    Summary

    "Do you ever wonder-"

    "Oh god, yes," Ilya blurts out before he can even register the words leaving his lips. "Literally all the time."

    -

    AU where Ilya does cut things off before the cottage and Shane lets him.

    He watches Shane’s life and career from a safe distance, secretly looking forward to any games when they’d share the ice.

    Years on, Shane publicly comes out and transfers to the Ottawa Centaurs out of necessity.

    A story of repair. Eventually.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander comes out before opening night and unleashes Shane Hollander Hysteria across the NHL.
    All-Stars circle like it’s free agency and he’s the only contract available.
    His DMs combust. Rival captains get bold. Hotel rooms get interesting. The league gets possessive.
    The Metros couldn’t care less because Shane keeps dominating on the ice while getting fucked in every time zone.
    It becomes the worst-kept secret in professional hockey: everyone wants their turn.
    Ilya Rozanov is handling this very normally.

    Or:
    Shane Hollander comes out and discovers that freedom can look like a lot of things.
    Sometimes it looks like sex in every time zone.
    Sometimes it looks like queer community forming around him across the league and far beyond it.
    Sometimes it looks like becoming the most confident version of himself he has ever been.
    And somewhere in the middle of all of it, one rival captain starts realizing he may have made a catastrophic mistake.
    Unfortunately for him, Shane Hollander is having a great time.

    Summary

    Galina stopped writing to look at Ilya. "Do you think he'd be willing to talk to you next time it happens, even if it's late?"

    Ilya's stomach turned over. He didn't even want to consider it, but he knew the answer. "Yes. But he silences his phone at night."

    "Most phones these days have an option to let certain numbers ring through, even on Do Not Disturb. Do you think he'd be open to setting that up for you?"

    Imagining that conversation made Ilya nauseous. Yes, no fucking doubt, Shane would be open to it if Ilya explained the reason. "I'm not going to ask him to do that."

    Set during The Long Game, an alternate version where the plane scene doesn't happen. Instead, there's this: a car crash, a therapist's duty to report, and an urgent reckoning with priorities.
