Summary
“Is Boston even interested.”
Ilya scoffs at him like Shane is an idiot.
“Is sky blue? Is water wet? Is English stupid language? Yes, Hollander, of course we want best player in the league.” Ilya mutters more in disgruntled Russian and Shane gets up off the couch to Google Russian lessons on his ipad while continuing their conversation.
Or, a Shane goes to Boston story.

Summary
Ilya closes his eyes.
He blinks back his tears. He wants to nod or shake his head or something, but he can't.
This can't be happening.
He blinks and blinks and blinks again but he's still in the hospital and he still feels like shit and his mom is dead and Shane is far away and he thinks he's depressed and there is something inside of him that he doesn't know what to do with.
Fuck, he thinks, in russian and in english and in french, even. Fuck.Or, in 2020, Ilya has a (very) unplanned, (very) complicated pregnancy, Shane has to learn that sometimes things don't work out the way he planned, and some other things. Set in The Long Game, kind of.

Summary
Lily is calling Shane for the first time ever, and it's in the middle of a rowdy locker room, and they haven't spoken in two months since the tuna melt and first names situation. Lily called twice before Shane was sent to press following a win. There he is asked about the leaked explicit photographs between himself and rival, Ilya Rozanov.
Ilya immediately flies to Montreal to face his feelings for Shane, no longer needing to hide in shadows as their lives become more public than ever. Russia cancels Ilya's passport and he becomes stuck in Canada, forcing both Shane and Ilya into decisions they were barely ready to make.
Ilya and Shane come to a head with their public personas as their true selves take shape for everyone to see. What they didn't know was how thrilling and freeing it would be to let go of everything that held them at arms length from the other, embracing the versions of themselves they see in each other instead of what prying public eyes decide to make of them.
Could it be possible to lose everything that defined them as rivals but gain something so much more in the love they hold each other?
