    Summary

    And so here he sat on his couch, staring intently at his boyfriend’s face as he waited for an answer.
    “Okay.”
    Ilya felt his eyes light up as he took in the word, something so simple yet so joyous to him right now. “Really?” he asked, still not believing he was agreeing.
    Shane nodded, waiting a moment before replying, “Obviously as friends, but you trust them, and I trust you.”
    Ilya felt a smile break across his face, too happy to be embarrassed by how much this affected him.

     

    or:
    What if Shane agreed to go to Bood's Boxing Day party with Ilya, and a drunken game of Never Have I ever ensues?

    Summary

    Shane is in a post-game interview when his world stops.

    He’s just answered a question about Montreal’s offensive strategy going into the game. Clean passes, avoid penalties, draw defenders wide. It had worked and the Voyagers had beat Colorado soundly, 4-1. Shane had scored two of the goals and assisted on a third.

    Usually, Shane would be eager to boast about the win to Ilya. But ever since their fight- since Ilya told Shane to leave- winning feels hollow. Losing feels better, somehow. As if Shane deserves to lose after being so selfish. Ilya gave up everything for him- his home, his team, and to some extent- his happiness. Hockey. Ilya gave up hockey- good hockey- for Shane.

    A ripple goes through the room of reporters. Shane swears he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘crash’. But no one is paying attention to him anymore.

    “What’s going on?” he asks into the microphone, feeling strange at the role reversal. Usually, he’s the one being asked questions.

    No one answers. And this time he knows that he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘Centaurs’.

    ------------------------------------------

    Shane rushes to Ilya after the almost plane crash. Their secret is no longer a secret.

    Summary

    Looking across the room to where Troy is on the floor playing with Chiron, Harris starts flailing his arms under the table in the other man’s general direction. He attempts to do this in a manner that won’t alert Ilya, though it probably looks absolutely insane to Troy, who remains oblivious to his distress and need for another set of eyes on this Zoom situation.

    “So you like the idea?” he asks.

    “Not bad. Maybe call it Quaran-team with the Cens?” Ilya floats.

    He continues somehow, and with great effort, to spitball names for the initiative while watching the half-naked guy behind Ilya move through an incredibly acrobatic yoga routine, head remaining just off camera.

    **The pandemic sucks. It raises Shane’s anxiety through the roof, but it also lends him a new point of view, a small existential crisis, if you will… life is too short to keep hiding his love for Ilya. So Shane and Ilya decide to just screw it and be less uptight about protecting their secret. They’re in lockdown anyway, what could happen? Or, five times Shane and Ilya have a Zoom mishap, and one time it’s not accidental at all.

    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)
