    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov runs every room he walks into. Rookies re-button their jackets when he says so. Sponsors laugh at his jokes. His teammates would follow him into a burning building.
    Right up until 9:07 p.m., when his husband walks through the door.
    Three times the Ottawa Centaurs found out who really holds the leash: at a charity gala, in a locker room that isn't sure who its captain is anymore, and, in the bonus chapter, on live national television.

    Summary

    After Shane comes out, the Metros become convinced he might be attracted to them.

    Shane corrects this assumption with devastating precision, accidentally describes Ilya Rozanov in the process, and somehow turns the entire locker room into a deranged pageant of heterosexual insecurity.

    Summary

    “We’ve made a trade,” Coach announces. “For Shane Hollander.”

    It’s like the ground drops out from beneath Ilya, and his heart falls from his chest. It tumbles past rock bottom, down to the cavern that shattered open inside of him on that night five years ago. The night when Ilya walked away from Hollander for the last time.

    He can’t breathe.

    (Or: Shane doesn’t get hurt, they break up, and they don’t talk for five long years. Until Shane is traded to Ottawa.)

    Summary

    Hayes frowned. “Did the Voyageurs leadership not see this coming? My sister said pretty much all of her friends have been talking about how Shane got done dirty, for months. Like, did the franchise not think that this city might have opinions about them running their star player, their three-time Cup winning Captain, the player of all time, out of town because he’s gay? Where the town in question is fucking Montreal, the gay capital of the continent of North America?”

    __________________________________________________________

    All eyes are on Montreal and Ottawa now that Shane Hollander is a Centaur. It's going to be a big year for the Cens, assuming they can get past their first game against the Voyageurs... and their second... and their third? Maybe it won't be as simple as playing one game and proving everybody wrong.

    Summary

    “Don’t go,” Ilya manages to choke out, burying his face under Shane’s chin and squeezing his eyes shut. He inhales sharply, pressing his nose deeper into Shane’s throat to breathe in his scent. Right now, it’s Ilya’s body soap, vanilla and spice, masked under salt and skin. He inhales it like it's his own personal supply of air, what he needs to extinguish the burning in his lungs.

    “Ilya,” Shane says, voice urgent, “you’re shaking, I—your breathing’s too fast—” He tries to pull back, needs to see Ilya’s face, needs to see what’s wrong, but Ilya just shakes his head and clings tighter.

    “Please don’t go, Shane,” Ilya whispers, pleading. I’m sorry, please don’t go, don’t go—  

    OR: ilya and shane accidentally recreate the tuna-melt day, and ilya realizes just how much old wounds hurt.
