Summary
Summer 2011 to Summer 2014
This is part of a longer series & there are things referenced in here that are directly related to the previous works. It is canon-compliant with the TV series only. The time period is post-Rookie season MLH awards to the summer of 2014 (all of S1E2). It uses no source material from the books. This is a take on all of the missing time from the show. What were they up to? How did they feel about not hooking up for two years?
During warm ups, Ilya noticed that Shane was near center ice doing his stretches. He decided he’d meander over and see if he couldn’t engage. Once he was a few feet away from him, Ilya said, “Hollander.”
Ilya bent over and acted like he was fiddling with the blade of his stick.
Shane didn’t respond. And Ilya couldn’t cross the center line to force the issue. Shit. He stood up, did a couple of circles on the ice and used the motion to move right up to the line. He tried to ensure that his voice was soft, but not overly emotional. He couldn’t let himself sound like he was begging. Even though he was.
“Hollander. Please.”
Shane still wouldn’t look at him. “Go away, Rozanov.”

Summary
Shane pulls back, carefully cradling Ilya’s face. “Maybe we shouldn’t.”
“You don’t want to?” Ilya’s eyes are bottomless; swimming with grief. He says it like he really means, You don’t want me?
“That isn’t what I mean,” Shane says gently, brushing his thumb over Ilya’s cheekbone. Ilya’s eyes flutter shut, as if being treated so tenderly causes him physical pain. Like he isn’t used to it. “You’re hurting. I don’t want you to regret it in the morning.”
Ilya’s eyes open. “I have never regretted a moment with you.”

Summary
“You really wouldn’t mind if I had sex with someone else?”
Ilya does mind. Hearing it said back to him, almost makes him flinch, a sudden and brittle sound right next to his ear that he fails to recoil from in time. But he swallows back the bitter truth and replies, “Of course not. If that is what you want.”
He waits, sitting on his living room couch, phone pressed painfully against his ear, his other hand gripping his knees till his knuckles blanched. He could feel his own heart rattling behind his ribs, pulse rockingloudly. His mind was an echo of alarm, demanding of him: Why isn't Shane saying anything?
It was the loudest silence he’s ever lived through, until Shane finally said, “Okay.”
OR: inspired by the fight in TLG where Ilya tells Shane he can sleep with other men. But this time, Shane actually takes the offer.
