    Summary

    Nothing feels right or good. Not the weight of his pads or the glide of his skates over fresh ice. Not the crispness of the rink air or the roar of a sold out Montreal crowd. Not his teammates’ triumphant shouts when he sinks a goal or cool water in his throat after a hard workout or well wishing texts from his parents before every game. It’s all just… faded.

    Grey.

    Empty.

    Shane doesn’t know how to bring color back into his life. Not when he leeched it out himself with every step he took away from the only person who has ever truly, honestly seen him.

    After Shane walks away, his life falls apart one piece at a time.

    Summary

    The next day, Shane has to face his foolishness.

    Thirty-four messages sent to Ilya stare at him from his phone screen. All received and read, but none deserving of a reply.

    — Shane's accident on the ice isn't enough to stop Ilya from breaking up with him. Or rather, from completely disappearing from his life.

    Summary

    In Vegas, after they’d said everything right up to the edge of I love you, Shane and Ilya came up with a plan. It was long term, with many, many steps. There might be a spreadsheet somewhere that Shane won’t admit to.

    But it’s a plan, nonetheless. Over the summer of 2014, they tweak it and add things important to the both of them. There are even many, extensive, contingency plans.

    OR

    Thanks to Shane's small lie the first time they hooked up, Shane and Ilya are together years earlier. Now, they have to figure out what to do about it.

    Summary

    Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”

    “Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.

    He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.

    Nobody knows why Shane Hollander dropped out of the 2009 draft at the last second, and a year later it stuns the whole hockey world when he's signed by the Boston Raiders. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston - but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.

    Summary

    Canon divergence with an added A/B/O world -
    In July of 2016, while in Moscow, Ilya learns he is being traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs. His father blames it on his 'poor performances' and sees it as an embarrassment for their family and their country. He wants Ilya to stay in Moscow, but Ilya does not. He leaves immediately and safely reaches Toronto, but once there, he learns that Russia has cancelled his passport and Canada cannot issue a work visa for him until that is cleared up, or other criteria are met that would allow him to become a citizen. Ilya doesn't think there is any way for him to get the visa or become a citizen in the timeframe he has, so he resigns himself to going back to Russia.
    But first, he wants to say goodbye to Shane, knowing it will be the last time he sees him.
