    Summary

    What happens when the body releases years of tension?

After years of denying himself, he finally has Shane, and for the first time he can almost imagine what it feels like to belong somewhere. Everything is starting to make sense.

    So why does he suddenly feel like he’s dying?

    OR

    Summary

    Play was called and medics from Boston and Montreal rushed on. Shane could feel his heart beating out of his chest.

    Get up Ilya, come on baby, get up.

    He was stood waiting, trying so desperately to just seem like a concerned opposing player. When in reality Shane felt like his heart was being ripped in two. He had just about convinced himself to sit down, that Ilya would be back up with his cocky smirk in no time; then he saw the blood splattered on the ice.

    OR

    Ilya gets injured in a game against the Voyagers, and our poor anxious baby Shane goes to pieces. Everything is exposed on the ice and nothing will ever be the same again.

    Summary

    Playing through a brutal fever against Boston was Shane’s first mistake. Not calling his parents after leaving mid-game was his second. So when they rush to his apartment out of sheer panic, they expect to find their sick son. Instead, they find Ilya Rozanov in Shane’s living room. By the next morning, as the fever finally clears, Shane is left wishing that everything he did the night before had just been a crazy fever dream.

     

     Or Yuna and David have to use their emergency keys to check on Shane, only to find their son's arch-rival playing nurse.
