    Summary

    “Oh yes, I’m sure doctors would say this is fine,” Rozanov waved his hands around more violently. “‘Yes, Hollander’ they would say, ‘take your broken ribs and go get fucked so hard you cannot move. Is no problem, no problem at all’.”

    “Bruised, not broken,” Shane corrected, although he knew that wasn’t really the point. “And a little rough sex isn’t going to kill me. I’ll be back on the ice before the next Raiders game, it won’t affect the season if you’re like…worried about poor sportsmanship or whatever.”

    “Fuck Hollander, I do not care about the season! I care about–” Rozanov cut himself off sharply.


    Shane gets injured during a game, then tries to hide that fact from Ilya. It goes about as well as you might expect.

    Summary

    Ilya hadn’t lied to Shane when he’d told him it had been a good day. And he hadn’t been lying to himself when he’d privately thought of it as one of his best days, either.

    Which means that when Ilya wakes up at 5am the next morning feeling like there’s a ten-ton brick wedged in the space between his lungs and his ribcage, he knows it’s not because of everything that happened the day before.

    Not really. Not once you crack open his sternum and start poking around at the dark, squishy guts of it all.


    Meeting Shane's parents brings up some unexpected emotions for Ilya. It's not the first time, and he's sure it won't be the last, but at least this time he doesn't have to deal with them on his own.

    Summary

    Welcome to my conspiracy theory that there is an alternate timeline to the Great Tuna Meltdown of October 2016. What would have happened if Shane *had* stayed the night? This is a look at the evening and morning that could have been.

    Summary

    Ilya sits down carefully and takes Shane’s hand. “I am going to ask you something, and I want you to try not to freak out, okay? Take a breath, think about it.”
    That sounds… serious.
    “The Centaurs are having a barbeque,” Ilya says. “I would like to go, and I would like you to come with me.”

    Shane meets the Centaurs. As Ilya's close personal friend slash charity partner from Canada.
