Summary
“So,” Ilya says, dragging the word out. He’s swiping at non-existent crumbs on the counter, avoiding his eyes. “You have dinner at parents on Christmas, yes?”
“Yeah.”
Ilya nods. “I can house-sit while you are away. Make place pretty, if you have decorations. Make it less boring.”
Shane’s eyebrows fly up. “What? You don’t want to come with?”
Finally, Ilya looks up at him. Hesitantly, he asks, “You want me to come with?”
Frowning, Shane says, “I– yeah. Yeah, of course. You think I invited you here just so you could spend Christmas alone?”
Looking away, Ilya shrugs. “I am intruder here, Hollander. You have family. I do not. Makes situation… difficult, maybe. You forget the world thinks we are rivals.”
“Not difficult,” Shane says immediately. “You want to come, you’re coming.”
Or: Ilya's in Montreal alone during the week leading up to the Winter Classic. Shane doesn't let him spend Christmas alone.

Summary
The Voyageurs ask Shane to join FanMail in order to foster a better connection with fans. Internet sleuths start to notice some interesting details in the background of Shane’s videos, and then the internet does...what the internet does.
Or Shane and Ilya are granted an opportunity to come out on their own terms. Sort of. And in they do it in a very Ilya way. (Surprisingly, it is Shane’s idea)

Summary
Every summer, they meet for the Friends Across the Barricades program. The children are not the only ones who learn a lesson in trust.
"She would have thought that nothing earthly could capture her attention after a three hours ride in a poorly ventilated van with a pack of male teenagers, but the Lord might have sent her a sign.
“To be honest, I expected you to be a man. Boys school and all.”
“Must have been a delightful surprise, then.”
That earned her another raise of eyebrows, but when the nun looked away, she was smiling to herself.
“You’re the one who’s called Michael,” she felt obliged to add, rather stupidly.
Sister Michael seemed to consider the remark for a moment.
“I am indeed. I suppose the fact I’m such a ray of sunshine is meant to compensate for all the other suckers’ faults.”- Language:
