Summary
Shane is still learning that he doesn't have to be perfect in his own relationship. Ilya is still learning the rules of Shane's bad days. So when Shane tries to push him away after a crushing loss, it leads to a tense argument. But ten years of rivalry are no match for Shane’s tears; the second he starts to cry, Ilya folds like a house of cards.
Or: Shane tries to starve himself as punishment for losing, Ilya tries to feed him, and it turns into a very soft night of pampering because Ilya is legally incapable of staying angry at a crying Shane.

Summary
Shane lifts one eyelid again to look at Rozanov. His eyes are red-rimmed. Like he’s been crying. “Why…why aren’t you in Boston?”
Rozanov’s brow furrows. “Why would I be in Boston?”
“You, you’re captain. Raiders. Boston.”
The room is silent except for the beeping of monitors.
In 2023, Shane takes a bad hit on the ice. When he wakes up, the last thing he remembers is a tuna melt.
There’s a lot to get used to.

Summary
Ilya doesn’t even realize when Arthur slips from his thoughts. There’s no sharp turn, no clear moment where the article stops being about a little boy who loves reptiles and starts being about the man lying beside him in bed. It just… happens. The way his mind always seems to find Shane eventually, like water finding its lowest point.

Summary
Shane claps Ilya on the shoulder, an unabashed grin splitting his face. “Don’t take it so hard, buddy, it’s only the pre-season,” he says easily, the same way he’d try to reassure a wide-eyed rookie, but tinged with playfulness.
He expects a quip and maybe a shove from Ilya, but instead, Ilya’s expression loosens, surprise flickering in his eyes. He seems…far away, all of a sudden. But the sharpness returns in almost an instant, making Shane wonder if he’d imagined it. The expected shove comes, causing Shane’s grin to creep back.
“I am not your buddy, Hollander,” says Ilya.
—
In Shane’s teasing, he accidentally brushes against something that neither he nor Ilya can quite put words to.

Summary
“Are you– are your fingers in your mouth?”
Shane mewled again.
Rozanov spit out some rapid fire Russian, and Shane vaguely heard the slick sound of his hand wrapped around himself speed up.
“You need something in your mouth that bad, Hollander?”Shane practically sobbed, his voice was completely shot. But Rozanov seemed to understand anyway.
“I know, I know. You will not have to use your fingers next time, pretty thing. Pull the tie.”
Shane obeyed, not caring enough to smother the long string of moans that follow the motion.
“Fuck, you like having something around your neck that much? Do I need to get you a leash, щенок?”-
or: an episode 2 fix it of sorts, with ties around necks and illusions to dogs on leashes.
