    Summary

    “Daddy, who is Lily?”
    “I don’t know sweetie. Do you mean your friend from school?”
    “No Daddy, I thought it was her, but when I texted her, I got a really weird reply.”
    Shane knew giving a phone to an eight year old might not have been his best parental move, but all the kids in her class had one, he’d felt guilty. Besides, it was only his old phone. It couldn’t do much more than text.
    Wait… It was Shane’s old phone. And Judith was texting someone named Lily.
    “Oh no.”

    -

    Summary

    Shane Hollander had once loved someone.

    Three years later, everything had changed.Since then, he had avoided the ice, the memories, and anything that might have felt like hope.

    Then Ilya Rozanov showed up and ruined the plan.

    “Just skate with me once,” Ilya said. “Come on, Hollander.”

    Shane should have said no.
    But he didn’t.

    Falling in love again wasn’t part of the plan.
    Neither was surviving it.

    Summary

    Shane swallowed heavily. “We should talk, I-”

    “Go. Leave, Hollander. You did it before. So go.”

    “Rozanov…”

    “You got what you wanted. Now you can go.”

    Ilya didn’t even look at him as he delivered his final words, his voice cold and devoid of any emotion. Shane waited for a few silent seconds before he gave up, realising Ilya wasn’t going to change his mind. He pulled open the door, hovering in the doorway, waiting for words that never came. His feet refused to move, his heart half hoping Ilya would call his name. But there was only silence. And now that the silence was turned on him, he had no right to hate how much it hurt.

    This was exactly what he’d done months ago - turned away, shut down, left Ilya sitting there alone, confused... hurt. Back then, Shane had told himself it was easier this way. Cleaner.

    Now he knew what it felt like to be the one left behind.

    *****

    Shane walked away from Ilya after the tuna melt incident.

    But what if Shane never turned up at the All Stars Game in Tampa?

    What if that moment had never existed?

    Would it have been easier if they’d never become anything at all?

    Summary

    “You’re cute when you worry,” he meets Shane’s eye, smiling both because it’s true, and because he’s trying to convince Shane that he’s okay. “Mr Caretaker. Mr Nurse.”

    “That’s Mr Doctor to you,” Shane chirps back.

    “Oh so you have medical degree now?”

    “I don’t need a medical degree to see how sick you are, Ilya. You were seriously going to play like this?”

    “Who do you think I am? Of course not. I said if I felt better, I could have played. And I did not feel better. "

    Summary

    Two years into their run as teammates, the "First Couple of Hockey" has reached an internal collapse. Shane Hollander is spiraling into a dangerous obsession with bodily control, while Ilya Rozanov has succumbed to a deep, depressive episode. When their mutual resentment finally erupts into an on-ice altercation during practice, they are forced into a two-week suspension. Trapped together in the suffocating silence of their home, they must confront the physical and emotional wreckage of their marriage before they both completely fade away.

    This story explores a much darker timeline for Shane and Ilya during their second year together in Ottawa. Please take the content warnings seriously, as this fic deals heavily with the physical and psychological toll of their high-profile relationship, including disordered eating, unmedicated depression, and a breakdown of their domestic safety. If you feel like any of these things might trigger you, please prioritize your peace and step away from this story. Your wellbeing is far more important than any narrative.

    Tags will be updated as the story progresses.
