    Summary

    Ilya starts calling Shane boring regularly after that, not cruelly but persistently, the way you press a bruise you know is there just to confirm it still hurts. Shane's cereal is boring, Shane's training schedule is boring, Shane's shoes lined up by the door are boring, and Shane responds with variations of "fuck off" and "you're an asshole" that become increasingly creative and occasionally surprising. They do not talk about anything that matters. They talk about groceries and whose turn it is to take out the trash and whether Ilya's music is too loud at midnight, which it is.

    On the ice, Shane is someone else entirely. Ilya watches him from the upper stands every morning with vending machine coffee going cold in his hand and doesn't tell anyone.

    Or: Shane asked Ilya once how you know when it's the right person. Ilya described Shane to him, and Shane didn't recognise himself.

    Summary

    This is a series of ficlets that take place in Boston during Ilya's last season for the Raiders/Bears (and as he's getting ready to leave for Ottawa).
    It's as much a love letter to Boston as it is to Shane and Ilya (and Rachel and Jacob) - as the author lived in Boston for a while and misses the city terribly. In it, you will find fluff and comfort, the occasional mention of Dunkin, and way too specific Boston geography (and maybe some of spice later on).

    Some of my favorite things on earth seem to be romantic stories about queer hockey players, and the city of Boston, MA!
    Let's bring in more things I love!
