Summary
They’d agreed on a plan. It was cautious. Designed to keep them safe. Laying the foundation for a future after hockey. It didn’t include Shane going nuclear one fucking day into pre-season, blowing up his entire life on something he should’ve expected to happen if he was being honest with himself.
Or, when the long game falls apart, Shane and Ilya need a new plan. (Or or, from the ten year plan to the one week speed-run.)

Summary
Then. After the face off, after he's hit from behind, sliding across the ice, an explosion of pain and confusion. Once everything goes dark and confused, he's there, too. Il y a Ilya, il y a aucunne secondes. Il n'y a pas jamais qu'Ilya.
There's talking, and he's being moved, strapped down, lifted, jostled carefully, rolled.
"He's gonna worry," dribbles out of his mouth.
"Your coach called your dad," one of the medics says calmly.
"Not him," Shane feels slide through his teeth. "Ilya."
In which Shane Hollander is personally victimized by the French language.
OR
Why no one questions Shane saying Ilya's name.

Summary
“I’m sorry I didn’t text you last night. I’m mostly mad at Marleau for fucking that up, actually.”
Ilya chances a glance up at Shane’s parents, who look equally shellshocked. He swallows. “No, no. Is okay.”
“I was excited about last night. You know, I had a whole plan to ask you something,” Shane begins, and Ilya hastily shushes him.
“Maybe not now, yes, Hollander? Better if you just rest.” He caresses Shane’s freckles, softening the blow, and then abruptly realises they’ve probably, definitely given themselves away.
*
In which Ilya buys Shane flowers, faces Yuna and David Hollander in his hospital room, and gets asked to the cottage anyway.

Summary
“I am out for the season?”
“Probably."
“Are you by any chance looking for a trophy husband?”
“Ilya.”
“Yes? No?”
“It’s one season, Ilya, we’re not—it’s bad because you’re hurting, not because—I’m not letting this fuck anything up for us, okay? We’ll figure something out,” Shane says, resolutely.
or, you know what they say about the best laid plans
ilya’s first year in ottawa looks a little different than originally planned, maybe sort of because he ends up spending it recovering a broken leg in his boyfriend’s apartment, but probably mostly because he meets jackie pike

Summary
The chain is new, but this is undoubtedly his necklace. His mothers necklace.
Skipping his fingers greedily along the chain, Ilya hurries to put it on, fumbling with the strange clasp until he hears a satisfying click of it locking in place. The weight is more than he’s used to, sits heavy on his skin where the previous one had danced and moved with him.
It could feel cloying, choking; instead, it offers reassurance.
I’m here. Not lost. Still here.
His chest heaves with another sob, and Ilya darts into the bathroom; he needs a mirror, he needs to see-
The thicker chain, new and sparkling, glimmers even in the shitty hotel bathroom lighting.
OR
Ilya loses his necklace, and it almost costs him Shane too.
