    Summary

    Cliff watches him squeeze the phone between his cheek and shoulder, lifting the jersey over his head as he continues to talk, a bit distracted now by the multitasking.

    “And was good practice, you know, for when I am your husband."

    Immediately, the locker room goes dead silent. And so does Rozanov, in fact.

    In which Ilya accidentally calls himself Shane's future husband in the middle of the Bears locker room. Worse still, they're not even dating yet.

    Summary

    /tranˈzistər/

    A tiny mechanism capable of controlling something far larger than itself.

    Peter Parker died at eighteen with regret and a wish he didn't think would matter; with the Time Stone against his chest and a wish that felt more like a prayer…The time stone, as it turns out, has never been great at doing things by half measures.

    or

    When Peter Parker is a child who used to be Spider-Man, joined by teenage super soldier with nowhere to go, fifteen and already tired of this. Loki is eighteen very much done. In Gotham. As teenagers with no resources, no backup, and no one who would believe them even if they explained. All Peter wanted was a second chance.

    He got Gotham instead.

    Summary

    “I don’t want you to lie. That’s not who you are.”

    Shane Hollander was a consummate liar, and the twisted irony of his mom’s baffled statement told him more than anything that he needed to tighten up. He was done with messing around, done with letting people down, done with indulgences that he couldn’t afford. The path before him was clear; all he had to do was walk it.

    (This, he would acknowledge later, was the biggest lie of all.)

    OR: Shane learned how to lie with his words and stillness. Unfortunately his body speaks a language of its own, and it's one Ilya Rozanov never needed a translator for. As Rozanov lets Shane get away with anything except lying to him, this causes problems until it solves them.

    Summary

    Hayden wasn’t the type to invade someone’s privacy, but seeing Shane reduced to a ghost was wearing him down. He picked up the phone, his fingers trembling slightly as he searched for the contact “Lily.” The phone rang once, twice, three times.

    Then, the line clicked. But there was no "Hello?"

    “This is Ilya. I never check my voicemail.”

    Hayden pulled the phone away from his ear, staring at the screen as if it had just exploded. The name still read Lily. But the voice… the voice was low, gravelly, with that Russian accent he’d been hearing scream across the ice for years.

    “Rozanov?” Hayden whispered. “What the hell…”

     

    Set after Shane left Ilya's house in ep 4

    Summary

    No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.

    Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.
