    Summary

    ...oh,” his mom says. “Oh, honey, you were seeing someone? You never said anything.”

    “It’s-it’s complicated.” He catches the present tense too fucking late to do anything about it, and he barely resists the urge to either groan or slip forward to start beating his head against the coffee table.

    Fuck his fucking life.

    “You’re still…seeing this person?” His mom asks, and the amount of control he can hear her exerting is almost painful. “Who is-”

    “Yuna,” his dad cuts in, voice quiet, “maybe give him a second, yeah?”

    Yeah, Shane agrees in his head. Give him a second.

    Maybe give him a decade while they’re at it.

    (when shane's old fake id falls out of his wallet around his parents, he has to explain that it was to book hotel rooms before he was 21)

    (...and then he has to explain why he needed to book those hotel rooms in the first place)

    Shane makes it halfway out the door when he clocks back into his body enough to realize something very, very important beyond the fact that he’s only wearing one sock in his shoes: if he commits to running away right now, if he finishes blowing up this bridge, there is a very real possibility that he is going to have to explain that he’s no longer seeing his “partner” to his mother.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has been drafted by Boston, the number one pick overall, but his father doesn't want him moving to America and so takes steps to block his visa. He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong.

    It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it. Even though that something is the most reckless, the only reckless thing he's ever done in his life. He marries Rozanov in secret, to keep him out of Russia and put him on a path to Canadian citizenship.

    Shane's got a five-year plan to get him there and when you have a plan nothing can go wrong. Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's.

    Right???

    (or, the story of how Shane Hollander fell in love with his own husband)

    “You know me,” Shane said. The words were out of his mouth before he’d fully processed them, but he didn’t give himself the chance to take them back. “You could marry me.”

    Rozanov snorted. “Sure, Hollander. I could marry you. Canada allows this, I think.”

    “Yeah. It does.”

    “You’re giving up everything for me, and I need…I need you to understand that I'm not going to leave you,” Shane says. He looks wild with terror, like a spooked horse, and Ilya is suddenly afraid, too.

    “No, Shane, I shouldn’t have said…”

    “I'm sorry,” Shane says, and then he rips off the soulmark patch and it's…

    “You never forget?”

    For a second, his brain refuses to cooperate. It offers him the image of the ring anyway. The familiar ring that’s always on his finger. Automatic and he can picture it perfectly: warm gold, slightly scuffed from years of wear, catching the light when Ilya moves his hands the way he always does.

    Expressive and careless and alive.

    But it isn’t there.

    Summary

    “Mm, not stuff his pockets with the drug everyone thinks makes you gay right before a press conference? Maybe!” Ilya’s voice chimed happily from the phone.

    “You wanna tell us why you’re so acquainted with Rush that you can identify it in 780p, Ilya?” Kip asked.

    “…I have so much leather to deodorize, Kip Grady. So many sports cars, you know.”

    --

    Kip can't believe no one else can tell how outrageously gay Ilya Rozanov is, but he's not complaining, he's happy to have someone else to talk to at all the hockey functions.

    Or: Perfect gaydar haver Ilya Rozanov finally gets a taste of his own medicine. A series of looks into Kip and Ilya's friendship, starting after the cottage.

    “So it’s never going to work out between us, Kip, you’re too interesting. Sorry to break your heart this way. Feel free to get off to my pictures for the rest of time.”

    ”Woe is me,” Kip replied, flatly, no emotion at all on his face. He was intrigued though, “Your type is boring?”

    ”Yes, my plus-one went to sleep,” Ilya said, gesturing to his phone.
