    Summary

    Shane decided it was time to call in reinforcements. Ilya’s depression wasn’t a secret anymore. It had taken time but slowly he opened up to the team, and eventually the public, about his mental health struggles. It was important to him to fight the stigma, to show that everyone needed help sometimes, to talk openly about going to therapy and taking medications. Shane was so proud of him. It was a long road to get where they were, both Ilya and Shane struggled, but they were doing their best. They were on a team that supported them unconditionally and loved each other like family.

    That’s why he called Harris.

    Or: Shane is away in the States to do brand shoots and it happens to coincide with the worst depressive episode has had in years. Thousands on miles away and feeling powerless, Shane does the only thing he can think of: call the Centaurs to check on Ilya. What follows is a week of Shane and Ilya's front door revolving as the Cens come through in the only way they know how; with unconditional love and support.

    Summary

    Marleau has no clue how to help Roz, but when he sees him struggling after his Montreal girl dumps him, he knows he’s going to have to figure it out. Whether Roz wants him to or not.

    ~

    Ilya very much does not want to be helped right now, but thankfully for Ilya, Cliff is not asking his opinion on the matter.

    Summary

    Everybody thinks hockey players are stupid. Having an accent certainly doesn’t help.

    Ilya Rozanov never bothered correcting people, but it wasn’t his job to fit their expectations either.
    He wasn’t hiding it, it just wasn’t important, and he wasn’t the type to show off (oh, Shane would laugh at that, but for this specific aspect it was true).

    It just never came up. Until it did.

    Summary

    “Oh, fuck you. Sorry I still want to win cups instead of smoking weed with my teammates between losses,” Shane argued.

    The words seemed to drain the rest of the fight out of Ilya. He didn’t know what he was doing anymore, what they were fighting about anymore. All he knew was that it felt like the fears he’d spent the last few months convincing himself were unfounded were unfolding in front of him in real time.

    OR

    A look at how Ilya struggled with his move to Ottawa and an alternate ending to the Boxing Day fight.
