told Ilya about his childhood crush on Anakin Skywalker at the beginning of May, when they had a summer-long stretch of lazy weekends at the cottage and busy days at the Irina Foundation and warm bright mornings where Ilya gets to watch Shane wake up in his arms.

     

    But it’s late September, and Ilya’s mad at everything.

     

    Or: Ilya finds out about Shane’s childhood crush on a certain tortured Jedi, and it dredges up old insecurities.

    Summary

    Nothing’s wrong. It’s just that Shane Hollander’s standing here in his kitchen, barefoot and dressed in Ilya’s softest, ugliest clothes, ready to help him cook dinner. It’s just that, after nearly a decade, after so much pain and heartache and distance, Shane Hollander is here in Ilya’s kitchen, looking at him with such obvious love and care and worry. It’s just that, after everything Ilya’s done over the years to deter Shane from loving him, Shane’s stubbornly, doggedly refused to stop.

    It’s just that Ilya kept that stupid, ugly t-shirt—wore it by himself in his big empty house, wore it smoking on his balcony, wore it to sleep, packed it with him when he went back to Russia for his father’s funeral—because he thought that it might be the only bit of Shane he ever got to keep.

    And he was wrong. God, he’s never been more grateful to be wrong in his life.

    OR: Shane wears Ilya’s ugliest, most embarrassing t-shirt, and Ilya reacts like Moses at the burning bush.

    Summary

    “Sweetheart, your pretty little head is so silly. For every photocard I make of ugly hockey men, I make two of my gorgeous, radiant, pulchritudinous boyfriend. Sometimes three.”

    A smile breaks through the heated haze of Shane’s expression. “You’ve been using the thesaurus Dad got you for Christmas?”

    “I will beat Yuna Hollander at Scrabble one day,” Ilya declares against Shane’s hip bone.

    In the year between the Cottage and the Centaurs, Ilya misses Shane more than ever. Svetlana’s teenage cousin offers a coping method: Kpop-style Shane Hollander photocards to stare at all day long. It's a shame carrying around pictures of fellow hockey players is just not socially acceptable.

    …At least, not yet.
     
    (AKA: Ilya's mission to desensitize the hockey world to his Hollander fanboyisms, and the NHL players that suffer for it.)

    Summary

    Anyway, Shane didn't remember exactly what was in the folder ... But he knew they were all good shots of him.

    He hastily clicked open the folder, his eyes barely glancing through the dozen or so shots there, vaguely registering a picture with a sunset background from his condo balcony, something of him laughing, a picture of him working at his laptop with his glasses on...

    The director called him again, and he shook his head, the photos blurring. Whatever. It would have to do.

    He clicked "select all," then the messages icon, then Rozanov's name. Hit send.

    ----

    Or: When never-hooked-up Shane and Ilya have to collaborate on a league charity project, Shane accidentally sends Ilya a nude.
