    Summary

    “So,” Ilya says, dragging the word out. He’s swiping at non-existent crumbs on the counter, avoiding his eyes. “You have dinner at parents on Christmas, yes?” 

    “Yeah.” 

    Ilya nods. “I can house-sit while you are away. Make place pretty, if you have decorations. Make it less boring.” 

    Shane’s eyebrows fly up. “What? You don’t want to come with?” 

    Finally, Ilya looks up at him. Hesitantly, he asks, “You want me to come with?” 

    Frowning, Shane says, “I– yeah. Yeah, of course. You think I invited you here just so you could spend Christmas alone?” 

    Looking away, Ilya shrugs. “I am intruder here, Hollander. You have family. I do not. Makes situation… difficult, maybe. You forget the world thinks we are rivals.” 

    “Not difficult,” Shane says immediately. “You want to come, you’re coming.” 

    Or: Ilya's in Montreal alone during the week leading up to the Winter Classic. Shane doesn't let him spend Christmas alone.

    Summary

    It doesn’t matter what Shane looks like because he’s got a jersey and pads and a helmet on. It doesn’t matter what languages he speaks because he’s got a mouthguard clamped between his teeth and too many plays to chew on to even think about talking. It doesn’t matter who his parents are or where people think he should be from because he’s here to play hockey and he’s here to win.

    Shane Hollander is very good at hockey.

    He’s even better at winning.

    --

    Everything is harder when you don't know where you fit in. Shane Hollander can attest to that.

    Summary

    Morals Clause: A contract provision that may be used in endorsement, spokesperson, and similar agreements to give the advertiser the right to terminate the deal, seek damages, or remove branding if the individual engages in actions bringing disrepute, scandal, or negative attention, protecting the brand's image and financial interests.

    Yuna does her research—apparently, a morals clause is common, in contracts like this.

    It bothers her, a little, how vague it is, but ultimately, she doesn’t see an issue with it—at least, not really.

    Shane is many things, and she is so, so excited to see how much more he becomes… but, for all of the many things she imagines in his future, she doesn't think he's capable of doing anything that could be accurately described as scandalous.

    She's wrong.

    Summary

    “What is this ‘ball and chain’?” Ilya frowned.

    Ilya's teammate grinned. “Wife. Girlfriend. Nagging you. Controlling. No fun allowed.”
