    Summary

    “Go get laid, dude.” Hayden had snickered at him while they sat at the bar in the Hotel. The others had laughed at the innocent joke while Shane's face felt like it would explode any second.

    And maybe it wouldn’t hurt to have someone to talk to about something else for once. Maybe his obsession with hockey wasn't that healthy after all.

    So Shane did the one thing that made the most sense: downloading the first “dating app” that popped up in the App Store to try to meet new people. Preferably people who don’t know who he is.

    Or

    Shane downloads a dating app and out of every possible person, he matches with none other than Ilya Rozanov.
    But neither know who the other person is

    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

    Anyway, Shane didn't remember exactly what was in the folder ... But he knew they were all good shots of him.

    He hastily clicked open the folder, his eyes barely glancing through the dozen or so shots there, vaguely registering a picture with a sunset background from his condo balcony, something of him laughing, a picture of him working at his laptop with his glasses on...

    The director called him again, and he shook his head, the photos blurring. Whatever. It would have to do.

    He clicked "select all," then the messages icon, then Rozanov's name. Hit send.

    ----

    Or: When never-hooked-up Shane and Ilya have to collaborate on a league charity project, Shane accidentally sends Ilya a nude.
