    Summary

    He couldn’t help the way his thoughts wandered, fixating on how it had felt to be good for Shane. It had felt perfect—felt right, like Ilya had been born for the express purpose of rolling over for Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    After running out on Ilya post–tuna meltdown, Shane feels like absolute shit.

    It’s not until the middle of the night, stuck in a hotel room with Hayden, Shane realises he quite literally feels like shit as he spills his guts out in front of his very worried roommate.

    By morning, the game is cancelled—the Raiders are down with stomach flu… and so is the Metro’s Captain.

    Stranded while the rest of the team flies home, Shane thinks he is left to suffer alone—until help arrives from the place he least expects it.

    And to make matters worse, Hayden is starting to ask questions Shane really doesn’t want to answer.

    Absolute cinema 🤌🏻🤌🏻

    How to solve the greatest tragedy of modern love? Stomach flu. After the tuna melts Shane (and ALL of the Raiders) get sick with the flu and Hayden eventually figures it out. Cute, a pinch of angst, lots of feelings and a very sexy re-take at the couch scene.

    Loved this!!

    Summary

    When the unsentimental financial imperative of the NHL sees Shane traded to the Boston Raiders, he and Ilya are thrown into closer extended proximity than ever before. As they adjust to life as teammates, they are forced to contend with the nature of their relationship -and must answer for themselves: is it even a relationship at all?
    ____

    Sliding down the wall, Shane hunched over his untied sneakers, shoved on hastily when Coach had called him in for a meeting after morning skate.

    “Boston wanted you specifically. I’ve already spoken to their GM. You’re flying this evening or tomorrow morning: I’ll confirm once the paperwork clears.”

    “Mom,” Shane managed.

    “Oh sweetie. I know, okay. Those fuckers, how dare they do this! Two fucking cups! Now all of a sudden they decide they want a reset and you’re going to fund it.”

    Shane put his head between his knees and tried to breathe. God, Boston. They hated him there; it was so far away; he was fucking their captain.

    Read to ch. 14. Very very sweet, underlying angst, and lover boy Ilya.

    Shane gets traded to fund Montreals expansion and ends up in Boston where he stays with Ilya… they just fall into a relationship that never really ends. Supportive Boston!

    Summary

    “Am I a bad friend?”

    Hayden has always been the guy Shane joked with, the guy he trusted to feed him without mocking him, the guy he roomed with on the road, and Shane is the only man who has ever seen Hayden cry, and Hayden loves Shane. He fucking loves him. They are like brothers, and they have been for almost ten fucking years. He’s always been Shane’s guy, Shane’s best friend.

    Except all along, maybe that wasn’t true. Ilya Rozanov, apparently, had been the guy. Before Hayden had ever met Shane, Ilya Rozanov had been there. And Hayden had never even noticed.

    Shane is all over every inch of Hayden’s life. Hayden thought that was reciprocal.

    “You know I think about you all the time,
    And my deep misunderstanding of your life,
    And how bad it must have been for you back then,
    And how hard it was to keep it all inside.”

    Summary

    Ilya was used to hazing. He had been subjected to it, he had participated in it, and, as a captain, he had stood guard over the rookies and protected them from anything truly harmful. But if he had been asked, Ilya would have approved of this prank. He would have authorized it, given Cliff and Vicky his seal of approval, perhaps even helped orchestrate it.

    Any other day, Ilya might have been happy to play along.

    But, in perfect dramatic irony, it had not happened any other day. It had happened today. And, cherry on top, of course the rookie had to walk in when Shane was already freaking out about Ilya saying his name.

    +++

    A prank-gone-wrong leads to the Boston Bears finding out about Shane and Ilya’s relationship in 2016. The day Ilya first invited Shane into his house. Right after they say each other’s names for the first time. Fuck his life, honestly.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Literally everyone walks in on them. Ilya really needs to change the door code 😂

    Genuinely love this fic so much - definite re-read! The perfect panicked but brave Shane and bamboozled, protective but proud Ilya. Traumatised rookies abound.
