Summary
Something both Shane and Ilya understood about hockey, that many other players didn’t, was that what separated good players from the greats was the ability to plan and execute psychological warfare.
They went about it in different ways but it didn’t change the outcome.

Summary

Being the problem solver that he is, he reckons this can be fixed by gaining more experience - to the utmost displeasure of one Ilya Rozanov.

Summary
In another timeline, Shane and Ilya hook up in room 1410, nothing goes wrong, and everything plays out exactly as we know it.
In this one, Yuna Hollander walks in before Ilya can leave—and the seven-year situationship never gets the chance to start. Instead, they have the conversation they spent years avoiding in canon—and decide to actually try.
With no secret left to fester, Shane and Ilya start dating in 2010. With better support, they make better decisions: their rivalry fizzles out, replaced by a beloved “bromance,” and, after gay marriage is legalized in 2015, they come out to the NHL and the world.
No one believes them.
Or: Somehow, despite Shane and Ilya being out for two years, Scott Hunter is still considered the first openly gay player in the NHL, much to Ilya’s absolute, enduring frustration.

Summary
Lily is calling Shane for the first time ever, and it's in the middle of a rowdy locker room, and they haven't spoken in two months since the tuna melt and first names situation. Lily called twice before Shane was sent to press following a win. There he is asked about the leaked explicit photographs between himself and rival, Ilya Rozanov.
Ilya immediately flies to Montreal to face his feelings for Shane, no longer needing to hide in shadows as their lives become more public than ever. Russia cancels Ilya's passport and he becomes stuck in Canada, forcing both Shane and Ilya into decisions they were barely ready to make.
Ilya and Shane come to a head with their public personas as their true selves take shape for everyone to see. What they didn't know was how thrilling and freeing it would be to let go of everything that held them at arms length from the other, embracing the versions of themselves they see in each other instead of what prying public eyes decide to make of them.
Could it be possible to lose everything that defined them as rivals but gain something so much more in the love they hold each other?

Summary
Cliff would probably remember if he was there when Ilya met a woman so earth-shattering that he would chase after her for nearly a decade. Probably. Cliff thinks he would probably notice something as life-altering as a meeting like that. Who on earth is this woman and how did they find each other? Did Cliff watch Ilya’s life change before his eyes and not even realize what was happening?
In the fall of 2017, Cliff Marlow notices evidence of Jane all over Ilya’s apartment. He decides to investigate.
