    Summary

    Would they get into trouble with their own team over this? Probably.

    Would it be worth it?

    Abso-fucking-lutely.

    “He’s doing it again,” Dykstra stage-whispered, pulling Ilya back to reality. “It’s getting weird.”

    Bood nodded. “Yeah. How he actually managed to land Hollzy with that creepy smile is beyond me.”

    Ilya snorted. “Fuck off, idiots.”

    “Ah,” Wyatt made a cheerful noise. “He’s back! We missed you, Cap.”

    “But we’d also appreciate it if you could stop grinning like a lunatic,” Chouinard said, pointing at Ilya’s face. “You look like you’re about to become the Metros’ worst nightmare.”

     

    OR

    For months, Shane has been treated like an outcast—branded a traitor by the city he once called home. Now he can’t wait to leave Montreal behind for good. Yet, determined to keep his dignity, he takes part in one final fan event to raise money for a children’s hospital.

    On the surface, it’s simple enough. Fans exchange money for an autograph, a picture and a fleeting moment with their former hero—nothing Shane hasn’t done countless times over the past decade. This time, however, his final obligation to the team doesn’t end the way he expects.

    Summary

    “And starting at center, your captain, #24, Shane Hollander.” The crowd erupts right as the announcer finishes.

    “Phoebe say ‘go daddy!’” Ilya tells her, lifting her up so she's now standing on his thighs. The camera cuts to Ilya and Phoebe for a second giving the whole arena a view of Phoebe cheering for Shane.

    “Looks like Hollander has an extra supporter tonight.” One of the announcers quips before the screen returns to the players on the ice. The game starts and Phoebe is loving it. She’s watching intently and cheering along with the crowd, although sometimes for the wrong team.

    What's cuter then Shane and Ilya? Shane and Ilya taking their toddler to her first hockey game!

    What if Shane started learning Russian from the very beginning?

    5 times Shane’s knowledge of Russian was subtle, and 1 time that it was very, very obvious. (Outsiders POV)

    Summary

    Ilya's hand continues its path up and down Shane's back, and Shane thinks again about how love is sometimes just this: a palm on the spine, moving in circles, waiting for you to come back to yourself. There is no promise of saving you—Ilya cannot save him, they both know this and are alright with it in their own ways—but there is a vow of staying, lingering in order to witness. Touching the bruise so that its pain triggers the memory that you are allowed to be touched.

    Outside, the snow continues its work of erasure. Inside, Shane's breathing begins to even out, every limb recalling how to be a man at rest rather than an animal fawning and freezing. The trembling subsides, wave by wave, as if Ilya's hand is smoothing it out of him.

    "Sleep, зайчик," Ilya says softly, his free hand coming to rest in Shane's hair. "I have you."

    This is not true, Shane thinks, and it is also the only true thing.

     

    recovery, shane learns, is not a straight line. to begin to understand something, you must first name it.

    Summary

    Some fans are not happy about the growing number of openly queer players in the league, and aren't afraid to make it known. Also, Ilya is Shane's personal weighted blanket when the world is too much.
