    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

    Ilya loved the closing shift.

    Until this fucking guy started coming in a 7:55 pm. Almost every single fucking day.

    The first time it happened, Ilya was annoyed. He had just cleaned the espresso machine, and now he would have to redo it. 8:30! Ilya got out thirty fucking minutes late because of one guy!

    But, it was fine. It was fine. Getting out late one time wasn’t that big of a deal.

    Until it happened again. And again. And again. Until-

    “Why the hell do you come in here so late?”

    or

    Ilya is a barista at a small local coffee shop. Shane is a doctor that annoys the fuck out of him. The annoyance turns into fondness; the fondness turns into lust. They fuck in the shop.

    Summary

    Ilya knew that he had just been conjuring up worries due to his own insecurities, and knew better than to take those out on Shane. At least he should.

    Then why had he not been able to get over it? Whenever he spent time with Shane everything was as beautiful and loving as it had been. He felt calm, collected, like it had just been one big misunderstanding. But then, the second he left, those suspicions crept back in.

    Shane tries to surprise Ilya. It goes terribly wrong. (Until it doesn't.)

    Summary

    As Hayden stood up, Rozanov did too. “I will help him,” he said. “You relax, enjoy not going outside in the dark.”

    Jackie sat back down with a smile. “Thank you, Ilya.”

    As Hayden and Rozanov went outside, he couldn't help himself. “What, are you afraid of the dark?”

    Rozanov made a sound similar to a scoff, leading Hayden to the car. “Try harder next time, Pike.” He dismissed the jab, but he didn't come up with one of his usual quick comebacks so Hayden counted it as a win for himself.

    --
