    Summary

    “You are my friend, Hayden, but he is the man I am going to spend the rest of my life with - he is the man that I love. I will choose him over you, every fucking time.”

    Over anything and everything, Shane would choose Ilya. Even over hockey, if it came to that. There’s no doubt in his mind, no question about it.

    Losing hockey would hurt, and Shane would grieve it, but it wouldn’t kill him. It would be an ache he could live with. Losing Ilya is not something that Shane could ever survive. They’re so tangled together - so intertwined - that to lose Ilya would be to lose himself.

    Summary

    Shane pats Parker’s shoulder, such a genuine gesture that Ilya wonders where he’s going with this. “Do a favor for me?” He leans in a little closer, physically blocking Parker from seeing Ilya.

    “What?”

    Shane’s smile fades away. His voice is stern, final when he answers. “Get back to your team, and step the fuck away from my husband?”

    He doesn't bother to mince his words. Not tonight, with Ilya being as exhausted as he is, and not with Ilya being uncomfortable. He rarely gets to see him this outwardly protective. He expected Shane to come over, grab his hand and lead him away from the booth with some random excuse. But this—this is Shane losing his patience for all of those manners. His only concern is Ilya.

    —a collection of moments where Shane takes care of Ilya during a depressive episode.

    Summary

    “Okay,” Shane interrupts his train of thought, and Ilya blinks back to reality. They’re standing in a gaudy little gift shop, nowhere near their terminal. “You need to tell me what’s going on. I can’t help you if you don’t tell me, Ilya.”

    Fuck. Shane is looking at him so expectantly that Ilya can’t even scramble for a lie, can’t find a joke to put his husband at ease. And so, because they both signed the marriage certificate and they both made promises, Ilya makes the impossible decision to be honest.

    ”I don’t know,” He says, pursing his lips, looking stubbornly at the floor. “I am scared, maybe. Anxious. I don’t know why. Or for what.”

    Shane doesn’t say anything, not for a few seconds; Ilya can feel his brown eyes boring into him, searching him for some unspoken answer, even as Ilya himself keeps his gaze square on the scuffed-up floor of the gift shop.

    Or: Ilya is suddenly scared of flying. Shane wants to find out why.

    Summary

    “We’re just, well-“ Choui hedges, then glances round as if he’s looking for back up.

    “We’re worried that you’re a bit too controlling,” Hayes blurts out. “Of Rozanov.”

    Shane opens his mouth to respond, but he closes it again when he realises he has no fucking idea what to say. He’s - what?

    Summary

    "Please, Rozanov, just tell me what's going on." It is so earnest, so gentle, and Ilya does not deserve it. "Don't leave without—"

    "Hollander," Ilya pleads for him to stop, puts out his hand as a peace offering.

    Summary

    His mom fills him in, standing with hunched shoulders in a cramped, too-bright hallway at The Ottawa Hospital. An illegal check into the boards; they were worried about a head injury, because Ilya wasn’t moving and he’s usually so, so hard to take down like that. But then his heart stopped, and they had to CPR right there on the ice to bring it back. To bring him back.

    Shane buckles, crouching against the wall with his head in his hands. His mom’s voice is fuzzy above him, her hair tickling his shoulder when she leans down to comfort him. Ilya’s heart fucking stopped. On the ice, in the middle of a game, he died.

    Or: Ilya goes into a coma after an accident on the ice. Shane figures out how to build him a life worth waking up for.

    Summary

    Ilya was used to hazing. He had been subjected to it, he had participated in it, and, as a captain, he had stood guard over the rookies and protected them from anything truly harmful. But if he had been asked, Ilya would have approved of this prank. He would have authorized it, given Cliff and Vicky his seal of approval, perhaps even helped orchestrate it.

    Any other day, Ilya might have been happy to play along.

    But, in perfect dramatic irony, it had not happened any other day. It had happened today. And, cherry on top, of course the rookie had to walk in when Shane was already freaking out about Ilya saying his name.

    +++

    A prank-gone-wrong leads to the Boston Bears finding out about Shane and Ilya’s relationship in 2016. The day Ilya first invited Shane into his house. Right after they say each other’s names for the first time. Fuck his life, honestly.

