    Summary

    Ilya Hollander (Mila's Dad) [2:18pm]:
    Are you free tomorrow? Mila is very excited for Maddie to come over

    Bring your Centaurs fan husband!


    The minivan is the first thing Jane notices when they pull up the Hollanders' driveway.

    “See?” she says pointedly to her husband. “They drive a normal car.”

    “Janie, that’s a ninety-thousand dollar minivan,” Chris says. He puts the car in park; he’s been nervous since they left the house, but he’d never say so.

    “You need to relax,” Jane laughs. “They’re just two nice, normal dads, who invited us over so our kids can play hockey.”

    “Yeah, just normal, millionaire dads with like, seven Stanley Cups between them–”

    Jane cuts him off. “You know how hard it’s been to make friends with some of the hockey parents here. These guys are nice! And the girls get along so well!” She points a finger at her husband’s face and lowers her voice. “Don’t screw this up for her.”

    Summary

    The day before the first “official” day of training camp was always a grind. They started off with medical and fitness testing and the ceremonial peeing in a cup as the first official acts of the new season. Then the hockey players - after baring more than just their souls to a team of medical professionals - would be handed over to a caffeine-fueled marketing department for a couple of hours.

    It's media day ahead of the Ottawa Centaurs training camp, and Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are ready to go through the gauntlet.

    Summary

    “You are planning to rob me or what?” He hears Rozanov call, and he can’t help but smile slightly even as he rolls his eyes, closing the door to the linen closet and feeling strangely lighter than when he opened it, reassured that he’s just trying to read into a blank page, that today doesn’t mean anything more than Rozanov doesn’t mind him being around, which is strangely flattering.

    “I don’t know,” he calls back. “Don’t Russians like diamonds and fur and stuff? Where should I start looking if I want to know what my options are?”

    He hears Rozanov laugh, and it makes him smile.

    When he joins him in the living room once more, Rozanov tugs him down to lean against him again. Shane goes easier this time, settling into it, knowing it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that he just happens to be the closest warm body, the person on Rozanov’s roster who filled today’s slot.

    (the tuna meltdown doesn't happen) (this does not mean they get ANY better at communication)

    (or: how shane didn't realize he had a boyfriend for several months)

    Summary

    Ilya's father wakes him at four in the morning to tell him that he never had dementia, and that Ilya must leave Russia, right now, permanently. Forty-something hours later Ilya is standing in a township office in rural Ontario, marrying Shane Hollander for citizenship. Everything after that — the lawyer, the joint account, the wills, the drive up to the cottage — was never part of the plan.

    Alternatively: In the summer of 2016, Ilya must flee Russia, never to return. Shane makes a brilliant plan: marry Ilya to get him Canadian citizenship. It’s only after the wedding that they realize citizenship law doesn’t really work that way.

    Alternatively x 2: My inversion of the “married for citizenship” trope.
