    Summary

    All told he got into a couple scraps a year, but nothing to write home about – he didn’t instigate, he didn’t go too far. He kept his head level and focused on what it needed to be focused on: winning the game. Sure, one time he almost punched Scott Hunter’s lights out after a game, but whatever – he was emotionally compromised then, sue him. Mostly everyone assumed that was a weird blip and let it go, and he and Scott maintained enough professional friendliness at league events that everyone figured it wasn’t personal, which it wasn’t.

    All of that to say that the more and more the media went on about Hockey’s Golden Boy, the more people forgot that Shane was, at the end of the day, just like any other professional hockey player. He knew how to throw a fucking punch. He just chose not to, most times, for strategic reasons.

    It became apparent that people had forgotten this very key fact almost immediately after he joined the Centaurs.

    Summary

    Remember when Hayden Pike punches Ilya after Shane said not to, right before the announcement of the Irina Foundation? Remember that that was the second time Hayden laid his hands on Ilya in the first month of knowing him?

    Or, Shane gets rightfully fed up after the first month of Hayden's behavior towards Ilya. Punching Ilya was the final straw, so he tells Hayden to pretend he never found out. It sets off a chain of events landing him, happily, in Ottawa a year earlier and with a better support system for both him and Ilya.

    Summary

    J.J. didn't hate Ilya Rozanov. No, he was just a major pain in the ass with a mouth on him only a mother could love. At least that's what he thought until a well-timed dinner where all the little scraps and puzzle pieces came together to form the thought: Holy shit, Shane is seeing Rozanov. Now J.J. has to figure out what the hell he's going to do, because his Capitaine has barely been out to the team a month and this secret is already making J.J. lose his mind, and it's only been three minutes.

    (Or: A canon-divergent AU where instead of Hayden connecting the dots in 2018, it's J.J.)
