    Summary

    ‘I look forward to getting to know you more, husband-to-be.’ Ilya smirks, tongue wrapping around the last word with relish, a hand coming to trace the freckles dusted across his cheeks with a surprisingly delicate touch.

    Shane smacks his hand away with a snort, tampering down the blush threatening to make itself known to instead snap out a frosty retort. ‘In your dreams.’

    Except all Ilya, the Prince of Rozan, has to offer is a dark smile and wandering eyes. Shane can feel them burning through his clothes, his shoulders resisting the urge to curl inwards and shield himself from Ilya’s gaze.

    ‘Oh, but you already are. Am I not in yours, sweet prince?’

    or: Shane, Crown Prince of Hollaith hates Prince Ilya of Rozan with a passion. So the idea of marrying him is his worst nightmare - right?

    Summary

    After Shane comes out, the Metros become convinced he might be attracted to them.

    Shane corrects this assumption with devastating precision, accidentally describes Ilya Rozanov in the process, and somehow turns the entire locker room into a deranged pageant of heterosexual insecurity.

    Summary

    In 2006, the Hollander family billeted a player to the Ottawa 67s - Ilya Rozanov, a 15 year old Russian Bostonian with a hockey talent to rival Shane's.
    Years later, they’d once again share a team, and a home: Boston College.

    “Why did you choose to come here? It’s not like you couldn’t have gone anywhere else.”
    Shane remembered his surprise at Ilya’s commitment. The calm of Boston College didn’t exactly fit Ilya’s predisposition.
    Ilya looked thoughtful for a second, underneath the tumult on his face. “Other than the obvious? I don’t know. I think I just felt like this place was where I was meant to go.”
    Shane understood that. After all, he’d felt the same way.
    Ilya gently nudged him with his elbow. "Now you. Why are you here, Canadian boy?”
    The corner of Shane’s lip raised, and he shrugged. “I wanted to be more than hockey. At least, for a little while longer.”
    Ilya’s eyes locked on him, and a small smile reset the lines of Ilya’s face. “You couldn’t have done that in Canada?”
    Shane shrugged again. “Sure, but Canada didn’t have you.”
    Ilya looked down at the ground, and didn’t look back up as he spoke.
    “The NHL didn’t have you.”

    Summary

    Looking across the room to where Troy is on the floor playing with Chiron, Harris starts flailing his arms under the table in the other man’s general direction. He attempts to do this in a manner that won’t alert Ilya, though it probably looks absolutely insane to Troy, who remains oblivious to his distress and need for another set of eyes on this Zoom situation.

    “So you like the idea?” he asks.

    “Not bad. Maybe call it Quaran-team with the Cens?” Ilya floats.

    He continues somehow, and with great effort, to spitball names for the initiative while watching the half-naked guy behind Ilya move through an incredibly acrobatic yoga routine, head remaining just off camera.

    **The pandemic sucks. It raises Shane’s anxiety through the roof, but it also lends him a new point of view, a small existential crisis, if you will… life is too short to keep hiding his love for Ilya. So Shane and Ilya decide to just screw it and be less uptight about protecting their secret. They’re in lockdown anyway, what could happen? Or, five times Shane and Ilya have a Zoom mishap, and one time it’s not accidental at all.
