    Shane, however, has other ideas.

    (AKA Ilya gets jealous of a plant.)

    Summary

    Not proud of it, but man enough to admit it: Ilya Rozanov loves a bit of locker room gossip.

    That is, until he discovers that his overly disciplined, no-nonsense hockey captain has a crush on him—and can’t seem to think about anything else.

    NHL Rumor Report @NHLrumor

    Shane Hollander clipped by a reporter's hot mic during 2nd intermission against Ottawa saying "they're fucking awful." A year later, seems like Hollander still thinks Rozanov's move to the Centaurs is insane just like the rest of the world.

    or everyone thinks shane hates ilya and the centaurs. this is not the case

    Summary

    Shane says, “You don’t wanna go raw?”

    Ilya drops the box of condoms. Looks at Shane. Shane looks back.

    “What?”

    “Do you want me to commit a felony?”

    “I think public indecency is usually a misdemeanor.”

    Ilya tries to bite him through his shirt.

    “Ow, ow, Ilya, stop that-”

    Ilya and Shane are thirty-five, married, and living their best happily ever after—until the plane they're in falls out of the sky and they wake up back in 2009. Of course they fuck about it.

    Summary

    Everyone in the Metros' locker room knew to avoid raunchy talk with uptight Shane Hollander. But now that he's out and gay married to Ilya Rozanov, surely that can change?

    OR:

    Hayden has a vision in which he has inducted Shane into the Metros’ casual sex chats and opened Shane’s eyes to all the fun tricks that girls and maybe also guys can enjoy in bed. And finally Rozanov is coming to Hayden, his eyes full of gratitude, and saying, “Hayden, my friend, thank you! Our mutually beloved Shane, who I love very dearly for his personality and impeccable stick handling, has always been a little shy in bed. But now! With your encouragement!” The Rozanov of Hayden’s ecstatic vision puts a disbelieving hand to his own chest. “Everything between us is better. I no longer miss the casual sex I frequently had with every single man and woman in the greater Boston metro area. Even with my questionable character, I am never tempted to cheat! So, do you and the family want to come to the cottage with us for a full week this summer?”

    Why yes, Hayden thinks, smiling beatifically at his own imagined scenario. He would love to go to the cottage for a full week to hang out with his best friend and enjoy built-in childcare.
