    Summary

    Shane heard a strangled shout tear free from his mouth, and then his body was moving without his brain’s input. He flew across the ice, ripping his gloves off and reaching for Ilya’s throat. He wrapped his fingers around the warm skin, feeling the flow of blood pulse harder with each beat of Ilya’s heart. His eyes raced across Ilya’s face, desperately looking for a sign that his boyfriend was still with him. Ilya’s eyes were wide and glazed, staring past Shane instead of at him. His face was losing color rapidly, turning a sickly shade of white that mirrored the ice beneath him. His mouth was open, loose and slack, mouthguard still jammed into his upper jaw. Shane watched in terror as Ilya grew limper in his arms.
    ——————————————————
    During a Boston-Montreal game, Ilya's neck is cut by a skate, and Shane is forced to witness the love of his life bleeding out on the ice in front of him. All of the plans they have made seem to be slipping away before his eyes, right when they were so close to finalizing Ilya's transfer to Ottawa. As they race against the clock to save Ilya's life, Shane reckons with the secrets they have been forced to keep and fears that they might never get to live their truth out in the open.

    Summary

    “Olesya.”
    “Oh-lee-syah,” Shane repeated slowly, making sure he pronounced it right. “What… what are you going to do?”
    “I don’t know,” Ilya said, resting his head in his hand. “I don’t fucking know.”
    Shane’s voice was steady. “What can I do?”
    How long had it been since someone offered to help Ilya? He took care of his family, carried his brother’s financial burdens, tended his own injuries, paid his way through life without aid. The question, softly spoken and rich with genuine intent, was enough to bring tears to his eyes. Could he really trust it? Could he ask someone for help?
    For once, he wanted to try.

    OR: Ilya is left with sudden custody of Alexei's daughter and calls Shane to help.

    (Set just before the cottage.)

    Summary

    “Shane says you are smart. You went to university before you were drafted, yes?” Rozanov’s eyes were twinkling again. He wasn’t Shane’s boyfriend right now, he was the Russian Menace.

    “Yeah, I mean, I did two years. You didn’t go to college, did you?”

    “No, so I have to do my own readings, my own studies. You must have done philosophy courses?”

    Was Rozanov mining for chirping material? What the fuck? “I, no I took like…a writing seminar. And um, a civics course. Plus, like, math.”

    Rozanov blinks at him, again. “Math.”

    “Yeah, math.”

    “So you are a mathematician? You study calculus? Linear algebra? Discrete mathematics?”

    What in the fuck is discrete mathematics? “I dunno, no. It was like, y equals mxb squared, or whatever. You know, algebra.”

    “Algebra.” Rozanov’s eyebrows shot up his face. “Like for a child? American university gives you primary school lessons?”

    OR

    Hayden Pike confronts Rozanov about his relationship with Shane. It doesn't quite go as he expected.

    Summary

    “Holy shit, Ilya! Can you belie-”

    “I’m coming to the cottage.”

    Shane’s heart stops beating. Everything goes blank. “Shane?”

    Shane realizes he hasn’t said anything for an awkwardly long period of time. He clears his throat and tries to remember any words in any language. “When?”

    “When do you want me?” Ilya’s voice is soft and rumbly, hesitant in a way that Shane isn’t used to hearing from the usually confident alpha. Shane can’t believe his ears.

    Always, his traitorous mind supplies. I want you always. “Next week?” he says instead. He’d planned to have his heat in July, but with a ticking doomsday clock looming over Shane, he’s not sure he can wait that long. Even if it means telling Ilya the truth. Even if it means Ilya leaves him for good. All he knows is he needs to see Ilya as soon as possible, hold him in his arms and fill his lungs with his scent.

    Ilya releases a breath. “Okay. Next week.”

     

    aka Shane is accidentally pregnant and decides to get an abortion while he and Ilya are at the cottage, but first he needs to *tell* Ilya.
