Summary
“What do you need?” he asks, because he doesn’t know what else to do. “Tell me what to do. I got you, brother.”
Shane swallows hard. His chest feels like it’s collapsing inward.
“Call Ilya?” he manages, voice thin. “Please?”
(ie. set during the long game - shane has a panic attack after a game and ilya helps him)

Summary
“What do we do?” Shane mumbled, the words spoken into his lap, “They’ll terminate my contract, they won’t let me play again,”
Regardless of what he said, the footage remained, living behind his eyes— a relentless, looping image that haunted his peripheral vision. It haunted him like a bad replay on arena screens; blown up, pixelated, and stripped of all context.
The original, quiet intimacy was gone, replaced by a voyeuristic nightmare, where every single frame flattened something sacred into something cheap and consumable.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
What if Shane hadn't been seriously hurt in that game against Boston and Ilya had ended things? What if 3 years later, Vegas footage was leaked?

Summary
His next thought was irrational. Stupid, really. But maybe… maybe it was alright if he took just one. A real picture. Besides, no one would ever see it but him, and Shane would never have to know. Not if Ilya never told him about it.
Knowing he can't have Shane the way he wants, Ilya keeps a secret picture of him, soundly asleep in Ilya’s bed after a hookup.

Summary
Shane rested his forehead against Ilya’s, closing his eyes. “I’m gonna ride you, is that okay?”
Ilya nipped at his bottom lip. “I don’t know, let me think. This is same as asking me, is Shane Hollander the best hockey player in the world? Obviously yes.”
And oh, the honest praise was all worth it for the private smile that lit up Shane’s face right then. He kissed Ilya once, slow and sweet. “Shut up,” he murmured, smiling into it. “You’re an asshole.”
Ilya was a little achy with how happy he was, such a wild contrast to his overwhelming grief only moments ago. “I finally admit you are better than me, and now I am an asshole? I think not, Hollander.” He gripped Shane’s hips and flipped them over, the sound of Shane’s breathy laughter while Ilya kissed him into the mattress like medicine for his soul.
Episode 5 in depth: the beach, the all-star game, and if Shane and Ilya made love in that hotel room before confessing their love.
