    Summary

    Shane Hollander was not a boring person. He knew this at heart. He had his own private world of intricate thoughts and was a man of discipline, with a dry wit and a capacity for passion and love that had once felt bottomless. But he had never ever considered his life dull. That was until he started seeing himself through Ilya Rozanov’s eyes.
    -
    Or: years after him and Ilya got together, Shane starts to resent the 'boring' banter.

    Summary

    “I was thinking… Would you like to dance? With me?” The man offered his hand as if there was even the slightest possibility that Shane would agree.

    He had a fucking husband – couldn’t he see it? It was always so obvious, with Ilya glaring at everyone who even dared to touch Shane and showing off not only his ring but also Shane, as if he was his most precious possession. They belonged together and it was ridiculous for anyone to have a nerve to even ask for a dance. It was only a matter of time before Ilya made his life a living hell, claming Shane in every way possible and maybe more, and then–

    Except the man was still looking at him, expextantly, and Ilya wasn’t doing any of the things he should.

     

     

    Or: Taking Wyatt's advice, Ilya tries to stop being 'too much' for his husband. For Shane, it is an obvious sign of upcomming divorce

    (Or: 5 times that Ilya thought he was doing good by distancing himself from his husband and one time Shane proved him wrong)

    Summary

    What did he think was going to happen?

    Of course Ilya wasn't going to choose him.

    And now, he stood in their kitchen like a stranger, having to pretend be okay with the fact that Ilya went out and hooked up with Svetlana on a night meant to celebrate hockey's greatest. A party he wasn't even invited to as a captain himself.

    What a fucking joke.

    He spent the entire day coming up with meticulous loopholes and justifications for something that was actually quite simple—nobody remembered. Shane was wholeheartedly forgotten and he was too proud, or maybe dense, to figure it out himself.

    Or, the one where Ilya forgets Shane’s birthday. Coping ensues.

    Summary

    Based on a tumblr post from @notahungrywish, ending with:

    Just Shane casually assuming he'll always have to share and never be enough for Ilya and Ilya horrified to realize just how resigned Shane is to assuming Ilya will never be satisfied with him the way Shane is with Ilya.

    Summary

    “I’m putting in a transfer request to Carleton this afternoon.”

    Ilya gets off his bike and wraps his sweaty arms around Shane’s sweaty shoulders, presses their sweaty heads together and holds him tight. “Nooo, Hollander, you cannot leave me. Who will put Barrett and Marly in time out when they fuck up too many shots in a row?”

    “I’m sure Bood will do it. He loves bossing people around.”

    Bood stands up straight and salutes his captains. “I take the title with great honor. Enjoy the Ravens, Hollander—your legacy of being a chaste Victorian debutante will be remembered fondly but not carried on.”

    This snaps that last thread of Shane’s refined patience. “I can pick up girls! I have no problem getting numbers and calling them and talking!”

    Hazy smirks. “Innocent until proven guilty.”

    “I can pick people up,” Shane says again, moving off his bike and out of Ilya’s sweaty embrace. “And I don’t have to do it by concocting schemes or stripping on top of the LAX bros’ coffee table.”

    Or, after some team chirping at Shane's expense, Ilya accidentally interrupts a few of his potential dating prospects and then keeps on doing it less than accidentally
