    Summary

    Their first year of marriage was the best year of Ilya’s life. He got to wake up to his husband every morning, play hockey with him all day, and go home with him every night. They’d established a routine that felt comfortable and reliable, and Ilya felt settled for perhaps the first time in his life. They had dinner with Shane’s parents at least once a week, and afterwards he would destroy them all at Yahtzee. It was the kind of domestic bliss that Ilya had always secretly dreamed of, but never felt he deserved. The years ahead of them stretched with endless possibility, and Ilya felt wonderfully, exceedingly lucky to be alive.

    But a phone call after a quiet day at the cottage changes everything. And suddenly, their future becomes dangerously uncertain.

    Summary

    "We have newest member of the team with us today, as you all have seen.”

    Shane glanced up again, watching as the captain gestured vaguely toward Shane without looking at him. “Shane Hollander.” The name came out of his mouth like it was laced with poison.

    Shane became very aware of many eyes turning to him now. He felt a few claps on the back and tried to force a tight smile. But his eyes wandered back up to Ilya Rozanov, who was looking at him with so much quiet contempt, that Shane started to understand the phrase ‘if looks could kill.’
     

    /

    OR: Ilya spirals into a deep depression when Shane breaks things off with him definitively after a horrifying run in with their feelings (and tuna melts).

    They go no contact for close to a year until Shane is unexpectedly traded to Boston the following season.

    Shane finds his new captain is a version of Ilya he's never seen before: dark, icy, and distant.

    But their newfound proximity mixed with old feelings creates a complicated dynamic that they can't ignore forever.

    Summary

    An unexpected encounter with Ilya Rozanov - and a newly changed perspective of him - leads Yuna into a series of conversations with both halves of the rivalry - and slowly into both an unexpected friendship and a new understanding of what the 'rivalry' entails.
    Or: (5 times Yuna reached out to Ilya, +1 time he reached out to her first; 5 times Yuna tried to get Shane to talk to her, +1 time she didn't need to.)

    Summary

    But when Ilya felt Shane rest his head, Ilya knew it was okay to move. So he snaked his arms around Shane's waist to pull him closer, a soft kiss to the top of the brunette's shoulder before turning slightly to kiss the top of his ear.

    "tired again?" Ilya asked, his voice laced with a soft tease that made Shane softly smile "hmm." He nodded, Ilya's lips curled into a smirk "you have no stamina for hockey player... " He began, that tease still there "But, is okei. Sleep"

    OR

    What if instead of panicking and leaving, Shane had actually stayed the night with Ilya?
