    Summary

    Another "what-if" canon divergence, but this time make us cry (not new for me, but definitely next level).

    What-if: the plane crashed, and Ilya died.

    Glimpses of Shane's shock and grief:

    Shane on the bus ride to the hotel, but instead of seeing Ilya's messages, he finds out the plane went down.
    Shane at his parents.
    Shane at Ilya's house.

    Summary

    (Please, I’m begging you, note the Archive Warning and read the tags)

    You can do your best. You can love as hard as you can, keep each other safe, and work through difficult problems, but life is life. It’s as devastating as it is beautiful.

    For a beautiful love story, possibly a fix-it of The Long Game, read ch 1-24.

    For the full experience, read the whole thing.

    First canon divergence: Shane’s dad doesn’t need to borrow a charger while they’re at the cabin.

    Summary

    “Are you… are you saying that you want to be in a relationship with Shane Hollander?” The room held a sort of tension, like everyone in it was holding their breath, waiting for Ilya to vehemently deny it.

    The reporter had taken his words in the complete opposite way than Ilya had meant them, but he supposed he was too committed to stop now. “Of course not.”

    “Of course.” The reporter parroted, laughing nervously.

    “Obviously, we are already in a relationship.”

    In Ilya’s rookie season, he impulsively jokes about dating Shane to an invasive reporter. Then, he just… keeps doing it, since publicly announcing it enough times that everyone writes it off as a joke is a great way to hide a clandestine relationship.
