    Summary

    "In sickness and in health," were the wedding vows that Ilya and Shane exchanged almost a year ago, surrounded by the people who loved them. Sooner than they imagined, that promise was put to the test when an accident changed the trajectory of the players' lives.

    Shane is forced to retire early. The player sees his world crumble as he loses what he loved most in life, and Ilya is by his side, ready to lift him up, ready to make Shane understand that not all is lost.

    Summary

    “Is Boston even interested.”

    Ilya scoffs at him like Shane is an idiot.

    “Is sky blue? Is water wet? Is English stupid language? Yes, Hollander, of course we want best player in the league.” Ilya mutters more in disgruntled Russian and Shane gets up off the couch to Google Russian lessons on his ipad while continuing their conversation.

     

    Or, a Shane goes to Boston story.

    Summary

    Cliff Marleau has known about Ilya Rozanov’s relationship since Ilya was twenty-two. 

    It’s not like it was complicated to put the pieces together, is the thing. When it all comes out in public, the Raiders have various different meltdowns – Twitter explodes in a way that is sort of unprecedented, and breaks out of the hockey specific Twitter spaces the same way that the Scott Hunter thing did. There’s shitty headlines and queer space headlines, and it’s a whole thing. And Cliff is pretty sure he’s the person least surprised about it. 

    But here’s the thing. Cliff Marleau has known Ilya Rozanov since the kid was eighteen. 

    OR:
    Marly's not as oblivious as everyone thinks. Throughout his time knowing Ilya Rozanov, he picks up on some things nobody else seems to be seeing. He keeps his mouth shut about it.

    Summary

    “Well, they had pretty good steak, but I don’t know if they’d have anything you would like,” Hayden says, and kicks off his shoes. He falls onto his bed with a contented sigh, then looks over at Shane, who hasn’t said anything yet. “Shane? You good?”

    Shane means to say he’s fine, but what comes out instead is: “Rose is having a baby.”

    Hayden sits up abruptly.

    “Whoa,” he says. “You’re serious?”

    “Yeah,” says Shane. “She just called me. She took three tests.”

    “Been there, brother,” says Hayden, his eyes wide. Shane puts his head in his hands again.

    ~

    A few weeks after Rose and Shane split up, Rose discovers that she's pregnant. Overwhelmed by the prospect of fatherhood, Shane puts off confronting Ilya about his feelings, and they never hook up at the All-Stars Game. They find their way back to each other anyway.
