    Summary

    Ilya had been invited over alone to the Hollander’s cottage. It was nerve-racking to be alone with her. But Yuna was his agent. It was her literal job to be nice to him.

    Handing over a cup of coffee, she said, “Shane bans work talk from his cottage.”

    She settled onto the couch. She had a notepad along with her coffee. It made him think of his therapist back in Boston, reminded him that he would need to find one.

    She explained, “You boys have so little time off. But this year is a little weird because I’m stepping into the role of your manager. I gotta get things going for your sponsor deals.”

    The guys at the awards had joked that, with Yuna, he would get sponsors, but… “My old manager said no one likes a bad boy, and I was unmarketable. You really think I can get sponsors?”

    “No one likes a real bad boy. You chirp and have swagger. You don’t get arrested for drunk driving or hitting your wife. Kids’ brands love a squeaky-clean smile. But, what’s your favorite energy drink?”

    Ilya spends time with Yuna alone for the after moving to Canada. She takes over his portfolio. Some of his preferences surprise her.

    Summary

    “What is there to talk about?”

    “What’s there to talk about?!” Hollander scoffed, shaking his head. “You’re playing for my fucking team!”

    “I know.”

    “Why did you have to go and get traded?! You realise we’re going to have to see each other every day from now on, and play together, and-”

    “Yes,” Ilya interrupted. He didn’t want to know how long Hollander’s list was. “I know.”

    Hollander took a deep breath. “Okay, listen,” he said. “Just so we’re clear - we don’t know each other outside of playing against each other, right?”

    “Right.”

    “And we can’t- can’t hook up anymore.”

    ~

    OR: Ilya gets traded to Montreal in October 2014. He's lonely, and angry, and he misses Boston. He doesn't know if it helps that Hollander is there or not.

    Summary

    Ilya hadn’t known the video existed. If he had known, he would have paid someone to have it destroyed. Would have paid someone to murder Kuznetsov, maybe, just for redundancy's sake. But it was peak stupidity, to keep evidence of your homosexual perversion around in a country where that crime could get you sent to jail for several decades, and Ilya hadn’t thought that Kuznetsov would be that dumb.

    Now here Ilya was, watching a video of his fourteen-year-old self on Twitter getting fucked by his former hockey coach.

    So. There go the plans for the rest of his life.

    -

    Or: in 2018, during Ilya's last year with the Raiders, an old video is leaked on Twitter. Ilya reacts, or overreacts. Shane does, too.

    Summary

    Flowers. There were goddamn flowers—a whole bouquet of lillies—sticking out of Shane’s locker for the whole team to see.

    “Hollander, you fucking beauty!” Mitty whooped. Someone slapped him on the back. A chorus of hoots and wolf whistles filled the room as everyone took turns peering over shoulders to get a better look.

    Hayden turned to him, wide-eyed and a little bewildered. “You and Lily are that serious, man?”

    Shane opened his mouth to reply, but before he could find the words, J.J. cleared his throat exaggeratedly, readying to read something, and oh god, was that a note he’d just pulled out of Shane’s locker?

    He was going to kill Ilya, seriously.

    Ilya decides to surprise Shane with a bouquet after their game against each other, posing as Lily.

    Summary

    “I… am not sure I know what this means,” Ilya says after a minute of silence. “It is… terminal?”

    Shane laughs before he can stop himself, “Existence is terminal, sure, but no, autism is not actively killing me.” Physically, anyways. Emotionally is a different story.
