    Summary

    Hayden knew he shouldn’t do it. He knew snooping on someone’s phone is not cool at all, but Shane’s dry spell had really tanked their standing for the playoffs.

    And before, anytime he was off his game a little “hanging out” with his “good friend” Boston Lily seemed to fix him up. Set him straight.

    So, while Shane toweled off in the showers, Hayden might have grabbed Boston Lily’s number from his phone.

    {Or, Hayden keeps meddling in Shane's love life to his own detriment.}

    Summary

    This fic is an alternate ending (major character death) to Built to Break. It picks up in Chapter 18, in the OR, when surgeons discover Shane’s Ewing sarcoma cannot be fully removed. Clean margins aren’t possible, and the goal shifts from cure to comfort.

    What follows is the story of his final year — intentional, painful, beautiful — and the love that carries him through it.

    If you’ve read Built to Break, you can start at Chapter 18. It can also be read as a standalone.

    Summary

    Wiebe could tell he was wearing Ilya down, but he still looked nervous. "Ilya," Ilya stilled. To his team he was always Rozanov or Roz or Rozy, never Ilya. "You're our guy. There's nobody I'd rather be our captain, to lead this team to another Stanley Cup. It's clear you don't like the guy, but we both know how good this could be."

    Ilya jerked his head in a nod. "We will destroy everyone, this is true." Wiebe seemed satisfied. Ilya stood to leave and delivered one last look at Wiebe "But I do not have to be happy about it."

    ***
    Shane and Ilya are estranged for years after Tuna Meltdown. Then Shane confuses everyone by signing with the Raiders.

    Summary

    Shane knows the plan to wait to come out until they retire isn't ideal, but he doesn't have a better one. He thinks that he and Ilya can make it work, until his mom points out how long they will have to live their lives in the shadows.

    But once he realizes that, he immediately knows that he can't come out. It would ruin his legacy.

    He's pretty sure that's why he doesn't want to come out. No other reason. Right?

    He is sure that's all it is until Ilya asks him if he would be safe if he came out. And he can't answer.
