Summary
“Never have I ever…” Bood was smiling so hard, it was almost hard to understand him as he fought to get the words out. He took a deep breath, attempting to regain his composure, and tried again. “Never have I ever gone down the Boston cop slide and, somehow, come out of the other end without any pants on.”
If anyone asked, Ilya was blaming the fire for how his cheeks heated as everyone’s eyes flew to him.
“I am going to kill Cliff Marlow,” he muttered darkly, taking a reluctant swig of vodka.
-- Or: The Ottawa Centaurs play Never Have I Ever. It devolves into the Centaurs making fun of Ilya for all of the Boston shenanigans he got into before (and after) Shane made an honest man out of him

Summary
“Maybe you don't have to-”
“Uh-uh. No backtracking now.” Hayden pointed a finger at him. “If you tell Shane, fantastic. Would love that, quite frankly, but until you do, I want those goddamn pictures, Rozanov. Am I clear?” Ilya wanted to make some quip about Pike trying to get a different kind of picture out of him, but given the circumstances... He just nodded. “Good. My kids tragically love the fuck out of you, so figure this out.” Ilya nodded again. “Alright then.”
Silence followed. Ilya eventually got up, and Hayden awkwardly walked him to the door.
“Ilya,” he said, surprising him with the first name. “I know what I say doesn’t particularly matter, and I am mainly just a fail-safe for this situation, but…” He opened the front door and clicked his tongue. “For what it’s worth, you’re a good guy and don’t deserve the shit your brain apparently puts you through.”
"I'm a married man, Pike."
Or
Ilya’s depression shifts into some self-harming tendencies, despite how well he can justify most of it. An unexpected cavalry comes together.
(AKA I found a story filled with sex and decided to hone in on my other favorite things: mental health and complex family dynamics)

Summary
They were only forty-five minutes late to the barbecue, all told, and yet Ilya was right. Bood called out, “Nice of you to show up, Cap!” from behind the grill. Ilya squeezed Shane’s forearm hard, once, and then headed over to talk to the host. Shane could’ve followed him, he knew, but he didn’t want to stand there awkwardly, feeling like he should say something but not sure when to cut in. On the Metros, everyone had known Shane was a little quiet in groups, knew the kinds of conversations he was comfortable having, when to ask his opinion. The Centaurs wanted something different from him, or maybe Shane wanted to be something different to them. Either way, he stood by the backyard gate while Ilya headed toward Bood, until Hayes called out from the fire, “Get over here, Hollander!”
(in other words: shane figures out how to be a teammate and someone's husband all at the same time. ilya lives several of the best days of his life all in a row. & everyone else has a great time as well)

Summary
Ilya gets like this sometimes.
He doesn’t know what causes it, but he knows it is something genetic that he cannot control. He thought therapy would fix it like magic, and then he eventually went on the pills he thought would actually fix it, and now he is left wondering if anything is going to fix this big thing that is wrong with him.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Ilya has a bad day. Shane tries to cheer him up.
