    Summary

    Through the fog, he can see Ilya’s lips moving, but all he can hear is “sex with other men” on repeat over and over and over in his head. Ilya’s lips stop moving and form a concerned pout. The silence fills the room, stark and vast. He feels so far away from Ilya, like there’s a chasm between them now.

    “What?” he croaks. His heart is racing now and his body has gone cold, but he can feel beads of sweat starting to form everywhere. His stomach’s churning. He’s going to be sick. His legs feel numb, the tingling sensation slowly making its way up his body. He uses all his strength to focus on what Ilya is saying.

    “We spend many months on the road. It is a long time to go without…” Ilya trails off, waving his hand vaguely, letting Shane fill in the blanks. “If you want to sleep with other men when we are apart, I understand.”

    A wave of nausea hits him and he has to clutch at his stomach to dull the sensation. He doesn’t understand what's happening.

    He knew this conversation would be serious as soon as he sat down. He thought maybe someone had found out about him or them. He had been preparing to go into crisis mode. He supposes this still qualifies as one.

    Summary

    Uploaded to one of the biggest sports broadcasts in the entire industry, the Metro's are blindsided when texts between Shane and Rozanov are leaked one afternoon. They're even more surprised to find how many they have, how far back they span, and just how intimate they are.

    ---

    “You know what I’m thinking about?” JJ asked with no specific person in mind.

    “Please don’t say Ilya’s thighs,” Hayden pleaded, pinching the bridge of his nose.

    “First of all, ew, no,” he replied instantly. “Second of all, don’t call him Ilya, it’s weird.”

    “It’s his name!” Hayden retorted, defensively. “We should get used to using it considering he and Shane are…you know.”

    Sleeping together sounded crass, but dating seemed too romantic, too. Not that there hadn’t been some pretty romantic texts to sort through. He couldn’t really figure out what the word that felt best was, or if there even was one.

    Summary

    “Can’t hang out tonight, Hayd. I have plans.”

    “Bullshit,” Hayden responds. “You never have plans.”

    Objectively, this used to be true. Nowadays Shane has many, many plans, between his nightly plans to look at Ilya’s penis through Skype and his various long-term plans laid out helpfully in his notebook, Canva (For Ilya’s sake. He is a visual learner), and more recently, Excel. Shane loves that excel sheet. He’s colour coded it.

     

    In 2017, Shane Hollander spirals and proposes to his boyfriend of 4 days (or 7 years, or 9 years, or not his boyfriend at all, depending on how you look at it), which leads to a lot of plans, weird theories in the Montreal Voyageur locker room, some Twitter drama, and Ilya Rozanov entering his WAG era.

    Summary

    How did he let this happen?

    Shane's not sure.

    One moment, he was on the gym floor not staring at Rozanov's gorgeous sweaty body. Then Shane was standing up, but his legs were weak for some god forsaken reason and Rozanov was there, just an arm around his waist to keep him upright, and now...

    Well.

    Now Shane's on his knees on the floor of Ilya Rozanov's shower.

     

    Or

    Heated Rivalry, but the boys are forced to have an honest conversation around 8 years earlier than they do in canon.

    Summary

    Shane can’t look at him. He can’t really look at anyone but he manages to lift his head and stare right back into Troy’s glistening eyes.

    “I never had that advantage, Troy. I never got to take it out on anyone, for any of it. All the times I got on that ice to play some hockey and some… fuckwit idiot like Kent, or whoever was calling me slurs— whether they were gay ones or racist ones… I couldn’t just hurl them back and call it a day like you did.”

    He swallows hard. He thinks he might be sick a little bit in his mouth.

    “You know how fucking lucky you are? To have gotten away with it? They love you, Barrett. This team loves you! You’re fucking celebrated because you overcame this big, terrible thing but for me it’s—”

    He thinks about his mom in that very split second. His beautiful, wonderful mom who’d coached him his entire life on how to be polite, how to be well behaved. How to answer to teachers the right way, to coaches, to cops to the press to the general public to his fucking teammates—

    He looks away. The fight suddenly drains right out of him and he goes back to his bag.

    or: shane decides to confront troy if no one else will
