“Night changes AU” by proseandpulse
1) “night changes”
Shane is drunk, concussed, and hiding in a phone booth when he calls the only number he knows by heart.The man who answers is not Hayden Pike.
-
Shane is a pro hockey player out one night getting chased by a guy. He dials the wrong number, trying to call Hayden, and accidentally calls a stranger named Ilya instead. Ilya comes to pick him up anyway. Shane does a charity event at a local hospital where Ilya is conveniently a pediatric surgeon. They go on a date to a cafe and Ilya looks at Shane’s scraped hands and they share a Nutella creme horn together.2) “immune to everything (except you)”
First chapter or two is about Ilya making Shane take care of himself. Second chapter, Shane makes Ilya pelmeni, which is like a dumpling. The last chapter is about Ilya letting Shane celebrate Irina’s birthday with him; this is special because he never lets anyone do it with him, not even Sveta. They make a cake called medovik (a cake with honey) together and Ilya reminisces about making it with her as a kid and going to his grandmother’s cottage with her. He imagines how well she would have gotten along with Shane and a grown Sveta. The whole chapter is syrupy sweet and heartbreakingly sad and so comfy cozy and golden and very very good.3) “merry Christmas, darling”
A stray kitten breaks into the Hollander house on Christmas Eve and steals a butter tart. Shane texts Ilya about it. This is a love story, somehow.
-
Ilya surprises Shane by coming to his parents house for Christmas after work (and tells him about a partial foot degloving) after a kitten shows up on their doorstep. Shane feeds him dinner and they snuggle and Shane asks Ilya to move in. Ilya admits to knowing Shane keeps a drawer empty for him. Ilya surprises Shane with a new car for driving in the winter, a green Audi, and he showers and changes after they almost fall asleep on the couch. They go to bed in Shane’s childhood bedroom because Shane knows David will wake them up with the birds. Ilya kisses the back of his neck as goodnight and the kitten (who keeps eating Yuna’s butter tarts) falls asleep behind Ilya’s knees. -

Summary
Shane heard a strangled shout tear free from his mouth, and then his body was moving without his brain’s input. He flew across the ice, ripping his gloves off and reaching for Ilya’s throat. He wrapped his fingers around the warm skin, feeling the flow of blood pulse harder with each beat of Ilya’s heart. His eyes raced across Ilya’s face, desperately looking for a sign that his boyfriend was still with him. Ilya’s eyes were wide and glazed, staring past Shane instead of at him. His face was losing color rapidly, turning a sickly shade of white that mirrored the ice beneath him. His mouth was open, loose and slack, mouthguard still jammed into his upper jaw. Shane watched in terror as Ilya grew limper in his arms.
——————————————————
During a Boston-Montreal game, Ilya's neck is cut by a skate, and Shane is forced to witness the love of his life bleeding out on the ice in front of him. All of the plans they have made seem to be slipping away before his eyes, right when they were so close to finalizing Ilya's transfer to Ottawa. As they race against the clock to save Ilya's life, Shane reckons with the secrets they have been forced to keep and fears that they might never get to live their truth out in the open.- Language:

Svetlana tells Shane in chapter two that Ilya never shares details about their sex life with her because “Ilya is too protective of him to talk about him like that” -

Summary
“Mmm. You want it bad,” Ilya purrs, teeth grazing the column of his throat.
“Yeah,” Shane whines, hating how petulant it sounds. A fresh flare of determination rises up in response. “Just give it to me. Ilya. I can—just go hard. Just make it fit.”
Ilya laughs quietly, incredulously. It’s hot against Shane’s ear. “Make it fit."
-
Or: in the midst of a stressful season, Shane's a little... out of practice. He's not gonna let that stop him getting what he wants.

Ilya fucks Shane hard and makes him take it, exactly what Shane wants, but tensions arise at the end because Ilya dom-drops hard and has been feeling neglected and Shane makes a comment about how hockey has been his top priority and shouldn’t Ilya be the one to understand that most?
But Shane realizes, after remembering how Ilya hinted at a fantasy of wanting to keep Shane tied up (so he’d always remember Ilya) and basically said “don’t forget about me I love you please don’t leave me”, that he *has* been neglecting Ilya. He remembers how one time Ilya threw him over his shoulder fireman style and how they made them both laugh so hard, and how Ilya knew exactly how long it had been since they had last seen each other. He feels like shit and makes a point of talking Ilya about the schedule he’s making for them of their days off, and how he will skip practice to have more time with Ilya.

Summary
When Ilya answers, he’s greeted with a whimpered moan that goes straight to his head, leaving him reeling like he’s just thrown back another shot. His mouth drops open, the cigarette dangling stupidly from his lower lip for a second until he plucks it free with his other hand.
Holy fuck. He must be dreaming. But the rough breaths filtering into his ear are too real, tethering him tightly to the moment.
“Jane,” he murmurs, gleeful and shocked. “This is not like you.”
*
Or: after Shane confesses that he can struggle to get off if he's too stressed, Ilya suggests he should just call him next time. He doesn't think Shane would ever be desperate enough to go through with it.
