    Summary

    “Oh my god, stop telling my mum I’m good in bed,” Shane growled, kicking him under the table.

    “What?” Ilya frowned. “You want her to think you are bad at it? Is not true. Why would you want this?”

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?"

    He’s thankful his voice doesn’t shake, but he’s trembling. And he knows Ilya notices. Even all these years later, he’s sure he can still read Shane like a fucking book.

    Ilya’s smile softens and he points to the ice, where the player whose eyes had brought Shane back to Before lines up with the other boys.

    “My son."

    Ilya never goes to the cottage. Nearly two decades later, they meet again.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov's life takes an unexpected turn when a deadly plane crash in 2021 takes his life, right after a fight with his long-time partner, Shane Hollander. Though instead of the afterlife, Ilya is sent back to December 2008, just before his NHL career began, on the very day that he first met Shane. He finds himself in a familiar world, with knowledge of both the future and knowledge of the man he loves and the friends he holds dear.

    As Ilya navigates this new reality, he rebuilds his relationship with Shane, who is still finding his path in both hockey and his identity as a gay man. With their rivalry blossoming into a different experience than the one Ilya experienced the first time around, the two face challenges around acceptance, family pressures, and the struggles of being openly gay and lovers in the sports world. Throughout their journey, Ilya contemplates his first life, cherishes the present, and strives to alter the course of their futures (and the futures of their friends) for the better.

    Or, Ilya Rozanov discovers first hand what the butterfly effect is, and how it can drastically alter the future.

    Summary

    A collection of slice-of-life and missing moment microfics about our favorite rivals. Marked as complete because each chapter is independent, but I will continue to add to this as I write more little things!

    Excerpt from most recent chapter:
    Shane Hollander was in the crowd of Ilya’s playoff game, wearing his jersey. On his body. Ilya’s name on his back. In stadium lighting. For the whole fucking world to see.

    “Fuck,” Ilya rasped hoarsely, mind going blank, sinking shakily onto the nearest bench, bringing the phone closer to his eyes.
