    Summary

    Shane and Ilya had mutually agreed to keep their whatever-they’re-doing out of Sochi. It was an easy decision to make: this was bigger than any MLH rivalry and definitely bigger than a few hotel hook-ups. There was no room for distractions, not with Olympic gold on the line.

    So it’d be really fucking great if their daemons could get on the same page and stop trying to cause an international fucking incident.

    Summary

    Ilya starts calling Shane boring regularly after that, not cruelly but persistently, the way you press a bruise you know is there just to confirm it still hurts. Shane's cereal is boring, Shane's training schedule is boring, Shane's shoes lined up by the door are boring, and Shane responds with variations of "fuck off" and "you're an asshole" that become increasingly creative and occasionally surprising. They do not talk about anything that matters. They talk about groceries and whose turn it is to take out the trash and whether Ilya's music is too loud at midnight, which it is.

    On the ice, Shane is someone else entirely. Ilya watches him from the upper stands every morning with vending machine coffee going cold in his hand and doesn't tell anyone.

    Or: Shane asked Ilya once how you know when it's the right person. Ilya described Shane to him, and Shane didn't recognise himself.

    Summary

    “You like it here?” Rosanov asked after a few more moments of silence.

    Shane looked over at him, but Rozanov was still facing away. “What, Saskatchewan?" 

    The Russian laughed, it was a bright and brilliant sound. “No, this place is shithole. Canada.”

    Summary

    “You want to talk to people about me?” Shane asked quietly.

    There was something small and confused in the question. But Ilya was still furious and raw.

    “Well I would,” he sneered, “if there was anything about you that was fucking interesting to talk about! It would be nice to not be so fucking bored and miserable!”

    The second the words left his mouth, he watched the pain roll across Shane's features like a thousand fractures shattering through glass.

    Ilya had seen Shane nearly break ribs. He had seen him miss game-winning shots, take hits that left bruises blooming purple and black across his skin. He had never seen this.

    Shane closed his eyes for a long moment. He shook his head slightly, a tiny movement, then nodded once as if agreeing with something only he could hear. His face twisted briefly with a fresh wave of pain before he forced it to still.

    ---------

    What if Shane and Ilya don't make up so easily after the Boxing Day fight? The Centaur's plane never malfunctions, so Shane never proposes. Instead, Ilya gives him an ultimatum on coming out and going public. It backfires spectacularly.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander comes out before opening night and unleashes Shane Hollander Hysteria across the NHL.
    All-Stars circle like it’s free agency and he’s the only contract available.
    His DMs combust. Rival captains get bold. Hotel rooms get interesting. The league gets possessive.
    The Metros couldn’t care less because Shane keeps dominating on the ice while getting fucked in every time zone.
    It becomes the worst-kept secret in professional hockey: everyone wants their turn.
    Ilya Rozanov is handling this very normally.

    Or:
    Shane Hollander comes out and discovers that freedom can look like a lot of things.
    Sometimes it looks like sex in every time zone.
    Sometimes it looks like queer community forming around him across the league and far beyond it.
    Sometimes it looks like becoming the most confident version of himself he has ever been.
    And somewhere in the middle of all of it, one rival captain starts realizing he may have made a catastrophic mistake.
    Unfortunately for him, Shane Hollander is having a great time.
