Summary
Shane wishes that he could say he doesn't see it happen, but he does.
They've been on the attack in Edmonton's zone for nearly two minutes, and their opponents are getting tired and desperate. Ilya is in front of the net, right where Shane should be. Every player on the ice has been moving in and out of position, trying to keep their attack going, and he ends up by the blue line when Chouinard takes a shot that flies towards the goal.
Ilya shift to side in hopes of tipping the puck in, and an Edmonton defenseman lunges forward with his stick lifted in hopes of blocking the shot.
The puck rings off the crossbar, and Ilya drops.

Summary
Nothing feels right or good. Not the weight of his pads or the glide of his skates over fresh ice. Not the crispness of the rink air or the roar of a sold out Montreal crowd. Not his teammates’ triumphant shouts when he sinks a goal or cool water in his throat after a hard workout or well wishing texts from his parents before every game. It’s all just… faded.
Grey.
Empty.
Shane doesn’t know how to bring color back into his life. Not when he leeched it out himself with every step he took away from the only person who has ever truly, honestly seen him.

After Shane walks away, his life falls apart one piece at a time.

Summary
Shane tries to remember, peering into the darkness surrounding the car with a furrowed brow. It hurts to move, and he feels something warm and slick sliding down his cheek.
More blood, his mind supplies rather unhelpfully.
He was driving after dark, but he shouldn’t have been. He wasn’t supposed to be. They had all night together, so why is he here?
I already chose you, Hollander.
Shane inhales sharply as his mind slowly fills in the gaps in his memory. They fought. Ilya told him to leave. Shane did.
And then he crashed.

Summary
"Someone did this to me."
Ilya can only nod, knowing that there's not much else to say. What comfort can he offer, when he can only imagine the turmoil that Shane must feel?
"You're safe now," he offers, hoping that it can offer some measure of solace.
Shane's eyes flit back to him, wide and swallowed up by a tangle of emotions.
"I always was," he says, his voice hushed. "You were there."

Shane is drugged by heat inducers at the club, and Ilya is there to help him through it.

Summary
“I couldn’t.”
The words are spoken in a whisper so quiet that Ilya nearly misses it. Could convince himself they were never spoken at all.
“I couldn’t… go,” Shane says, still so quiet.
Ilya is looking at him now. Sees a tear slip free and wants nothing more than to wipe it away. He doesn’t dare touch. Doesn’t know what these rules are now. Nothing is the same, and he can’t undo what was done.
He tried. He said it right. Took back the mistake. Hollander, he said. A bandaid over a still bleeding wound. An assurance that nothing had to change when everything already did. Hollander. A second time. A plea. Don’t go. Stay. Stay now. Stay forever.

Shane doesn't make it out the door.

Summary
At twenty-one, Ilya Rozanov is the Soviet Union’s most perfect weapon, a soldier of the Red Machine who has spent three years locked in a silent, jagged war on the ice with Canada’s golden boy, Shane Hollander.
When the Montreal Metros claim him as a "wasted" mid-round draft pick, the rivalry transforms from a professional grudge into a desperate lifeline. On the final night of the 1988 Calgary Olympics, he risks everything, his family, his career, and his safety, to start a new life in the West. Forced into a high-stakes billet under the roof of his bitter professional rival, Ilya must navigate a world where freedom feels like a new kind of prison.
As Ilya struggles to adapt, the crumbling Soviet empire reaches across the ocean, searching for leverage to help pull him back.
OR: What if Ilya fled Russia in 1988 to play for the Montreal Metros?

Summary
Ilya Rozanov has a "tiny car accident" (his words). Shane Hollander has a full-scale, system-shutdown panic attack about it. Meanwhile, a horrified Hayden is praying for someone to throw him in a lake and tell him that this is all just a big joke, or maybe for a meteor strike; he is really not picky. J.J., on the other hand, is trying to bleach the image of his sweet captain making out with Ilya fucking Rozanov from his brain.
It's a very normal day for the Montreal Voyageurs.

Summary
Eventually, Ilya says, “You remember that day, yes? When we were twelve?”
“Yes,” Shane breathes. “I do, I remember. It was – I knew something terrible happened.”
Ilya gasps for air, raising his head enough to look at Shane. His face is flushed and his eyelashes clumped together with tears. Shane knows Ilya can feel his heart break, doubts it’s useful right now, but he’s helpless to stop it.
“I miss my mother,” Ilya says.
---
When he was twelve, Shane felt his soulmate's world falling apart. Years later, Ilya tells him about that day.

Summary
He wanted to bury his face in the juncture between his neck and shoulder, to breathe in the smell of him, to touch his skin and give him everything that he could. He wanted to give to him until there was nothing left, until Shane had disappeared into him forever.
“Look at me,” Ilya’s voice was quiet, but Shane obeyed immediately, his eyes fuzzy at the corners, “How are you feeling?”
Shane intended to lie. There was no reason to complicate things with hard truths that not even he understood. Instead, his lip wobbled, and he found that he couldn’t say anything at all.
“Ah,” Ilya made a noise that sounded nearly as devastated as Shane felt, and put a hand on the back of his neck, pulling him forward. Shane went easily, his forehead pressing into Ilya’s shoulder, and breathing deeply through his nose, trying not to cry.
Or, Shane drops after leaving Ilya's house.
