Summary
Ilya Rozanov of the Ottawa Centaurs was taken off the ice unconscious and transported to the local hospital.
The ambulance pulled into the ER bay at Ottawa General, Beth the nurse on duty had already been informed who was in the ambulance. Not a huge hockey fan but even she knew who Ilya Rozanov was.
“Bay 7” Beth tells the men wheeling the stretcher, as one of them shoves paperwork into her hands.
One thing Beth likes about pro athletes is when they come to the hospital it is usually with paperwork and an attending physician. Beth flips through the pages until she finds what she is looking for.
Emergency contact number. Beth looked at the number and frowned. It looked odd to her, but she shrugged and went to the phone.
Ring…..ring….”Thank you for calling Dial-a-Prayer. How can I pray for you today?”
“Uh….sorry, wrong number.” Beth puts the phone down and looks down at the hallway where Rozanov had been wheeled.
God, he really is an asshole.

They made plans to meet up with Shane’s parents for dinner. It was before Ilya said he would be able to come to the cottage.
Shane's phone had been ringing all morning, if only he had answered...... -

Initially Shane was going to bolt and come back later but Ilya reminded Shane that he had three friends, and his parents knew about their relationship. Ilya just wants three of his friends to know, so it is fair yeah, so I have someone to talk too. Shane reluctantly agreed. They were Ilya’s best friends on the Raiders.

Summary
“You wanted to talk?” Shane prompted.
“I was hoping to talk to you…privately” Scott said, now very confused about the situation. What the hell was going on with Hollander and Rozanov?
“You can speak freely in front of Ilya.” Shane said. Ilya raised his eyebrow as Scott.
“You worried about something Hunter?” Ilya asked in his sexy Russian accent.
“Yes…no. Look Shane, I just wanted to talk to you in private.” Scott tried again. The way Ilya was looking at him and Kip was starting to get on his nerves.“Shane said you wanted to talk to all the captains in the league. I am in same league, but you did not call me?” Ilya said.
“That’s because you are an asshole.” Scott had not meant to say it out loud, but he didn’t like Rozanov. He was an asshole. And despite what he was seeing with his own eyes, always thought Ilya was homophobic, or certainly not accepting of the queer culture given he was from Russia.

“Shane, you know Russia is not safe. Promise me you will stay away from me. Don’t talk to me, don’t know me.” Ilya said holding Shane’s face and eyes.
“I wouldn’t” Shane said hurt coming from his voice.
“I know you wouldn’t put me in danger on purpose, I will be, what is the expression, under a microscope, every move I make will be watched. Everyone I talk to too will be watched. I do not want any harm to come to you either, okay. For protection. Do not talk to me.”
Shane nodded and Ilya kissed him tenderly, ‘I will make it up to you when we are back in the states.” -

“Ilya, you took a last place team and now you are in the running for a cup. I am so proud of you….how did you do it?” Shane asked, holding out his cufflinks to Ilya.
Ilya, dressed in his bespoke tuxedo, took Shane’s cufflinks and fastened them on his dress shirt. Shane slipped on his jacket.
“We should get going, the ballet will start soon.” Ilya brushed a kiss on Shane’s cheek.
Shane’s hand found its way into Ilya’s as they strode out to Ilya car.
“You’re not going to tell me are you.” Shane guessed. He wasn’t bothered by it…. that much. -

Summary
Mating Call: “Scott Hunter is next door,” Shane hissed as he was unceremoniously tossed on the bed by his lover. “Let him listen, it will be like mating call.” Ilya teased. It had been far too long and Ilya was not going to miss the chance to be with Shane, he didn’t care who was next door.
Scott was just laying down when he heard it. The slight steady thumping against his wall. Oh Christ, Rozanov is fucking someone…. But the unintelligible noise that was muffled was not a woman! Jesus, Rozanov was with a man?Stand alone snippets, what if's and anything else my mind conjures up. Love Kudos and comments. Come on give us a read...you might like it.

“Ahem….the Metros have chosen….Rozanov.”
“What! Fuck that he is injured!” Cliff shouted. The rest of the team also cursed and looked like they were going to take Parker apart with their bare hands. What the fuck were the Metros playing at, you didn’t choose an injured player for the room.
“The forfeit is….Carmichael.” Parker continued. He admitted he was shocked when Hollander told him. It looked like Shane was just as miserable relaying the information as Parker was delivering it.
“Those mother fuckers,” Dubek glared, “they chose a rookie, for the forfeit” -

Gray leaves Ianto and Gwen on Elan-6, where John initially found him, half dead. It is a ‘purge’ planet. Kill or be killed. There are no alliances, darkness is when the monsters come out, you must survive the night so you can survive the day avoiding getting slaughtered by the survivors. Gather the scarce resources and meager food rations only to survive the night all over again. There is no rest, there is no safe spaces there is no time out from the slaughter, there is no time at all….before darkness once again descends and the killing starts all over again.

Summary
“I believe we are ready to go. Owen, Tosh and I have given our statements and are waiting in the SUV.”
“We are not ready Ianto.” Gwen says sharply. It had taken her an hour to convince the local constable to interview the last cannibal, which they only agreed if Jack was with her. Now she was trying to get Jack in her corner. She needed to understand why, and she was not leaving until she did.
“Just a little bit longer Ianto, then we will be ready.” Jack said complacently. He also had wanted to leave an hour ago. He wanted his team out of this village of the damn.
“How long?” Ianto had not meant it to sound demanding, “so I can let Tosh and Owen know.”
Gwen stomped her foot, “just be patient, it will take as long as it takes. Just go back in the SUV to wait. Jack and I will come out when we are through.”
Ianto was done with the village of Sweeney Todd and one way or another he is leaving, with, or without Jack and Gwen. -

Summary
“Ianto, someday the Doctor is going to come….and I will have to leave. I need answers to why I can’t stay dead.” Jack said softly as Ianto was nestled in his arms.
“How long will you be gone?” Ianto asked trying to keep the alarm out of his voice. Jack had remained silent for several minutes. “Are you coming back?” Ianto asked quietly, willing his heart not to break.
“No.” Jack said quietly, as if not saying it above a whisper would prevent the breaking of his heart. He loved Ianto but he missed traveling in the stars, meeting new aliens, being with his Doctor and Rose. He never wanted to remain this long on earth, or work for Torchwood.
But Jack does return, and chaos ensues as one time agent John Hart come to wreak havoc with Jack and the Torchwood team. -
