Summary
“...oh,” his mom says. “Oh, honey, you were seeing someone? You never said anything.”
“It’s-it’s complicated.” He catches the present tense too fucking late to do anything about it, and he barely resists the urge to either groan or slip forward to start beating his head against the coffee table.
Fuck his fucking life.
“You’re still…seeing this person?” His mom asks, and the amount of control he can hear her exerting is almost painful. “Who is-”
“Yuna,” his dad cuts in, voice quiet, “maybe give him a second, yeah?”
Yeah, Shane agrees in his head. Give him a second.
Maybe give him a decade while they’re at it.
(when shane's old fake id falls out of his wallet around his parents, he has to explain that it was to book hotel rooms before he was 21)
(...and then he has to explain why he needed to book those hotel rooms in the first place)

Summary
The Boston Bears group chat had sixty-three new messages in the span of three minutes.
His coffee forgotten, Ilya swiped open the chat, scrolling quickly to find the source of the commotion. A link to The Athletic, posted by Jensen, their captain, followed by a string of exclamation points. Ilya tapped it, the headline materializing on his screen like a blow to the chest:
BREAKING: MONTREAL VOYAGEURS’ SECOND DRAFT SHANE HOLLANDER ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
Ilya's pulse jumped, hard and sudden in his throat. The mug slipped from his hand, not falling but landing too heavily on the counter, coffee slopping over the rim. He set it down properly, his movements mechanical, and forced himself to read the rest of the headline:
20-YEAR-OLD ROOKIE OF THE YEAR STEPPING AWAY TO PURSUE HARVARD BUSINESS DEGREE
Or
Shane Hollander has spent his entire life living and breathing hockey. At twenty, at the height of his career, he makes an unthinkable choice: he walks away to discover who he is beyond the ice.
But some things don’t stay behind.
What happens when the rivalry between him and Rozanov ends, but the pull doesn’t?

Summary
After his loss Sochi, Ilya visits Moscow to see the only two things worth coming home for: his niece and his mama's grave. Unfortunately, a heated exchange with Alexei causes him to flee the country in the middle of the night without letting anyone know.
As he spends 30-something miserable hours trying to get to Boston with a dead phone and nothing to entertain him, the hockey world's thrown into disarray when an article about his affair with Sasha is published. Ilya seems to have disappeared overnight. While the hockey world grapples with the clash of homophobia and the very real consequences of getting outed, Shane Hollander, freshly returned from Sochi, makes a desperate trip to Boston to get to his rival. He knows it's be futile; he just needs to do something.
Or:
Ilya gets outed at the end of the Olympics.Good news: He's already on his way to Boston, heartsick and angry after a fight with Alexei.
Bad news: He didn't tell anyone, his phone's dead, and now everyone thinks he was kidnapped and sent to the gulag. Thankfully for Ilya, Shane Hollander's definitely NOT panicking over his rival--turned-lover--turned-nothing vanishing from the face of the earth.

Summary
Shane is traded to Boston during the hookup era, and his attempts to act normal and professional around Rozanov are a little too successful: fans start shipping him with Marleau, instead.
