    Summary

    In room 1410, Ilya Rozanov is ready to walk out the door after successfully getting his teenage hockey rival into bed. He knows what to do to make this happen and he knows what they have to be to each other now that it's over. But as he turns the doorknob to leave, he's stopped with questions he never expected. And giving Hollander what he needs in that moment will change everything.

    Author's notes: I’m autistic and see a lot of myself in Shane Hollander. So I thought, in this situation, what if he did exactly what I did the first time I hooked up with someone and didn’t know what the protocol was after it was over, what the next steps were, how to be like everyone else in a moment that felt amazing and confusing at the same time. What if he just asked?

    Canon divergent from the first hookup seen in HR s01ep01. Some things are from the show - aged up Marleau and Hunter, mainly - but the timeline is a mix of both. (Notably, they don't wait *two years*, they stick to the book timeline. IYKYK.) Some tags are for later chapters. I post a few times a week, and think it'll be about 30 chapters total but I'll update the total count if that changes. Please comment if you feel I'm missing any tags!
