Summary
Ilya’s head snaps back, his back arching up and away from the ice. He’s convulsing, a choking sound escaping his throat. Strong arms are pulling Shane away as the medical team descends.
He fights the hands on him. “Stop it,” Shane demands. He identifies Bood as his captor. “Bood, let me go. I mean it, let me go. I’ll stay out of the way.”
“No, you won’t.” Bood tightens his grip. “Just give them a second to work. Roz needs them working on them more than he needs you blocking their way. You can see fine from here.”
But Bood doesn’t understand. If Ilya is aware, if he can hear and feel and see everything happening around him, there is nothing and no one truly familiar.
Or, Ilya gets his bell rung

Summary
Ilya had seen it all- a sunrise, a sunset, a solar eclipse. Looking out over the water, Shane let out a dreamy sort of sigh and said, “I like this."
“The sunset?” Ilya noticed the millisecond of hesitation, so he asked, “Something else?”
“No, the sunset is beautiful,” Shane said quickly. “But it’s also just… being here.” He cleared his throat, trying and failing to sound nonchalant. “With you. It’s nice.”
Maybe that was part of why loving him had scared Ilya so much at first- he had seen the gold in Shane right away, had been transfixed by the possibility of being that close to sunshine again after so many years in the dark. His mom had been golden, too, a bright light that brought so much laughter and compassion into the world. He didn't know if he could handle losing the warmth on his face a second time.
For so long, that kept him from being honest about his feelings, from letting himself believe that someone else could see the light in him, too. But Shane...
Shane Hollander looked at Ilya like he was the sun.

Or; Ilya spends a sunrise with Svetlana, a sunset with Shane, and a solar eclipse in his new home.

Summary
“Hmm… if I could go back in time, I would have many things to tell myself, probably.”
“Oh, yeah? Like what?”
“Like,” Ilya took a deep breath, “Oh, young Ilya, give this sad Canadian boy a chance. There will be much improvement in his skills in few years.”
Shane furrowed his eyebrows, “what, like, in hockey?”
“No. Blowjob. You are much better about your teeth.”

Summary
Shane heard Jackie behind him talking to the nurse in a failed attempt at keeping her voice down. He heard the words, ‘possible suicide attempt’ and, ‘no pulse’ before they were out of ears reach. He shakily exhaled and let himself be led into the family bathroom.
“He’s a fighter.” Hayden supplied gently.
“I know.” Shane replied.
