    Summary

    Shane knows the plan to wait to come out until they retire isn't ideal, but he doesn't have a better one. He thinks that he and Ilya can make it work, until his mom points out how long they will have to live their lives in the shadows.

    But once he realizes that, he immediately knows that he can't come out. It would ruin his legacy.

    He's pretty sure that's why he doesn't want to come out. No other reason. Right?

    He is sure that's all it is until Ilya asks him if he would be safe if he came out. And he can't answer.

    -------

    or Yuna does the math on the retirement plan and when she points this out it opens Shane's eyes.

    -------

    also known as this author had (1) idea for a scene and had to reverse engineer a multi-chapter fic to make it happen.

    Summary

    Shane introduces himself to Ilya, and immediately they strike up a friendship. A friendship, which is too important for either of them to ruin...

    -OR-

    This is a (love) story about pressure, proximity, and the terror of being truly seen. Two men come to recognise themselves through another’s gaze.

    They are forced to confront who they are once expectation loosens its grip, and whether desire can exist as something steady, rather than a threat to manage or a loss to fear.

    Summary

    Ilya feels settled. He has a family and a house and a dog. He’s long since retired from hockey and enjoys the life he has built for himself with his husband.

    So when a giant portal opens up in his back garden, he doesn’t know what to think. It sits there, warm and glowing. It waits for him. Curiosity gets the better of Ilya, and he steps through. What is life without a little adventure?

    Or: the time travel AU where Ilya goes back to meet his younger self on the day of his father’s funeral but before the phone call with Shane.
