Summary
“What are you doing here?"
He’s thankful his voice doesn’t shake, but he’s trembling. And he knows Ilya notices. Even all these years later, he’s sure he can still read Shane like a fucking book.
Ilya’s smile softens and he points to the ice, where the player whose eyes had brought Shane back to Before lines up with the other boys.
“My son."
Ilya never goes to the cottage. Nearly two decades later, they meet again.

Summary
When Ilya Rozanov goes down on the ice, the Boston Bears are already moving to defend their captain. No one expects Shane Hollander, captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, to be the one who throws the first punch.
Or: the Boston Bears figure out Ilya and Shane’s relationship first—and decide that instead of letting their captain move to fucking Ottawa, they’ll just kidnap a his boyfriend instead. Shane Hollander would make a better Bear anyway.

Summary
“How did you know that Novikov needed tape earlier?” Ilya asked as he came back up. “He did not say anything himself, yes? Or you would not have texted me about it.”
“I heard him say it in Russian to himself,” Shane replied with a grin, switching to Russian.
Ilya’s face lit up like a Christmas tree. “You did? And you understood him?”
“Yes! I was so happy that I understood what he said. Of course, I had to tell you because nobody knows I can speak Russian.”
“Yes, it would be suspicious.”
===
A new Russian player, Dimitri Novikov, is drafted onto the Ottawa Centaurs in the same season that Shane Hollander is unceremoniously traded from the Montreal Voyageurs. His reasons for leaving Montreal are unclear, and the reasons he chose Ottawa are even less so. However, as Dimitri begins to suspect that Shane secretly knows Russian, his curiosity ends up getting him wrapped up in a relationship he didn’t even know existed. But perhaps a little turbulence is what Shane and Ilya needed to realize their relationship is strong enough to weather anything that comes their way.

Summary
What if Shane and Ilya had much more explicit yearning and wanting at their first International Prospect Cup in Winter 2008 and at the draft in Summer 2009? What if this builds and builds to them hooking up for the first time at their second International Prospect Cup in winter 2009 instead of waiting until 6 months later at the CCM shoot? (They are both still 18+!!!) What if there's a blizzard and Shane and Ilya have to share a hotel room? What if they were super super soft lil love sick guys? What if they hook up again at the CCM shoot?
or
Canon-compliant-ish & slow burn-ish & yearning & WANTING & sorta realizing feelings very early on & being love sick lil sweet guys + Bed sharing trope makes me go feral.

Summary
Five years ago, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov quietly went their separate ways. They handled their heartbreak differently. Shane cut off his family and friends and focused only on hockey, not that it helped, his game has totally fallen apart. Ilya had the support of the Centaurs, even if they didn't know why they were supporting him.
But when Ilya announces his retirement at the end of the next season, it shakes Shane back to reality. He has one season left to play against the man he still loves; and then, would he ever see him again? As Shane starts to piece his life back together, the biggest missing piece is still Ilya.
Ilya had planned to just enjoy the last season he'd play of professional hockey and obviously try to win another cup. But when Shane reaches back out, he has much more to consider. He never expected to talk to Shane again, but he can't deny that it's everything he's wanted in the last five years.
Can they salvage what they had? Should they even try? How can Shane and Ilya be a part of each other's lives again?
