    Summary

    “Shane.” Ilya takes Shane’s head in his hands, squeezes his cheeks so that Shane looks puffy, absurd. Beloved. “I am saying that to me, even though you are retired, you will always be No. 1 hockey player. Fuck Wayne Gretzky.”

    That’s what does it, as Ilya knew it would. Shane rears back, spluttering, outraged, trying not to laugh.

    “Oh, I have committed blasphemy now. They will take back my citizenship, big crime, very sad.”

    Shane smoothes his hands along Ilya’s calves, rests his fingertips on Ilya’s ankles. “Fuck Wayne Gretzky,” he says. He looks like he can’t believe what he’s saying. Ilya wonders, distantly, if he can get it on tape to play back to himself when things feel particularly bleak. “We can live in exile together. I don’t care. You’re my, my best, my second best hockey player forever too.”

    --

    Shane decides he has to retire. Ilya, of course, will go with him.

    Summary

    Shane inhales the fresh, bitter air, takes in the silence in the cemetery and the ominous sound of the bells signaling the half hour. “I would have loved her too.”

    --

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has never really known Shane Hollander. Aside from chirping him on the ice and needling him during interviews, Ilya has never managed to actually catch his attention.
    Why would he?
    Shane Hollander is the perfect example of a perfect player with a perfect family.
    He lacks nothing, right?

    Shane Hollander really has a perfect family. A beautiful little daughter, loving parents, and… an ex-wife who turned out to be a lesbian. But that’s fine.
    He lacks nothing.

    Or
    A little menace, series of unfortunate events and gay awakening.
    All in one day.

    Summary

    Ilya wanted so badly to just tell Svetlana: It’s Shane Hollander, it’s always been Shane Hollander. He wanted to invite her over after the game so he'd know it was possible for her and Shane to exist in the same room without the world collapsing.

    He was calling Shane back before he even thought about it, his heart in his throat. 

    “Ilya?”

    “Can I invite Svetlana?"

    He could never have expected what happened next.

    Or: Only a few months after the cottage, Shane meets Svetlana—and goes to great lengths to defeat his jealousy.

    Summary

    Ilya had no idea what he was going to do when Shane decided to end things. Because he knew it would be Shane who broke it off. If he had his way, Ilya would keep it up forever. No one else would do it for him. Not like Shane. He was a coke habit Ilya couldn’t kick no matter what he used in place of it. Ilya wasn’t sure what made him realize it, whether it was the way Shane moved on him just right, their voices growing louder as they got closer to finishing, or the constant dread gathered at the bottom of Ilya’s stomach at the reminder that the whole thing was supposed to be temporary.

    It was so much. Too much, maybe.

    But Ilya didn’t give a shit.

    or: Ilya caught feelings and knows he needs to break things off with Shane, but he can't bring himself to do it.
