    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

    The Voyageurs are playing Oklahoma City at home tonight, and Ilya has been ignoring it, because he has his own game to win. But he looks up on instinct, sees the collision, in slow-motion instant replay, the inexorable crashing of two heavily padded bodies into each other and the boards and the ice, blood seeping out from underneath number 24, and he thinks "that's not the kind of thing you walk away from."

    Shane goes down. Ilya tries to help him back up.

    Summary

    “You are not broken, Ilya,” Terry says, sounding a little stern now. “I told you to keep an eye on the side effects. How long have you been experiencing this?”

    “Since last night.”

    “What?”

    “Since last night,” Ilya repeats. “Or afternoon, technically.”

    And Terry…Terry fucking laughs.

    Ilya is going to die, and Shane will be sad forever and Terry fucking laughs.

    “It hasn’t even been a day?” Terry clarifies, still chuckling. “Well, this could have nothing to do with the medication. It could just be an off day—”

    “Off day?” Ilya repeats incredulously. “Have you seen my husband? There are no off days with an ass like that.”

    OR: Ilya starts taking antidepressants only to realise it's fucking up his sex life. And, he acts totally very chill about it.

    Summary

    Finally, Ilya exhaled hard, shoulders slumping just slightly as he turned around. “I don’t like sharing you.”

    “I’m not shared,” Shane said softly. “You’re my boyfriend, he is my bestfriend.”

    Ilya turned back, eyes still stormy. “I see the way he looks at you. Because he looks at you the same way I look at you.”

    Shane’s mouth fell open, half grinning with amusement. Did Ilya really think Hayden was in love with him?

    “Ilya, Hayden has a wife and four kids, what are you talking abo-”

    “How could he not?!” Ilya cut him off. “You are perfect. Perfect son, perfect hockey player, perfect boyfriend, perfect friend!” He spits out, using air quotations to exaggerate the friend part.

    -----

    OR: Ilya Rozanov is extremely jealous of Hayden Pike. Shane ends up in a situation needing help, and both Hayden and Ilya show up at the same time... chaos ensues as Hayden connects the dots.
