Summary
He'd made it halfway through writing the first note before it felt suddenly far too pathetic. Was this seriously the legacy he wanted to leave behind? No one would talk about any of his wins if he killed himself now. He would be the failed Russian team captain of the 2014 Olympics who couldn't handle the job and offed himself about it. His father would probably follow him in death just to yell at him for embarrassing the family, and Russia, and everyone who had ever rooted for him.
And when he had been made captain in Boston, he had promised his Bears he would get them a cup. He couldn't just leave without doing that. Didn't want to leave and let people think he was a liar, or that he just gave up when things got hard, lazy, useless, stupid boy.
He tore up the note he'd begun, and began his second plan instead.

Summary
Someone finds Shane Hollander's Spotify account years after the Hollanov reveal.
Everyone is mostly surprised that Shane Hollander even has Spotify.
Then they find the playlist.
@ohmyshilya: what do you mean shane “hockey” hollander has spotify?!
@heyhunnybunnies: oh my god.
@ohmyshilya: HE HAS A PLAYLIST
What follows is an increasingly unhinged internet investigation into a collection of songs that seems to chronicle Shane's life, his years of loving Ilya in secret, and everything he never knew how to say out loud.
Shane would very much like everyone to stop looking at it.
Ilya, unfortunately, has already listened to every song.

Summary
Ilya never became a hockey player. Instead, he followed his other passion: language. When he meets hockey's golden boy, Shane Hollander, who's always at a loss for words, they fall hard almost immediately.
Free from rivalry and driven only by heated yearning, there's only one thing standing between them: cold, cold Russia.Bookmarked by TheRiverWindsAround

Summary
“What’s wrong, J.J.?” Hayden asked, noticing it at the same moment as Shane. J.J. gaped, fish-mouthed and floundering, eyes wide and staring around the locker room as if any of them could explain the story that he still hadn’t shared. He had his phone in his hand, and Shane’s first thought was that maybe something had happened to his parents, or the younger sister he was always so proud of.
“The Centaurs’ plane,” J.J. said, hoarse. He was answering Hayden’s question, but his eyes found Shane’s. He swallowed hard. “It’s gone.”
“What do you mean, gone?” Shane asked, frowning. There was a faint ringing in his ears but it wasn’t yet a siren; he couldn’t understand what J.J. meant, and his ignorance protected him, just for a moment. “Like, somebody stole it?”
Hayden found his phone, scrambling it off of the shelf above his stall. His face went ashen when he unlocked it. “Oh, holy shit…”
“Not stolen,” J.J. said, shaking his head. “It’s gone, Cap. Vanished.”
OR: The Centaurs' plane disappears without explanation. Shane tries to cope.Bookmarked by TheRiverWindsAround

Hey, Are You Guys Still Open? by unlikelychild

Summary
Then like an anomaly in one of his datasets, a green OPEN tag appears next to one of the restaurants. Shane squints his eyes, having difficulty seeing properly without his glasses.
Irina's Kitchen
4.02 stars
3 reviewsShane doesn't bother reading them. He taps on the website and waits for it to load. Only to be met with error.
Sighing he exits the page and keeps on scrolling. Nothing that is open catches his interest and the rest are closed. He's wondering how stale celery would taste dipped in pickle juice when his eyes land on Irina's Kitchen once more.
There's a phone number under the address. Shane bites his lower lip and wonders if he should call.
A woman with an accented voice picks up after the 5th ring.
“Hello?”
“Uh, hey, are you guys still open?”
