Summary
“Ilya,” he clarified, wincing as he swallowed, his throat feeling like he’d eaten a fistful of glass. “I need to call Ilya.”
He fumbled around for his phone, desperately needing to hear his fiance’s voice. Together, they could figure this out. They’d make a plan. Ilya could drive with his parents from Ottawa and–
But Ilya wasn’t in Ottawa. He was in Russia.
No.
No.
They’d kill Ilya in Russia. They’d kill him, or arrest him, or– or–
Oh god, they’d kill him.
__________________________________________________________________________A family emergency means Ilya is in Russia when Hayden's FanMail video ends up on Twitter, outing them to the entire world. It, predictably, ends horribly.

Summary
They’d considered it—Shane being gay. It’d been an option. But Ilya Rozanov and the way Shane looks at him like he’s the love of his life has blindsided them. Blindsided both of them, and there’s almost nothing Yuna likes less than being blindsided.
She’s not mad, David wants to say. We’re so proud of you. We’re so happy for you. We just didn’t know.
Somehow we missed it, you falling in love.
or, what David Hollander and Ilya Rozanov talk about while Shane and Yuna are outside in episode six.

Summary
Shane’s breath stutters, then steadies. His hands curl into the fabric of Ilya’s sweater, holding him close. When Ilya’s mouth lingers a little longer in one spot, Shane hums, soft and content.
“You’re going to leave marks,” Shane says quietly, not stopping him.
“Yes,” Ilya replies just as softly. There’s no teasing in his voice now, only certainty. “Is about time.”
—
Ilya admires Shane in the safety of Shane’s cottage.

Summary
As she watched Rozanov skate half circles around Shane's unconscious body, Jackie Pike felt her heart race. Her body understood what her brain was struggling to make sense of. A few moments later, she realized that she recognized Rozanov's expression. She'd witnessed it on the faces of other WAGs when their men went down hard and had worn it herself a few times. It was the physical manifestation of her recurring nightmare - seeing Hayden hurt and thinking she was about to lose the love of her life. Nothing else existed but that figure lying motionless on the ice.
This was exactly how Rozanov looked at Shane now, and the only possible explanation was love.
Or,
A 5 + 1 story about five people who watch the relationship between Shane and Ilya unfold in real time and come to their own conclusions about what's going on.
Plus, a bonus chapter featuring the family dinner that Shane’s parents invite themselves to right after meeting Ilya for the first time.
