    Summary

    “Olesya.”
    “Oh-lee-syah,” Shane repeated slowly, making sure he pronounced it right. “What… what are you going to do?”
    “I don’t know,” Ilya said, resting his head in his hand. “I don’t fucking know.”
    Shane’s voice was steady. “What can I do?”
    How long had it been since someone offered to help Ilya? He took care of his family, carried his brother’s financial burdens, tended his own injuries, paid his way through life without aid. The question, softly spoken and rich with genuine intent, was enough to bring tears to his eyes. Could he really trust it? Could he ask someone for help?
    For once, he wanted to try.

    OR: Ilya is left with sudden custody of Alexei's daughter and calls Shane to help.

    (Set just before the cottage.)

    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.

    Summary

    Shane made it back to the living room right as he clicked on Ilya’s contact, placing the phone against his ear and practically collapsing back onto the couch as the line rang.

    “Come on, come on, pick up, pick up, pick up,” he begged under his breath.

    Hayden watched him with silent concern.

    There was a beep over the phone, “Hi, this is Ilya; I will never listen to your voicemail.”

    Shane hung up and checked the time. It was barely early evening in Moscow; Ilya should’ve answered.

    He hit the call button again. This time, the beep was practically immediate.

    “Hi, this is Ilya-”

    He called again.

    “Hi, this is-”

    Shane hung up and buried his head in his hands. This couldn’t be happening.

    or

    Ilya is in Russia, instead of in bed next to Shane, when the FanMail video makes it to Twitter. The days that follow are filled with waiting, fear, running, and hope as both of them fight different battles, but with the same goal in mind: to be able to keep loving each other for years to come.

    Summary

    Nothing feels right or good. Not the weight of his pads or the glide of his skates over fresh ice. Not the crispness of the rink air or the roar of a sold out Montreal crowd. Not his teammates’ triumphant shouts when he sinks a goal or cool water in his throat after a hard workout or well wishing texts from his parents before every game. It’s all just… faded.

    Grey.

    Empty.

    Shane doesn’t know how to bring color back into his life. Not when he leeched it out himself with every step he took away from the only person who has ever truly, honestly seen him.

    • • • • •

    After Shane walks away, his life falls apart one piece at a time.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander had a plan. It was a good plan, just as every other plan he’d ever made was a good plan. Then he watched a video of a burning plane carrying the love of his life and it became the only plan he’d ever changed.

    or...

    Shane goes to Tampa. The next morning, Troy Barrett receives a text from Ilya:

    “Bringing boyfriend to breakfast. Tell team to be not weird.”

    The Centaurs are, unsurprisingly, weird about it but become the best support system they could ask for as Shane and Ilya navigate the choice to fully begin their lives together and love each other out loud.

    Summary

    Shane’s ready to finally put his foot down and call an end to the years-long situation he’s found himself with Ilya Rozanov.

    It’s not fair to Ilya, for Shane to harbour feelings for him in secret, to want more than what’s being willingly offered.

    And it’s not fair to Shane either, to have these precious moments with the man he wants so much more from, knowing that at the end of the night, he’ll be returning to his hotel room alone, only the occasional text to tide him over until the next time they meet.

    But fate has other plans in mind, and Shane has to decide for himself whether he’s willing to fight for what he wants.

    Summary

    “It’s not something we’ve discussed too much,” Shane admits reluctantly. “I mean, I think we talked about it once or twice, after being around Hayden’s kids. But…I was afraid…I don’t know if you want…” His sentence falters and he presses a hand to his stomach, inhaling slowly like he’s trying to soothe more nausea.

    It takes Ilya’s brain a few moments to process, to catch up, to piece together this half-filled puzzle Shane’s laying out for him.

    “We talked about having babies,” Ilya supplies, arching an eyebrow, “are you trying to say we are…having a baby?”

    Shane sucks in another slow, controlled breath. “Um, yeah. That’s what I’m trying to say.”

    “You are pregnant?”

    Wincing, the shorter man nods. “Mhm.”

    Summary

    “Mmnnh, no, come back. This is big deal. First time Shane Hollander has ever thrown punches. First time Shane Hollander has been punched. Everyone is talking about it.”

    “I punched Peterson because he slammed you.”

    It should have been satisfying watching the way shock immediately blushed over Ilya’s face, but all Shane could feel was embarrassment for even admitting it.

    “He was… I mean… He was all over you. And it– I don’t know, I was just so angry that he was touching you that I— I don’t know. I just saw red and, I don’t even remember all of it.”

    Shane felt like he was losing himself. He knew he was more emotional these past few weeks, a swirling mess of feelings and breaking his diet and lazying around more, but he had chalked most of it up to Ilya’s influence.

    or, Shane Hollander is pregnant, and doesn't know it yet, and is increasingly confused why he's feeling so crazy lately. Acting so strange. Crying so much. So horny.

    Summary

    Of all the worst times to get sick, the last bit of summer downtime before training camp could have been the best. Or the worst.

    The thing was, summer downtime left too much time to think, and thinking was all Shane could do. Think and think and think on the most cutting words Rozanov had ever spat in his face. After the Olympic Games ended. After being ignored for half the summer. After a sort-of-apology he probably shouldn’t have accepted, and an invitation he definitely should have turned down.

    Overthinking aside, the one thing Shane had *not* managed to overthink was the quality of the food in his refrigerator, because it seemed to slowly be souring his stomach to even the thought of food.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has built his life around discipline, legacy, and winning—on the ice and off it. A secret relationship with his rival, Ilya Rozanov, was never meant to become more than stolen nights and unspoken promises. It was never meant to leave Shane staring at a positive pregnancy test in a hotel bathroom.

    When Ilya chooses to end things for what he believes is the greater good, Shane is left carrying a secret that could change everything, and a love that refuses to die quietly. As the season presses on and the ice becomes the only place they’re allowed to meet, both men must live with the cost of a decision made in grief, fear, and love.

    Some endings are clean. This one is anything but.

    Summary

    “Mr. Hollander, what’s your designation?” One of the doctors, a beta woman with kind eyes, asks, typing away at a nearby computer.

    “He’s an omega,” Ilya replies for him, because at the moment, all Shane can say is “ow.”

    “Any chance he’s pregnant?”

    “Maybe? He’s on suppressants.”

    Or Shane goes into labor at the cottage, which would be fine, if he’d known he was pregnant.

    Summary

    He told Mikey he wouldn't touch another pill for as long as he lived, something he's sure the guy has heard from every passing person who's entered inpatient, sat in those hard unforgiving metal chairs. They probably stopped keeping a tally of how many showed back up again with the same solemn promise as if they forgot they already broke it the first time.

    Addiction is a constant fight, where the opponent learns how to lose more than they'll ever win. Relapse expected, it's just how it goes.

    Frank just has a devastating reason to be so terribly certain he won't.

    In the aftermath of a harsh sober reality, Dr. Frank Langdon returns to The Pitt to face whatever mess he left behind while trying not to fray apart at the seams.

    Summary

    After a disastrous final shift on July 4, Robby leaves for his sabbatical.

    Eight days later, somewhere in the Badlands, he awakens to a dozen missed calls and messages from back home. Something terrible has happened. Frank Langdon has been shot, and he might not make it.

    Consumed by worry and by guilt, Robby returns to Pittsburgh, the memory of his last, terrible conversation with Frank playing on a loop in his head.

    He hopes it is not too late to make amends of his own.

    “Is he dead?” Robby manages to rasp out. His body is curling in on itself. He can feel himself unravelling. It’s too familiar. It’s all too familiar. This can’t be happening. “Is Frank fucking dead, Dana?”
