Summary
He thought that he would have to run out of people soon. Surely, there had to be a finite number of queer men in the area, and he’d run out of options eventually. Then, he could really delete the app, and accept his life as a perpetual bachelor and probable hermit.
He should have known. In retrospect, he should have fucking known it was only a matter of time.
Shane was swiping mindlessly, leaning against his kitchen island, killing time before he left for work, when a new profile popped up across his feed. He recognized him instantly from that stupid mirror selfie, one that he had sent Shane right after he had taken it in some shitty coffee shop bathroom downtown.
He’d know him anywhere.
Or, Shane keeps seeing his ex on dating apps, and it's driving him insane.

Summary
Shane is heavier than he used to be; his weight bears down on Ilya in a new way. He’s put on pounds of muscle since Ilya last touched him like this. Ilya flattens his palms, skims them under Shane’s undershirt, feels the flat solidity of his abs, the bulk of his lats, the swell of his chest. It’s the same and it’s new, this body; it’s the boy he couldn’t stop thinking about when he was 18 and the man he loved enough to let go at 26 and the person who somehow always comes to find him when he’s lost.
A stranger, and the love of his life.
—
or, Ilya's father doesn't die in 2017; Ilya breaks up with Shane instead of confessing his love. They get older, but not any less stupid about each other. Shane gets a boyfriend; Ilya gets on medication; they work on becoming whole people. And they always find their way back to each other.
OR a story for those who love Shane and Ilya's baby love but ALSO think it's hot when people in their thirties make active choices about who they are and what they want in their partner!!
Note: the "cheating" tag refers to the relationship between Shane and his aforementioned BF, not to Shane and Ilya cheating on each other.

Summary
"Ilya knows, logistically, that fucking his roomate is a terrible idea. Right up there with poking a bear, or calling his brother just to say hello, or sticking a fork in an electrical socket.
The first time was an accident.
The second and third (and fourth) times were all, also, most definitely accidents."

Summary
Ilya ignored the request from the NHL twice. The first time they asked through his agent, the second time the director of marketing called his personal number directly. He never got along with the league as a player, and he certainly didn't need to make them happy now.
The next attempt to reach him was harder to ignore. A phone call from an unknown number. A voicemail that made his blood run cold.
"Hi Ilya. This is Rose Landry. We've never met, but Shane speaks so highly of you. I think the NHL has been trying to get in touch. Shane said you probably wouldn't talk to them. But...think about it, ok? I know it would mean a lot to him."
The final request crumbled his resolve. The caller ID blinked "Jane," and Ilya stared at it.
***
Canon divergence, Shane and Ilya are estranged for a decade. Shane finally reaches out to Ilya when he retires.- Language:
