    Summary

    “You really think we’ll get all that?” he murmured against Ilya’s mouth.

    “Yes,” Ilya answered without hesitation. “We have time.”

    Time.

    The word hung between them like a promise. Shane rested his forehead against Ilya’s, listening to the steady beat of his heart, the soft rhythm of the lake.

    Two kids. Pancakes. Winters. Summers. Growing old.

    Shane can’t wait.

    *****
    Shane Hollander does not panic because there is always a plan. But, he should've known that life does not care about his plans.

    How can one plan losing the love of your life to a plane crash?

    Summary

    In which I put Hollanov into SituationsTM as if they were living in a procedural TV show land like Criminal Minds, The Rookie, Castle or Bones. Where, yes, hockey players attract a lot of trouble and then sort of end up solving crimes to save each other’s lives.

    ✨ Long live the power of looooooove and crazy shenanigans ✨

    Summary

    He answered with no preface, no pretense, just the bare facts. “I'm at the hospital with Shane. He wasn't waking up for me.”

    The line was quiet for a bit, almost long enough for Hayden to start thinking she'd put the phone down. When she spoke, her tone was serious.

    “What do you mean, not waking up?”

    “I got to Drapeau's place and tried to wake him up to get him in the car, but he wouldn't wake up. It was like he couldn't. And then,” he trailed off, unsure what to even say about what he found to his wife.

    “And then what?”

    He took a deep breath, reluctant to say it out loud, but he had to tell her. “I think something bad happened to him, Jacks. Like, really bad.”

    -

    Shane is sexually assaulted at a house party in Montreal. He, Hayden, and Ilya make their attempts to recover in the aftermath.
