Summary
Ilya wished he hadn’t chosen Shane. He said it himself. It may have been in Russian, but Shane understood him. And now, Shane had to fix it. He could make Ilya happy again. He could.
After the almost-plane crash, Shane comes to the gut-wrenching realization that if he wants Ilya to be happy, he'll have to do the most painful thing imaginable.
He'll have to let Ilya go.

Summary
“Shane, this is Anatoly Petrov and his husband—”
“Ilya Rozanov,” Shane blurts out before he can stop himself. Shane's shocked to see him now, a ghost plucked right out of his teenage years, his pre-MHL hockey days. He's even more shocked to see the modesty collar on Rozanov.
“Petrov,” the woman introducing them finishes weakly. “His husband, Ilya Petrov.”
__
Or: When Ilya is outed as an Omega, he's forcibly married off before he has the chance to break free and become an international hockey star. Years after the single game they played against one another, Shane and Ilya encounter each once again, and Shane helps Ilya escape the cage of his marriage.

Summary
Ilya knows that no one loves the same version of a person; his Shane is different to Yuna’s Shane, who is different to David’s Shane, who is different to J.J., or Rose, or Hayden’s Shane. And while Ilya knows he’d fall in love with every single version, he’s happy he gets this one. Happy he gets the Shane who lets himself be trusting, and vulnerable, and honest.
It makes Ilya wish he could have loved Shane earlier - makes him wish he could have known him longer. But he’s just glad he gets to do it now, here, like this.
(Or, four times people are surprised by Shane’s clinginess, and one time they completely expect it.)

Summary
“We’re pregnant,” Shane said again. “Ilya! We’re having a fucking baby!”
“A little baby Hollander, with an adorable little nose and dark eyes.”
“A little baby Rozanov, with curly hair,” Shane said, looking up at Ilya with an awestruck expression. “And beautiful hazel eyes.”
“With dark hair and freckles,” Ilya countered.
“With a crooked nose and crooked smile,” Shane said. Tears were beginning to gather in the corner of his eyes.
“A broken nose is not passed down that way, I am thinking.”
“Shut up,” Shane said. Then he looked chagrined. “I mean, I love you.”
Or: Ilya Rozanov is pregnant.

Summary
It does mean missing out on things like barbeques and team dinners sometimes, but it’s not as if he would have been able to participate anyway. At this point in his life, risking someone not taking his allergies seriously would mean potentially missing games, which makes it unacceptable. Jackie always makes sure he has a dish or two that’s safe when he’s over at their house, but if he was going to be the one guy sitting and drinking ginger ale instead of taking part in sharing nachos or Korean barbeque or burgers or any other delicious thing he goes in knowing he can’t have anyway, there’s no point in making a fuss about it. He eats at home, has a drink with everyone else, and he calls it a day. Easy. Safe. Foolproof.
But also the reason it doesn’t occur to him that he hasn’t actually told Ilya about any of his allergies until it becomes immediately relevant five days into being at his cottage together.
(how ilya learns about shane's food allergies) (and how shane learns what it's like to have someone who always saves him a seat at the table) (and who also makes sure there's food he can eat on the table to start with)
