   Summary

   This picks up around the cannon timeline of the long game—only Shane and Ilya never started hooking up, Irina Rozanov lives because I said so, and Ilya has an recently un-estranged ten year old daughter. Shane and Ilya remain deeply, deeply obsessed with each other. They are about to spend the summer in Ottawa coaching at Ilya’s foundation / hockey camp. Surely a decade of mutual pining can reach its inevitable conclusion?

   Note: I updated the summary because this fic now has a companion piece from Ilya’s POV and I wanted them to be more cohesive!
