    Summary

    “The twins are having some big feelings about being disappointed,” Jackie explained. “We tried to get tickets for Taylor Swift in Toronto next year. But Ticketmaster was… Ticketmaster.”

    “Ah,” Shane said, wincing in immediate sympathy. “Bummer. Aren’t there resale ones, though?”

    Hayden dropped onto the opposite end of the sectional with a beer in hand and snorted.
    “Yeah, for like, the price of a small car. I am not paying that much for a concert.”

    “Why not?” Ilya drawled, turning his head toward Hayden. “You do not have money for resale?”

    Hayden didn’t even look at him. “I have money. I just also have sense.”

    “Ah.” Ilya nodded thoughtfully. “So Montreal paid you so little you must budget carefully. Makes sense. Fifteenth best player on team, yes?”

    “Hey,” Shane said. “Maybe don’t start a fist fight in our living room.”

    Ilya looked up at him, entirely unrepentant.

    “I am helping,” he said. “He says he cannot afford tickets. I am investigating.”

    Hayden scoffed. “You wanna help? You buy them, then.”

    “Okay.” Ilya reached for his phone. “Done."

    Summary

    Ilya still loved games in New York, even now, many years into his career and married life and often traveling with a toddler. Hunter had retired last year which made it a little less fun, though that was something that Ilya would never admit unless it was tortured out of him.

    They didn’t always take Zora on away games but she always came with them to New York. It was a fairly easy trip and there were two other specific reasons that Ilya didn’t care to discuss.

    Or Ilya and Shane’s daughter has a clear favorite hockey uncle, much to Ilya’s chagrin

    Summary

    Ilya has had plenty of sex. That's no secret to anyone. He had long since confessed to Shane that sex with him was always special and different, and that he's never felt like that with anyone else, but the self doubt that lives in Shane's mind had told him that you can never be too sure.

    But he can be sure of this: Shane Hollander is the only person on earth who has ever fingered Ilya Rozanov. They had had the conversation when Ilya first asked to try bottoming. He had never trusted anyone to see him like this. He didn't want to feel vulnerable. But Shane is different, he had said. He knows Shane will take care of him.

    (aka: hollanov switch for the first time and its very sweet and sappy)
