    Summary

    If there were three things that Neil would say his mother drilled into him from his time on the run, it would be these:
    1 – Never stay in the same place for more than six months.
    2 – Never let someone in.
    3 – Whatever you do, never, ever, go to the hospital.

    *****
    Neil Josten, Cardiac Surgeon, has always bounced from hospital to hospital, too volatile, until he gets invited (strongarmed) by David Wymack to join the ragtag team that makes up St Anthony’s Hospital. Everything is going swimmingly until he starts to experience some heart problems. Isn’t it weird how symptoms only appear when a certain pediatric surgeon is around?

    tldr: Neil is a cardiac surgeon and thinks his crush on Andrew is a heart condition.

    Summary

    (Post long game).
    During an away game against Washington, Ilya and Shane's lives change forever.

    One second Shane is headed for the bench after passing the puck, the next there's a bad crash and Ilya is laying motionless on the ice.

    This fic follows the acute period of Ilya’s injury, and the way the boys try to comfort each other, as they try to understand and come to terms with how life is going to be from now on.

    Summary

    “How long has this been here?” Shane asked.

    Ilya frowned. “What?”

    “This,” Shane said, pressing gently.

    Ilya flinched, more surprised than hurt. He twisted awkwardly, reaching back, fingers searching. “I don’t feel anything.”

    “You don’t feel that?” Shane asked. His voice sounded wrong to his own ears.

    Ilya sighed, irritation creeping in. “You’re poking me. Of course I feel that.”

    “Ilya.”

    “It’s probably nothing,” Ilya said, already pulling away, sitting up. “Muscle knot. I don’t know.”

     

    Or,
    Ilya is used to surviving alone. Shane won’t let him. When illness forces their lives to change overnight, they learn what marriage really means. Not in vows, but in the relentless decision to stay.

    Summary

    God, he was having a freak out and it was gonna be a bad one.

    “I can’t do this I can’t do this. I can’t I can’t. why?! I can’t! I can’t.” Shane was sobbing. He could breathe he couldn’t hear.

    His whole body was burning. Not like on fire, but it was tingling. Like an energy was trying to escape him from all directions. Like anxiety was trying to seep out of every pore in his skin.

     

    Or Shane has a really bad meltdown during a game.

    Summary

    "Rozy," Brian, the team doctor says, "talk to me, buddy. That puck clipped you pretty good, how’s the pain?"

    Ilya blinks. He clenches his jaw against a wave of nausea. He rests his cheek on the ice, and the cold helps a little.

    "Bad. Very bad." He swallows. "Is Shane here?"

    -

    or, in the final MTL/BOS game of the year, ilya takes a puck to the head.

    Summary

    “Alright, the shirt is going to have to come off,” Shane says, sliding back. “I can cut it off you or you can take it off yourself.” 

    After a lengthy pause in which Shane is unprofessionally lost in those glittering eyes, the firefighter grabs the hem of his shirt and begins to lift. He stops almost instantly with his elbows crossed over his face and his chiseled abdomen right there for Shane to gawp at, holy shit

    The pained noise the man makes jars Shane back into motion. “Right, okay. My turn,” he mumbles, smoothing the fireman’s hands back onto his lap.

    Summary

    Instead of Shane, it is Ilya who suffers a concussion during the Boston-Montreal game in April 2017. Dazed and agitated, Ilya briefly starts speaking and responding only in Russian and the medics can’t calm him down. Luckily, Shane started studying Russian after Ilya spoke to him in Russian on the phone from Moscow. For no particular reason. Certainly not because he’s fallen in love with Ilya Rozanov.

    In Montreal with lingering concussion symptoms, Ilya is advised not to fly home for a few days, and the hospital won’t release him without assurances that he has someone to stay with him until his symptoms improve. Luckily, Shane conveniently has a condo in Montreal no one knows about and a few days before he has to travel again.

    But Ilya’s symptoms don’t resolve after a few days. Which is okay; Shane can handle it. He can take care of Ilya, study Russian, lead his team into the playoffs, and keep Ilya’s continued presence in Montreal a secret. He can do everything, no problem. He is Shane Hollander after all.

    Summary

    Neil's been on his feet for the last thirty-six hours. His leg is aching, his interns are all idiots, his charge nurse thinks he should've gone home hours ago, but Neil can't bring himself to leave the knowing chaos of the ER.

    He tells himself he'll see one more patient. One more, then he'll clock out.

    Except, Neil's last patient of the day turns out to be a professional exy player, who's just punched another doctor, might be hiding some knives, and seems determined to notice everything Neil is trying to hide.

    And, well - maybe Neil doesn't want to hide from one Andrew Minyard.

    OR

    Neil is an emergency physician and Andrew is a pro exy player who keeps finding himself in Neil's ER. Oblivious flirting ensues.

    Kevin's there too. Just...being Kevin.

    Summary

    Wisdom teeth surgery: 0/10, would not recommend.

    Confessing your feelings to your secret boyfriend while high on anesthesia in front of a nurse: -10/10, please make it stop.

    Shane’s parents are in Belize, he’s got an emergency dental surgery, and Ilya drives two hours from Ottawa without hesitation. What follows is 24 hours of post-op care, an alarming amount of feelings said out loud, and the mortifying realization that yes, he really did call Ilya a “hot lion.”

    At least the nurse was cool about the whole secret boyfriend thing.

    Summary

    Aaron started to drift off, lulled by Kevin's low voice and quiet French. Several quick taps to his shoulder ripped that dream away.

    He glared at Kevin with a single, scathing eye. “What.”

    “They need a pediatrician,” he whispered, holding the mouthpiece away from his face.

    “I’m not a pediatrician when the sun isn't out. Tell them to call their actual doctor in the morning,” Aaron grumbled and rolled over.

    Kevin pushed at his shoulder again. “Sweetheart, it’s bad. They need help.”

    *****

    Jean and Jeremy struggle. Aaron and Kevin become the village.

    “He looks so happy,” Jackie said, joining him at the railing. She rested her head against his shoulder, wrapped an arm around his waist. “It’s really nice to see.”

    “Yeah, it really is,” Hayden said. He sighed heavily. “Fuck. I’m gonna have to start liking Ilya Rozanov, aren’t I?”

    Jackie giggled, rubbing his back in a placating manner. “I’m afraid so, babe.”

    OR

    5 times Hayden started understanding Shane and Ilya's relationship, and the 1 time he finally told Shane he did.

    Summary

    Apparently, Mr. Oz decided psychologically torturing a 15 year-old for six months was no longer "cool." And now Tim's paying the price for that, because instead of killing him like any good, self-respecting villain would, he's dropped him back on Earth with an apology and a snack.

    Or,

    It's been six months for Tim. It's been 10 years for Tim's family.

    I'm sure it will all be fine.

    Summary

    Instantly, Wymack knows that this is going to set off a bomb in their home. Elodie is a good kid, quiet and skittish as hell, but smart and polite and pretty receptive to the general structure of their house. This kid has defiance written all over his file, and he’s fifteen, which means that he can take however much belligerence he’s guessing and fucking multiply it by ten.

    But it’s also clear that Jean needs somewhere safe. And that is something he and Abby can easily provide.
