    Summary

    They’re getting into a rhythm now, though, and Shane can see it. He can see this team winning the Cup this year. He tries not to get ahead of himself, tries to stay focused and go game by game, reminds himself that building up a team takes time and several seasons, but god. He wants this legacy: for himself, for Ottawa, for Ilya. For both of them and everyone else.

    Which is why, goddamnit, now is not the time to crash out over fantasies of Ilya working his whole hand down to the wrist into Shane’s ass and fucking him on his fist. And yet. Shane should know by now that timing and “good ideas” are rarely factors in whether or not he gets obsessed with something.

    OR:

    It starts, as a surprising number of things actually do, with a text from Rose.

    Summary

    Rozanov grabbed him by the front of the shirt and pulled him inside, somehow managing to both close the door behind him and haul him up against a wall. Shane didn’t even have a second to look at the place before Rozanov’s lips were pressed against his in a hard, bruising kiss.

    Shane goes to Ilya's apartment for the first time, and Ilya has a little challenge for him.

    Summary

    “Were you thinking of this?” Ilya growled, tightening his grip. “On the ice?”

    “Yes,” Shane panted, unable to play it cool. “Yes. I wanted to get on my knees for you right there in front of everyone after your last goal.”

    Or: After Ilya scores a hat trick against the Montreal Voyageurs, Shane is determined to give him a reward.

    Summary

    Thankfully, Ilya is ready to sooth his embarrassment away. Kind of. Sort of. Mostly. Not really.

    Summary

    The term, he’s told, is temporary retrograde amnesia. Ilya doesn’t need the direct translation to understand: he forgot things. Ten years of things.
