    Summary

    Shane Hollander is everything a team could want. He shows up early, stays late, and fixes mistakes before they ever become more then blips. By every metric he is the perfect player.

    Perfection, it turns out, is not the same thing as being okay.

    Summary

    "It had never really been in Ilya’s plans to start a Youtube channel for paranormal investigation..."

    Ilya Rozanov, the playboy darling of the oft-forgotten ECHL who never quite lived up to his full potential, spends the off-season hunting ghosts with his teammates Bood and Troy. When they dare to investigate the tragic ruins of NHL legend Shane Hollander's former cottage, they are expecting to be confronted by a cursed haunting, a vengeful demon, or at the very least... some entertaining Youtube-worthy content. What Ilya is not expecting, however, is to form an inexplicable bond with the ghost of a hot hockey player and discover that nothing (literally nothing at all) is quite as it seems.

    OR; Shane is a ghost, Ilya can see dead people, and it's entirely possible that they once knew each other in a past life.

    Summary

    “And you’re sure there’s nothing for you?” David says suddenly. “You’re not—you’re feeling okay? You’re not sick? Shane wouldn’t have any reason to think that you’re sick?”

    Ilya blinks and turns to him. “I am fine. Totally fine. Better than fine, even, before today.”

    “It’s just—Shane’s acting like you’re dying, Ilya.”

    “Not as far as I’m aware,” says Ilya. “And I do not think he would learn this before me.”

    The summer before Ilya joins the Centaurs, Shane wakes up nervous. It doesn't stop from there.

    Summary

    A Russian film plays in the background - crooked subtitles, Ilya translating, Shane pretending he’s watching. Somewhere between a thief-hero who can’t stop doing the right thing and the slow domestic work of sharing a kitchen, the future edges into the room. Then one offhand line changes the shape of everything, and they have to figure out what stays when the credits keep rolling.

And Ilya... well, Ilya is just playing along to keep the peace. Right? He doesn't need therapy. But if it helps his friend be less worried, so be it.

    OR

    Summary

    “We didn’t kiss.”

    Saying the words felt like a boulder had been lifted off his chest for a few blissful seconds before a whole mountain crashed down to take its place. What the fuck was he thinking? Saying something so pathetic, so needy, so utterly stupid over something so insignificant? Heat flooded his face, a different kind of shame, fresh and hot.

    (or, I was mad that Shane never got any reassurance or apology for the Vegas humiliation ritual and "we didn't even kiss")

    Summary

    It had taken a few years, a few discreet hotel meetups, for Shane to finally bring it up. "You know...I always thought you were just a tiny bit better than the other guys on the league...slurs are low hanging fruit, Rozanov. I thought you were more creative than that." It didn't bother Shane. Not really. He was just sick of it, and, after losing to Boston, he wasn't in the mood to be called anything remotely effeminate.

    or

    Shane confronts Ilya over his use of terms like pretty boy and princess. Shane discovers something about himself he long thought was buried. ("Slur" is a term used very loosely in this fic; almost nonexistent. I used it as a term to springboard a miscommunication between Shane and Ilya).

    Summary

    "I like girls," Rozanov tells him, tuna melt still half-eaten in his hands.

    So, what they have isn’t as serious as Shane thought. That's okay. He can get over it. He can. He just… needs to get it together, first.

    Summary

    Ilya huffed. He had a decision to make.

    “Shane,” Ilya said. He set his eyes on the shiny shoes poking out beneath Shane’s death grip. “Would you like me or Rose Landry?” He braced himself for the answer, for Shane to narrow his eyes, spit in his face, and leave him in the cold.

    Instead, a gentle hand landed on Ilya’s elbow.

    Or

    Ilya spots Shane in the club. Shane spots Ilya. *Big feelings ensue.

    Summary

    He hit the green button and tucked the phone between his shoulder and his ear, trying to balance the plant. “Did you find your curdled cheese?” he asked by way of a greeting.

    “Ilya,” Shane said, and Ilya’s spine stiffened. Shane’s voice was tight and slightly muffled. “Can you guys come to the entrance?”

    Ilya set down the plant on the ground with a thunk. Yuna turned to look at him. Her nose flared at the sour scent of worry coming off of him.

    “What happened?” Ilya growled. Something was wrong with his omega. He could feel it in his bones.

    “What’s wrong?” Yuna snapped, setting down her bags, freeing her hands.

    “We’re OK,” Shane said, trying and failing to sound soothing. “There was a fight, but we’re OK.”

    Summary

    Ilya's hand continues its path up and down Shane's back, and Shane thinks again about how love is sometimes just this: a palm on the spine, moving in circles, waiting for you to come back to yourself. There is no promise of saving you—Ilya cannot save him, they both know this and are alright with it in their own ways—but there is a vow of staying, lingering in order to witness. Touching the bruise so that its pain triggers the memory that you are allowed to be touched.

    Outside, the snow continues its work of erasure. Inside, Shane's breathing begins to even out, every limb recalling how to be a man at rest rather than an animal fawning and freezing. The trembling subsides, wave by wave, as if Ilya's hand is smoothing it out of him.

    "Sleep, зайчик," Ilya says softly, his free hand coming to rest in Shane's hair. "I have you."

    This is not true, Shane thinks, and it is also the only true thing.

     

    recovery, shane learns, is not a straight line. to begin to understand something, you must first name it.
