    Summary

    an opposing player flirts with shane during a game and ilya has a totally normal level headed reaction when he plays against the man the following week

    -----
    “Weird stuff to be honest, kept calling me ‘pretty boy’ which like whatever I get that a lot,” shuffling sounds came through the phone, and Ilya knew Shane was putting his bag down and unpacking his stuff from his game, he was so predictable. “But he really hammed it up, like complimenting me? Like, I know it was supposed to piss me off, but it just felt strange.”
    Ilya sat up and put the phone directly to his ear, he felt anger brewing under his skin. He had a theory and needed to investigate it without Shane realizing anything.

    Summary

    Ilya was good at noticing things about people, and he was good at understanding them. Shane was not. That was okay. Shane had developed his own way of getting to know Ilya. It involved a lot of inane questions and, more importantly, no longer involved condoms.

    Summary

    She hauls him back to his place – a gorgeous condo that overlooks Montreal and is 70% glass. All the reflecting, soft light makes her dress look like liquid silver. She lets it drop onto the stairs behind her.

    As she turns—

    She sees his reflection. She sees the face she knows she was never, ever meant to see. His heart isn’t in this. But then he’s glancing up at her, some stranger to a smile on his face, and she knows something she was never, ever meant to know: he will make himself go through with this. He’s going to come up the stairs—he’s already coming up the stairs.

    Fuck. She misread this entirely.

    Summary

    Shane loves everything about being with Ilya, except for the fact that he has to keep it a secret. It’s not that he wants to tell the public - at least not for a long time, maybe not until they’re retired. He values both of their careers too much for that. But he does really want to be able to share their joy with the people closest to them.

    Summary

    вечнозеленый
    (vechnozelenyy: evergreen)

    After meeting eyes at the club, Ilya and Shane have to cut the shit and just say the words they're scared of saying. An alternate timeline for the two of them to make or break, diverging from after episode 4 of the first season, serving as a sort of parallel fix-it to the series.

    Told in 7 parts with varying perspectives, the installments work as stand-alone pieces but it is encouraged that the series be read in the order it was posted, easily moving between both series with end-note navigation. It is decidedly happy ending, a scrapbook of snapshots from Shane and Ilya's life finally being as close to together as they can manage and carving out some semblance of a shared future over a roughly six-year timeline.
