    Summary

    Shane Hollander expected a lot out of the combine before the 2009 NHL draft: meeting the competition, impressing possible future teams and ultimately securing his spot in the NHL.

    What he didn't expect was 50 questions that were about to change his whole damn life.

    Or: How an autism diagnosis, a therapist and something magical called communication rebuild the whole trajectory of the Hollander/Rozanov saga bit by bit.

    Summary

    Shane gasped and stumbled backwards. “Three weeks? You decided-” his hands flew to his mouth. “How could you do this without talking to me? This is what? To punish me because I won’t come out on your timeline?”

    Ilya felt a stab of anger. “You won’t come out on any timeline!”

    Shane blinked at him. “I literally drove here tonight because I wanted to know if you would accept six to twelve months!” 

    “A timeline,” he barked. “This is our lives, Shane. I want to be with you fully now. I know you are scared, but you need to be brave, and I am so deeply fucking unhappy being your dirty little secret.”

    “That’s not fair Ilya, it’s going to be complicated for me. I’m already the only Asian captain in the league! The media, sponsors, the Voyageurs? It’s going to need to be carefully managed-”

    Or: After the Boxing Day fight, Ilya loses faith in the idea that Shane will come out quickly and decides to make a wild move and agrees on a trade to Vancouver. Can these two idiots in love find their way back to each other?

    Summary

    If you’re wondering what the fuck happened to Scott Hunter, the answer is this: a series of cascading catastrophic decisions. A domino effect, a Rube Goldberg machine that starts at a club in Ibiza and ends with him eating a Montreal bagel on the floor.

    In which Scott Hunter accepts a trade to Montreal, just as Shane Hollander is named captain.

    Summary

    Shane discovers he’s been missing out. He corrects course.

    ———

    After some of the players answer a survey on drug use, Shane realized there’s a lot he doesn’t know about. Embarrassed, he makes up for lost time. Ilya only finds it slightly (devastatingly) attractive.

    Summary

    It all makes sense.

    Ilya has probably already reached out to the next person on his list — someone less boring, less demanding, more responsive to instructions. Obedient. Maybe untouched. Perhaps as inexperienced as Shane was in 2008. Someone good.

    After all, Shane has nothing left to offer anymore.

    — The aftermath of their Las Vegas encounter leaves Shane struggling to stay afloat. Ilya isn't there to help.
    Another alternate version of what happens after s01e02.
