    Summary

    “Don’t you ever want more with… your soulmate?” With me. Don’t you ever want more with me?

    Shane waited patiently for Rozanov’s answer, his heart pounding away in his chest as he stared at the other man.

    “No,” Rozanov said decisively. Shane felt his heart shatter as the other man flicked his cigarette dismissively. “I do not have a soulmate.”

    Oh. Shane sat in stunned silence for a few moments, his glass of vodka frozen in midair, halfway to his lips.

    *

    Ilya has lived his life knowing he would never find a soulmate, and Shane has lived his life waiting for his soulmate to acknowledge him.

    Summary

    No matter how much he loved his husband, Shane had always wanted to be a star hockey player first and foremost, not a 'gay hockey player' defined first by his sexuality.

    He had also made peace with what their marriage meant, and the challenges they faced in hockey because of it; he had found happiness in the bubble they had in Ottawa with the Centaurs.

    That safe bubble burst one day with an unexpected call from Hockey Canada, and by the time it was all said and done, there was going to be a picture of Shane beside ‘gay icon’ in the urban dictionary.

    Summary

    “Hollander - we are too old to be playing pryatky” he tried again, dropping his bags by the hallway and turning the corner from the hall. “If your shoulder is okay, I have not had you in two weeks, and I -”

    Ilya stopped cold halfway into the kitchen.

    Across the marbled counter, a glass of ice water sat, half drunk and gathering condensation.

    Next to it, a bright orange pill bottle, the cap popped off.

    And on the black tiled floor, partially hidden behind the island, Shane lay crumpled and motionless.

    *****
    or, Shane is injured during a Bears/Metro game, again. Rotten luck, but at least Ilya is around this time to take care of him. Until he finds Shane on the kitchen floor.

    Summary

    Ilya was upset. They were going to fight. They were going to yell. And it was Shane's fault.

    Because Scott Hunter did, in fact, have young, single bachelor, Shane Hollander.

    And Shane had lied about it.

    Summary

    What was he supposed to say? 'Yes, Hollander. I have a soulmate. All I know is that he has played hockey in Canada before. Oh, that could apply to the entire league? Oh, that could apply to you? Oh, you are now having a panic attack in my bed?'

    Yes. That would not have gone well.

    (or: soulmate au where any mark that shows up on your body shows up on theirs. ilya finds out that shane is his soulmate, long before shane does. they are idiots in love.)
