    Summary

    “But everything looks okay?” Shane asked, squeezing Ilya’s hand a little. “Healthy?”

    “Oh yes,” the doctor said before pointing to another spot on the screen. “And you see this one here? That’s another gestational sac. Both strong and healthy.”

    Ilya and Shane stared at the screen.

    “Um… both?” Shane finally said.

     

    Ilya and Shane are enjoying married life in Ottawa and playing for the same team. Ilya gets the shock of his life one afternoon in the form of a positive pregnancy test.

    And the surprises don’t end there.

    Summary

    A collection of small, mostly ridiculous snapshots from Shane and Ilya’s life together. These are the boringly domestic adventures: grocery runs that turn competitive, chores that somehow become a battle of wills, and the quiet, everyday moments that happen after the games are over.

    Because even when the rivalry cools down, Shane and Ilya still manage to turn the most ordinary parts of life, shopping trips, cooking, and arguing over household decisions, into something chaotic, affectionate, and very them.

    Just two professional hockey players trying (and occasionally failing) to be normal about domestic life.

    Summary

    Shane could hear the crowd, loud as always in their home barn. It felt electric tonight. He didn't usually let the emotions of the occasion affect him, but after 22 years in the MLH, having accomplished everything he could do as a professional, tonight’s send-off was too much to push all the way down into that small compartment where he could hide all he felt.

    But Ilya–Shane felt physical pain in his chest every time he allowed himself to think his name. Their careers still forever tied together until Ilya’s retirement a few years ago. In the quietest of times, Shane could admit he shouldn’t have felt lonely at the top because Ilya was always right there with him. Sometimes he took solace in that, sometimes it brought pain so blinding he couldn’t breathe.

    or

    Shane Hollander retires from the MLH a few seasons after Ilya. They haven't actually spoken since the day Shane left in Boston. When Ilya is invited to participate in Shane's retirement ceremony, will they take the opportunity to confront the feelings they have long buried but kept sacred or are they still just two stars passing in the night?

    Summary

    And of course, the test came back that Ilya Rozanov was a carrier. He had a uterus, and from the way he was describing the nights events, that uterus had a guest it was trying to make leave. An ultrasound confirmed that fear.

    Ilya was in labor. Ilya also had a panic attack. It’s important to know that those things were directly connected.
