Summary
Shane squinted at Ilya, and tilted his head slightly in thought.
"I know "tebya" is "you", and "etot" is "this"... I'm too sleepy to translate the rest. What does that mean, Ilya?"
Ilya froze. He didn't realize he had said it out loud- didn't know why he had said it. He had said it thoughtlessly, had been too caught up in his thoughts and in the dream of his mama, had forgotten his painfully smart and 'good at everything' boyfriend had been trying to learn Russian for him. How could he explain what the words meant? That they encapsulated all of Ilya's fears about his relationship with Shane?
"Is nothing, moya lyubov." he said, continuing to stroke Shane's face. He hoped Shane would believe him at his word this once, that Shane would allow him to keep his emotions that were now bubbling to the surface under wraps. But Shane was staring at him with that look on his face, and he knew he would have to explain.
"It means... "Someone will love you better than this."
Or: Ilya has trauma and is not sure he is good enough for the love Shane provides; Shane straightens him out.

Summary
“There’s information coming out that the Centaur’s plane crashed on its way to Tampa.”
The entire world tilts on its axis.
For a moment Shane feels like he’s being burned alive, and then in an instant it’s just bitter cold; there’s ice in his veins, his lungs, his heart. God, his heart. Is it still beating? He can’t tell. Surely not. Surely, if Ilya were - if he were gone, then Shane’s heart would have fallen still. There would be nothing left for it to beat for.

Summary
Ilya clocks it very quickly when Shane comes home from an additional practice, carrying himself awkwardly and holding his weight off of his right ankle. He watches without a word as Shane attempts to walk properly, fighting the wince in his face. He wants to ask if Shane thinks he’s that good of an actor, or if Ilya is that stupid he can’t pick up on a hidden injury.
Or, Shane hides an injury. Ilya isn’t impressed.

Summary
We could talk about what the fuck Shane sees in you.
Ilya is still thinking about it hours later. In Shane’s dark bedroom, with the man in question snoring softly beside him, Ilya can’t let Hayden’s comment at dinner go.
In the moment, he didn’t process the jab as anything more than an excuse to take a cheap shot right back at Hayden. But now that the dust has settled on his first official conversation with Shane’s best friend, Ilya can’t forget the snide remark.
It’s not the first time someone questioned why someone like Ilya would be like someone with Shane. The first time anyone ever saw them as a couple, Shane’s dad made a comment about Shane being unable to find any ‘nice boys in Montreal’. Sure, they were still reeling from the shock of Ilya being more than a hockey player that runs his mouth more than not, but Ilya understands the implication. He is not a ‘nice boy’, not the kind of man that Shane deserves.

Summary
The idea was simple: make Ilya wear a mic during practice, film it, let him be his entertaining self and get a viral post out of it. Harris should have gotten an easy win there. Instead he gets invested in his captain's latest lovers' quarrel and learns that athletes can be emotionally mature... kind of.

Summary
“Come on, baby, once in a while does not hurt. Rookies say that drunk cigarettes don’t count, have you ever heard that? I think is funny,” Ilya tries, his kisses softer now, trying to work Shane into the soft, pliant mess he loves.
It doesn’t work. In fact – “What’s that, Ilya?”
Ilya is biting anywhere he can find, “I don’t have gun license, so I must be happy to see you.”
But that doesn’t work either. Shane finally moves – only to grab at Ilya’s collar, pulling it so that it digs into the back of his neck, which has Ilya pausing as Shane inspects. “That, Ilya. What’s that.”
or, Shane finds some (perfectly explainable) lipstick on Ilya's collar, and they both go through emotional saw traps

Summary
Last night, Ilya dreamed Shane served him divorce papers. They were making dinner when suddenly Shane pulled them out of the microwave and thrust them into Ilya’s hand. This isn’t working, he said. I’m divorcing you. No negotiations.
And look: of course Ilya understands that it was just a dream. The official divorce petition was a stack of sticky notes. Shane had faintly green skin and, Ilya is pretty sure, a third eye next to his left nipple. It obviously wasn’t real.
But.

“Be careful,” Shane frets, one hand hovering over Ilya’s shoulder. “It’s icy, and I don’t want to be a widower.”
“Oh, we’d have to be much higher than this for the fall to kill me,” Ilya says, gaze still fixed on the cool black skyline. “At least seven stories.”
It’s not until much later, as the waitress is clearing the dishes from dinner, that Yuna finds herself wondering why Ilya knows exactly how high a fall needs to be in order to kill him.
Or: Yuna learns about Ilya's past bit by bit over the years.

Summary
Ilya.
That was pretty much all Shane had thought since Coach Theriault marched back into practice, and told him that they needed to have a chat.
The video itself felt like a bad dream, down to his Coach yelling at him as he watched them kiss on the screen. But the fact that Ilya was in Russia? That had dropped him into the worst panic attack he'd ever had.
or
Ilya is in Russia when Brad uploads the FanMail video. Shane tries to cope.
