    Summary

    Shane freezes.
    It hits him all at once; how exposed he is, how alone. On the ice he’s done it a hundred times, likely more. It’s expected of him, Applauded. His arms feel heavy at his sides, fingers numb, like they don’t belong to him, and he doesn’t understand why. The man infront of him is swaying so hard a stiff breeze could knock him over, so why? Why is Shane so scared? Why is he so-?
    The stranger must see it. Whatever bravado the man walked out with curdles into something mean when he realizes Shane isn’t going to swing back. Fear is blood in the water. Shane's thoughts are scattered, looping: he’s so far from home. He’s alone. So far from home. Don’t get hit. Don’t get hit.
    The man draws his fist back. No penalty.

    ~

    Shane gets into an altercation outside a bar after a visiting win. Ilya intervenes. Neither of them are happy about it.

    Summary

    "His skates edge caught wrong, shifted his weight, and he fucking fell down. The world tilted just enough.
    That’s all it took.

    One bad second. One bad angle. The puck sliding away like it was never his to begin with.

    He swallows hard, throat tight.

    I lost them the Cup.

    The words belong to himself. They’re just there, sitting in his chest.

    Why—

    “What the fuck was that, Hollander?”"

    ---------------

    The one where Shane trips at the last Montreal vs Ottawa game and his Team are not kind about it. And what happens when he runs into Ilyas Teammate. What happens when Ilya finds out.

    Summary

    "Ilya had loved him through his worst moments. Ilya had helped him find a therapist when he’d collapsed on the floor of their hotel bathroom after losing a particularly brutal game, scratching at his chest. Ilya had held him, even when Shane yelled at him because there was panic crawling under his skin and he felt as though it might claw its way out. Ilya had told him it was okay; that it didn’t make him a bad player to resent the spotlight sometimes, that it didn’t make him a bad teammate to hate the team when they were too loud and too drunk and too physical, that it didn’t make him a bad person to need space to breathe. Ilya saved him.

    And look what you give him in return. You’re a shitty husband, Shane Hollander.

    You don’t deserve his last name."

    Summary

    “Let him live, Roz,” Bood slurred. “Season’s over.”

    Embarrassment burned hot. Shane’s face flushed. He glared at Ilya, a look that said back off.

    Ilya’s jaw tightened. He stepped back and put his hands up. “Okay.”

    Shane stared Ilya down, maintaining eye contact as he defiantly chugged the remainder of the beer in his hand. Ilya fought to keep his expression unchanged, not wanting to feed into any drunken game Shane might be trying to play. He stood quietly, a few steps away.

    But he watched. He always watched.

    ---

    OR: Shane has a bad week sending him into an autistic shutdown and self-destructive path that finally sends a typically patient Ilya over the edge – requiring some hard conversations and punishment to move on. (Happy Ending)

    Summary

    Maybe he was naive, but Ilya always thought he had time. Time with Shane. Time to tell him what he truly meant to him.

    That, somehow, one way or another, Shane would always be there.

    But a text message late one night threatens to destroy the future that Ilya has spent the time carefully constructing in his mind.

    Maybe Shane wasn't always going to be there. That Shane would be cruelly snatched away from him before he had a chance to be honest.

    That he would be left behind. Alone.