    Summary

    By the time Shane caught up to where Ilya had snuck into a hallway, he’s disappeared from view. Shane stood there, glancing around at a couple closed doors, when he was pulled into a bathroom behind him. Someone muffled his cry of surprise, and all the struggle bled from his body as he was encased in a familiar scent.

    The space was a health hazard, mysterious liquids on the floor and beer cans littered in the tub. If he looked close enough, he’s pretty sure he could spot a pair of panties nestled in the mix.

    Still, very little could sway Shane from his mission tonight - not even his neat freak tendencies.

    As soon as the lock on the door was flipped, Shane was crowded against it, head smacking the hard wood as Ilya’s mouth attacked his neck. They hadn’t even said a word to each other.

    Summary

    “What were you doing?”

    “Oh.” A sweet flush colours Shane’s freckled cheeks, and his fingers twitch where they’re still resting on Ilya’s back. “I was just tracing your moles.”

    Ilya is going to die. His heart is actually going to give out on him because of this sweet, perfect man who he loves more than he knows what to do with. Who he loves more than anything in this entire world.

    Summary

    “I fell through the ice, one time,” Ilya murmured, “Skating on a lake. Playing hockey.”

    ”Oh, shit. Really?”

    ”Mhm.” Ilya nodded. He had never spoken about this to anyone. Ever. “It was maybe a few months after my mother died. Skating outside was very normal in the winter.”

    ”Pond hockey,” Shane said, and Ilya could feel him smiling softly against his chest. He imagined a teeny tiny Shane in his teeny tiny hockey gear, skating out onto a big Canadian lake. No wonder he grew up to be such a hockey machine. 

    “Yes. Exactly. Coach thought the ice was thick enough, but…” 

    But it wasn’t goes unsaid. He’d never spoken about this to anyone because frankly, he was embarrassed. Not for falling in, but for still being so fucking affected by it. Of course, it was terrifying at the time. What kind of twelve year old is equipped for that?

    Summary

    Shane flushed. They were out, now, and that meant they could engage in some light PDA when they were in public. But they both knew that that came with substantial risks, and that it couldn’t ever be like when they were alone. And in their house, their home, they were completely alone.

    Ilya and Shane have spent their entire adult lives waiting to be alone together.

    Or; five times throughout their relationship that Ilya and Shane were alone together, and one time they weren’t.

    “And there’s papa,” Shane muttered, still bouncing Elena gently against his chest, “Standing in the dark and staring at us like a big Russian serial killer.”

    Ilya frowned, immediately stepping into the living room, hands on his hips. “You tell her lies about me. I am not serial killer, Lenochka. Your dada is much more likely to be serial killer. As you will see, he puts labels on everything.”

    ”The labels are useful!” Shane protested, but he still kept his scandalised voice low enough that he wouldn’t disturb Elena. “If we didn’t have those, you’d still be doing laundry with dishwasher tablets, and—”

    Summary

    Shane makes it very, very clear that he doesn’t approve. In his own stupid, adorable way. 

    First, Ilya receives three links to articles about arrested Russian activists. Ilya rolls his eyes, but reads them; it’s nothing he hasn’t seen before. Second, he receives an email from their lawyer Mikhaila with Farrah CC’d in, officially advising him not to go. Third, Shane sidles up to him on the couch, kisses his neck, and asks why they can’t just send Mikhaila. 

    The third attempt almost convinces him, but Ilya kisses his husband back and steadies himself; Ilya knows that, for one last time, he has to go to Russia.

    Or: Ilya gets arrested for the second time in his life.

    Summary

    Ilya could see the best of David and Yuna in Shane. It was magnificent, to see their love reflected and amplified in his fiance, but it also scared him. Was his own father’s crass disregard, his mother’s sadness, amplified within him the same way?

    Ilya cleared his throat.

    ”I think I was unfair to you yesterday, David. I am sorry.”

    David frowned, still somehow managing to look kind. His oatmeal had long been forgotten, though he’d been scraping his spoon around the bowl in the same way that Shane often did when he was too busy thinking to actually eat.

    “Oh, kiddo. You don’t have anything to say sorry to me for.”

    Or: Ilya tries to navigate love, and love navigates its way back.
