    Summary

    Based very loosely on events from The Long Game that my brain wanted to put into the first book, somewhere between Shane’s injury, and before Scott Hunter wins the cup - for maximum angst, obviously.

    What if Ilya’s plane had actually crashed? And what if it had happened before he and Shane had the chance to confess their love and know what it was like to be together.

    Or

    A fic so I could write a really needy Shane who can't hide his feelings anymore, and an Ilya who is faced with the undeniable truth that someone cares for him.

    Summary

    “We are not taking the same flight,” he said, pushing Ilya’s phone away. “That would be insane.”
    “Oh, come on,” Ilya whined. “You are being too paranoid. Nobody cares if two people are on the same flight—we are friends, remember?”
    --
    After Ilya gets an injury that puts him on the bench for a month, he convinces Shane to let him go watch a game against the Washington Capitals. Shane agrees, on one condition: they fly separately. Which works out, until he's stuck at the airport having a sensory meltdown and everything just keeps going wrong.

    Summary

    ”Ilya!” Shane was lying in a hospital bed, the sun from the open blinds making him glow almost as much as the smile on his face did. ”Mom, dad, it’s Ilya!”

    ”We can see that”, Mr. Hollander said.

    ”For whatever reason”, Mrs. Hollander said.

    //

    Or, Shane had no inhibitions and multiple visitors.
