    Summary

    The lights became strangely bright, the music seemed to echo inside his skull instead of around him. His balance faltered as someone brushed past him, and he laughed automatically, though the sound came out slurred enough that it startled him.

    Weird.

    He hadn't had that much to drink.

    He blinked hard, but the room refused to steady. People seemed to move half a second too late, their faces smearing together whenever he turned his head too quickly. His tongue felt thick in his mouth.

    No. Something was wrong.

    He should… he should find Marley, or Brad, or literally anyone.

    He turned, intending to push through the crowd, only to stumble into someone's shoulder hard enough that they had to catch him before he fell. "Sorry," he tried to say, but it came out almost unintelligible. His pulse lurched.

    Ilya gets drugged at the club. Read the tags please.

    Summary

    Scent patches were mandatory for anyone participating in World Junior's, but a lot of the Russian guys Shane saw in the hotel or around the rink had them loosely attached to their necks or not quite centered over their scent gland. Shane had been on his way to his parents' car when the wind shifted, and he smelled that Rozanov, leaning against the wall and not-at-all-surreptitiously fishing a carton of cigarettes out of his pocket, must have been one of them.

    Trigging but an overall incredible story, worth the push to finish

    Summary

    It’s that simple gesture, that offhanded comment, the implication that they will not, in fact, be meeting at Shane’s weird murder building tonight, that sends Ilya unraveling as he leaves the office. Because of course this is just sex for Shane. You do not invite your fuckbuddy over to take care of you. The privilege of sleeping next to someone, of grabbing ice for their bruises, of making food when they’re too tired to stand, that all falls into the hands of a lover. A real lover. Not the rival you fuck because who else could you trust to keep quiet.

    OR: Ilya accidentally hits Shane too hard on the ice, and the following chain of events leaves him hollow and uncertain and wishing things could be different.

    Summary

    He can’t tell Ilya though. He can’t tell Ilya that his team might not be right for Shane. That this perfect solution is making Shane a worse hockey player, a bad teammate.

    That maybe Shane Hollander of the Voyagers really was his full name. That Shane Hollander of the Centaurs might not exist.

    He can’t say that. He can’t ruin everything. He can’t dim the shine in Ilya’s eyes, the bounce in his step, the color in his cheeks he didn’t have the last few years.

    Ilya sacrificed hockey for their relationship for two years, played on a crappy team and watched Shane win. It’s Shane’s turn to sacrifice, to figure out how to make this work and let Ilya lead this time.

    Or:

    Transitions are hard for Shane. Joining his husband's team turns out not to be an exception to that rule.
