Summary
A second, then a blur. Ilya knocking over one of the kitchen island stools to engulf Shane. His shaking frame holding Shane so tight, Shane felt himself shaking back. He could only hold on back, just as tightly.
“Please.” Came the strangled voice by his left ear. “Please, tell me.”
And who was Shane to ever deny a wish of Ilya Rozanov.
“I’m signing to Ottawa. Tomorrow. If you would want to come with.”
And then Ilya was shoving him back, holding him close to his face. “Of course. I drive. Of course I come.”
Or
Shane, fed up with Montreal, signs to Ottawa before their relationship is revealed. While he doesn't plan on keeping that a secret for long, he asks Ilya to let him get to know the team first, before they come out. To maybe have a normal season. Meanwhile, the rest of the Centaurs are going crazy trying to figure out what is going on between their captain and Shane Hollander and why they keep showing up in the same car??Series

Summary
Shane Hollander’s hopes for the NHL were ripped from him by an ACL tear and replaced with doctor prescribed opioids at age 18. Four years later, hockey is a distant memory and his days consist of strange men and chasing a feeling drugs can never seem to provide anymore.
Ilya Rozanov’s family returned home to Russia when his father’s mental state deteriorated and the government wasted no time snatching back his work visa. Ilya stayed behind in that godforsaken city to do the only thing he had ever been able to support his family doing: sell dope.
Ilya sees a lot of sad people. Shane sees a lot of horny men. Neither of them are prepared for what they see in each other, and what it means for the boxes they’ve allowed themselves to be put into.

Summary
“What videos, Ilya?” David asked, his tone laced with concern, but Ilya couldn’t deal with that right now. He was never putting his phone on Do Not Disturb again.
He had more notifications than when he’d checked it at the gym. Transactions made with the card from their shared account, alerts to change Shane's email passwords. Shit, shit, shit.
“Ilya…” David said again, more demanding this time, making him finally look up.
Videos of us that are going to make you look at me differently. Videos that might make you hate me. Videos that could ruin everything.
His throat went dry.
And maybe… send me to prison.
or When Shane’s phone is stolen and he ends up in the hospital, Ilya has to deal with his severely injured husband, and with videos that could leak and change their lives forever. The video Pike had accidentally leaked years ago would be child’s play in comparison.

Summary
“I am serious, though, you are safe, yes? Drunk at hotel, sitting on balcony, crying over Montreal’s terrible loss?”
It makes sense that Ilya’s mind would go there first. Shane said he was outside. Based on past behavior, the hotel balcony is probably the only place Ilya would expect him to be. He feels a little giddy that he gets to shock him for once.
“I’m at a club, actually.” He has to bite back a self-satisfied smile as he speaks, “With the team. Safe.”
It's quiet for a few moments before Ilya deadpans,
“Very funny joke.”
(or: three days after the breakup with rose, shane gets drunk in boston. it spirals out from there.)

Summary
Despite the ordeal being pitched as a family affair, Yuna and David were seated ten rows behind him. Shane had a vague recollection of a conversation about their seating arrangements. You’ll be next to a Swedish prince – no, a princess – no, a prince. Jeez, the font on these emails is too small. David, can you hand me my glasses?
As promised, Shane was seated beside a prince. He was obscenely beautiful. His hair reflected a white-gold twinge in the sun, with eyebrows to match, fading into his browbone. A straight nose, rose-bud lips, and skin as smooth as porcelain. A glittering diamond hanging off one earlobe. Objectively beautiful. Regrettably not who he wanted.
Or: What if, post-tuna meltdown, Ilya gets injured and the All-Stars reunion never happens. Shane and Ilya don't make up. Shane actually goes to Wimbledon that year and gets a lot more than he bargained for.
Or: The Wimbledon Swedish prince fic.

Years later, Briggs makes the Ottawa Centaurs out of camp. The Centaurs' plane makes an emergency landing, Ilya still sends Shane those messages, but Shane doesn't answer.
