    Summary

    This was a bad play on the ice that was going to hurt someone, and he just didn't know how to stop when he wanted, no, needed this to work. He needed Rose to work. Shane didn't understand why it wasn't working. He was bending low to reply to her when his eye caught on the tall unmistakable frame of Cliff Marleau dancing with a brunette near the bar. Marleau. Ilya's linemate, his friend, nearly as joined at the hip with him as Shane and Hayden. If Cliff Marleau was here it followed that—

    • Book: After a moment of brief, terrifying eye contact, Shane flees the club. Jealous, horrified, embarrassed, he ends up having to pull over on the side of the road to cry his eyes out. So sad.
    • Show: After a way longer more devastating moment of eye contact while Ilya sucks a blonde's ear lobe, a visibly uncomfortable Shane ends up in bed with Rose while a split screen suggests that he is thinking about Ilya jorking it in the shower. Or Ilya could be jorking it thinking about Shane having sex with Rose. Really, why choose?
    • This fic: Imma make it worse. Forget Rose's gentle "Was it better?" hand-holding. We're not leaving this club without some answers.

    Summary

    Centaurs Writing Room Week# 3 Prompt: Domestic Fluff

    Marleau didn’t mind. If Boston wanted to pay him seven figures to babysit a hockey prodigy, he'd be happy to sign on the dotted line. He grew up in Nova Scotia, an eldest son too good at hockey to end up working the lobster season. The rougher texture of his upbringing meant that he could hold his own against Rozanov’s somewhat abrasive personality—understood the way that "fucking asshole" could be said with great affection. Marleau at least respected that the rookie had the talent to back up his attitude and could take as good as he gave as far as chirping went.

    Or five times when Cliff Marleau felt like Ilya Rozanov's big brother and one time that he needed to say it out loud. (Updated 6/6/2026)

    Summary

    Clearly, this had just been a misunderstanding. It was not his business what nineteen year old rookies got up to in their free time. He had looked after Hollander through whatever this was, and could send him on his way with a clear conscience. A Good Samaritan. Patron Saint of Horny Teenagers.

    Summary

    “I want to come out to my team before the season starts,” Shane said into the dark one night.

    “Why?” Ilya mumbled into the back of Shane’s neck.

    “Because—I can’t tell them about you,” Shane said, “I mean, not yet. It will help if they knew I was gay, I think.”

    “This is what you want?”

    “I want to do something,” Shane said quietly, “You left Boston.”

    “Ah, so this is competition,” Ilya said, not a question.


    He promised Ilya that they could "change the narrative" together. Ilya was keeping up his end of the plan: leaving Boston for Ottawa. And now it was Shane's turn. He was going to come out to his teammates in Montreal.
