Summary
Shane and Ilya talk summer, traditions, love and religion. Fluff ensues.
***
“In my worst times,” Ilya went on, voice quieter now, “After games I would go sit in church sometimes. Late, when no one was there. Just me and saints looking at me with these big eyes.” He huffed a breath at himself. “I did not know what to say, so I just… sat. Sometimes I would say, ‘Okay, if someone is up there, if there is anything, I need help. I need something that is not pain all the time.’” He looked at Shane then, eyes very green in the low light. “And then, some time later, there was you.”
Shane’s throat went tight. “You think… God sent you a horny Canadian hockey rival?”

Summary
Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.
It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.
(Sequel to “something you can fix,” set post-Heated Rivalry, pre-The Long Game)

Summary
Ilya doesn’t even realize when Arthur slips from his thoughts. There’s no sharp turn, no clear moment where the article stops being about a little boy who loves reptiles and starts being about the man lying beside him in bed. It just… happens. The way his mind always seems to find Shane eventually, like water finding its lowest point.

Summary
Casey, miraculously, laughed, tears freely running down his cheeks, but he was pretty sure he’d never been happier in his entire life. “Fucking loved you, growing up,” he said.
“You were right to. I am awesome.” Ilya’s famous crooked smile was bright across his face, and Casey sniffed away some of his embarrassing tears, smiling back. Ilya punched him gently on the shoulder. “You are good kid. You will be to many kids what I was to you.”
*
When eight year old Casey Hicks sees a cocky Russian on TV proclaim he's going to score 50 goals in his rookie season, he knows he has a favorite player for life. Twelve years later, Casey makes the NHL and finally gets the chance to meet him. And Casey's definitely, totally chill about it.

Summary
No matter how much he loved his husband, Shane had always wanted to be a star hockey player first and foremost, not a 'gay hockey player' defined first by his sexuality.
He had also made peace with what their marriage meant, and the challenges they faced in hockey because of it; he had found happiness in the bubble they had in Ottawa with the Centaurs.
That safe bubble burst one day with an unexpected call from Hockey Canada, and by the time it was all said and done, there was going to be a picture of Shane beside ‘gay icon’ in the urban dictionary.
