Summary
Entering an actual relationship near the very beginning of when they first meet, Shane is still paranoid about pictures of them getting shared so Ilya buys him a Polaroid camera instead to document their relationship all the way back from 2012. The only problem is that he never intended for Yuna to find the album.
---
“I know we can’t have pictures of each other, but I still want them,” he confessed, still fiddling with Shane’s hair for his own comfort. “And I thought maybe...if they were just ours, you might be okay with it.”Shane stayed silent, eyes glancing between his tense expression and the bag as he pulled out a Polaroid camera. His thumb was gripping it so hard he thought it might crack, his anxiety manifesting physically.
“Ilya...” He paused, finally sitting up a bit more. Enough that Ilya had no choice but to let his hand fall away from his hair or else, it would seem too clingy.
“Is fine, if you don’t like idea,” he clarified, even though the thought of being rejected terrified him more than he could possibly express. “Was just a thought—”
“I like it,” Shane interjected before he could spin himself into a tizzy he would deny ever feeling in the first place.

Summary
They’re in bed, spooning in the afterglow but still connected. Ilya’s face is red, his eyes half-lidded. He looks almost drunk, feral and raw. Shane feels like he’s melted into the bed and never wants to leave it. Like he could lie here, claimed and had, for the rest of his life.
And then there’s a knock at the door. He recognizes the pattern, which is a blessing and a curse both. Tap–ta-tap. The way his father always does.
Or: David drops by a few hours earlier.

Summary
Yuna Hollander had always been fiercely protective of her son. Shane had always had a gentle heart, and kids had noticed and bullied him mercilessly. By nine, he stood out from the other kids because he was so much better at hockey.
As the other boys discovered girls, Shane discovered new moves on the ice. Yuna was the team mom. She heard the boys whispering about girls and about first kisses. She would see Shane hear them and watch as he quickly laced his skates and skated away. He never joined in the talk.
Jessica had come and gone in less than a season, and Shane had always looked uncomfortable holding her hand. When she had brought it up with David, he had sighed and said, “When he’s ready, he’ll find a very nice young man.” She teared up, and he said, “Honey.”
“He wants to go into the MHL, David. They won’t be kind to our boy.”
He nodded but said, “We’ll be there for him. It will be okay.”
Then along came Ilya Rozanov.
Yuna Hollander has always done everything in her power to protect her son. But when Scott Hunter chirps at him while mic’d she realizes she might have missed the mark and Shane needs more help than just her.

Summary
Getting snowed into a city they weren’t supposed to be staying in is not ideal. Even more not ideal is every hotel in the area being booked. And Ilya can’t get Shane on the phone to let him know.
“Hey! Listen up! Before we go inside you all listen closely! This is my home, there are ground rules. First of all, I am bisexual. There have been rumors but they are true. My boyfriend is gay and a hockey player. He has recently told his team and they are assholes. If I hear anything about him I will kick your ass and leave you to rot out in the snow.”
“Is that Shane Hollander?”

Or, Ilya’s game is canceled and they have nowhere to stay. But they are in Ottawa, where his team knows he lives. So he’s roped into spending the snow break with his team that he’s not out to, in his home he shares with his boyfriend, a boyfriend that they don’t know about.Bookmarked by FroYoFroggy

Summary
In a timeline where Scott never worked up the nerve to kiss Kip, Ilya and Shane still make their relationship official but he never decides to play for Ottawa. Instead, they stick to a long-distance relationship which leads to Hayden hiding in a bathroom while his best friend crawls into bed with the most abhorrent man in the entire league.
---
“He did not hit you on purpose,” Shane defended. “And you attacked him after he helped you up, remember? If the medic didn’t bench you, starting a fight would have. You probably got the better end of the deal.”Good, Hayden thought to himself. At least he wasn’t going to throw JJ under the bus for what was clearly an accident.
Ilya tsk’d in annoyance. “Don’t act like he didn’t take the opportunity to throw a punch,” he replied. “I saw you go after Marleau, too.”
“Well, I had to go after someone. I couldn’t just stand there why everyone was fighting and look like an idiot,” Shane responded with a shrug. “Besides, it was mild payback for him sending me to the hospital.”
“He said you fight like Pomeranian,” Ilya retorted with a straight face. “Puppy mitts that barely hurt.”
