Summary
For a second, nothing happens. Just blinking, slow and disoriented. But still alive and still here.
Shane feels something crack open in his chest so violently it almost takes him down with it.
Ilya turns his head slightly. His eyes land on Shane and Shane knows, this is it. This is the moment, where it either comes back or it doesn't.
"I know you," Ilya says.
The relief hits Shane like a wrecking ball. Shane actually laughs, a broken, breathless sound as he drags a hand over his face.
"Yeah," he says quickly. "Yeah, you do."

What does it mean to choose a life you don't remember?

Summary
You haven’t gone home with anyone else in ages, Ilya's brain treacherously supplied, you’d wait for him for months. At that thought, the slight itch in his throat quickly cascaded into a coughing fit, and this time he didn’t bother to cover it up. Little flurries of leaves spluttered onto the floor in front of him.
It’s reminiscent of that stupid documentary of Shane’s cottage, that one scene when they panned out to the lakefront and stayed there for a few seconds as the leaves fluttered across the camera. He hated that he could remember the whole thing by heart.
He heaved out a last cough to dislodge the last bit of mass clinging onto his mouth, but instead of the spikeness he was expecting, this was round. He opened his eyes, and a tiny flower bulb stared back. Great.
Or: Ilya gets Hanahaki.

Summary
“What do you want, Rozanov?”
Once upon a time, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov had been something of fated rivals. And then. Rozanov's national team crashed and burned in the 2014 Olympics in his own country. Shortly thereafter, he requested a trade to a Canadian team without much explanation, and by the end of the season, he was playing for Ottawa. Years of buildup and progress thrown away. The rivalry lost its luster after that, with Rozanov hardly a competition.
Now, Rozanov was looking at Shane as if they shared a private joke. “I have, ah, Marly, what's the word? Proposition? Proposal?”
“Business offer,” groaned Marlow, drawing his eyebrows together.
“That,” Rozanov smirked. “Let's sit down, Hollander. Hear me out.”
--
Or: Shane and Ilya never started hooking up. Several years into their career, some things are very different. At an All-Star game, the only out and proud player in the MLH approaches Shane with the suggestion to start a charity together. It's the beginning of something life changing.

“The Foundation’s Instagram post should already be up,” Shane continues, pulling his phone from his pocket. “And I can share - “
Several things happen quickly before Shane can finish the thought.
“David,” Yuna says sharply, her voice echoing in the empty hallway, and Shane jerks his eyes to her before looking where she’s looking, to where Ilya has staggered against David, who shoulders his weight without flinching. Like he expected it.
*
Shane and Ilya hold a press conference to announce The Irina Foundation. Ilya is fine, until he's not.

Summary
What if everything in the MLH Awards rooftop scene had.gone completely differently?
"I feel like I'm home. I don't know what that means. I have never felt at home anywhere in a long time. But right now. With you inside me. Your hands on me. I am home."
A canon divergence from Heated Rivalry Episode 1 "Rookies." The MLH awards rooftop scene, rewritten - what Shane and Ilya truly feel about each other, and about the award, when nobody walks away. A character study on how Ilya's scars impact him, on how deeply and freely Shane loves him, and the start of something beautiful. Two boys. One trophy. Zero words big enough for what they feel for each other.

Summary
“Come on,” Comeau says. “Are we all just supposed to pretend it's normal that you’re still playing house with Ilya Rozanov?”
“Gil—” J.J. says, but Shane doesn’t want him to finish that sentence, to pull Comeau gently off the ledge he’s steering himself toward. Shane wants to push him, kicking and screaming, to make them say it to his fucking face. That after all this time, they still hate him for the heinous crime of falling in love.
“We’ve been married for two years,” Shane says. “I’m not sure that qualifies as playing house. I mean, it’s longer than you were with your first wife, isn’t it?”
Or: Shane reunites with his former teammates at J.J.'s bachelor party. He's finally ready to say (and maybe punch) his piece.

For one, singular, blissful moment, nothing is wrong when Ilya wakes up.
And then the bubble pops.

Summary
“You liked that didn’t you?” Shane said with a smug little expression on his face.
Really too many people called Ilya an asshole when Shane was just as bad, or worse. Shane just hid it better, because Canada’s perfect golden boy could do no wrong.
Ilya moved to cross his arms over his chest and lean back against the headboard, hating how it put even more space between them, but not being able to let Shane think he was right.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Sure you don't, baby.”
Ilya was definitely not starting to turn the slightest shade of red.

Summary
Galina stopped writing to look at Ilya. "Do you think he'd be willing to talk to you next time it happens, even if it's late?"
Ilya's stomach turned over. He didn't even want to consider it, but he knew the answer. "Yes. But he silences his phone at night."
"Most phones these days have an option to let certain numbers ring through, even on Do Not Disturb. Do you think he'd be open to setting that up for you?"
Imagining that conversation made Ilya nauseous. Yes, no fucking doubt, Shane would be open to it if Ilya explained the reason. "I'm not going to ask him to do that."
Set during The Long Game, an alternate version where the plane scene doesn't happen. Instead, there's this: a car crash, a therapist's duty to report, and an urgent reckoning with priorities.
