    Summary

    Set in a 2025 AU, with Ilya and Shane both in their late twenties, this story follows Ilya Rozanov as he crosses paths with Shane Hollander — and starts paying attention.

    Shane Hollander never joined the NHL.
    Ilya Rozanov never learned how to slow down.

    A silent disco, a hoodie, a podcast, and a handful of almost-moments later, they’re both in deeper than they meant to be — and neither of them knows what to do with it.

    Slow burn, divergence, softness, and the slow realization that wanting something doesn’t mean you know how to keep it.

    He stops waiting.
    Told through alternating POV, this fic explores what happens when Shane moves on, and what it does to Ilya to realize he doesn’t get to decide where Shane stays.
    It was never just sex. It was never just a game.
    And when Shane finally chooses steadiness, it changes the rules.
    And who is that man?

    OR

    Shane is trying to build something honest.
    Ilya is trying not to lose him.
    And the silence they used to live inside is no longer an option.

    filled with angst. slow burn.
