    Summary

    It'd been easier for Shane to pretend the emotional meltdown that he'd had after their 2014 encounter in Vegas hadn't happened than to bring it up to Ilya. It'd only ever happened that one time. There's no reason to dwell on it or rehash old stuff when both of them are great at aftercare now and have been since they officially got together.

    --or, Shane definitely should've told Ilya sooner

    Summary

    “Shane you have…you have felt like you just did before in the past, da?” Ilya says softly. Shane hums, looping one of his arms around Ilya’s neck. Ilya takes his free hand, grazing a thumb across the back of it like Shane is something precious. “Shane?”

    “Yeah,” Shane finally says, his voice grating out of his throat like it hurts him to say it. “Yeah, I’ve felt like that before.”

    Ilya immediately feels bad for asking at all, let alone pushing Shane after he’d already given a non-answer. Shane had said it like he was confessing to one of things he’s the most embarrassed about, something that’d made him feel his lowest and most pathetic, and Ilya knows that it’s because that is what this is. It makes him ache.

     

    --or, Ilya sees up close and personal just how much Vegas had affected Shane during his first summer at the cottage, they acknowledge that Vegas was fucked and take steps to prevent it from happening again

    Summary

    "I did not realize until you got here, how much they do not realize what a Montreal locker room actually sounds like."

    --or, a slight A/U where Shane didn't stay in Montreal after the cottage just because he wanted to or because he thought it was expected of him and those years after he came out to his team had been worse than he lets on

    ---OR, Shane acquires a Russian duckling, finally sets the record straight with his man, goes full 'protect the rookie' mode when his duckling is checked during a game in Montreal, and learns how to be part of a team again (in that order)

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is just trying to survive NYU biochemistry, hockey practice, and the graveyard shift at 7-Eleven. He's too exhausted to notice that his new regular customer is Russian mafia, or that Ilya's interest in him goes beyond terrible coffee and cookies.

    When Ilya hands him a $10,000 designer scarf and matching gloves, Shane doesn't panic. He sells them for next month's rent. Any normal person would be terrified. Instead, Shane uses the leftover money to buy a Hello Kitty watch, pastel pink, childish, utterly incongruous with the danger circling him. He wears it to his next night shift without irony or apology.

    Ilya notices immediately. He is fascinated.

    (Currently under major editing. Can still be read.)
