    Summary

    This thing that they have—whatever the hell it is—it’s good. It’s easy. It feels like the only thing keeping Ilya afloat sometimes.

    He can’t let it get to a place where it’s more than just a good, convenient fuck and some fun teasing in between. Even if sometimes, in brief moments of tenderness, it already feels like it’s more than that. Or at least like it’s something that can be, if they just let it.

    But they don’t. They can’t.

    Although sometimes, Ilya does find himself giving in to the urge to look at Shane just a little bit longer, to let his touch be just a little bit gentler, more reverent, than what it would be for something as casual as they claim this to be—albeit sparingly.

    Sometimes, just for a moment, he lets himself indulge. He lets some of that affection bleed out of him because he feels like he’ll implode if he doesn’t.

    But he always catches himself before it can linger.

    Summary

    After Alexei walks in on Sasha hitting on Ilya at the gala in Sochi, he does the most predictable - but terrifying - thing: he blackmails Ilya Rozanov, on the threat of telling Russia, and their father, the truth about Ilya's sexuality.

    It's a good thing that a very helpful, boring Canadian with gorgeous freckles offers to help him defect from Russia, in the most insane way possible: through marriage. To him.

    Or, Shane and Ilya do their relationship completely out of order. And, they realize later, they wouldn't have it any other way.

    Summary

    Thank you for reading, commenting and supporting this story!

    The gist of the story:

    They used to be enemies on the ice.
    Now they share a bed, a marriage, a life, and a target on their backs.

    The league calls it optics and order.
    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov call it erasure.

    As forces beyond the rink move to control the narrative, separate them, and punish anyone who steps out of line, Shane and Ilya are forced to confront what it really means to fight…for love, for legacy, and for the family they are determined to build.

    This time, they’re done playing by the league’s rules.
    This time, they’re playing for keeps.

    Set one year after The Long Game, this story follows the fallout of a commissioner who refuses to loosen his grip, and the players who finally refuse to bend and are led by the Queer and Ally Hockey Alliance that was created by Scott Hunter.

    As Shane’s first season with Ottawa draws to a close, everything is on the line.

    Summary

    Shane is stooped over to strap on his shin guards when his phone buzzes once in Hayden’s hand.

    He doesn’t mean to tap the notification.

    And oh god, does he wish he could un-tap the fucking notification.

    Because why the fuck has Lily, Shane’s mysterious Boston hook-up of several years (no matter how fervently he denies it), sent him a picture of a fucking sonogram.

    Black and white, blurry, and undeniably baby-shaped.

    Ilya makes a joke, Hayden breaks Shane’s phone, and a comedy of errors ensues.
