Summary
"Weren't there any nice men in Montreal?" his dad asks, and Shane stops smiling, stops breathing.
"Yeah," he says. "There were." He wants to ask if there were any nice women at McGill, or any nice babies at the hospital. Ilya's hand is on Shane's thigh, thumb riding just on the edge of acceptable positioning for lunch with his parents. He squeezes. "But none of them were Ilya."
Shane meets a nice man in Montreal. It changes less than you'd think.

Summary
He blinks, imagining a world where there's an Oscar nominated film with actual, porn-level sex on screen. There is something interesting there. Something intriguing. "Yeah, definitely. But like, I mean there's probably a reason that the non-sex parts of porn are so bad, right? Like, it's a different skill set. It's hard enough to focus on character and expression during a sex scene when you're not also thinking about whether you're performing, and what your dick looks like, and if your dick's doing what the character's dick would."
Hudson shrugs, "Yeah." He looks like he's thinking for a minute, "Yeah. You can't divorce it, can't make choices. Physiologically. It's just always going to be the person, not the character."
Connor and Hudson talk about doing porn. Kind of.

Summary
The pitch is—bad.
It's stupid and annoying and the worst thing is that she can see why it might be compelling. MLH has been playing up Shane and Rozanov's rivalry for eight years because they're increasingly exceptional players, and it's still a marketable rivalry.
Which irritates her because the rivalry isn't doing anything for Shane's brand at this point, and she's been working for years with Shane's publicist to try to shift the narrative. This year's All-Star Game had seemed like the exact thing to start shifting the needle, but every time she brings Rozanov up to Shane, he deflects in a way that makes it clear that he really does genuinely dislike the man. Which is a shame, because maybe if Hannah had been able to seed some pieces about their rivalry turning into something more like mutual respect, this goddamned porn movie about her son wouldn't be on her desk.
Yuna deals with a PR nightmare.

Summary
He turns off his alerts for news about Henry, doesn't pick up the gossip rags June brings into his room on Saturday mornings.
"You know we can talk about it," June says at dinner, Alex's oily fingers leaving translucent ovals on the pages of his textbook.
"Talk about what?" he asks.
"Dad."
"What's there to talk about?" he asks, grabbing another slice from the box in between them. "We both knew it was coming. They were holding it together to help mom get re-elected and now they aren't anymore. It's whatever."
Some things are inevitable, even if they happen at different times.

An emotional landmine. My body has been ripped asunder, I will never be okay again.
(Shane is sick, Ilya can't stop himself from going to see him anyway)

Cliff can't untangle his feelings about Ilya. Because of heteronormativity and also legit friendship. Beautiful, beautiful fic.

Summary
Someone’s posted a shaky video from the stands, just behind the whole altercation. It’s close enough to catch the snarl on Rozanov’s face as he charges up the steps. He’s so pretty, Shane thinks faintly. The video starts too late to show what set him off, but it catches the tail end of what the man is yelling, the things he's saying about Shane, before pivoting to calling Rozanov a cunt and bitch and a pussy instead.
Rozanov drops his gloves for Shane. He wishes he could just be grateful, but it feels a little bit like the end of the world.

Summary
Shane’s steps for hockey success are clean cut, precise, and scientific, easy to give in a tidy, pre-packaged answer: a tried and true fitness plan, a macrobiotic diet and meal prep, yoga for relaxation, and a disciplined bedtime routine—yes, even on the weekends and the off-season.
And also celibacy. But that one he usually leaves out during interviews.
