    Summary

    ”You love that I am boring,” Shane quips and it comes out more confidently than he expects it to.

    “Yes,” Ilya agrees. “I tell you this all the time.”

    “You do?”

    “Da.”

    “I can’t remember you ever saying anything like that to me,” Shane muses honestly and even though he himself is uninjured, Ilya winces slightly.

    “Well, I do now. Tell you I love your boring. Tell you I love you.”

    “What changed?”

    or

    After an injury on the ice, Shane cannot remember the last ten years of his life with Ilya. Ilya resolves to help.

    Summary

    Bitty doesn't know why he even posts the video, but he can't help but be grateful for it when it sparks a friendship with a charmingly awkward internet stranger. Between arguing with his parents about his future, his fear of checking making a resurgence, and life as a college sophomore at Samwell, having someone he can talk to with no filter is an outlet he desperately needs. But as him and his new friend grow closer, Bitty starts to suspect that there may be more to his anonymity than simple shyness.

    Jack didn't go to Samwell AU.

    Complete.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander had a plan. It was a good plan, just as every other plan he’d ever made was a good plan. Then he watched a video of a burning plane carrying the love of his life and it became the only plan he’d ever changed.

    or...

    Shane goes to Tampa. The next morning, Troy Barrett receives a text from Ilya:

    “Bringing boyfriend to breakfast. Tell team to be not weird.”

    The Centaurs are, unsurprisingly, weird about it but become the best support system they could ask for as Shane and Ilya navigate the choice to fully begin their lives together and love each other out loud.

    Summary

    "Rozy," Brian, the team doctor says, "talk to me, buddy. That puck clipped you pretty good, how’s the pain?"

    Ilya blinks. He clenches his jaw against a wave of nausea. He rests his cheek on the ice, and the cold helps a little.

    "Bad. Very bad." He swallows. "Is Shane here?"

    -

    or, in the final MTL/BOS game of the year, ilya takes a puck to the head.

    Summary

    When Shane Hollander’s grandmother dies, he deals with his grief by fufilling a promise he made her when she was still healthy. In his journey, the teenager finds himself enrolled in Moscow’s private school system under a shiny hockey scholarship.

    On the Russian ice, he meets a boy with wet blue eyes and a mean mouth that seems like he lost someone too. Between some prideful fights, tentative jabs, silently holding hands in the dark and relative hunting, the teens seal an unlikely bound.

    They keep finding each other after that. Again, and again.

    _______
    Or Shane is a second-gen immigrant from Japan trying to fulfill his Buryat grandmother’s last wish and in doing so he ends up in a grieving teenage Ilya’s Russia.

    They take even longer to realise they’re as inevitable as the sunrise.

    Summary

    Ilya is plummeting to his death when he closes his eyes, heart full of regret.

    When he opens them in what feels like just a second later, he is standing outside a rink in Regina, Saskatchewan. There’s a banner on the building across the street:

    World Junior Hockey Championship 2009.

    Summary

    “Am I speaking with Ilya Grigorievich Rozanov?”

    Ilya went silent immediately. That was not his brother’s voice. Nor was it Katia’s, his sister-in-law’s. It was an aristocratic, cold voice. He went completely still.

    “Yes.”

    “I’m calling from the Child Services Department, Ilya Grigorievich,” the woman continued, and Ilya frowned deeply. “Your brother Alexei Rozanov and his wife died yesterday in a car accident.”

    Twice in his life, Ilya had felt like this. The ice around his heart melted just enough for the numbness to vanish and give way to a sharp, stinging pain. It lasted only two seconds before he managed to compose himself. He didn’t want to feel anything for Alexei, so even if Katia’s death carried a trace of sadness—she was a mess, but she always tried to smile at him and cook warm meals for him when he visited Russia—, he dismissed the feeling entirely.

    “So what?”

    “You are the only living family member of their daughter. Your brother named you as her legal guardian, Ilya Grigorievich.”

    Summary

    He only realizes he’s doing it when it’s too late to stop.

    He’s standing in the drink aisle of the grocery store, checking the expiration dates on the cans of Coke, mentally cross-checking them with Boston’s away game schedule, and the reality hits him like someone shook one of those cans and popped it open. A snap. A fizz. A mess.

    Shane is making space for Ilya.
