    Summary

    Everyone knew that Shane had an incredibly strict diet, even during the off season. What most people failed to ever know or realise was that there was a reason he ate like that.

    One that Shane had honestly forgot until his therapist started to work with him to loosen his control on his diet. The reason he remembers when his age old illnesses resurface.

    Summary

    April 2017, Montreal. Shane is hit cleanly. Ilya drops his gloves, his stick, and his helmet; he is beside Shane before he has decided to be. He gets in the ambulance in his skates. He tells Hayden Pike why.

    The bloodwork comes back three days later. Cancer.

    What follows is the worst weather of their lives. They could crumble. They could run — they have both run before, they are good at it, and the year gives them a hundred reasons. Instead, they stand in it. They put their hands on each other and hold, and when one goes down, the other gets him up, and neither of them stays the strong one for long.

    Around them, holding too: a mother who will not sleep, a best friend who has to learn how to be a good one, a teammate who picks up the phone at three in the morning, a man down the hall in a red silk robe who has been loved, unafraid, and out for longer than Ilya has been alive.

    It takes a year. It costs them everything they thought they were.

    They come out the other side. Still chirping. Still each other's.

    Summary

    “But Ilya, I have to go, I will be right back.” Ilya pushed down hard on his thigh and Shane’s inhale became more of a clipped gasp. His eyes drifted up towards Ilya’s face, realisation dawning with each passing second.
    Ilya simply stated, “And I said no.”

    Or: Shane and Ilya are attending a fundraising event for the foundation. Ilya asks if Shane wants him to make it more interesting.
