Summary
“Ilya,” she says, heart thundering. “If… if I asked you if you loved me, would you be honest?”
Beside her, Ilya freezes. Shane waits, holding onto the air of self-possession she's projecting with fraught, shaking hands.
But then, softly, Ilya says, “I would not lie. So do not ask me, Shane.”
Or: Shane brings Ilya to the cottage.

Summary
Ilya picks up on the third ring, breathing heavily into the phone. Shane hears a door slam shut through the device. “Do not yell at me.”
Shane stares at the half-empty bottle of vodka on the coffee table. “You suck.”
“I suck? I scored hat-trick! In your stupid body! I have not eaten in six hours, Hollander. I have not pissed. I have not laid down. I want to go home.”
“Rozanov–”
“Your mother has called twenty times. Your manager has called thirty times. Your father text me picture of crossword puzzle and ask for help. Clue is about American President from the 1980s. I cannot help!”
OR: the hollanov bodyswap fic.

Summary
“Should call you the Ottawa Puppies,” says the Toronto centre, Svensson. As an insult it makes no sense, so Ilya ignores it, until he continues, “Hear Hollander keeps you on a short leash.”
Ilya is the captain, so if anything, he should be holding the leash. In English, you can be singular or plural, but he knows what Svensson is trying to say. He is saying Ilya Rozanov, you are Hollander’s bitch.
“Only sometimes,” Ilya replies, grinning. He wins the face off.
OR: Ilya trains himself to be a very, very good guard dog for Shane.

Summary
Observation. Buck is so anticipatory of Eddie’s needs, so beholden to his wants, that it is no longer a conscious function of his brain. This is a problem, because Eddie has expressed a desire to be denied. And as of right now, to Buck’s brain, that simply does not compute.
Question. Is there hope for Buck to deconstruct his own conditioning enough to return these functions to his more cognizant brain?
Hypothesis. Maybe, if Buck practices denying Eddie the little things he wants, he can take these honed skills and apply them. And maybe then, he'll be able to get Eddie to that place where he really wants to go.
