    Summary

    “Do you know one of the players?” One of the girls asked around her friend. “That's cool.”

    Before she could think too much about it, Yuna had already said, “He's family.”

    “Cool!” The other girl asked pointedly, “You don't look alike.”

    “Cassie, you can't just say that!” The other girl hissed and Yuna smiled.

    “He's my son.” She said to stop the conversation there.

    or

    Ilya takes a hit and the (many) times Yuna Hollander calls Ilya her son.

    Summary

    “And next up we have a one-on-one evening with the one and only Shane Hollander.” Hayden gestures towards him like he’s bringing out a car on a game show. “Spend an evening with Shane Hollander, my best friend and the greatest hockey player of the generation. Not to mention lifelong Ottawa sweetheart.”

    “I’m going to kill you.” he whispers through his teeth as the crowd applauds, but also in the crowd, Ilya is glaring like he’s going to absolutely murder Hayden.

    (or - hayden puts an evening with shane up for auction and ilya could not be less thrilled about it)

    Summary

    He can’t tell Ilya though. He can’t tell Ilya that his team might not be right for Shane. That this perfect solution is making Shane a worse hockey player, a bad teammate.

    That maybe Shane Hollander of the Voyagers really was his full name. That Shane Hollander of the Centaurs might not exist.

    He can’t say that. He can’t ruin everything. He can’t dim the shine in Ilya’s eyes, the bounce in his step, the color in his cheeks he didn’t have the last few years.

    Ilya sacrificed hockey for their relationship for two years, played on a crappy team and watched Shane win. It’s Shane’s turn to sacrifice, to figure out how to make this work and let Ilya lead this time.

    Or:

    Transitions are hard for Shane. Joining his husband's team turns out not to be an exception to that rule.

    Summary

    The doctor tilts her head to the only source of warmth in the cold, hospital room. “And who’s he?”

    Buck’s eyes drift to Eddie, hungry for the sight of him. They fall upon the tense line of Eddie’s shoulders, the firm press of otherwise plump lips, watching like the very air in his lungs depend on Buck’s answer.

    “That’s Eddie,” Buck answers, and the smile sneaks up on him. “Eddie Diaz. My partner.”

    There. Relief washes through Eddie in a visible wave: his shoulders drop, features relaxing with the soft push of an exhale. Buck warms at the sight. Right answer.


    A polysemy is a word with multiple, related meanings. The word partner, for example, can mean close friendship, a teammate, a co-parent. To someone else, it can also mean a lover.

    Summary

    Ilya knew, right from the very moment he met Shane Hollander, that he would never be good enough for him. He’d seemed so…pristine, when they first met. Untouched. And Ilya knew his unclean hands would only dirty him up. He’s always been selfish, though; his father used to tell him that.

    So it’s no surprise, really, that Shane has finally gotten tired of it. Of him, always needing more from Shane than he deserves - always begging for more than he has earned.

    Ilya would leave himself, too, if he could.

    (Or, five time Ilya thought Shane would leave, and one time he knew he wasn’t going anywhere.)
