   Summary

   "Do you ever wonder-"

   "Oh god, yes," Ilya blurts out before he can even register the words leaving his lips. "Literally all the time."

   -

   AU where Ilya does cut things off before the cottage and Shane lets him.

   He watches Shane’s life and career from a safe distance, secretly looking forward to any games when they’d share the ice.

   Years on, Shane publicly comes out and transfers to the Ottawa Centaurs out of necessity.

   A story of repair. Eventually.
