    Summary

    Shane Hollander loves playing for the Ottawa Centaurs. Leaving Montreal, as painful as it had been, really has been one of the best decisions he’s ever made.

    He gets to play with his husband. He’s supported at all levels, from upper management down to the most casual of fans, and his teammates are genuinely kind and lovely people who care about him and his life and are invested in his well-being.

    Considering where he came from, Shane thinks it’s wonderful to work with such caring players who want what’s best for him and notice things about his life. It's really, really great.

    Until it isn’t, of course.

    “Hollander, what the fuck is that on your face?” Zane Boodram asks in the locker room while they’re changing for game five of the first round of playoffs.

    ___

    Or Shane has a mysterious rash, and his teammates are very concerned.

    Summary

    “He wants doll brushes because he’s seen the girls at the park brushing their plushies with them. Their dolls too, obviously. But he wants to brush that pelt you brought him-”

    David sets his crossword book down, giving Yuna his full attention.

    “What?”

    “The pelt of fur? Looks like a wolf, or maybe one of those big cats?” Yuna says, waving her hand dismissively. “Either way, I don’t think doll brushes are the right choice. We can look into getting him a set of actual grooming tools, he needs to learn that the right tools for the right job are an important-”

    “Yuna. Sweetheart.” David interrupts. “I did not buy our son a piece of dead animal as a souvenir from Russia.”

    OR

    Ilya loses something important at the airport; years later, Shane gives it back to him.

    Summary

    “Look, red!” Shane holds his clenched fist up triumphantly, and Yuna carefully steps over the baby gate blocking Shane’s doorway. 

    “Let me see.” she says softly, knowing full well that there’s nothing for her to see at all. The red string of fate that ties two souls together can only be seen by the people connected by it. Her own string leads her right to David, and she can only hope that whoever’s on the other end of Shane’s string is a worthy soulmate for her baby.

    “Mine.” Shane, who’s never been possessive about any of his toys, is practically growling at her; stubbornly shaking his head. He wraps his free hand around his fist, pulling both close to his chest.

    She tries not to find it adorable, and fails.

    When life became too much she wrote a final letter to that past life, hoping against hope that her boy, her wonderful boy, could experience at least a fraction of the life she once lived. Her eldest was lost to her but Ilya, sweet Ilya, maybe there was something for him yet.

    Or:

    Summary

    It is 2022. Shane and Ilya are playing on a team together—in Ottawa, god help them—and they are married, and Yuna Hollander is scheduling sponsorships for them both because that is apparently her love language.

    Ilya is letting her, because letting the ridiculous people in his life be ridiculous is his love language, and also because if he doesn’t, she gets this disappointed, hurt look that is entirely too much like her son’s. Ilya is not going to tell her that, but he has his suspicions that she already knows. She brings it out much too strategically. 

    Shane, however, is not letting her schedule sponsorships. Not on this one, anyway.  Ilya can see where he’s coming from, but also, the whole situation is very funny.
