    Summary

    There is no version of Shane that would ever have felt safe and comfortable enough to try recreational drugs before Ilya came along. This is perhaps not the pinnacle of romance to most, but for Shane, it’s a sure sign that he’s a total fucking lost cause. 

    Or:

    Shane gets high again, but this time it's on purpose, at the cottage and with Ilya. aka HIGH!SHANE THE SEQUEL!

    Summary

    It wasn’t that Ilya was jealous. It was just that…he sort of was.

    It's finally the off-season, and Ilya cannot wait for a perfectly boring summer at the cottage with his perfectly boring husband.

    Shane, however, has other ideas.

    (AKA Ilya gets jealous of a literal plant.)

    Summary

    Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.

    So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.

    Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

    Summary

    Hollander sighs. “It doesn’t concern you,” he says, and his eyes are pointed at Ilya but his gaze is unfocused, distant. Ilya remembers that last, game-winning shot. He wants Hollander’s attention, wants it more in this moment than he’d wanted the goal.

    Ilya spreads his hands. “Then why are we still here when we could already be having victory sex in another room?” He smiles, deliberate and mean. “Well, victory sex for me, not for you.”

    Normally, this would do the trick. Hollander stares back at Ilya and then says, 

    “Hayden’s sister thinks I have symptoms of autism.”

     

    (Set circa 2014. Shane wrestles with the possibility he might be autistic. Ilya wrestles with how badly he wants Shane.)

    Summary

    Ilya’s dad dies right before the 2017 All-Star Game, so he never learns that Shane and Rose broke up. While he’s in Russia, a threat from his brother makes him ask Svetlana for help and marry her so he can get a US green card—it’s meant to be a discreet, simple thing, but the Boston tabloids get a hold of it and then it’s all over social media. Three months later, Shane Hollander holds a press conference to share two things: he's leaving Montreal to play for the Ottawa Centaurs, and he's gay.
